Since Trump was elected and started this trade war with China which most economists indicated would be ruinous for otr economy the US stock market is up 27% and the Chinese market is down 20%. Every time Trump layers new tariffs on China the US market surges to new highs. The economists might want to listen to the markets rather than their own inner voices. Seems to me the markets are telling us that the best thing we can do from a trade perspective is unload China altogether as a trading partner
Actually, Trump did not start any trade war. China and the EU were waging trade war on us for a long time; Trump is the first to fight back.
