Morning exit....

The thing that scares me about doing battle with China (though I know it’s necessary) is that, unlike America, the Chinese government has NO concern for its citizens. They can suffer from the economic fallout until the cows come home, and it falls on deaf ears.

Judy, I think Xi only has a small window where the Chinese will accept dire economic hardship.

In Mao’s day, the people had nothing.

But now, a few hundred million have tasted the good life that Western prosperity brought since the mid-1980s.

The last thing Xi and his cronies want is a popular uprising.

Trump understands this.

Ergo, maximum pressure by Stable Genius!
