“... as the shortages and supply disruptions start making it here from China, I’m sure much of the optimism will fade.”
I see it a little differently. Trump will, as he has done in the past, make a negative into a positive. He will entice all of that production to return here. The new construction and jobs will boost an already stellar economy. Yes, there will be some difficulty if the virus hits the United States, but I will wager the necessary production will ramp up in weeks rather than years.

I agree this will work in Trump’s favor - after all, who’s been screaming about the Chinese dominating us? But my only point was replying to the article, as to whether Americans will remain upbeat.
