Trade war vs trade peace is a misleading analogy. Haggling is a better one. Trump is haggling for a better deal and on the whole as far as I can see he has gotten a better deal. But if you use the trade war analogy, then we have been the victims of trade war attacks and are finally fighting back.
For some people, “peace” is worth it an any price, up to and including enslavement.
For some of us, we would rather risk ruin or death than live as slaves.
Bottom line is, there are many people to whom “Trade Peace” is worth any price.
I am not one of them.
