Trade war with China will plunge us into recession
And unless Trump backs down, or by some miracle China backs down, then Trump will be entering the 2020 elections with a failing economy. This means he will be extra likely to lose.
The trade war is intended to balance the trade deficit with China. The more likely scenario is that it shifts Chinese jobs to other parts of Asia. In the unlikely scenario we bring some of these jobs back to America, many of them will be automated within a few decades.
Any trump supporters wanna try to explain why this trade war is a good idea?
