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?

Nah, it's you constantly triggered snowflake lefties who'll never learn.
Keep calling Trump "Hitler" and freaking out over every little thing he does... keep repeating Trump has no chance to win in 2020 (just like you all did in 2016)... Trump will still be re-elected despite all of y'alls crybaby b*tching and whining lol... guaranteed. 🙂

So did looney George Clooney, Nancy Pelosi (she even said "take it to the bank" lol), and pretty much everyone else on the left including the lefties on this forum (many of whom conveniently disappeared right after Trump won and haven't been seen from again lol).
Oh, but THIS TIME they're right though that he'll never win in 2020. 😆
We have to trust them this time. 🙄

Sure, just like he was gonna lose in 2016, right? 😂 🤣 😂Nah, Trump's already got the win in the bag. 👆
That being said, he won by a very narrow margin and has fulfilled virtually none of his promises, while at the same time just making things worse than they already were and giving the appearance that he's mentally unstable and unfit to hold office. He will lose in 2020. I will bump this post when he does to remind you of your blind cult-like stupidity.

At this point I think it's silly to say for sure if he'd win or lose. People did that last time and it backfired. I was sure he'd lose in 2016, he didn't.
We can point to all the factors we want right now to justify our attitudes of "he's definitely gonna win" or "he's definitely gonna lose". Truth is, none of us are even close to knowing for sure. It's a guessing game, and no guess is better than the other at this point.
It's the Democrats to lose...
But they're good at that.
Hard to say though cos there's 2 competing factors. On the one hand they don't have anyone running with the same animosity towards them as Clinton had. But the DNC also already seem to be favouring the candidates they think are "entitled" to be President, just like they did last time, instead of picking the person that would have the best chance of winning
From a non-American who has lived in America quite a good chunk of his life, I feel that the trade war with China was inevitable. The question was when. China aggressively wants to be the dominant economy in the world and it has little qualms about what it has to do in order to achieve it.
The questions now are: Can you win it? And what's going to be the cost of fighting it?
If anything, this trade war has given me a bit of respect for Trump. He's got balls if he's willing to do this. Of course, I'm not an economist. I know wars are bad. But some are inevitable. Why wait til China is much stronger?

I think you're too confident about this China thing eThneoLgRnaeIt could potentially work out, but it's a gamble.
Meh.. pretty much everything has some element of risk to it. I fully trust Trump's judgment though when it comes to economics and trade.
Us consumers don't have to buy things made by the chinese. I've already decided to avoid buying stuff from China when it can be helped. It's not always so easy though to find an alternative. When I shop for electronic equipment on Amazon, for example, I usually have to search for several pages to find a product not made in China that is to my liking. It can be very annoying and time-consuming.

And if we're in such dire straits over China I think maybe folk should focus on that and not stuff like..."Look at how Melania is looking at Justin Trudeau in this photo!".
This wasn't just stuff TDS sufferers here were posting about that lol. I saw articles about it on CNN, etc.

That is indeed funny but I don't undersrtand why you watch CNN and/or read their articles in the first place? Just doing it to get a laugh, I guess? Surely you don't actually take them seriously, do you?

It's important to see what the opposition is saying.
CNN is a full on propaganda network now. A guest on there claimed Trump is worse than Hitler, Stalin, and Mao with no pushback from the host Brian Stelter. A real news network would have pushed back, a propaganda network would not.

If the economy is poor then the only advantage he has is being the incumbent. The fact that he's being primaried from the right while being the incumbent is yet another sign of how unpopular he is.
He just playing to his racist base. That's not a winning strategy this time around. It worked last time in part cause blue collar workers and farmers in the rust belt thought he would bring their jobs back. After his policies not only fail to do this but actually make things worse for these industries, his path to victory becomes increasingly unlikely.
