Johnson asked the businessmen and women to raise their hands if they saw any advantages to the tariffs – no one did.

China's economy is slumping pretty hard. I imagine we'll prevail in these trade wars much quicker than any rational person would expect.

They have been convinced by Trump that any move in the stock market is only sure sign of good/ bad economy

I mean he tried to claim stock market value gain shrunk up deficit.... And they ate it up

I'm convinced Trump actually believes this, fwiw, so at least he's not guilty of intentional wrongdoing.

Can you imagine having voted for someone who says that? Holy fuk

How nearsighted would you have to be to find that quote even remotely controversial.

Good grief #libtards. Stick to calling people racists.

Try something other than Vox, Slate, and the New Yorker. Like a source that might know a rough ridin' thing about economics.

if you want to debate the issue, post a debatable statement, instead of a vague generality. otherwise, there's no point in me responding with anything more than a vague generality of my own.

I would be very interested in a list of fsd approved news sources.

Like even 5 approved ones.

I am 100% certain you don't want a debate with me bc of what would certainly happen.

you are 100% wrong. please introduce the evidence for your assertions (re. the chinese economy and the likely duration of the trade war, i don't care for your evidence re. what you think i want).

that article does not support your assertion. it's main points are 1. this quarter's gdp does not reflect much impact from tariffs, you need to wait for future numbers to see an impact and 2. china appears to be (maybe) allowing their currency to fall to mitigate the impact of tariffs.

the first point directly refutes your statement that you are already seeing weakness in the chinese economy. the second point is ambiguous at best, but, can as easily be taken as chinese resolve to use monetary policy to withstand a long trade war as any other interpretation.
