Neither are ill-conceived, ill-planned trade wars that will cost Americans who will receive nothing in return excepting higher prices on consumer goods and the bill to bailout affected industries.
I had no idea so many conservatives were masochists. They're cheering for American pain under the ruse it will feel good in the long run.
If Trump succeeds in opening up Chinese markets it will be a long term gain. He's just doing what he promised- trying to negotiate better trade deals. And you can't negotiate from a position of weakness. In theory a trade war will hurt china more than the US so hopefully they will make some concessions.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they very often are not.

As long as they can stick it to everyone they hate i.e. the libs, the gays, the "trannies", the poor, the educated, etc, they are happy. That's really all they care about; making the lives of those they hate more miserable. Trumpism is pretty much one big tantrum by 40% of the country that cannot accept that we had a non-white President and cannot accept a SCOTUS ruling.
Not looking forward to the coming recession, which Trump and his supporters will own. They are about to succeed in undoing everything that "evil satanic black Kenyan Muslim" did in office, including the economic recovery.
