"Trade wars have disrupted agriculture and manufacturing, ripping up supply chains and costing the government billions in aid. Erratic policies have spooked Wall Street and exhausted and frustrated our allies."




https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...ession-2019-10








The trade war has cost United Technologies $200 billion
Ford has lost 1 billion.
Mid Continent Nial is laying off because steel prices
Harley Davidson is moving some production out of the US




And on it goes.




Its time to tighten your belt America. Soon you are going to have to decide if you want to spend $13 for a box of 9mm ammunition or food, assuming farmers will be able to grow food.

Supply chains that needed to be disrupted. Supply chains that only benefited the profits of the 1% against the long term interests of the American people. Supply chains that will gradually rebuilt but hopefully with a multitude of different nations and without just sending American money to China, a possible future enemy of the United States.

Correct.
And even if China bought from, say, Brazil, where do Brazil's old customers buy their soybean since they can't buy it from Brazil anymore?
America.
