Will this negative trade relationship between the world's two great economies trigger a deep recession?

What makes you think Trump will embark on any sort of significant trade war? This is Trump being Trump.

Accuse an adversary of heinous crimes. Threaten bad things. Let the other side come to the table bringing even just a little. Claim righteous victory.

Trump will NOT do something to tank the economy in the next 15 months. I'm not saying there won't be a deep recession...(though I seriously doubt it...too many good numbers right now)...just that if there is one, it won't likely be because Trump said something about China.

The condensed version it that we've been below the the targeted growth for a full recovery since 2007.

But the stock market is killing it so we should all party like it's the '80's. 🍺

He will say the very least and do the very least to appease the deomcrats on gun control change( who want it) and marry it to the immigration reform bill that he wants badly..

He will let the Chinese thing "blow in the wind" till they back down...

Amazing the political theater now where you get in trouble with the same people for fighting, that question if you would if there was a 4th Reich.

As it should be... We as a nation should no longer accept products from China whose low price results directly from semi slave labor...

Anyone who complains about our national minimum wage should hold their tongue on this issue.... If Americans deserve liveable wages, so do the Chinese... And the reason the Chinese don't get them is America's consumption of low priced Chinese goods...

Any good manufactured in China that could be manufactured in the US should be taxed the second it hits our ports to an extent that will raise the price of said good to the price it would be had it been manufactured domestically...

I agree 100% with everything you said. I also believe that fair tariffs would create jobs domestically, instead of incentivizing these giant corporations to find the cheapest wages globally.

Will you acknowledge the lack of them has kept them low?

They won't let him make substitutions or exclusions.

Why? They don't pay their workers and they don't follow environmental regulations so they can make it cheaper than anyone...

If we bring the prices of those goods up to what they should be - based on environmental policies and livable wages - corporations will no longer be incentivized to move production overseas...

It's bull! The friggin rice is cheaper than the chow mein anyway, just give me double rice!
