I think Trump blew it on Chinese tariffs. We don't need a tit for tat when the economy is showing signs of weaker performance over the year or two to come.

Is the US federal government, with the POTUS at the top, really in position to direct and muzzle US corporate interests? it's the other way around, as the Big Recession taught us...our economy is a product of what the biggest of our industries want it to be: capitalism, which resists restraint by govt...

Good point.
So now we've got a situation where Trump's strength will become his weakness.

This is why I find all the Trump hate so suffocating. When his actions actually need an alternative voice everyone is already deaf from the constant blubbering.

I was sort of replying to this in your post:

"And the reality of it is that the next liberal President will just give it all back. They'll use the same tools Trump is using (if necessary) to revoke the tariffs."

sounded like you were defining opposing partisan views. I agree more with the newer post.

It's your complexion. You have such young looking skin.

unpredictability caused by ignorance of how the world works?

his recognition that his words have meaning, regardless of how nonsensical they are, and his child-like glee in using this power...
