Just the start unless Trump does some quick and serious backing down on this trade war nonsense, which he's so unpredictable in most ways that he might do.
Trump supporters might not see a trade war as serious business yet, but the rest of the world sure does -- and even, if worse comes to worse, a few Trump supporters might come around once they lose their jobs.
Here's a kind of worse case possibility although I can't say how likely it is, not being an economist. The trade wars heat up just about when the sugar high of the tax cuts is over. I'm guessing that would be a nearly "perfect storm" to wreck the economy. And that would hit a lot of people hard -- certainly not just Trump supporters.
Depends if you're on a boat or not.If you drink beer from a can you deserve it.
Well, the thing is, back when the politicians and corporations were pushing for NAFTA and arguing for removing trade barriers, they made all kinds of wild promises about how it would be great for America, but after 25 years, where is the money? Where is the proof that any of this has been good for the average American? Why are tens of millions of Americans still living in poverty, while many more millions are struggling to stay above water? Countless millions are laden with personal debt, while the US itself has an insurmountable debt.
America's economy was much better off 50-60 years ago when we still had tariffs and unions were strong. Ever since Reagan-Bush pushed for free trade, America's economy, our industries, our infrastructure have slowly deteriorated, while the middle class languishes in stagnation.
At the very least, those bashing Trump and poo-pooing the idea of tariffs should at least be willing to answer for the past 30+ years of economic stagnation and malaise in America. Or as they say: "Show us the money!"
If you don't want people to continue to support Trump, then just answer this: What's it worth to you? How much extra are willing to give to working class Americans? That's why all the anti-Trump rhetoric is falling on deaf ears, because none of the Trump-bashers are willing to put their money where their mouth is. Money talks and bulls**t walks.
So, ... It's all about you, for you.1: Ste
1: Steelworker might not have supposedly IQ of D.Trump but he feels very empathatic [D.T as businessman will get profit out of this IMO]
2: I am a vegan and love animals, so the higher the price humans have to pay, the better I'd say [D.T does try to get his pork intake down I read]
3: I only drink water. If higher prices mean people drink less [alcohol] = better health [+D.T reached 1 of His Goals]

I tried to Google Bob Dyke to see where he got his degree in International Economics, or Political Science, or even if he at one time ran a steel mill. Couldn't seem to find anything. Could you maybe help us out with his credentials?

What I am saying is just because there has been a decline in the U.S. manufacturing sector does not mean that NAFTA is responsible. Those jobs did not go to Canada or Mexico. Mostly they disappeared due to mechanization. That or they went to China, or India. But that has little to do with nafta.No answers to my questions? I thought so.
