Trump is obviously playing a game of "tariff chicken" here. He's betting we still have enough economic influence in the world to cause a couple of large countries to blink and start a chain reaction.Tariffs are taxes on trades.
Will it work? I don't know. Now that our dicks are in the wringer, I sure hope so.
But this trajectory won't continue, even Trump knows that. We can't extrapolate out very far in this situation, because conditions are going to change.

I'd guess they're still trying to figure this all out. I'm not sure if they understand Trump's methods, or if they realize he's playing this game. They still seem a little stunned.Trump is obviously playing a game of "tariff chicken" here.

Keep in mind, every example of push back, validates Trump's agenda.
Our trading partners are showing that they think that trade deficits/surpluses matter. And they really like having the surpluses on their side.
Good. We can buy American now.
You have always been free to buy American, only a socialist would want the Govt to force people to do so.

Trade policy is not socialism.
That you have to lie about that, shows that you know you are in the wrong, on this issue.
I have not lied about anything, when trade policy involves the Govt controlling more and more of the economy then it is socialism.
I personally do not want the Govt trying to tell me what to buy, but I happen to hold my freedom a little more closely than you apparently.

Part of the problem here is that Trump makes it impossible for other world leaders to “give in” and still save face in their own countries. This will prolong and deepen the trade war.
The Fed has already lowered its GDP forecast for the current quarter, with the NY Fed showing it in the 2s again and the Atlanta Fed has dropped from over 4 to mid 3s and they were way high last quarter on their forecast.

Does Trump and his staff have the ability to see when he's pushed too far, when it's time to pull back? I'm a little doubtful, but I'm always hopeful.
.
Of course they do. The question is whether America still has enough economic clout to dictate global trade. If we do, they'll have to blink (although they may not blink until a lot of damage has been done). If we don't, Trump will have to blink, and I don't know if he'll wait too long.I'd guess they're still trying to figure this all out.

The whole point of Trade Policy is to ensure that our Trade is, at least, mutually beneficial.
It has not been.
Trade Policy that does not serve the interests of our citizens, is bad trade policy.
You saying "socialism" a lot, is not an argument against that.
Ideological purity is not a good reason to ignore the interests and well being of our citizens.

No, he is a lefty who is using the rhetoric of libertarians, as emotional buzzwords, to attack a pro-American trade policy.

One more time...
3.8% unemployment...
More jobs than people to fill them...
108 straight months of economic expansion, the 2nd longest in our nations history...
Record setting stock markets, till the trade war was started.
How do those things equal “we have not benefited”?

A significant portion of the argument(s) against Trump trade agenda, is that Trade Deficits don't matter.
The strong push back against Trump on Trade, makes that position looking more and more stupid.
America has the power to dictate OUR trade.
We don't have to let them screw US over.
