Trump isn't our best player. That's your first mistake. But there is nothing we can do about it so he's going to either prove me wrong or right. He hasn't proven me wrong yet.
All these people thinking that China is ready to collapse financially and that we can hold out longer than they can. I doubt that. If they were scared, cargo ships wouldn't be showing up empty. China must be holding back in an attempt to empty our shelves in the next coming months.
Yes, reports indicate that cargo ships arriving at US ports are arriving empty or with fewer containers than usual. This is partly due to a reduction in demand for Chinese goods after new tariffs were implemented, leading to fewer shipments and cancellations. Some ships are also being used for other purposes or are idling due to the decrease in demand.
I don't think our demand has gone down, has it? In other words we aren't going to buy what they offer us because the price is too high. So we will be forced to look for American alternatives, which don't exist. And if they do the price is going to be a lot more. 2 dolls will cost what 30 dolls used to cost. I used to be able to buy 30 dolls for the same price today I pay for 2 dolls.
