    I think it will be interesting to see what China does as this bullying continues. They’re already facing tariffs, so they don’t have much to lose by stepping in and picking up new trade partners as Trump pisses everyone off. Might hurt for awhile, but it was always going to. Trump could prove to be the best thing for China’s economy & global influence in the long run.

      China threatened 75% tarriffs when Trump mentioned 10% tarriffs. Don’t see him following through with his threat yet.

        Personally, I’ve stopped thinking, “he can’t be that stupid/crazy.” Every time I think that, he proves me wrong!
