OK. Pour the concrete for us if you can.
That's very true; just ask Obama about his 'red line' threat. He really made people quake in their boots after that.....
I'm not; but then I am not the one guessing about results of something that has not even happened yet.....unlike yourself and others here.....
And of course YOU know it is going to fail because of what?......your omniscience?.....your fortune telling credentials?.....because the woolly worms aren't so woolly this year? You are simply guessing just like the rest of the naysayers (read: leftist progressives who hate Trump no matter if he succeeds or not) here? That ship already sailed; you missed the boat.
I based what I think on what happened last time:

Also keep in mind the rise in bankruptcies occurred WITH the Trump bailout. It would have been higher if we didn't have to bail them out. I am just not sure why anyone would think something that even the article you provided noted was a cause in bankruptcies wouldn't happen again as other countries retaliate. As I said, we already seen it. And btw, this since the Trump era:Another view......
In addition, trade wars are far from the only factor at play for farmers in Wisconsin and nationwide.Trade wars hit farmers hard, but Biden oversimplifies
In wide-ranging recent comments criticizing President Donald Trump, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden touched
Reuters described it this way:
The increase in (2019 bankruptcies) had been somewhat expected, bankruptcy experts and agricultural economists said, as farmers face trade battles, ever-mounting farm debt, prolonged low commodity prices, volatile weather patterns and a fatal pig disease that has decimated China’s herd.
John Newton, chief economist at the Farm Bureau, cited many of the same factors in an interview with PolitiFact Wisconsin.
"The farm bankruptcies are a function of not only retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agriculture by China, but also years of low commodity prices created by a global economic slowdown and large supplies of grains, oilseeds and livestock products internationally and recent natural disasters," Newton said in an email. "I don’t think you can lay the blame of higher farm bankruptcies on the retaliatory tariffs alone."
Our ruling
Speaking in Manitowoc, Biden said Trump started a trade war that "led to a surge in farm bankruptcies."
The trade wars have indeed hit farmers hard. And bankruptcies rose at the height of the trade wars, increasing more than they had in the four prior years.
But this claim oversimplifies by listing the trade wars alone as being responsible for that increase.
We define Half True as a statement that is partially accurate but leaves out important details or takes things out of context. That fits here.

Trump promised a drop in consumer prices. From Day 1. You won't find an economist who says that will happen when he introduces his tarrifs. Also on Day 1. If you can't read the writing on the wall then guessing is your only option.
I am sure you will. The real question is will you be there to point out that you were wrong when it happens? Forgive me if I don't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
Next up Canadian oil. Obviously it's easier to ship to the US, but if tariffs alter the financials...
