You are entitled to respect on a Christian forum, and I agree these debates should not get personal vis-à-vis the people in the discussion. But regarding Trump and co, it is personal, since these personal actors are responsible for the current chaos and indeed could end it with a few considered actions.

I do not believe they thought their strategy through well enough. They went for maximum emotional impact rather than effective results. A better strategy to improve America's trading position would have been a more friendly approach toward allies, bringing them on board with the real threat to fair trading from China and Russia, and other countries in Asia.

Trump Admin Preparing to Unleash a New Economic Weapon That Could Devastate China: Report

China's history makes it a difficult adversary to predict, but Trump's broader tariff policy remains wise and sure to succeed regardless.
www.westernjournal.com

Although it looks like the stock market is mostly close back to the levels seen before the beginning of April, I am still very optimistic that the tariffs strategy of the Trump administration will result in positive growth for the USA and our allies in the long term. I believe that most of us recognize China is not our friend or our ally. China and also Russia dominance of world & European business markets should be reduced, big time, in my opinion. If that happens, then the USA & Europe & our allies across the world will reap excellent benefits.

There's an MSNBC video out that has a good summary. And as they point out, US tourism is the only commodity where America has a 100% trade surplus. And these figures are just for March, when a lot of people would still be locked in with bookings that can't be refunded. The long term impact will be more telling, let alone what it will do to the World Cup and Olympics.

I fully expect someone like him to answer the questions from a globalists perspective.

This is a very weak reply. You are basically ignoring the claims that have been made, and appear to think that by simply labeling a person as a "globalist" that you have somehow given a legitimate response.
