1) DJT and admin keep trading blows with Xi as the weeks go by - Chinese economy stumbles due to tariff pressures and Xi caves and cuts a deal after a while.

2) DJT and admin trade blows but enough American media screams and cries about increased prices on Chinese goods and Trump and them scale back.

3) Trump keeps his foot on the gas and doesn’t let off - causing an economic crisis in China and then leading to military tensions in Pacific.

4) any combination of 1-3

5) Both countries suffer enough to make a deal where both sacrifice some stuff and both are able to walk away saying “we secured a better deal”

Trump isn't backing down in any possible scenario

Both sides will eventually settle and both will claim victory

Anything other than 2. Trump will never do that, and for good reason

That would mean manufacturing stays in China.

That is not what Trump promised.

Is what should logically happen. Unfortunately Chy-na has no moral standard and will allow their citizens to suffer and die over this just to win.

I mean if Trump scales back and backs down due to media and outcry.. that’s definitely a loss even if he claims victory

Not necessarily. Higher tariffs would still be in place causing normal economic impacts, but it would be on a more fair playing field.

End of the day, if both have higher tariffs, then both incentivize their economies to create and manufacture their own shite in their own countries.

Trump wouldn’t do this if he wasn’t certain about our chances is my full belief.

After all this man has achieved I can’t believe so many still underestimate him.

5. Congress or the Judicial branch steps in and blocks all of these National Security tariffs after large numbers of their constituents begin closing shop.

So trust the man who went bankrupt 6x?

He's going to lose this trade war but he'll never admit it

I feel like China has advantages on paper, at least. The US replacement supply base isn't yet established. The ensuing pain could spell political problems for both leaders, except Xi has no fear of being "voted out".

Eventually we stop paying our debt and give up our jobs.

At that point China will eat it. They can’t survive without our money.

And I love how your cult refuses to let you think logically.

Allowing for the possibility of Trump losing is not the same as rooting for him to lose.

I can root for LSU and still acknowledge the possibility of them losing a game.

Maoists would be impressed by your conditioning.

The American media will echo the American consumer. It's the American consumer that will "scream and cry". China knows this, and China also knows this shite will be over before black friday.

What is Christmas in the United States without China?

The President of the United States has no moral standard and will allow their citizens to suffer and die over this just to win.
