This is all about NEGOTIATING. The public, especially the media, harps on the first thing out of Trump’s mouth (5% tariffs on Mexico) without even realizing it’s just the starting point in negotiations.
Right but you keep moving the goalposts. China was supposed to be short term too and now it's been a year and a half and we're sending billions and billions to farmers

China keeps raising the bar.
They will lose.
Trade with China is only 3.5% of our annual GDP. It's approximately 10% of their paper tiger GDP. We have the leverage and we can mitigate that 3.5% risk toward other trading partners.

i don't get it. trump is trying to stop something that has been causing significant pain. he's also trying to help farmers in the short term so they don't feel the pain. explain to me how this is not EXACTLY how the govt should operate.
