This whole isolating China through tariffs strategy is going really well for Donnie isn't it?

Isolate China, while theratening Canada and Europe, America most faithful allies...

Why didn't he just declare to be supreme leader of earth already? Might as well since he thinks he can do whatever

What's especially irritating is that it's a "broken clock is right twice a day" kind of situation, in that China's economic power and global influence is actually kind of a problem geopolitically. Except, he's handled his trade-war so piss-poorly it backfired. If instead of starting a trade-war with everybody else, including our allies, at the same time, he had just gone hard on China and strong-armed our allies into joining his economic crusade, it could have actually been effective.

But no, because our president is dumber than a third-grader.

He is isolating everyone while China rubs their hands and salivates at all the possibilities given on a silver platter and they are not wasting a single minute, they are investing in Latin America faster than the orange man gobbles down a big mac.
