Everyone.
A massive reconciling that has been LOOOONG overdue of all the issues that were played down or ignored over the years.
Our entire lives have been nothing but massive trade deficits... or BS trade deals where the other side ignored their obligations (China etc)... and we just continued doing nothing but quietly grumbling. Its time in my opinion to balance the books in these areas. China has been by far the most dishonest of any and all trading partners on the planet with their blatant theft of IP, their refusal to open their markets, their open manipulation of their currency, their having no intention at all to abide by their end of any trade agreements and so on.

I hear ya and tend to agree. My big concern is the fact that trump has put all those trade deals in flux at the same time. It's not just 1 product and 1 country, it's a lot of products and a lot of countries all at the same time. throw in some nukes too. does trump think he can win both denuking NK AND get trade concessions from China? that's a lofty goal.
i'm open to it. but certainly reasonably skeptical.
