    Or Trump could, if he wanted. The problem, however, is that (1) if we back down unilaterally, China will never take us seriously again & (2) nothing short of sticking it out & getting re-elected is likely to bring the Chinese to the table.https://twitter.com/philipaklein/status/1164983147894890496 …

    At this point a new president could come into office and do nothing other than to end the trade war, and it would amount to a massive economic stimulus that does not require Congressional action.

        There’s a non-zero chance that sticking out the trade war, on top of other economic headwinds, pushes the US into a recession in time for the election, making re-election much more difficult.

        A good deal more than non-zero.

        And you've just outlined Trump's strategy in a short tweet. It's got to be fixed now or it never will be.

        I wish someone could tell me how wiping out billions in personal wealth is a good re-elect strategy

        I don't understand why some people are okay with China screwing us for eternity? Of course there will be pain involved with rebalancing the relationship.

        The whole problem with this is that China has probably incurred worse economic pain and now has a complete nightmare occurring in its wealthiest "territory" in Hong Kong. Let's leave the vacuum here, a deal would do the Chinese good too, and they know it.

        Or the alternative is that the Chinese could crush the Hong Kong resistance while the protestors were killed waving American flags and singing our national anthem. What a great look that would be to Chinese trading partners!

        Trump wants less trade (only way to zero out the trade deficit) on top of China concessions. Lose-lose. Room for new President to say give concessions and we’ll get you more trade, net win.
