    I’m a little gun shy about the trade war because Trump has established a pattern of ramping up a conflict and then declaring victory at the first meaningless concession, as with North Korea.

        Declaring victory and going home would be an excellent off ramp to this cf.

        I do think trade action and retaliation are legit functions of government, and need to be part of a grand strategy for labor, economic, and foreign policy reasons. Not confident in the execution here.

        I’d be gun shy because tariffs are terrible policy that fail to achieve their goals while fostering political dysfunction along the way.

        These are part of a trade war which Adam Smith saw as a necessary evil.

        It's almost as if central planners care more about politics than results.
