      Just talked to my 98-year-old grandpa about Trump's trade war with China. He said he remembers when a local hot dog vender would go down to the Port of Newark and buy up cheap Chinese-made plastic toys, then bring them back to the Arena my grandpa ran and sell them at big profit

      By the way, I think the anecdote about the hot dog guy must've been from sometime in the 1970s or 80s. My grandpa said one of the most popular toys were these plastic harpoon things that kids bought in droves when the circus came to the Arena. Guy made a killing

          The guy, Phil, was able to buy a large house in Glen Ridge, NJ (wealthy area) based on earning a living from selling hot dogs and cheap plastic toys he managed to wrangle in bulk from shippers at the Port. Hard to imagine how that could be possible today

          The Chinese weren't really making anything in the 1970s.
