      Going in to the end of the year, Trump is going to be claiming victory in his trade war. The truth is that there are almost never winners in trade wars — but there are losers. And however Trump may try to spin this, he lost 1/

      That's certainly how the Chinese see it. Trump tried to bully them; they hung tough; and are basically ending up where they started, buying agricultural products while selling us increasingly sophisticated manufactured goods 2/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/14/business/china-trade-hardliners.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur …

      One reason is that despite many, many false claims by Trump, US consumers paid the tariffs — which we can see by the fact that Chinese export prices didn't fall 3/ https://libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2019/11/who-pays-the-tax-on-imports-from-china.html …pic.twitter.com/2YKx5GWT2s

      Actually US export prices to China fell more, probably bc the Chinese found it easier to find alternatives to US soybeans etc than we found alternatives to Chinese products 4/pic.twitter.com/2wZ942EqBO

      As a result, farmers have suffered, with a number going bankrupt, despite a bailout *twice the size of Obama's auto bailout* 5/https://www.axios.com/trump-trade-war-farm-aid-subsidies-auto-bailout-c6eaf580-381b-422f-8c3d-886f3f9e6115.html …

      Furthermore, even if we do get a sustained deal — which is still far from certain — the whole episode will have two big long-run costs. First, business uncertainty about capricious policy is here to stay 6/https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/12/14/lincoln-logs-luggage-us-china-trade-deal-leaves-huge-cloud-over-american-business/ …

      Second, the Chinese have learned the same lesson North Korea's Kim learned: Trump talks loudly but carries a small stick, and can be rolled. Trump has made us weak, neither trusted by our allies nor feared by our enemies 7/

      Now, Trump may not suffer politically. Elections turn not on how good things are, but on whether they're perceived as getting better. This actually gives politicians an incentive to do stupid things for a while, then stop around a year before the election. Sound familiar? 8/

      The auto bailout was $80bn that eventually paid back $70bn, calling a farm bill that cost 28bn "twice the auto bailout" is pretty misleading. Most people remember the auto bailout as being a huge expense because of the $80bn price tag bein reported at the time.

          It's also not clear to me that the farm bailout being discussed is actually more money to farmers than the CBO projected the US would spend back in 2015.https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/02/01/465132866/farm-subsidies-persist-and-grow-despite-talk-of-reform …
