i don’t know
much about international economics. but i do think that it’s not as simple as your original post made it out to be. if your only goal is to bash trump, you’ll find plenty of ammunition to do that. if your goal is to figure out what’s going on, it helps
to listen to people who are on opposite sides of an issue, and decide who makes more sense.

it’s not as simple
as orange man bad.

My original post simply listed the change in trade between China and USA. Those are facts so in typical Trumplican fashion, you called them a liberal rant. Anything that can be construed as anti Trump is immediately labeled bad.

I'll see your CNBC article and raise you one WSJ

Amid all the fuss about a multi-decade low in Chinese GDP growth, there are early signs that easier fiscal and monetary policy are starting to help:

Perhaps you can explain why the Fed might cut rates, instead of just claiming your leader (who you don't really like) is a stable genius?
