Trump might be fighting with China just to see if the left will start putting “I stand with China” flags in their front yards.

A better explanation would be that he doesn’t understand how other cultures work and how they negotiate and do business. It’s a downfall of putting someone like him in this position.
understanding might be had if you didn’t suffer from severe Op Mockingbird fakenews induced TDS. 
TDS= “Trump Does Suck” Keep it up cultist… 
He struggles whenever he comes upon something that doesn’t do what he tells them to do. That’s true. It has to do with being rich since birth. People who were rich since birth are the opposite of people who were poor and became rich.
But he’s figuring it out. I hope this all ends with a worldwide prohibition on tariffs, everywhere.

That just is not possible. Even we have “protectionist” tariffs in place on some goods.
As an example, we do not want our steel industry to disappear. It is too important for national security. So let’s say Mexico suddenly started subsidizing their steel industry so that their companies could sell steel at a crazy low price. Without tariffs, they would eventually shut down every nation’s steel industry. This is just a hypothetical example.
We know you’ve got a severe case Tom, hopefully you get well soon.
Trump derangement syndrome (TDS ) is a pejorative term used to describe negative reactions to US President Donald Trump that are perceived to be irrational and to have little regard for Trump’s actual policy positions.[1] The term has mainly been used by Trump supporters to discredit criticism of him, as a way of reframing the discussion by suggesting that his opponents are incapable of accurately perceiving the world.[2][3] Some journalists have used the term to call for restraint when judging Trump’s statements and actions.[4][5][6]
More CHYNA news…
The counter move to foreign dumping is for our government to buy it all on the cheap. I say this all the time, if other nations are stupid enough to trade us their hard goods that took limited resources and human labor to manufacture in return for pieces of paper or I.O.U.s (Treasuries)… buy it all! Dummies.
“Here is your paper. If you want us to buy some more, we can print more paper. Keep those shipping containers coming!”
Stop making sense. Only other countries are allowed to have protectionist tariffs. And any reciprocal tariffs are are considered “unfair trade practices”.
Trump has been telegraphing his intentions long before the election. He has been all about protecting the USA from China since forever.
He is the only President since the 1990’s with the courage to take them on. Thank God for Trump.

Maybe, but he’s going to run into a problem that China doesn’t have. Our kids won’t work in factories at any pay rate. They just won’t.

When the economic bubble bursts (which is more likely to happen now than not) they will work.
This isn’t the Henry Ford era when an employer can just offer twice the going pay-per-hour and have employees line up to take those factory jobs.
That’s what I thought in the construction business during every economic downturn.

That era was pre-China. Wallstreet futures will soon be worthless, your gold will reign and everything else will bottom out. It will be another reset. Bigger than Japan’s asset reset by far.
I take my 7-year old son to work at least a couple times a week. Last weekend he asked for pizza. I saw it as another opportunity. I told him that he and I had to first finish digging a ditch I had started. And there we were in the evening, a little cold, tired, and super hungry, digging a ditch. Afterwards he and I went for pizza.
My 6-year old daughter is different. I just can’t bring myself to treat her the same way, and that’s my fault. I love her and I love Trump… and they are identical. She grew up in a world where she got anything she wanted by simply ordering someone to get it for her. If she wants an apple juice, she tells her nanny or the maid that she wants apple juice and they go get it with ice and a straw on the side in case she wants ice or a straw. It’s not her fault, she grew up surrounded by household help and thinks that’s how the world works. Trump thinks the same way. And recently, they are both finding out… that isn’t the way the world works.

Maybe. But look closely at what happened. He blew everything up to show our power. Now, we have a simple 10% tariff and have isolated China.
China is helping Russia in the Ukraine war while simultaneously attempting to woo Europe into their market.
China is in a very very bad position. All we have to do is start making the things China used to make for us. China has to look for all new markets to sell what they make. And China’s only leverage is propaganda, which (unfortunately) our leftist media is all too eager to distribute.
What’s easier?
-
For us to build factories, find people to run those factories, find people to work in those factories, procure the raw materials, and build everything we need?
-
For China to find new customers including their own people for goods they already produce inside their own country?
