              So the previous "trade deal" he boasted about was just a "concept of a deal" and now we are back in full trade war ... again.

                He understands what they do for him, which is to tank and rebound specific markets in a predictable way so that he and his goons can insider trade.

                There was never a trade war - he doesn't give a shit about the economy. It's market manipulation.

                    You don't understand he always did and he benefits from it, but needs to lie about it for his "very confused" constituents to follow him? Why do you assume incompetence when the man has more than earned Hell!?

                            China produces about 3/4 of the worlds neodymium magnets and those are the strongest permanent magnets. As such they are critical components for all sorts of electrical devices.
