Bring it (trade war).

Only a stupid person would engage in a trade war with the largest market in the world, and one with which they have a substantial trade surplus.

The US hold all the cards here.

Something sickeningly Keynesian about this. Propose a massive "Infrastructure" plan which will probably be filled with waste and graft and then need billions in steel to rebuilt roads, bridges, tunnels and airports. Just what we need, US steel manufacturers who have shown historically to be bloated and incompetent when it comes to running a tight ship and standing up to unions. Read the book "When the Wolf Finally Came". Chronicles the rise and fall of American steel.

Second move this week of reactionary polices by The President, first was his proclamation that he will basically be ok with no due process when it comes to mentally ill and guns.

Yup, the media melodrama is pathetic. The Japs have been dumping steel into the US since the late 70s. It’s time we leveled the playing field, which is what Trump is doing.
