8 July 2018 - brilliant trade war

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Trump’s trade war is, of course, politically brilliant. We expect no less of a president. Among voters, who is harmed? Those who voted for Trump. What are the effects? Increased inequality and unfairness; government policies will be seen as inadequate and ineffective. The upshot? The conditions that got Trump elected are amplified. The next election will be a landslide!
