LOL! Your rear view mirror is working great. King isn't the first to state that something had to be done about trade situation with China.
The problem is, Trump is too stupid to know how to handle Xi Jinping and his trade war is FAILING.
So cherry pick your headlines and taglines all you want, you're outta' touch.
China Finds It Can Live Without the U.S.
Hawks in Washington speak of ‘decoupling.’ Xi Jinping is already busy doing that—his way.
"""...Through a series of vacillating threats and entreaties that often seem to be decided on a whim, he has shown President Xi Jinping that he is an unreliable negotiator. Mr. Trump’s public bullying makes it hard for Mr. Xi to accept any deal while saving face, which is very important to the Chinese. Thus Mr. Xi is no longer earnestly negotiating, merely going through the motions."""

Works for me. Let them live without US or our money.
