Bolton's a warmonger. Trump was right to fire him. You're welcome to him.P.S. Zorro! , the Bolton article was in a separate link within the Yahoo article. For what it’s worth, here it is: US-China decoupling already under way, John Bolton saysPersonally I have no idea what Trump would try to do with U.S.-China trade and political relations if he is re-elected. His present “Biden Is in China’s pocket” sloganeering is just an opportunist election campaign ploy. Trump will not seriously challenge the developing bipartisan anti-China Wall Street consensus. Bolton is certainly a “New Cold War” ass, much like Pompeo, but he is now a working with the equally anti-China, anti-Trump Democrats. Trump is only an unstable and unprincipled demagogue. He actually admires Xi and Putin and is following an idiosyncratic and utterly unthought out policy. The U.S. trade deficit with China is parallel with our world deficits and flow essentially from similar causes.I haven't gotten the sense lately that Bolton is a fount of predictive value.Here is another more of less comprehensive take on this question, this time from Yahoo Finance, with some links, including one to an article about ex-aide John Bolton’s criticism of Trump for not taking a harder line on China. Bolton, always a hardliner, now a “Never Trumper,” predicts that — if elected — Trump will revert to taking a softer line on China.

Trump said that he would reduce the trade deficit with China, and he has. He has reversed 9 years of deterioration in our China Trade deficit in just the last two years.
