Trump is going to crash our economy just like he crashed every business he has been involved in. He’s a failed businessman with 6 bankruptcies. And his imbecile supporters are going to be hit the hardest.

Trump’s negotiating tactic as a businessman was to take it to the brink and hope that the other side crumbled.

He became richer doing this but also went bankrupt six times.

This is the tactic he’s using with China.

Uncle Sam is trying to pretend that China is the tail wagging the dog, when the reality is the opposite.
