    Yes and this might hurt China a bit, but it’ll hurt USA even more. It’s like shitting your own pants to make someone else smell it.

        Yup, it does sound like him. But I genuinely believe that his goal is manufactories beelining to USA, and that doesn’t seem too likely for me.

        I’ll go further. My headcanon is that Trump didn’t come up with this idea; someone else did, and carefully led Trump to it. That person knows that the manufactories won’t go to USA, but they don’t really care - they benefit from USA being economical and politically isolated, perhaps even at its population having decreased living standards.

        EDIT: or, summed up in a single picture.
