Politico reports that Trump’s economic team is looking for an “escape hatch” to get out of their trade war with China because of the economic damage it has already done to the U.S. and the economic damage it is predicted to continue to do. Lawrence discusses that damage with Mark Zandi and Jonathan Alter.

Here is my question, what damage??? Nothing has shut down, China is suffering more than we are, and China in the past has tried to cripple some of our base industry like Aluminum and Steel smelters.

"We are both heading for the cliff, who jumps first, is the Chicken".
This is a game of chicken like in the movie Rebel Without a Cause. Hopefully China blinks first.

China doesn't really have a choice. There is nothing we buy from them that we can't either make here or source from other trading partners, Trump is just the first President to really play that card. We are still there #1 foreign customers and customers always have the advantage of being able to walk away. Nothing in this trading relationship has been good for the Middle Class and Working Class, unless cheaper stuff at Walmarts that you can't afford because decent jobs went to Chine chasing cheaper labor is supposed to be good for us.

CPT Lawrence Cable there are our allies in Asia who has plenty of expertise we can build Apple and Samsung products and they have large airfields nearby. There is a workaround. My friends working on one and going to be submitted to the US Embassy business section though I won't say which country.

LTC (Join to see) I know there are a number of countries lined up to replace the Chinese in the Market. It wouldn't take much to get it working here, quite a bit had came back or the foreign companies setting up here to avoid the tariffs. I am not a free trader, I am a fair trader, which requires you control your import market.
