17. What an idiot...

Remember when this yutz said “trade wars are easy to win.”

He’s saying this because he now knows there won’t be a trade deal. Not ever.

The damage is already permanent. From an the perspective of agriculture China will not resume buying from the US when this is all over. The reason that Brazil is burning the Amazon is because China’s market just opened for all the soybeans Brazil can grow.

His idiocy has not only severely damaged the US farm industry but is permanently damaging the world.

We may not be able to recover from this old man’s stupidity.
