Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Trump "absolutely" still believes trade wars are easy to win

[RandySF]

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday that the president doesn't want to enter a trade war with China, but if he does, he'll win.

Key quote: President Trump "absolutely" still believes trade wars are easy to win. "If he is in charge of those negotiations then absolutely. He's the best negotiator at the table."

Tariffs effect on the markets: Sanders said the president understands that the tariffs could cause "some fluctuation" in the stock market, but he thinks "enough is enough" ... "Frankly we shouldn't be in this situation, the previous administration should have stepped up and dealt with this."

The best fun, we have all the best fun trade wars. Just look at the stock market response. So much fun.

3. So the real reason our markets are falling apart is Obama.

IQ45 never takes personal responsibility for anything he does which has negative results on other people.

Anything good, however, even when he had nothing to do with it -- like the airlines' excellent safety record -- he jumps on with both feet: "Look at what I did!"

4. Hummmm . . .

Didn't Hoover have that same belief?? Trade Wars good. Oops, the Great Depression.

And please, could someone shut up Kudlow, the current Apologist-in-Chief? The idea we'll have to listen to this man on a regular basis--defending the indefensible--is already giving me a migraine.

5. Trumponomics. Markets love instability. Instability is good for the economy.

No doubt some individuals, and individual countries, will come out ahead. Those that have the means to ride out the instability will be just fine, everyone else does not matter.
