China is going to win the trade war. Trump has already lost, and so has the American people.

What Trump forgets (or maybe never knew - cause he is a simpleton) is that the Chinese have a very different system of governance. If the Chinese people hurt because of a trade war, no-one is the Chinese elite will give a shit. Neither will the American elite when blue collar workers hurt. The big difference of course is that pesky thing called elections. China just a generation ago was as poor as a church mouse. Hundreds of millions lived in abject poverty, those same hundreds of millions have now moved up the economic scale to poverty. If they move back to abject poverty? *shrug*. In America however 'it is all about the economy stupid' and he really is fucking stupid. Economic illiterate. Governing by tweet.

Just waiting for Putin to side with China and really send him over the edge
