Do trade wars help the US increase exports, increase jobs, and lower prices?

What do you think and why?

Wow, this thread really puts the drive-by in the drive-by media. He jumps in, throws out an unsupported biased opinion, and then disappears, never looking back.

Did it make him feel good or something? Did he learn his lesson? Because it certainly has provided us with our daily dose of humor, as well as another good example of leftist child like behavior. I wld just hate to think he wasn't getting something out of this little exchange as well, just wasting his time.

Don't ever try to figure out liberal thinking. It is not healthy.

God, you're such a troll! You dig up old opinion pieces from two years ago that never came to fruition and cling to them like a stubborn turd on an old dogs ass.
Do you seriously think you're going to influence people that follow to politics like a teenager watches boobs?

QuoteHAMBURG (Reuters) - China may have to start buying U.S. soybeans again in coming weeks despite the trade war between the two countries as other regions cannot supply enough soybeans to meet China's needs, Hamburg-based oilseeds analysts Oil World said on Tuesday.

To infer Trump wants to start a trade war is just partisan crap. Of course he doesn't want a trade war. That would erase all the  gains the economy has made. he's playing the long game betting on those countries deciding to come to the table and negotiate.  It's a risky gamble and it is true Trump is trying to alleviate  a problem he has created but as I said he is betting on those countries involved will balk on a trade war.

What do you mean a problem Trump created? Trump is trying to fix the damage both party's have wrought upon the nation, so he didn't create it, the leftists did.

I was framing it as it is covered by the media.I meant the farmers are having some financial difficulties due to retaliation for his tariffs and he has eased their burden with some financial help. A bit of short term pain for long term prosperity of no or very low tariffs.

The way for us to win a trade war is to take the extra revenue generated by tariffs and use THAT to subsidize the industries targeted by the other countries. Since their tariffs are already high they really are in a bind. It is like a game of chicken between a VW and a semi and were driving the truck!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Trump is using Canada's subsidization of newsprint to place tariffs on newsprint exports, so that would be hypocritical.

That's the logical thing to do but we have to give free stuff to everyone.
