Trump is trying to rectify the trade deficits we currently have. But other countries used their trade surplus to invest in US stocks, real estate , corporate bonds, US treasuries et cetra.

Now that cycle is being broken and other countries will be looking to invest any money they do have after this market carnage somewhere else. That leaves financing using American savings. How’s that going to work when most folks are struggling and the oligarchs are going to loose 20%+ of their working capital (if not their heads)

The stupid is strong in this country.
