    “The president's profound misunderstanding of what victory looks like is particularly visible in his multifront attack on trade and globalization. All in the name of putting America first, he withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, treated our trade partners like enemies, forced a renegotiation of NAFTA with no clear idea of whether the new deal (the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) could ever be ratified, implemented tariffs to fight imaginary national security menaces and started a trade war with China without any clearer strategy than his willingness to jack up tariffs at all costs.”

    The TPP would have shielded a lot of smaller countries from having China dictate the terms of their bilateral economic relationship. From a strategic big picture point of view pulling the rug out from under the TPP has been a great boon to China. And it has altered everyone's perception about the reliability of the United States as an interlocutor. The Chosen One simply lacks the chops needed to understand and analyze something like that.

    Peter Navarro was his trade advisor during the campaign. Navarro is crazy. As in crazy like Gorka. Perfect adviser for the Chosen One. Imagine a situation where a 2 year old gets to hire and fire his baby sitters. It is what it is.

    This is what is behind the "recovery" from the Obama years... and the massively inflated asset prices we have today. I am not sure what the way out of this is other than something very bad

    Well it worked. The recession was rather mild compared to predictions at the time and we are now in unparalleled economic territory. The sensible thing would be to pull back when the economy is strong but the new President wants to continue making short term moves to super charge an already good economy and that's what's going to lead to a big crash.

    Not like you would blame Trump if we had a recession anyways.

    Also very good housing starts numbers yesterday. It looks like housing is getting a boost from lower mortgage rates. Should offset some of the slowdown in investment and exports.

    Hold That Recession: U.S. Indicators Are Trouncing Forecasts



    Don't worry Runnin - That recession is right around the corner. Keep crossing those fingers.

    Meanwhile - China is continuing to falter. Who is winning the trade war again?
