Talk about a low bar
Good market for my 401k
Prices come down.
Don't really care about China.
No wars.

Man, I'm happy (if the braves start hitting). I would add cut deficit, but trump is a spendaholic, too, so unfortunately that won't happen. What do you need from a politician to make your life happy?
 
To be fair, I have a pretty low bar for politicians. I'm blessed to be pretty insulated from most damage they can do apparently. I own my home and land and only have one payment (car). I travel twice ak

if it all goes back to how it was, then yeah, makes no sense. If counties lower their tariffs though, I guess you can say it worked. Several countries seem ready to lower/eliminate their tariffs on us
A big issue for Trump here is that we aren’t actually gaining a whole lot from what’s been “conceded” to us. Most of the countries agreeing to drop their tariffs have a low spend with our companies to begin with because the things we export don’t jive with their populations, and the things we don’t currently export aren’t things we will suddenly be exporting without tariffs because our labor prices are much higher than international competitors. If Thailand stops taxing their citizens on our exports, we don’t really gain anything. But we lose on all the additional costs involved with importing goods from Thailand that we can’t domestically produce affordably.
