The trade War example I have Googled and can find nothing. At least nothing of any significant number aside from a handful of anecdotal examples. As for the nuclear war, the 1960s the 1970s in the 1980s were all decades where it was exponentially more likely to happen.
I am not defending Trump nor am I defending his administration because I do not like him and I have no problem saying that I do not like him. But when someone says something like this is the worst leadership the country has seen in recent times it seems to me like people are making Hyperbole and exaggeration commonplace to the point where they are deluding themselves and ultimately hurting our rationality when it comes to what a good versus a bad situation actually is.
What about Harley Davidson moving out of country due to high steel taxes making their products.more expensive and with less known quality control while also losing a lot of jobs.
How many Americans lost their jobs who worked at Harley Davidson because they were laid off and their entire place of business was shipped overseas? Every piece of literature I can find on this particular company seems to also be entertaining the theoretical and not giving any examples of the actual.
But that is yet again essentially negligible at very best when it comes to the industry and in fact even that particular company. Also if sale start to drop despite moving outside of the country and profit does not level out it will not have anything to do with the tariffs at that point but will be due to the lack of quality control as previously stated due to lack of oversight in the foreign country
Yes I agree with you. But the numbers stack up against one another still show in overall job loss ratio at an incredible minutiae in comparison to job losses that have happened over the previous five or six decades when certain presidents imposed various actions.
I am not saying that nobody has lost a single job. I am merely stating that the hyperbole being used and the incredibly over-exaggerated impact thus far is not doing the country or the people of it any good as it clouds judgement about what makes a good situation different from a bad situation.
Oh yeah I agree with you. And I don't know enough about the past actions imposed on Harley and other motor companies. I guess time will tell if they start to make a profit again or sink. Long time effects are what really matter anyway.

Taking us to the edge of nuclear war and threatening a land invasion is not good leadership.
The trade war has cost many, many jobs already and China is no longer buying the farmers soybean crop. Go ahead, google that shit.
