(Jan. 13) U.S. President Donald Trump famously tweeted that trade wars are good, and easy to win in 2018 as he began to impose tariffs on about $360 billion of imports from China. Turns out he was wrong on both counts.

Once China got the virus under control, demand for medical equipment and work-from-home gear expanded its trade surplus with the U.S. despite the levies. --- [Feminist][CisGender][Straight Supporter][Non-Binary] I'm not Ashamed to Dress 'like a Woman' because I don't think it's Shameful to be a Woman. ~Iggy Pop~ ...
