Trump Started Trade War Because He Was Angry

What does the ready under your avatar mean then?

The heat I'm referring to generates sweat, not second degree burns.

To relieve your boredom check out The Expanse. I'm not here to entertain you.

No, you're here to throw heat at me, you make no secret of your intentions. Always have been. I rubbed you the wrong way from day one. Irritate you, quite unintentionally. Guess I'm just the sort of person you don't like.

A long time ago, there was a thing happening on Political Chat where you'd say if you wanted a custom tagline, someone would change it to 'ready,' and then you'd tell them what you wanted. I got as far as the ready part, and then decided ready was as cool as anything. Could be ready for whatever, doesn't have to be ready to fight in particular. Leave it to you to take it that way.

Global Markets Hit After China Devalues Yuan, Stops US Farm Imports

Hey Whell! Remember when your hero told you trade wars were “easy to win”, and you were stupid enough to believe him? You must really feel like an idiot right now.

"The plunge arrived after China struck back against President Trump’s threat to levy further tariffs on Chinese goods in the ever-growing trade war, rattling investors and bringing global markets to their knees.
By afternoon it was official: All three major U.S. stock indexes were having their worst day of 2019. Trillions in wealth was in the process of being erased." WP

Whatever. It would seem that you believe I've been out to get you from the start. Paranoids are the type of person I just don't like? Like how you used the us/them dynamic, but pitting me against billions is a bit much. Although bringing overwhelming force to a fight isn't necessarily a bad idea. Words that both literally and figuratively describe what's going on here (at AK and other like sites too) include debate, discuss, argue, fight and battle. I fondly remember my school days, including doing battle with other schools as a member of the Rushmore debate team.

This long time ago PC thing you're talking about must have happened in a galaxy far far away because I never made such a post, unless I was being facetious. A thread name and post # would be a nice memory jog. Regarding your readiness, do battle with is a subset of whatever.

[donquixote99]

I don't like what debate teams do. Pretty much like boxing. Words are just a substitute for fists. The only actual meaning is the score.

You misunderstand much. It may be that I am opaque, it may be that you find it helpful to not understand, or it may be something else. But I see little chance of meaningful dialog, and I don't want to box.

Wall Street Fears Trump May Be Too Dumb to End Trade War Before 2020
And in doing so, may trigger a recession.

He’ll blame the Fed, of course, or Obama. The Whells of the world will believe every lie.
