It's not TDD, it's reality. Trump is reviled in the rest of the world. Read some of the world press - they don't like him at all and the people of those countries don't like him. They certainly don't want to take their marching orders from him. Open your eyes and see beyond your own partisan politics.
Just an FYI, but the populations of China and the EU combined is just shy of 2B people. Europe's population exceeds that of America by 200M people. Who do you really think needs whom the most in a trade war? Let's not forget South America and Africa and the rest of Asia. America is a paltry 300M people in a sea of billions. Yes, the EU, China, Canada and Mexico will feel the impact of a trade dispute, but America needs exports. So many of its large manufacturers are no longer on American soil. Something had to fill the gap when so much manufacturing moved offshore. How many smaller industries are now primarily manufacturing for export? The world is a different place than it was 50 years ago.

So your argument is Trump's tariffs caused soybean prices to start dropping in 2012. Yea, that makes sense. They are Chinese tariffs that went into effect Friday. The price of soybeans has been dropping since 212. You're trolling.
I am against all tariffs, US, and Canada. Unlike you who supports them unless you can associate them with Trump.
