What about a million percent tariffs? It will literally solve the deficit in one go.

Like Rome's Crassus etc-why would Trump care about hois own peasants-despite this week's theater -pump/dump outright stock mkt manipulation has made him and his cronies billions probably,and any/all anger of his masses will be directed at China for any blame-very dangerous times.You are not factoring Trump Thanos-snapping half of American businesses and consumers’ spending power out of existence.
Never India. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia perhaps.This will mean a flood of Made in India iPhones into the US.
I will leave the comments on this to everyone else.
Many know of the Middle East Crusades but few know of the Northern Crusades especially by the German Teutonic Knights-wholesale murder,robbery,rape,enslavement of these "pagan" populations by these "Godly"men-Russia has never forgotten-see the great film by Eisenstein "Alexander Nevsky and the %eutonic Knights" ,later Hitler had his SS etc ride east in basically a repeat.Xi must know this little trade/tariff spat is only a prelude to a greater conflict in all spheres-the west must destroy China before it can be overwhelming in all spheres(hope China is that now)and the westoids lose their place by simple self-attrition /decadence/stupidity.The way Germanics have historically dealt with great power competition where they are not supreme is to periodically launch large scale holy wars to conquer territory in the name of religion or ideology. If they win, they enact forced conversion, ethnic cleansing, and/or genocide on the new lands. If the lose, they “declare victory” & retreat back to their geographically well defended fortifications(mountains, islands, etc.) and fume until the next holy war.
Nobody near Europe historically had the ability to put an end to this pattern. The Muslim invasions of Europe all ultimately failed and the Mongols turned back when Genghis died. So they get to keep doing it until they succeed.
They already set the stage for American suicide, so why increase the cost of the rope to hang themselves .i wonder when China is going to response.
