So he didn't declare a trade war with China. That's what I said.
-
He did by imposing tax on imports from China.

Cool! So every time Canaduh has imposed a tax on imports over the years it was declaring a trade war? Sweet! Or does it only count when Trump does it?

I don't say Canada is better, we have our wrongs. And it is not because Canada is doing it that Trump is right to do it too. But would you care finding what tax Canada is imposing on US imports?

Your first point "First he declares trade war on China" is not true, and so the rest is bollocks.
[Trump: Trade wars are good - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkIkCqhvsu4) What is this then? A joke? Like the rest of his tenure? You see the idiot was a minor real estate developer. As such he had some success bullying investors, tenants, subcontractors in order to gain some advantages. When you try the same tactics on a scale as EU, China, Canada, those local tycoon bully tactics don't work. He always opens with some outrageous threats and then scales back when the other parties push back. This is why none of his initiatives have worked so far. BUT the bad blood he raised remains. This America doesn't have any allies anymore.
throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.

Nor will they be required to participate. Good grief!

Didn't know I was required to. But here you go: Canada - Import Tariffs | export.gov[^] I get it. You hate Trump and wish to insult him and his policies at every chance. It just gets REALLY old when he does something that EVERY SINGLE OTHER COUNTRY does from time to time and you folks act as if it's something new and terrible. :~

It will hurt everybody. Economists here say that Canada will take collateral damage from this trade war.

Oh please. I don't hate him, I think he is an idiot and a liar and thinks he will get his way by bullying. That may work in the business world, but that is not how you run a country. Remember when he was bragging about the stock market going up (a trend started under Obama)? Now with announcements of ridiculous import taxes, Dow Jones is going down. Did he take responsibility? No, because he is a coward.

Far as I can recall every President and even some congress people claim that they are responsible for the stock market and/or economy going up. Can't recall a single one claiming responsibility for it going down.

Certainly true. But in this case, Trump is actually the one to blame for the stock market dip.
