GOP still defending the indefensible.
"‘Accept the pain’: Lindsey Graham defends Trump’s escalating trade war with China"
"“Mr. President, listen, you’ve got more bullets than they do. They sell us a lot more stuff than we sell them,” he said “The goal is to get them to change their behavior.”"
"Such a change will only happen when the Chinese economy takes a blow from tariffs and other retaliatory measures, he argued."
"“The Chinese Communist Party runs everything in China, and until they feel the pain, they’re not going to stop,” he said. “They need to change their intellectual theft practice, they need to open up their markets to us, they need to become a reliable trading partner.”"
That's not what Trump is saying, though, is it? He isn't claiming to want political or business practices change.
It's a war without purpose or goals that hits the US, and ultimately the world economy.
