The Next Cold War?

"Anything you can do I can do better, I can do anyhting better than you", a popular childrens song taken too literally by the sitting president. Earlier today, President Trump instructed the U.S. Trade Representative to consider slapping $100 billion dollars in tariffs on Chinese goods in response to an earlier statement from China outlining a plan to apply a tariff to $50 billion in U.S. goods.

U.S. Senator Ben Sasse was quoted as saying "“Hopefully the President is just blowing off steam again but, if he’s even half-serious, this is nuts,”. Something to think about..
