I wonder how much of that rocket fuel was splashed on California.

Might be a silly question, but is there anything positive to Trump’s trade war with China? I don’t want to countenance the idea that Trump’s protectionism and phony concern over negative trade balances might actually be a net positive (as if we could measure such a thing); that it may be forcing China to... behave in a manner more in line with our interests?

I’m about to take a class on international trade and monetary theory. I wonder if I’ll be able to answer this question myself in 4 months. RemindMe!
