What are your thoughts on the US-China trade war?

I read an article on Donald Trump on where his critics are saying he is not reaching his end-goals on the trade war because he miscalculated how China can react.

The article then continues and proposed:- What if the trade war IS THE END GOAL.

Donald has no intention of ending the war. He already reached the end goal.

Politically, it is helping him a lot.

Economically, it is a short term pain for the USA economy, but even those suffering from it believe it is good in the long term to gain more concession from a "bully" that has stolen America's technology, ideas, and undercut workers.

Not taking a side here, but is in tune with what I think:-

Trade war gonna last for couple more years =)

I will continue buying in the stock markets. pick up cheap stuff, stay for the long term =)

It's a good opportunity to make $$ when giants fight. we just pick up the gold pieces they spill.
