This applies to trade in all directions. Funny how the US has been advocating for trade while it was "winning" (read, giving worthless papers for real goods).

This applies to trade in all directions. Funny how the US has been advocating for trade while it was "winning" (read, giving worthless papers for real goods). Since now we are hitting a wall (competing economies asserting themselves, and willing to be freed from the dollar), and since the US prsident seems to disregard, or not aware, of the massive advantage that the dollar means for the US economy, a trade war has been started. This war will either be won by the US on the short term, or the dollar will be dismissed as international currency.
