I dislike almost everything about Trump, but in this particular case his policy might be better than his predecessors. If the trade agreement results in low tariffs and a more level playing field for US companies who invest in China, maybe it will be worth the pain of a temporary trade war?

But this is affecting other countries too. China/US trade war have cost some Europeans their jobs. Next time they are out to buy a car, do you think they will choose American?

  The percentage of people losing their jobs due to China/US trade war is minuscule compared to the total European population and would have literally zero measurable impact on American car sales. It’s not like Europe all of sudden has 20% unemployment due to the trade war - the way you describe it and everyone becomes anti-American.
