You're simply wrong. The US's economy was doing _great_ under the previous administration, and even top Democrats agreed that it was right to put strong pressure on China re: trade.

- dfxm12 5y agoGreat for whom? Wall St. or the common American? Like I said, their interests don't necessarily align. Sure, maybe stocks were up (usually, not when Trump was threatening to shut down the government if he didn't get his wall, though), but that didn't trickle down to everyone and is far from a total picture of the economy. Also, your article doesn't support your claim. Schumer was praising Trump for being tough on China for the sake of being tough on China, not for managing supply chains well.
