Trump's escalating trade war with China will have far-reaching detrimental consequences for the United States that will drive a nail into the coffin of an already fragile economy.
China is a sole source for thousands of goods such as baby clothes, toys, and child car seats, just to name a few.
Within six months, we will feel economic pain. Costs will increase and supply will be curtailed.
Businesses -- especially small and medium businesses -- will begin to fail.
Unemployment will rise, as will inflation.
People most affected will forcefully express their displeasure about the situation, which will be negatively impacted by fallout from pharmaceutical shortages and vaccine skepticism harming public health.
People will start to blame their elected representatives who, acting from a callous Machiavellian instinct for self preservation, will start to push back.
There will be no safety net for anyone. Our future will be defined by survival of the fittest.
