#1 President Donald Trump, in a Fox News interview airing Sunday, raised the possibility of decoupling the U.S. economy from China, a major purchaser of U.S. goods.

I'm sure the EU would step in to fill the gap.

#2 The EU is unable to slump into any gap.

'Decouple' now and be done with them. Let the smarmy box stores find new, domestic, or friendly nation produced products.

Oh wait! Who'll buy our government bonds and debt? We can't stop now, they OWN US !

Built from US scrap iron in the 1930's. They had virtually no domestic iron ore. The cycle of greed continues, then conflict. Rinse, repeat.

#8 A decoupling at a time when China is facing severe food shortages would be a disaster for Beijing. In expectation that the USA is fed up, watch Chinese food purchases in the USA over the next six weeks or so. They should explode.

#10 If China really has been shipping BLM/Antifa weapons, along with providing training out of the Houston embassy. we can expect an explosion from their proxies immediately following any decoupling announcement. Unless what we are seeing now is that explosion in concert with Democratic Party proxies.
