Original Note:
The tariffs Trump implemented on China damaged the US job market and economy. "The long-term decline in U.S. consumer well-being (or “welfare”) of 7.8%." Retaliatory tariffs were implemented & for example farmers had to be saved with "socialist" aid to keep them afloat. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2021/05/20/trumps-tariffs-were-much-more-damaging-than-thought/?sh=171f9eed65bd https://carnegieendowment.org/chinafinancialmarkets/83746 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/14/donald-trump-coronavirus-farmer-bailouts-359932 https://www.brookings.edu/articles/did-trumps-tariffs-benefit-american-workers-and-national-security/
