They have to balance out their trade, number one. We have deficits with almost every country — not every country, but almost — and we’re going to change it.

It would be nice to serve the nice, easy term, but we have an opportunity to change the fabric of our country.

Whether or not the menu of tariffs causes a recession remains in question, but it will slow down growth.

The economy is facing considerable turbulence (including geopolitics), with the potential positives of tax reform and deregulation and the potential negatives of tariffs and ‘trade wars,’ ongoing sticky inflation, high fiscal deficits and…

Markets still seem to be pricing assets with the assumption that we will continue to have a fairly soft landing.

China is the biggest abuser of them all.
