He doesn't understand much of anything. He miscalculates everything, such as tariffs.

into a world war.

One that we may not win.

China has the biggest industry on this planet, biggest military and could mass tens of millions of troops. With their industry they could mass a navy of many thousands of ships to transport those troops to our shores.

They're very close to being our pair as a super power. Russia and Iran and probably literally half of the world at the end of the day will be fighting along side of them.

Trump should just beg for peace and bring the troops home.
