Scott Greerberg is kvetching because his 401k got destroyed. Sorry Greerstein but the real economy is on sports betting and selling slop products with a conservative twist on them. The stock market may be down but my patriot wet wipes are skyrocketing in sales. #KEYED

The WH’s messaging on this has been very scattershot - I suspect so as to avoid putting China into a situation where they’d have to either lose face or really go to the mattresses.

The essential fact is that the US now has history’s largest deficit while China has history’s largest surplus. Everything else is effectively immaterial. But in trying to avoid saying “we’re taking a stick to China”, the WH has let all manner of crazy theory and explanation proliferate, not least among quite a few online rightists who don’t really understand much about the economy.
