That was before the US decided to shoot itself in the face with economic policy.

Yes, but this will likely hurt China as well. You can't assume only the US will be hurt by this.

I don't. I'm saying all prior bets are off, though I do think US is going to be in the center of the nexus of pain, even if China is also hurt.

Right now USA is alianating everyone.

I'm in germany and i'm pissed. I will not go on holiday in USA and thinking proactivly how to boycot USA.

And i'm not even a company. A company wants stability, predictability and not chaos every 4 years. And this president is in office for only a few month.

Whatever strategy companys currently try to do is either sitting it out or starting to adjust. The adjustments might not just go back when USA is more stable again.
