    It almost feels like the Trump administration is trying to help Chinese companies at this point.

      So many things they’re doing feel like this. A few things I could see being a conscious and planned deal but most things completely go against any interest they have so it’s clear that it’s just an unbelievable level of incompetence, stupidity and ignorance.

        I have a hard time thinking it’s not deliberate. They’re trying to protect US car companies by putting tariffs on Chinese car imports, but what that’s doing is leading to complacency and a lack of competition. Ultimately harming the US and setting us back while allowing the wealthy shareholders to hoard wealth while not needing to worry about staying competitive.
