Non starter. China and EU will retaliate.

Very simple, everything that came from America will be slapped by an equivalent tax

China imposed tax on imports , but the same tax also applies to domestic producers

That kind of tax, nobody complains

Trump already scrapped TPP. After that TTIP. And then renegotiate Nafta.

He is very inward looking.

Maybe he will change course and be more practical?

Maybe he will just forget all his election promises?

And get voted out after 4 years?

Since he intends to lead 2 terms or 8 years he has to fulfill his election promises to those White Working Class.

Now Trump sure got to choose:

1) Choose protectionism at the expense of free trade? Or fair trade as he called it.

2) Or just forgo his election promise and let things be as usual? Then get booted out 4 years later?

Which is which? Will there be a middle path?

Hmmm?

Let's wait and SEE.

Meanwhile this is clear!

GE14 is On!

And Calvin & Johor Buddies are bullish on DRB-Hicom!

I inward looking also. I want to get a house without paying for it. Can you get me one , Mr Agent ?

It not what Trump wants, it is what he can do. He can cancel TPP but he can't bully China and EU without repercussion

Icon, you are right on the nail. Let XQP nails him down, then he will be more civilised

When it comes to geopolitics, no one, I mean, no one beats Donald Trump! This dude is the sharpest mind! In fact Obama was a dummy when it comes to geopolitics! So is Hillary! So it's kind of a blessing for US to finally have a real commander in chief!
Take Syria for example, Donald was the only potential president who correctly pointed out the obvious, that Obama together with Arabs funded the rebels spending billions down the drain! And they don't know who the rebels were! And in turn became ISIS that we knew today! What a dummy!
And Obama made Iran super rich, unleashing another maniac nuclear wannabee! Only Donald voiced out the obvious!
Anyway, it's going to be very interest time for geopolitics once Donald assume power! And first on that deck of card is China! Yup, those Ccp officials have grown too arrongant! And China tested Donald Trump by stealing research underwater drone in disputed South China Sea! Boy, Donald already gave his warning, you guys can keep that drone! And I am sure Donald is going to keep China official at the edge of their seat!
