Do not despair, you must look at the big picture. China has amassed great wealth on the backs of every day Americans. We bought their slave produced products and they in turn built up their military. Now we are being challenged globally by their hegemony. Trump is trying to put a stop to this.
We will suffer in the short term but thrive in the long term. Our survival depends on it. With $36 large in debt there is no way out. If you think there is, keeping on kidding yourself. The days of the free lunch are over. We have drifted slowly into socialism since FDR’s New Deal which in itself was a Bad Deal. Then LBJ hit us hard with the Great Society, again this was better explained as the Not So Great Society. As we neandered along until Nixon and Kissinger mad a deal with the Devil. So, now we have to deal with it and Trump is doing just that.
