Wilbur Rosss Animate Remains Are Surprised That Wall Street Is Worried About Trade War

Dealbreaker
April 4, 2018

..See for one thing, this isn’t a trade war. And the reason it’s not is because this war was already fought years ago by “foolish and incompetent” people, who lost it for America...That’s more than a little confusing because after all, it was just last month when Trump assured America that “trade wars are good and easy to win.”...And further, if we lost a previous trade war with China and we’re now embroiled in something that’s not a “war” but is definitely a skirmish, does that mean we’re fighting an insurgency? Are we insurgents? Who knows. Certainly not Donald Trump.

Another person who doesn’t know (anything) is Wilbur Ross or, more accurately, the animate remains of Wilbur Ross which were again wheeled out his crypt and put in front of a camera on Wednesday morning in light of China’s retaliatory tariffs announced overnight.

...Wilbur had a rather uncomfortable analogy for you on Wednesday. Here’s what he says in that “Even shooting wars end with negotiation.” Right. But again, Wilbur seems to be missing the point. It’s not about proportionality or whether everyone eventually decides to stop killing each other (figuratively or literally), it’s about the body count that accumulates in the meantime. That’s what people are worried about here. But Wilbur isn’t worried. And he’s “frankly, surprised” that you’re worried.

This is a very funny post with lots of well deserved snark for Cheeto and the remains of Ross!
