I think the gyration in the Dow in recent days will rattle Trump to pull his fingers out and get some kind of trade deal agreed with China ASAP and to get the world economy moving again.
His base will suffer and rattle if he choose to prolong the trade war with China. His strategy to use China as a whipping boy to win his 2nd term is seriously in doubt.
In his golden days as a "successful" business man, with fistful of dollars and connections, he did wonder with all sort of deals - whether by bullying or astute business acumen, and scrxxing any women he desired over the years. But taming the giant dragon and as a world leader is different ball game.
