They love what he's doing, every last bit of it, down to the last dime taken from Head Start and the funerals for children dead from measles.

Calling it Trump's Trade war would make them swoon in supplication to the festering orange prolapse.

A "trade war" implies some strategy.

"Trump's bear market" is already a reality.

"Trump's recession" will be soon.

"Trump's depression" is quite likely.

"Trump's assault on the world's economy" is accurate. Or "Trump grabbing world trade by the pussy".

If you want an American-specific term, "Trump's tax rise".
