he's only pushing off this resolution until after the election because he's assuming (or trying to project the idea that he's assuming) that he will win a second termEvery president inherits problems, and the trade war is basically a non-problem anyways. The easy button fix for Dems is simply to end all tariffs that Trump started, though that has obvious PR consequences regarding now-purple MI/WI/PA. Maybe they can end one or two specific tariffs, call those the worst ones, convince Xi to end one or two minor tariffs just for show, and claim they've mutually fixed things and the world is saved. 2020 is basically a red carpet for Dems right now. If the recession hits before the election, and indicators suggest it will iirc, and if it's a deep enough recession, then they could even reach 55+ senators like they did in 2008.
my point here was that
pushing this off is horribly irresponsible if he doesn't win a second term
regardless of what his replacement will or won't do about said problem
trump should be making at least a half-assed-attempt at resolving this before the election
