You've got it backwards. The crazy motherfucker gets the concessions.
No he doesn't 1) China with the balance of trade surplus have the whip hand. The US need the goods, while there are plenty other countries which China will sell them to. 2) Look where the tarriffs are hitting the US, all items China can source elsewhere but all goods essential to the Midwest economies.
