President Trump is facing a conundrum. He watches the stock market carefully. An easy way for him to prop up the stock market is to enter into a soft trade deal with China and declare victory.
However, that is clearly not in the long-term national interest. If Trump stays true to the long-term national interest and there is no deal with China soon, the stock market will go down and Trump may not even get re-elected.
If Trump strikes a soft deal and gives up on the long-term national interest, the stock market will go up and Trump may get re-elected. Herein lies the conundrum.
