“Let me tell you， if I wanted to do nothing with China， my stockmarket， our stock market， would be 10，000 points higher than it isright now，” Trump told reporters at the White House。
“Let me tell you， if I wanted to do nothing with China， my stockmarket， our stock market， would be 10，000 points higher than it isright now，” Trump told reporters at the White House。 “But somebodyhad to do this。 To me， this is much more important than the economy…”

这不，在川普所谓的打贸易战比关注现下经济更重要的“坚持”下，美国的经济“求仁得仁”地放缓了……
美国知名科技财经媒体Business Insider直言，这恐将美国推向衰退：
Going beyond the equity market， the trade war has also weighed onthe global economy， spurring a slowdown that‘s threatened to pushthe US into recession。
不止股市，贸易战也给全球经济带来压力，并引发经济放缓，这恐将美国推向衰退。

《华盛顿邮报》也不客气地指出了一项“扎心”数据：
The latest came Tuesday with a report that U.S。 manufacturingcontracted last month for the first time in three years。
本周二公布的最新数据显示，美国制造业上个月出现了三年来的首次萎缩。

也难怪，在《华盛顿邮报》“川普承认，他的贸易战伤害了股市”（Trump admits his trade war ishurting the stock market）一文里，作者无不嘲讽地说：
After touting the benefits of his trade war for months， Trump hasmade three key concessions in the past few weeks on matters he hadearlier denied or deflected： American companies pay the tariffs onthe goods they import； those costs can be passed on to consumers；and those increased costs can lead to an economic slowdown。

而对于川普总算承认发动贸易战伤害了美国股市，美网友们也是各种感慨：你终于真相了啊
FACT： （Wow！！！ Trump told the TRUTH！）
Just stretched it a little 。。。 Trump meant to say Dow would be10，000 points higher without HIS 。。。 Trade War（s）！
事实：（哇！！！川普真相了！）
来我们延伸一下……川普的意思是说，道指会高10000点――如果没有他！搞！的！贸易战！
I‘ve been looking for an estimate of how much Trump’s stupidtrade policies are dragging down the stock market。 Who knew thatTrump himself would provide the figure--10，000 points on theDow。关于川普的傻X贸易政策会有多拖累股市，我一直在找相关的预估。哪知道他自个儿就直接给出数字了――他拖累了道指10000点！
So， he admits that the trade war has harmed the stock market，which according to him， is the measure of a healthy economy。 Somuch for his claim the trade war has yet to harm Americans。 And，no， I don‘t take his claim of 10，000 pts。seriously。所以，川普承认贸易战损害了股市。而他自己说过，股市是衡量经济健康与否的指标。尽管他号称贸易战还没有伤害到美国人，但事实就是伤害了。不过，10000点什么，我是不太相信的。
