If we start a trade war we may yet see the Great Depression. that's exactly what made the depression so great, financial crisis, followed by a trade war, then failed government stimulus programs until WWII which justified massive debt spending...except back then our credit was in much better shape.

That's an interesting (and sadly, not fact-based) analysis of the Great Depression.
