Nothing of the sort will happen. Like what the #### do you think will happen? China will place massive tariffs because Trump is an #######? LOL. Yeah way to shoot yourself in the head.

your right, China won't place massive tarrifs against the States, because there aren't many more that they can do. Trade with China is almost decidedly one sided and America has the big hammer in that the Chinese economy would crumble if countries like the States suddenly said, if you want trade lets trade, open your markets to American products fully and fairly or we'll work to reduce the deficit and protect American goods from Chinese goods.
As far as the whole Trump has nukes, people forget that while the President has firing authority, its a vote system in that his launch orders have to be confirmed by a person appointed through senate hearings, and the orders to launch has to be considered lawful and rational. The president can't just push a button and enter a code into a briefcase with a lap top in it.
