When you use the harshest economic power of the US, for goals that are not really economic in nature and/or a major threat to the country, you diminish those of our partners in the world in working with us in certain domains. It's a matter of TRUST.
Don't forget we just worked out a NEW nafta deal and it says we didn't like the first deal we signed and throw that out and he worked a new deal and before it even passes, he wants to put tariffs on going against his proposed deal.
What does that really say about deals we sign ? Then, the same in Iran... go figure.
Should I be invested in a deal he makes for China, NK ?
Everyone wants and needs stability in markets. Job security goes with that.
The next POTUS will have a hard time convincing some it will not happen again.
There is a price to be paid for that.

He's trying to do things other Presidents have ignored.
Penalising Mexico with a tariff if they don't stop illegal immigrants from crossing their country to get to America is a good idea.
Telling China to buy more from America, stop the unfair trade actions or get massive tariffs is another way to sell more American goods, create more jobs, help with the debt America faces, etc.
Talking to NK is better than doing fuck all, which was the action of previous Presidents.
We all know he's not the greatest at the job and some of his measures are pure insanity. But others have done little but looked good.
