So is it a nothing burger or was Obama too soft on Putin? Can’t be both

It's a nothing burger As Far As Trump "Collusion"- which happens to be the alleged thrust of the investigation and has shown nothing- as in "nothing burger".
If Obummer really thought something was being done by Russia, where was his action after a "stern warning"? Even then there was no evidence of any "collusion". It's crap.

Maybe not, but shouldn't it have been anticipated by someone (like Trump) who is supposedly well known for his ability to run a company and using every trick in the book to maximize profit? Or was this the Trump who had to file bankruptcy multiple times?

Trump is f***ing clueless when it comes to economic policy (among other things). This trade business truly threatens to undo any juice for the economy that his tax cuts might have created. The sad thing, of course, is that this damage is entirely self-inflicted. Notice that POTUS isn't talking about stocks any more even though what is happening now is much more related to his policies than what transpired in the markets last year.

Now begins the test of just how much people believe in "fair trade". This is going to start happening more and more, but if you are a true believer this is just a necessary sacrifice. DJT better hope this works by 2020.

You are absolutely spot on with that observation.

Please define "fair trade". All trade creates winners and losers. So do all trade restrictions. It's just that trade itself is a positive sum game, i.e. the winners gain more than the losers lose.
