Ron Paul on China trade war, 'meaningless words'

Former presidential candidate and US Representative Dr. Ron Paul (R-Texas), founder and chairman of the Ron Paul Institute for Freedom and Prosperity, weighs in on the escalating retaliation of the US-China trade amid a plunging Dow and what Dr. Paul calls "an unworkable situation."
