Much like with climate change, which also runs in cycles, we can do things that either help or hurt the situation. The trade war is one of those things that may exacerbate the situation and hasten the arrival of a recession and/or cause it to be a deeper recession.

As for the stock market itself, it a speculative indicator of the economy, but not the economy itself. Yeah, seeing some of the things going on can throw up warning flags for the economy, but it's not the be all end all.

Yep.

Which is why "taking credit" for it is silly.  

I agree with your take.
