But one of the biggest differences between now and then is that the current sell-off now is entirely due to the trade war started intentionally by the Trump White House.

Is this true? I feel like attributing it only to Trump is a cop out for an increasingly unstable economy

I think so as well, the trade war acted as a catalyst but there were already underlying economic problems present before that.
