Isn’t it awesome seeing how Trump reacts to China? Isn’t the power dynamic so obvious?

[WhiteBoyChill]

Acting totally unafraid.

Laughing it off and saying they “played wrong”. The element of uncertainty and just being completely self assured.

I’m sure China was expecting the US to just cave and roll over but they’re probably just freaking out right now.

All Trump has to do is just idly sit back sipping cocktails a few days and not even pay attention to them (get in their heads) and then at the last minute threaten them with 250% tariffs the day before unless they drop theirs.

The situation almost reminds me of that desperate kid in school that wants attention and everybody to think they’re important, but in reality is just deeply insecure and envious but tries to act tough.

And then they squeal and scream and beg for mercy at the last minute the second you twist their arm.

China gave drones to Russia, Iran gave missiles to Russia, North Korea supplied extra troops to Russia. China made an alliance pact with Russia also North Korea so I wouldn’t trust any connection to this Communist Regime Iron Curtain cladded deal unless that someone stood firmly against invasion of any European territory, anything less is appeasement.

We all know where appeasement got us last time. That is why the world stands against appeasement. And that was so brave of Trump to make the economy dive for the second worst time in the last 5 years, the first being 2020 which doesn’t take a genius to know who was in office then.

[MisterWack]

I also will never forget Trump praising Xi on Twitter during the Pandemic, especially what he thought of the Camps holding the Uyghurs.

[WhiteBoyChill]

You’re making shit up. Find me the quote of him “praising” genocide

[Dargil]

The only that is going to matter is the mid term elections. there are going to be ups and downs. but the voters will tell us whether President Trump has done what he promised. My bet is that he will succeed. and that JD Vance would become President in 2028. And I don't care if you disagree, because I am right. not quite far right, but close.

It's funny to see China struggling for one time America should give them even bigger taxe XD

[WhiteBoyChill]

Honestly, it’d be awesome to see if the EU joined us and tariffed them too

[alice55]

Yes that would be fun they deserve it 😹😹

[noohair]

This whole Tariff thing is actually aimed at China. China has very serious inter economic problems that could cause severe internal chaos. The CCP is dancing on the edge of a very sharp sword.

[WhiteBoyChill]

And here we are 4 days later and every country got a tariff pause but China! Lol

They responded and now they’re stuck with the damage

[Pterodon]

China cannot afford the tariffs like we can. They’ll fold

[WhiteBoyChill]

Its funny seeing them trying to act tough like that kid in school that you know is actually scared and deeply insecure on the inside

[Pterodon]

I agree

[Pohjolan]

China has begun seeking exports/imports elsewhere from other countries affected by Trump's tariffs.
They are not idiots you know.

[WhiteBoyChill]

@Pohjolan that’ll only do them so good. They can’t make up their losses overnight

[Pohjolan]

@WhiteBoyChill
The Chinese are not quarter capitalists.
Also you forgot to place tariffs on Russia.
They might now have a economic miracle on paper while shipping the stuff through China from some weird reason.

[WhiteBoyChill]

@Pohjolan tariffs on Russia? We exchange less than 1.5 billion worth of goods with them in the first place cuz of the sanctions

[exitseven]

So president Xi imposed a 34% tariff on American goods on top of the 67% tariff they already have. We will see how that works for them since China does not buy anything from the US anyway.

[BonzoInBitburg]

China was 3rd behind Canada and Mexico for US exports.

[DrPepper12]

Those pesky facts again!!

[exitseven]

@BonzoInBitburg the US imports a lot more from China than they export. it will hurt China l lot more.

[WhiteBoyChill]

@exitseven Exactly

[Travvvvv]

Not saying you're right or wrong. I'm republican. But wtf does it really matter? They're grimy and waste of our attention time when it's needed otherwise

[DrPepper12]

Wipe your mouth fluffer...

[In_Trance]

You describe this like you're watching SmackDown

Wait a minute...

[BonzoInBitburg]

I think China was pretty pleased with themselves after their tariff announcement right before the markets opened sent the Dow down another 2k.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Why do you attach so much importance to the stock market? You do realize they’re reactive, not predictive?

[BonzoInBitburg]

A 20% drop from the markets peak generally leads to a recession. Other indicators of a coming recession are a drop in GDP, high inflation with low interest rates. I guess it's better to be broke than woke.

Google Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and educate yourself on what's coming

[WhiteBoyChill]

Lol. You’re the guy that thinks a single day is predictive for an entire year 😂😂😂

[BonzoInBitburg]

I'm the guy who sold off last month like Buffett. I manage a fund. The economy is easy to predict

[WhiteBoyChill]

Yet you seem to have no basic understanding of economics. Its interesting really

[BonzoInBitburg]

You must be a Democrat trying to act dumb to discredit Trump supporters.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Again with the false assumptions. Lol

[SmokinAces2000]

Get off your knees.
