The Americans are panicking over China, they have no idea what to do and are just making knee-jerk responses pretending they are doing something and looking 'tough' in the eyes of Americans. Yet what exactly can they do to a country that has 3 trillion US dollars in 'spare change' of your currency and holds US$759 billion in your treasury bills?
The fact is, just like the financial meltdown a while back, China will just use this opportunity to buy up even MORE of American manufacturing, invest in building more US manufacturing plants (using American slave labor wage workers) and soon the US will be nothing more than a branch plant country for Chinese corporations, all profits returning back to China.
🤔 it's almost like tarrifs were a bad idea.

And now:
Trump clarifies some of the tariffs were actually 245% for some unknown reason
Nobody knows what's going on.
Least of all Trump
Small brain think smart. Fat man think tough. Ignorance knows no bounds when others pay the price of bad decisions.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Trump never dropped tariffs on China, did he?
No they didn't. This is in reference to the announced exceptions for electronics like phones, which is a pretty big category. That's effectively dropping tariffs on a big chunk. That announcement was then unannounced by trump but who knows. The general perception is that trump wants tariffs but will fold when the economy catches fire and wants China to make a big deal with him so he can claim victory.
Depends on what you mean by drop. Is rolling back dropping? Is making exemptions dropping? Because both of those things have been done lol
I don't think for China specifically, though?
What a fucked up world where we are cheering on China. Fucking trump.
Predictable dictator is better than batshit crazy dictator.
And what, exactly, is wrong with cheering for China? They have never invaded a foreign sovereign nation in their entire 400 year history. They have been invaded by a lot of other countries, however.
Red > orange
What moral high ground you think you had before?

Big flex from China. I'm waiting for a country to call trump's bluff by putting an export tax on their own goods sent to the USA.

Everyone is somehow missing China cutting off rare earth metals the US relies on for technology and defense
It wasn't just stopping exports to the US, they've stopped exporting rare earth elements worldwide starting yesterday. Plus, they are starting to unload billion of debt we owe them. It's almost as if Trump is intentionally trying to destroy our country in the morning, and then later in the day he wants to be the bully negotiator without understanding his precarious position.

I think Xi might have figured out Trump’s secret. He has no fucking clue what he’s doing. He scares people into reacting by being reckless, then claims a win for getting a reaction.
Ignoring trolls takes their power away.
