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.

Everyone is somehow missing China cutting off rare earth metals the US relies on for technology and defense

[–] DoubleSpace@lemm.ee 160 points 1 week ago (54 children)

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.
