That and China knows the rest of the world no longer trusts the US and so this is a long term play for trade dominance by China.So while China's budget is only 2/3'rds of US, China has the advantage of being a regime. No one is going to topple Xi, meanwhile a week into Tariff la-la land and the rank and file of Trumtards were about ready to set his hair on fire.
Xi just has to wait it out, Trump will strangle himself.
I mean even if it WAS the plan to go round the table you'd still pick em one at a time.That and China knows the rest of the world no longer trusts the US and so this is a long term play for trade dominance by China.
Trump is just so fucking stupid it hurts. Even if a trade war was a good idea (and it's ABSOLUTELY NOT) a smart person would pick one or two countries to go after, they would not declare war on the entire world.
Exactly, and this is common sense.I mean even if it WAS the plan to go round the table you'd still pick em one at a time.
This is death by a thousand self-inflicted wounds.
All the traders and trade shows I listen to in Europe is the same, US(well Trump) cant be trusted and no one is going to move manufacturing there, cause shit may change again tomorrow or six months from now. It's just a toxic environment for investment money.
America deserves to lose it's hegemony now, and it should. This is the way. Vote evil in, and then lose. That's the way it should be
If China were the target, you really should have EU, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea etc. working together with a common strategy.I mean even if it WAS the plan to go round the table you'd still pick em one at a time.

Of course he can. Just needs to call in a seal team.Law suits can be filed. The judiciary can stand up to him. He can't fire SC justices.
I don't think he'll play that card.Of course he can. Just needs to call in a seal team.
This post reminded me of Racoon City and Umbrella. For starters.Trump's Tariffs Aren't Economics. They're a Cultural Purge | Washington Monthly
Trump's blunderbuss tariff policies are a declaration of war on the half of America that didn’t vote for him.washingtonmonthly.com
Tossing this here
Reindustrialization is not the goal.
Goal is to shift population away from traditional population centers to red states.
Reintroduction of factory towns in abandoned flyover states is the sales pitch and is more about a very specific goal of setting up "economic zones" run by private entities instead of public where laws and government are run by a very specific class of citizen.
State level laws crafted around far right circle perks working together with corporate towns to create low level jobs where wages are just enough to promote starting families.
Create education institutions specializing skills required to fill out the workforce and align with religious dogma of the red state government.
They want to recreate the 1970s so that they can enjoy old school country music while ruling over a poorly educated, yet highly skilled work force who are easily manipulated.
Can we stop saying that every horrible thing is some sort of distraction?
Trump is not destroying the world economy to distract you from something else. He’s just insane and dumb and doesn’t know any better.

We are in flop-flip city.Phones and computers. Electronics.
"Electronics imported to the United States will be exempt from President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, according to a US Customs and Border Protection notice posted on Friday." CNN
Here is the U.S. Customs and Borders notice defining the exemptions but I'm not going to look up all those numbers.
