It hurts itself in its confusion! It’s super effective!
Exactly! Better title should be “Trump Threatens 104% GST tax increase on American buying imports from China as the Snowflake Woke King Plays Chicken with Americans.”
Nero watching it burn
Do it! just do it! and you will see how China will block all minerals to US this time! He has nothing on the table, thats why he is playing tariffs and its only card IMO.
I bet Trump didn’t have many playmates as a child.
My understanding is that Trump has no fucks to give, is reveling in the chaos, and that nothing short of dethronement will stop him. So ya’know, we’re fucked.
It is just a way to rise taxes without explicitly rise taxes. And a dump n pump scheme, like crash the market, buy some cheap bags, after buying announce that some countries behave, stocks rebound, profit
He’s 80 years old. He has no horse in the race anyway. His legacy is going to be a urine-soaked grave they’ll eventually have to relocate to an undisclosed location where people can’t piss on it.
His dad lived into his 90’s. I don’t think his dad snorted enough blow though to break his anus.
Due to flooding
In a few years time America has the chance to put Ding Dong the Witch is Dead back on the charts
Hopefully people can still burn down mar a lago
Liz Truss did less damage than this and we had her in the stocks in Trafalgar Square in under a week.
Don’t hold out any hope that magats will wake up, they’ve already been programmed to rationalize it and are suckling boots like good little followers
At this point I’d just call him PINO.
I fucking hate magats so fucking much
Can’t wait for the next year when he screams in the corner about other countries being mean to the US, so he is forced to do military incursion into the Greenland.
Fuck everyone who voted for this, btw. But also fuck every single motherfucker who enabled this orange bafoon long before he got there.
Bloody snowflake Trump, always whining about other small countries bullying US, someone need to slap the wokism out of him.
Is a bafoon a cross between a baboon and a buffoon?
Fuck his grandparents for being fertile.
scheiß auf deine Eltern, weil sie nicht abtreiben
Just think if his mom would have just swallowed that night how many lives might have been saved.
So I guess it’s another precipitous drop on the stock market when it opens again.
He’s finally figured out a number bigger than 100!
Bit idea: we teach Trump about Graham’s Number so he creates tariffs with rates higher than the amount of atoms in the universe.
No. He said “50% more !”
China and the USA ruining each other. I’m going to need more popcorn.
Chine will be fine
China is geting economically hit in the short term, but the amount of soft power they were gifted by this administation is something they have dreamed for decades upon decades.
And it’s knly getting hit in regards to US trade. They also trade a lot with other nations, Europeans also know their way to buying all the Teemu, Shein and Ali express slop.
At some point tarrifs won’t matter anymore because at that tarrif height the goods could just as well not be available at all.
you fool, you missed a tarrif
Yep, we are watching the active teardown of the global trade infrastructure that has been built over the past 5 decades.
That international trade has been the single largest deterrent to international warfare. Neighbors who actively trade are far less likely to go to war with each other. Powerful nations have an interest in exploiting less powerful nations economically rather than conquer them militarily - it’s cheaper, and you can extract value from the exploited nation over an extended period rather than gain some short-term value while destroying the source of that value. The exploited nations benefit by not being attacked, and may have more flexible options for improving their position economically (i.e. Japan in the electronics market in the 1980s).
The Trump administration looks like when a new manager takes over a functional team, doesn’t know how anything works, can’t be bothered to try to understand, and just starts breaking established processes to prove that they’re in charge.

Except in places I’ve worked where this happened the new boss was on probation and could more easily be let go for poor performance. We tried something like that with tRump with two impeachments.
There’s no such thing as a recall election for the president, at least not for 4-years. And that’s a long time from now. Took only 80 days to get here from inauguration. We, and the global markets, will never recover if they leave it to us to fix it. Rest of the world can go on without us.
China will suffer from reduced sales. The rest of the world except the US will reap the benefits of this.
One r two fs in tariff
Since we’re apparently going to have to be spelling it all the time now.
just use Tarkin.
Ah, yes.
I’d rather like to forget about it all util I csn do more than just avoid American products
“Back off or I shoot myself in the other foot!”
It’s got some real “Black Knight” energy to be sure.
TBH idgaf about USA tariffs on China specifically.
It doesn’t help either country but fuck China, so yeah.
China sales to US will remain the same as there is no alternatives. This was just a way for trump to tax American but make it look like other countries are being harmed. In fact many companies in china and other countries are making record sales to US due to stockpiling. happening in US.
In truth, Trump Threatens 104% GST tax (tariffs) increase on American for buying imports from China. China is not paying the tax, americans are.
You’re arguing against statements I haven’t even made lmao
Lately the US has been working overtime to destroy its own China-bad propaganda and our good will to go along with it. We’re probably gonna go with “fuck the US” this time around.
It’s shorter to just call China-bad propoganda as “journalism.”
You have a hard time tying your shoes while thinking about something else, don’t you?
that is why I think this tariff thing is not an attack on other countries but just a way for trump to collect more tax from americans, since they have no choice but to buy from china.
You talk a lot about Economic Theory considering you completely ignored one crucial detail: consumers won’t buy it if the price gets high enough. This could effectively become an Embargo, and it should because Fuck Chinam
The problem is that the US and China are the two largest economies in the world. Everyone else kind of orbits around them. Conflict between them will have a lot of collateral damage.
Yeah, thats fair, but China allowed free reign with no consequences for all their modern atrocities and hostile actions including US election interference would also give the world collateral damage.
