The Trump administration moved quickly to shut down the possibility of caving if stocks tank during a trade war with little end in sight
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that Chinese officials are betting that President Donald Trump’s attention towards the stock market serves to their advantage in a trade stand-off with the U.S. By their calculus, the U.S. can’t afford a prolonged trade war that keeps intensifying with little end in sight, a prospect they believe would tank financial markets and push Trump to make concessions.
However, the Trump administration moved quickly on Wednesday to shut down the possibility of negotiating with its back against the wall.

No. Doing what you’re doing is incredibly dangerous, and a big reason we have to deal with fucking Nazi’s again.
You can’t just simplify shit that much and declare it’s “simple”.
After WW2 everyone said every German was evil and flawed and that’s how nazis rose to power.
That is wrong but it gives everyone else the warm and fuzzies that it could never happen anywhere else.
Fucking obviously that’s wrong.
I know people like flippant social media comments, but you’re actively hurting us and helping the fascists by writing them off as Lonney Toons level evil who just want to break shit.
We need people to understand motivations not only to stop the current issue, but to prevent it from happening again
Like, c’mon man. It’s not exactly complicated, please start putting thought into what you say, and stop saying shit that helps fascists and hurts everyone else.e

In this particular case I think the end game is to crash the market. His plan is to kill the stock prices and buy it all dirt cheap. He thinks he can then reverse the crash and get billions. Just like all this investing in Argentina. Effectively money laundering. He’s taking tax payer dollars, funneling through a junk fund, then collecting on the back side. The delusion is he thinks he can recover everything after tanking it all. It galls his little ego that he’s not the richest man in the world.

That comment will get exactly 5 views, one of which will be a computer, one will be a middle schooler, and one will be a German fella who clicked accidentally, calm down.
