Summary
China has shrugged off the latest U.S. tariff hike, dismissing the Trump administration’s threats as a “meaningless tariff numbers game.”
Donald Trump’s move to impose tariffs “wiped trillions of dollars off Wall Street” and raised duties on foreign goods, claiming to bring back U.S. manufacturing jobs.
A White House fact sheet announced tariffs on some Chinese imports would rise to 245%.
China’s Commerce Ministry said the move “fully exposes the fact that the United States has become irrational” and vowed to see the trade war “through to the very end.”
Trump has already lost this war. The war he started because he’s stupid as fuck. He’s going to die before he sees the results of the chaos he reigns.
Have you seen him recently? Sometimes he neglects the orange deck stain, and his skin is grey and ghoulish. I swear if he didn’t have some necromancer keeping him alive, he’d have died 20 years ago.
But but but the DR said he’s perfectly healthy due to all the strenuous golf we’re paying him to play
It also said he’s 6’3" and 224 lbs. I’m calling BS on both of those.
Lmao. Could be 2400% and it still wouldn’t matter. China already has the pipelines to circumvent all retaliatory measures including Chumps tariffs.
Remember how China exposed all the luxury brands? It’s that. Send the products to Vietnam or Brazil or somewhere. Get a domestic label sewn on and bingo.
Xi is playing chess. Chump is playing with his own feces.
Once again I miss competence. Just - plain old competence. Knowing a goddamned thing.
Unfuckingbelievable we’re here again. The fucker almost wiped out the planet last time with a virus. Gotta give him another at-bat eh? Fucking idiots.
The AI slop machine got Trump’s name right, but whiffed entirely on the author of the book.
What are americans going to do? Stop buying Chinese crap?
Once amazon warehouses are empty the tariffs are gonna be „paused”. In trumps own words „he has no cards”.
No we are just gonna keep buying the cheap crap at the new tariff price because we have no financial literacy in this country and easy access to credit.
What a weird timeline that we are rooting for China on this.
I am rooting for free trade. It’s stupid and inefficient for every country to try to manufacture the same goods.
…how anyone in the US sees this as positive is beyond my ability for faith and reason…
I mean, I see it a positive that China is telling us to go fuck ourselves, which will greatly increase the economic hardship that the average white moderate faces, which might wake them up to the horrors that are happening around them. As for the trade war as a whole, idk I think the world will generally be better off cutting out America.
the trump voters largely do not want positive, they want big negatives for everyone else and are willing to accept negatives for themselves to get it
Money answers to neither faith nor reason and holds sway over the govt and it’s population.
Because hurting the 1% is the only way this guy is going to be brought back to being an ineffective dictator. If the rich suffer, he will suffer.
Because when the masses are robbed of a stable living and basic dignity, and when faith in institutions collapse in a society that puts everything on faith in institutions, coupled with an education system that isn’t built for intelligence and critical thinking but instead for indoctrination and farming obedient workers, people become desperate for “something else” or “anything else.” Because it’s inhuman and unnatural for homosapiens to live under those conditions, and it’s a desperate situation because these people are desperate, and the people at large have lost a sense of higher purpose (be it God or Country, I personally think we need to return our worship and devotion to Mother Nature.)
I too have challenged faith and reason given the current state of affairs, but I have faith in Mother Nature to return balance to the relations we’ve disturbed, and cut arrogant humans, who think they’re somehow above or seperate from nature, down to size. Like a deer or insect or algae that dominate a given area and upsets the balance, Mother Nature demands balance and harmony between relations and suffering is caused when those relations are disturbed. What gives me faith is the knowledge that all these politicians and their big fancy buildings could magically vanish today, and would go unnoticed as society keeps plodding along - as it’s us who grow and distribute the food, it’s us who drive the trucks and move the goods, it’s us who live on our land, it’s us who strive for and gift a sense of belonging to one another, it’s us who repairs things when they’re broken and it’s us who rebuild when things get destroyed. We are only intelligent or special creatures in that we exist to maintain Natures relations, and like every other creature we exist to survive. We don’t want to assume coersive power or overthrow our government, we want coersive power to be destroyed.
Domestic manufacturers will see a slight bump. Hopefully their raw materials aren’t so heavy affected though…
…they won’t be, this was all planned, please read project 2025
Project 2025 does seem to be the exact program they are following for most things. One of the next steps is to deploy the military for law enforcement inside the USA. This may happen in a few days’ time if the rumours of Trump planning to declare martial law on April 20th are true.
