104% TARIFF ON CHINA ON APRIL 9TH

this nigga really crashing it to zero huh

I hope China matches this too lol

if tariffs destroy economies why did china implement them?

I’m blowing my brains out it’s fucking over. I’m selling it all get out while you can bros.

In a perfect world tarrifs like these wouldn't exist.

US accounts for 5% of China's exports.

americans will watch their children starve and die in the streets for their retarded emperor HAHAHA please stream it at least? twitch or discord whichever works for me

their requested meetings

which have also requested meetings

Sell signal. He's trying way too hard to play the "we're in the driver's seat" angle.
Mmmmmm, more tasty magatard money for me.

This must be a joke

This.
it's not 2000 anymore. It will be tough but they are way more prepared now.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter"

HUH!? WHAT PRESIDENT TALKS LIKE THAT

Because they're retarded commies who brought other wonderful ideas such as "kill all the birds", "melt all your pans" and "let's create the world's first state-mandated demographic crisis".

Imagine thinking this is true.

Don't worry. They will. Xi wrote off the American market years ago

Enjoy funding the building of a blue water navy to protect global trade.

Your wife has 100% turned into a tariff.

shut up, chang

A senile one. We're not at Joe Biden levels but we're somewhere along the way clearly.

Yeah, why doesn’t the US copy China’s economy policy? Everyone is China is so wealthy. I wish we could be more like them.

china is just going to ship through canada and mexico because trump drew his bluff already

China is already doing that

Wow look at all the geopolitical experts itt! Waow!

So instead of $800 dollar Nintendo Switch 2 it's now.. like $1200 dollars?

The market is smuggling electronics in particular into the US will be huge.

Foreign tariffs against your country must be retaliated to, or it will create perverse incentives for businesses to base production abroad and then import, in order to maintain economies of scale

It's 19%, retard.

We already knew this was going to happen. Trump announced he will place a 25% tariff on anyone who buys Venezuelan oil, which in practice means he will place an additional 25% tariff on China.

yet you can go out without getting stabbed by a nog over there, yep im thinking theyre winnin

it´s a game of chicken you shoot yourself in the foot but you also hit the other

What braindead shithole are you from?

GOODBYE RECESSION, HELLO DEPRESION

I’m working on stretching out my asshole currently to fit as many Nintendo switches in it as I can

Not high enough

Are we tired of winning yet, MAGA bros?!

more tariffs on china

willing to talk with every country except china

it's pretty obvious what tTump's up to now. He wants to rally everyone against China. He's literally using carrot and stick on other countries so they're subservient to america while he can openly attack China in the open. High risk play, not confident that it'll work

he cares about fucking console prices FOR KIDS

Grow the fuck up. That's what Trump is telling Americans.

arr american wirr die very very soon they wirr starve and be homeress

We will, thanks for the good time old man

Exports to the US were about 15% of China's exports and about 2.8% of China's GDP as of 2023

shART OF THE DEAL*

He's literally using carrot and stick

Except without the carrot.

Is this good or bad for bitcoin if China folds?

don't get stabbed

do get eaten by escalators

He wants to rally everyone against China

Is this why he's tariffing EU, Cambodia, UK and Vietnam?
This nigger has no idea what he's doing, I'm sorry

NOOOOOOOOO THIS GORS AGAINST MY NARRATIVE MODS DELETE THIS POST

It's better than it used to be, but also China can withstand a lot. The US can't just tell its people to accept suffering like China can.

This is unknown territory. Everything is on the table.

Where's the fucking carrot? He won't even accept other countries dropping tariffs. He wants ridiculous shit like payments and dropping VAT. Making a deal with him is impossible.

I unironically prefer Chinese goods to jeet shit and hecho en estados unidos slop.

So this is why my portfolio is deep red today. Fucking orange man.

Nintendo Switch 2

Seems like the market doesn't really care of escalating tariffs between China seeing that there's no major moves. I guess he really should have just threatened China and left everyone alone.

You can't try this trick twice. Once they close their doors on their end is over, there's no tariffing once all trade is shutting down, he might as well announce a 1000% tariff, it wouldn't make a difference. Making money paying a 60% goods tax on both ends is already impossible.

Can't China just cut essential shit like basic pharmaceuticals that would instantly kill all diabetic Americans?

China will ban the exports of rare metals to USA, iphones will go from 1200 to 2500 overnight

it's real

holyfucking kek. We can't stop winning trumpbros

I can afford it. Maybe stop being poor.

I actually wasn’t poor until my crypto and stocks shit themselves.

I welcome the new Chinese century

Trump could have played his cards better and gotten EU, India, Japan, SK, Latin America etc. in on common tariffs against China but he went all-in on everyone instead of having a common sense strategy.

China was skirting tariffs by exporting to Mexico and other nations who then exported to the US. It had to be everyone or no one. Likely what trump is trying to do is assemble a collection of vassal states who receive low or no tariffs but agree to whatever tariff requirements against China et al the US sets.

Boo hoo. You should also stop being a degenerate gambling addict.

Not my problem

yeah. i work in corporate at a big jewish pharmacy youve definitely heard of. 80%+ of generic medications are manufactured in china or india. the tariffs explicitly give an exemption for pharma for this exact reason... but china could use it as a weapon.

but china could use it as a weapon.

they won't.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

He really has a way with words.

This is actually insane. Someone has to do something about this

They will. Have you seen their cities? It’s the future

Oil tankers move slowly and yes, he should've. Absolutely no-one in SEA has a soft spot for China right now. Same goes for the EU and India

When I said I was poor from the trumpflation stimmy checks you retards told me to fucking buy stocks. Make up your godamn mind faggot

Likely what trump is trying to do is assemble a collection of vassal states

No he's not, he's tariffing everyone at the same time, ensuring the only coalition that can be formed at this time is the one that oppose the USA
Atleast now we know for sure it wasnt 4d chess and he was truly retarded the whole time

He really doesn't want the market to recover eh
Were are his tard wranglers? Why is he allowed to type shit?

yea thats cope

I'm not some whore who spends her free time posting her tits on Instagram with 5 layers of filters, so literally don't care.

Were are his tard wranglers?

They all got primaried and chased out of the party. The last non-retarded Republican left is J-Pow and Trump will get rid of him for some mongoloid as soon as he can.

it would take outright hostilities. they don't gain anything by doing it.

i-Anything

I do hope Apple crushes and burns but it won't happen because Apple really did succeed in creating a cult around their brand.

He's telling Americans

YOU VILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY

Try getting a fucking job, retard.

as a leafy i'd rather china just take over the world then have american's 2014-2024's version of "free speech" that's really just a leftist echo chamber.
Us is exploding why even bother trading with them if you aren't forced to like Canada and Mexico they're a manufacturing country that just gave the middle finger to all their suppliers.

century

He doesn't know...

we were already paying tariffs, now you get to learn how to live with them too.

if they do it means gloves are off. I'm sure the chinese can endure pain more than americans.

Outright hostilities like "give me what I want or I 100% tariffs on all your shit"?

they don't gain anything by doing it.

Doesn't seem to be stopping the big orange monkey

inb4 all according to keikaku

Fucking kill yourself

retard

where do I bet on trump falling out of a window soon?

US already had this basically with Mexico and Canada. Now neither can rely on / trust the US so they *NEED* to hedge with other partners including China.

are you stupid retards? this is not only about phones , computers, cars, medical devices, industrial machines etc, so everything you buy will also skyrocket, from food to medicine

Canada and us did it to them first to try and halt their dominance in the EV market.

it would take outright hostilities.

yeah haha like a gigantic trade war who would do such a thing haha

No one's died yet. China aren't going to kill Americans over tariffs, they're not lowlifes like Americans are.

personal attacks are just proof of your stupidity.

can the CIA execute this migger already? america will cease to exist at this rate. forget stepping down, I will only be satisfied watching his brains splatter over the podium in front of thousands of miggers

You're acting like the oiligarchs aren't in on this, any amount of temporary harm is fine as long as they fuck over the working class and make them serfs.
Its the same reason why plenty of billion dollar companies run at a deficit each year just to fuck any competitors from trying to enter their market

You know Pearl Harbor happened because of a trade embargo? Who's to say China won't take out TSMC fabs or something?

Chyna was making us pay dem tariffs!

now they'll have to learn to live with them!

Retard alert
The tariffs were less than 4%. Trump's flat 10% tariff is already a port-closing threat, not just to China, but to the entire world.
They won't have to learn to live with anything because they wont' be trading with America anymore, as I already said, no one can make money paying a 50% transaction tax. Trump is promising to literally end America's position as a major trading country.

You know Pearl Harbor happened over a trade embargo right?

I'm sorry

That's what they told your mom when you were born

Quiet frog, the scorpion is speaking

But they gonna hurry up with the invasion plans on Taiwan. How do you think markets will react?

If only CROOKED AIM CROOKS had used optics...

China fears the Chinese people more than the rest of the world does. It's one of the biggest benefits the western hemisphere has; politics, the talking heads, people protesting. Law suits. Memes. It's always a shit show and we like it that way.

Right, it's probably several millennia

I'M GOING TO MAKE SHIT MORE EXPENSIVE FOR MY OWN PEOPLE

THAT WILL PROVE SOMETHING

IT ISN'T LIKE YOU GUYS ARE ABLE TO COMPLETELY MANUFACTURE YOUR OWN SHIT AND REACH OUT TO OTHER COUNTRIES FOR TRADE DEALS

I don't get his end game.

one MILLION PERCENT tariffs!

They need those fabs just as much as the rest of the world does. They would rather take other Taiwan from the inside like Hong Kong than launch a full scale war. Not that it matters because they know that as long as they massage Trump's ego, they can get away with anything like Russia does.

All of these of purchases I make once every 5 years at the very most. I don't buy medicine because I'm not an unhealthy fat fuck like you. Most food of any significance is produced locally here in the US, not imported.

get to learn how to live with them too

If you even get to live lmao. This will cause shortages of all kind the likes of which you haven't even dreamt of

I think Trump legitimately despises China and will never make a deal with them.

Bullshit. There are many more fees if you want to sell to China. Same way it is impossible to buy stuff in the EU from The Us by it's very easy to buy shit without any tarrifs from china. All packages go through but from the US 90% that it will be caught and you pay massive taxes AND tarrifs

tit for tat winnie pooh

Yeah, I don't think that's going to end well for anyone... I find it funny how other countries are just watching this happening

Reminder that it was literally Zion Don, the orange make up retard who did this. He started it in 2018, it was literally his presidential team. There was no trade war with China before Trump.

The US economy is less dependent on globalized trade than any other large economy, especially China's.
What Trump is doing is basically flooding the room knowing he can swim the longest. Not saying it's not retarded, but there is at least some reason for this.
It's kinda funny this strategy is exactly the inverse of their strategy against the soviet union. Globalization as a system was set up by the Americans to boost allied ecomies through access to the American market to stand against the soviet bloc. The unintentional effect was creating a Chinese superpower that is closing in on rivaling the US. Trump is essentially pulling the emergency release to flush out China and secure American global dominance, at the expense of your portfolio

IDK, Trump is very much the kind of guy who will talk shit about you all the time, then after 1 phone call he makes a post about how he just had a GREAT conversation with you which made LOTS OF PROGRESS and soon there will be a GOOD DEAL to make both countries great again.

The US economy is less dependent on globalized trade than any other large economy, especially China's.

I find it funny how other countries are just watching this happening

They're not "just watching". Their markets are falling in even faster than the US.

What if it doesn't work out the way he thinks it is going to work out and other countries end up flocking to China to make trade deals while cutting America out of global trade.
What then?

The United Suburbs of America are crumbling. put your money in the gilded lands of EVROPE and just chill.

The US economy is less dependent on globalized trade than any other large economy, especially China's.

I always thought the "stupid american" thing was a meme, I cannot believe wtf I am reading

What Trump is doing is basically flooding the room knowing he can swim the longest

except US isn't exporting anything truly irreplaceable. people will deal without newest iphones and spyware-as-a-service slop from silicon valley

Do you think anybody actually fucking cares besides Boomers, low IQ slop consoomers and hedge funds, retard?

Wrong. They're green in the long game.
America is melting faster than the mainland, and all the countries that sided with America in Trump's genius trade war like Japan and Taiwan are melting even faster.

i don't really understand it anons. producing tech stuff is anyway too much expensive in the us, taking into account taxes and wages. so it will be produced elsewhere, not china or us. rest of the world will continue buying chinese tech from xiaomi, lenovo, etc, as it's a good deal for the price. i would rather buy chink phone for $300 rather than iphone for $2000
also what about cheap junky things - feagures, dildos, other trash (check out Anon Babble thread) - it will cost much more if produced in us and anon won't just buy it.

purchases I make once every 5 years at the very most

and all the manufacturers and suppliers that rely on computers, cars, medical devices, industrial machines etc... ?

European markets are falling too.

I am

This orange cheeto just randomly decides invasions and tariff numbers lmao

Dumb fucking retard. Even if it were true, it's the stupidest logic.

Sure, but yuros aren't in a trade war with everybody on earth (except russia) so it'd be easier to unfuck

This is why your ruled by an orange monkey

UHHH I DONT BUY FROM THEM EITHER BECAUSE I DONT LEAVE MOMMYS BASEMENT
I HAVE FAITH THAT KEK WILL CONTINUE TO PRESENT TENDIES ON A PLATE AT THE TOP OF THE BASEMENT STAIRS

Not really, the US needs to import stuff from China since they make literally everything

but we can make our own stuff!

Good luck, without factories, infrastructures, production lines and low wages, the only ones paying for the tariffs will be the average american

Nice cope faggot

Trump just lost. He's clearly panicking because China didn't come begging, so now he either enacts these tariffs and everyone loses their money, or he caves and loses to China and admits defeat, which we all known will never happen. If he's not impeached today, then we truly are fucked

He's correct. The USA has been for most of its history completely self-reliant to an extent no other country can match other than perhaps Russia. The fact that so much industry has been outsourced doesn't change this fact. There are many reasons for what Trump is doing, I just think the zoomers and liberal types on here are either pretending to be stupid or are such soulless bugmen they literally cannot think of economics beyond being exit liquidity baggies for rich jews.

But Elon and various republicans have come out against the tariffs. Clearly we're aren't the only ones that are nervous about this.

how does it feel that the biggest libtards were right all along? The people suffering from trump-derangement syndrome in 2016 actually saw things for what they were with perfect clarity.

for the last time, impeachment doesn't mean he gets removed from office

I hope china doesn't back down ahahahha what a shitshow

He's correct. The USA has been for most of its history completely self-reliant to an extent no other country can match other than perhaps Russia.

If Trump has a sudden fall down the stairs in the next week then I will truly believe that hitmen actually exist. If they killed Kennedy then surely they can kill Trump as well

the only ones paying for the tariffs will be the average american

That's the point
US is self-reliant in the "what if every area in the world was cut off and global trade broke down completely"
Except global trade didn't break down completely, it's just US who decided to fuck off. There's no reason for anybody else to do so

Not really. America is shitting itself and they are just smelling the fart

This guy knows how to fuck

At least you have a house you whiny faggot

Guess he just has to get Epstein'd then

See this kinda shit is what makes me think the tariffs are actually great. “The right people are upset” as Fuentes was saying.
If you just phrase it in terms of economic policy, rational calculation, blah blah blah, then I’m more willing to say, yeah ok maybe you have a point and maybe it is a dumb idea. But eventually the mask comes off and the anti-Trump crowd says what they’re really thinking: “it’s a bad idea because Americans can’t take the pain, they’re not TOUGH ENOUGH”. Well fuck you. We’ll show you how tough we can be. I’ll live on the streets and eat dogshit if I have to to show I’m “tougher” than some chink bugman.
You really don’t want to make this about who can endure the most pain. We’ll win.

I don't. I was already planning for the day I accumulated enough cash to do so, around 2028.

Cute fanfiction, retard. Now zoom out on the 5 year chart since COVID ended. SSE has had only 10% growth for 5 straight years since then while the S and P 500 is up 78% even still on the same time frame. You're not very good at this, are you?

they will buy from the Moon or Mars

ITODDLERS BTFO

Maybe look up how much food and energy China imports vs. the US, instead of posting frogs.
Just a hint: The US is the largest oil producer in the world and a net exporter. The only oil they import is crude types they don't produce in sufficient amounts themselves. More recent American "oil wars" were mostly to keep oil prices under control for the NATO allies, not themselves

China was recently literally flooding the Eurozone with cheap EV's and decimated their car manufacturing and EV industry lmao, but sure keep telling yourself that.

Trump's is assuming Americans have a spine, they do not.

I’ll live on the streets and eat dogshit if I have to to show I’m “tougher” than some chink bugman.

104% :^)

Are US tariffs going to stop every other country on Earth trading with China?
Are US tariffs on everybody, ever, making those countries more likely to somehow put punishing tariffs on China that would fuck both them and China at the same time?

Zoom out to when Trump wasn't the president and Biden was inviting Xi Jinping to California making people hopeful that the relationships would restore

Thats true but in recent decades they kind of lost it

South Korea about to enjoy their last golden age by selling high end samsungs with just a moderate tariff to overcome until 90% of their population is made of senile dying fossils and the country disintegrates 20 years later.

I'm not American, I just have knowledge about the economy and the history of globalization from more than 2 years ago and from other sources than Anon Babble/reddit.
I mean this entire thing is about trade deficits. If countries stop importing garbage to the American consumer market Americans can consume less or at higher prices. Other countries entire economies crumble since the majority of their economic output is worthless overnight

The country that spent the last 60 years protecting free trade to the point it built the biggest navy in the world just to protect shipping routes all around the globe

yeah that country is not dependant on world-trade at all and is akshually totally self sufficient

It is so fucking over

Yes goy the chinese are the problem.

China was recently literally flooding the Eurozone with cheap EV's and decimated their car manufacturing and EV industry lmao

VW sold more electric cars in 2024 than in 2023

how does it feel that the biggest libtards were right all along?

The same libtards who are losing all their wealth, having their institutions hemorrhaged and their artificial rigged global economy shattered right before our eyes just now? Lmao, going broke to own MAGA, great strategy you got there.

Biden placed tariffs on China too, you ESL retard.

vassal states who receive low or no tariffs but agree to whatever tariff requirements against China

Motherfucker just refused Vietnam's offer to negotiate, Trump admin could just do this and but nooo, fix your trade deficit bruh, stop being poor

The riding trend in this Graph is the first Trump presidency, the long flat line is the Biden presidency trying to restore tires, and the return to the retardation is Trump again:

heh i dont care jf my country turns into a poor shithole and im homeless

Is this the latest cope?

No but global consumer markets without the US cannot take all the supply coming out of China at current levels without a massive drop in prices. And any drop in Chinese production or revenues from trade is going to lead to job losses in China which is basically lighting a match in a flour warehouse.

The US has demonstrated itself unfit for self government. Maybe Canada will be charitable and take it over as a mandate colony while de-migification takes place.

America WON
SEETHE more Chang

nytimes.com/2024/09/13/us/politics/biden-tariffs-chinese-goods-clothing.html

cnn.com/2024/09/13/politics/china-tariffs-biden-trump/index.html

Cope and seethe.

The US is quite import dependent on important things, including many basic types of capital goods. For example, the US does not make high end photolithography machines, only the low end ones used for things like packaging

This is the first step in deleting globalization, an articial system set up and enforced by the Americans. It only exists because the US Navy secures global shipping lanes. Once the Americans are even more self-sufficient they will just stop securing trade or even sabotage it themselves. Historically the US just bombed every country that threatened shipping lanes into submission, which will stop. They've already shown reluctance to properly push back against the Houthis. 30 years ago Yemen would've looked like Gaza after the first container ship got attacked.
Again, I'm not claiming this is a super secret 4D chess plan being executed by Trump. The plan for full American self sufficiency highly depends on trade with Canada and Mexico, which he also tries to nuke.
But the truth remains that the US is looking to completely reshape the global economic system because it no longer serves American geopolitical interests.

Ahahaha you uneducated migaoid you understand Russia will completely pump them with cheap oil in such case right? You think they just going to be USA best friend and say oooo we won't bail out china after ukraine? FUCKING MIGOIDS MAN., MIGA MAGGOTS HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT GEOPOLTICS.

US has no rare earth metals. Cope

And you will suffer.

Produced in China

Ok but what if the next president just decides to reverse everything Trump did?

the entire world will play along because US demands it

This didn't even work in the 50s, when US was a superpower, Europe and Japan were bombed out hellholes and everybody else was barely industrialized. US isn't even remotely capable of... what, creating some global blockade? Stop all trade or we nuke you?

Imagine thinking for a single moment that you are mentally equipped to suffer like the bugmen are.

he listens to peter zeihan

yes the slave labour is in china but they get paid pennies whats your point

The average chink bugmen put up with more than you can imagine.

You are nothing buy a keyboard warrior who will fold immediately once the price of whatever hobby you enjoy becomes wildly out of reach.

Not. My. Problem.

This shits funny IDC how it ends up. I will say it's refreshing to see people passionate about stuff that actually matters instead of the trannies and niggers worship that occupied the pubic sphere for the past decade

everybody that doesn't agree with my opinions HAS to be a maga retard

Hilarious how clueless most people are about geopolitics. Russia and China are not particularly strong allies. China itself is looking to take chunks out of eastern Russia when the opportunity presents itself.
One of the main reasons Trump is so friendly with Russia is because they have proven to be militarily irrelevant in their failed invasion and are no economic threat.
On the same note killing NATO is because NATO's only purpose was to stand against the USSR. Both as a base for American operations on the European mainland and simply to stop western expansion of the USSR. Since any conflict with China will be 99% naval and European navies are a rounding error in the whole of NATO, they are of no use in that case for the US. Similarly the US building large military bases in Saudi Arabia and Qatar has severely limited the usefulness of American bases in Europe for operations in the ME.
I don't even know why I'm trying to explain this shit to zoomers with 3 second attention spans who don't even know where half these countries are

We’ll show you how tough we can be.

You were crying the past summer for a mildly spike on the prices. Americans are are race made up of the softest and fattest cats.

The americans who threw a tantrum because the eggs were getting expensive are casually gonna tank a decade of recession in silence to "reshape the global order"

You're about to get a dangerous dose of reality check

Kino timeline

i werrcom duh new churnese cenchry

kek

US isn't even remotely capable of... what, creating some global blockade?

Yes, they could very, very easily do that. There is no country that even has 10% of the naval power the US, let alone the reach. Not to mention they just need to patrol like 3 chokepoints

There is no country that even has 10% of the naval power the US

It's not one country retard, it's the whole planet
Also, this naval power is heavily reliant on bases and supplies located within allied territory, I'm sure you see where this is going

US will start a war against literally everyone on the planet

But seriously, why did he go insane in the second term?

US is dependant on alumium and copper imports

I hope you can capture them fast and don't make the same mistake Germany did with oil.

He's just fucking senile
It's like Biden, but worse because he actually think he knows what he's doing

Damn, we couldn't even beat rice farmers in Vietnam

KEK

he got mandate of heaven

in the second term

...

can't get reelected

public option doesn't matter

This is just mask off, he's extorting companies hurt by tariffs for personal gain.

He is very likely suffering from Dementia because he hasn't released any medical records in 10ish years and just states "I'm fine".
He is also very likely pissed about everything from the end of his first term to the start of his second term, so he surrounded himself with literal retards who can only say Yes and wants to see everything burn.

It's a combination of the 2020 election locking him into a permanent state of cope/seethe/dilate, all the oldschool Republican tard wranglers getting chased out of the party and replaced with (or converting into) MAGAniggers, and being an old fat fuck who's term-limited with no reason to give zero fucks. He's an angry retard surrounded by retard sycophants with no restraints.

So instead of $800 dollar Nintendo Switch 2 it's now.. like $1200 dollars?

oh no not my Switcheroni!!!!

US has no rare earth metals.

US does though but no one is going mine it due to US labor costs unironically.

and just states "I'm fine"

No anon, he says "I'm a stable genius" which we all know is something only a stable genius would say.

He's so stupid that he thinks this is leverage. How is he this fucking dumb.

Also forget to mention environment laws as well due to toxic nature of the metals.

Labor cost doesn't matter with rare earths as they aren't labor intensive, the reason the west doesn't want to process them is you create radioactive lakes of acid.
With Trumps war on the EPA I wouldn't be surprised if acid rain makes a comeback when he inevetably starts processing in the US.

Yes, some of them are made in EU, with technology transfer. The rest are brough in under tariffs. We even sell some of our car companies to China (volvo - geely) and Teslas made in Europe are usually fitted with BYD batteries. This is how trade works.

China is the most tightly controlled nation on the planet. They did not even riot during a multi-year lockdown. The US is 100x more likely to chimp out than China.

killing NATO

The US could just leave NATO with a pencil stroke. Forget about selling your arms then.

80%+ of generic medications are manufactured in india

Imagine the germs

On the same note killing NATO is because NATO's only purpose was to stand against the USSR

Its purpose was US domination of Europe.

The dude tried to violently overthrow the government when he lost and election, got convicted of multiple felonies and was still allowed to be reelected. He has full support of the majority of congress and the supreme court. Imagine thinking this guy is going to be pushed out of office by redditors setting Teslas on fire

Oh you mean those campaigns funded by China?

amerilards have been crying about the speed of creation for China's navy for years now, no?

this... so much this

was the '22 market crush trump's fault or was it all part of that genius biden's plan?

you don't need this, you don't need that

said fat-ass with funko and magic the gathering background

90% chance you're overweight. You've never experienced scarcity, migger.

thank you for explaining the picture, anon
t. fucking retard

i was never smart. my mom tells me though that i have a big heart

Isn't this dude like 300k in the hole for a failed coffee business that he refuses to give up on?
I'm sure the fact that coffee is going to get way more expensive due to tariffs is going to be great for him since only two US states really have the environment to produce coffee beans.

violently overthrow the government

classic redditor, "violent"

got convicted of multiple felonies

by corrupt judges

all the euros in here really had some pent up rage about america eh

you guys are so weak i can feel the low t through the screen

Did nobody tell him great value coffee is a million times better than his bargain bin rejected coffee

You know the U.S. knew about Pearl Harbor's incoming jap attack and didn't do anything, right?

leftist echo chamber

American "free speech" has never been a leftist echo chamber. everything is conservative and serves the rich bastards. look how they treat people who speak out against Israel
leftism isn't just negroes and trannies being on tv lol

Same, especially the subhumans that spam mocking images and the retarded subhumans that spam "migger" or "miga".

I've still never gotten an answer on what those latter subhumans actually are proposing. Are they proposing to vote for the DEI Sanctuary City party? They never answer.

You guys don't even have jobs and have lost all your savings in this stock market crash. Cope harder losers lmao.

You retards don't understand that Trump is deliberately crashing the market

1) to get fed rate cuts for future growth
2) to pay off his handlers whom he tipped to short all markets last week

He wanted Monday to hit the breakers

Do you guys even produce your own diabetes medication?

NOT MY PROBLEM CHUD

There was no trade war with China before Trump.

Yes, there was only trade capitulation. The extremely hostile barriers to trade in China that have existed for decades far exceed any current tariffs. With the fact that they force technology transfers and force foreign business to partner with Chinese business, divulging all IP, research, and secrets and the fact that they constantly engage in espionage, it's mind boggling that the world has allowed them to pass unscathed up to this point.

Retard.

I don't care if I starve as long as the Chinese are hungrier than me

literal north korean propaganda logic

Why did trash decide to enforce racism against whites and sexism against males through official and unofficial DEI policy as well as refuse to enforce immigration laws, declare cities "sanctuaries" for illegals, and flood the system with false asylum claims to prevent and timely adjudication?
That seems more insane.

And yes its all (((china)))

People don't realize this. If USA somehow starts manufacturing more products, it will become a huge shithole.

I'm all for retaining key manufacturing that plays a huge role is war production eg. car lines have historically been switched to trucks and jeeps.
What I don't want us to produce at scale is anything that creates a wasteland eg. resistors and capasitors, we do need them for arms and should have lines for them but if we produce every capasitor the country uses in country we'll end up wearing masks 24/7 as a necessity.

I’ll live on the streets and eat dogshit if I have to to show I’m “tougher” than some chink bugman.

Realizing the pot is boiling and immediately perverting the reality of your situation into an machismo endurance test is next level insanity. Just get out of the pot.

It's not mind boggling. Shareholders reaped massive value.

Why is the market acting retarded today?

not writing in ALL CAPS

can't take him seriously

They tried to close high to convince people everything is fine, nothing is fine.

This post is literally everywhere right now, swallowed on twitter or some shitty news channel and then regurgitated all over tiwtter, Anon Babble and X literal thousands of times no matter how low IQ of a point it is.
They really are NPCs.

this
the world was ready for large-scale tariffs against china, trump blew that opportunity and up and drove everyone into china's arms instead (can't risk relations with that giant economy is the other one is curerntly treating the world as its enemy)

I'm not saying Americans cant endure pain, we survived the Great Depression after all. But that's not really comparable to "starve to death 50 million of your own countrymen and then follow it up with ideological purges so sweeping that it was unmatched until Pol Pot" levels of enduring pain

Forget that, what about the lockdowns? How much did it cause people to say it was a breach of their freedom and they wouldn't take it anymore, compared to the CCP welding people into their own homes and basically saying, "if you break quarantine you'll be shot"

Seeth and Mald, quarter pound.

Illegal subsidization of companies

My favorite Trumpism is labeling things other governments do "illegal" as if they don't decide their own fucking laws.

i just cant understand what hes trying to do like what does he hope will come out of this??? what is your endgame what are you trying to achieve i just cant wrap my head around it

2 more weeks

Petition Trump to end the illegal corn subsidies.

why doesn't he just embargo China at this point?

XDDD

He doesn't know how to spell it

I'm so sad he never explained in detail what he meant by "YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT" when Canada announced retaliatory tariffs.

I can picture him saying "embargo" in the mirror and deciding it doesn't sound good for soundbites.

Do i sell my Tencent or what ?

Chinese people were locked in their little bug cages for a whole year and the government kept them from rising up and you fatties think you can deal with moor discomfort than the bugs? lol you gotta be kidding me

old people tend to become very obstinate
ideas they would have reconsidered or admit they were wrong on in the past, they will hold on to their deathbed past a certain point

trump always had a debatable understanding of how trade deficits and tariffs work, now that he's way older and enjoys a cult of personality among republicans there is no going back
youtube.com/watch?v=nHsW-ejwFeA

I'm buying Silex because I think a lot of countries are going to want nuclear bombs in an era where the US isn't an ally and the idea of buying Tencent is morally reprehencible to me.

Americans are so retarded holy shit

Governments are capable of performing actions that are illegal under their own laws and treaties, not sure where you got the idea to the contrary.

The story of America has been dominated by, since the 1600s, broadly speaking, the story of two groups of white people who came to colonize -- one in the north, motivated by religious freedom/puritanism, education, general liberties, and free thought -- and one in the south, motivated by $$$, debt, and racism.

What you're seeing now is the retarded group dominating. Again.

You know damn well that is not what Trump is talking about.
Trump is just so retarded he thinks every country in the world is subject to US laws somehow.

Fuck off chang

Fuentes

Why are you gay?

The right wing will probably be dead after this. Libtards will take power with huge popular support and conservatism will be completely marginalized and stigmatized

leftists try to gaslight people to this day that pre-twitter elon, Jack dorsey and reddit are free speech abolitionist platforms.

Rich kids like him should get mugged and raped. only guys happy about the crash are suckups and rich assholes

He had tard wranglers in the first term

you're still mentally ill to this day just because trump is an ass doesn't mean anyone's going to vote for your braindead schizo party of lunatics.
you seriously think the poor care about trump's actions? liberal approval rating has never been lower

its mostly the working class that is vooooting for him bro they don't give a fuck about the stock market.

The ones old enough to be renting / paying a mortgage in 2008 understand the markets crashing is bad for the average worker, it's only retarded children that think it doesn't effect them.

They genuinely don't seem to give a fuck from what i can gather they think its funny. Guess Marx was partially correct, just not in the way he thought he'd be.

Likely what trump is trying to do is assemble a collection of vassal states who receive low or no tariffs but agree to whatever tariff requirements against China et al the US sets.

I’m from one of the vassal states, this would cripple our economy, it would make us go into recession

Sometimes sacrifices are necessary for the greater good.

I don't like Trump at all but you legit have TDS if you cant see the difference between his first term and this first 100 days. First term he was simply an asshole with no filter but at the end of the day mostly pushed standard Republican policies. This is something different.

Democrats should have pushed back hard against the DEI after his first term, instead they doubled down. Turns out creating hatred against the majority of the population will eventually get some of them to vote against you.

Theirs always a market for high tech manufactured goods and heavy industrys.. EVs, solar, steel, cement, shipping, solar.

Trump is like 5 years too late to corner China

It's like Trump said. 1 Shipyard in China is building more ships then the whole of the USA since the 70s. America got lost in the sauce.

and republicans should have gotten their shit together, cut ties with him and come up with a real candidate. Unfortunately both parties failed us.

at this point even that charisma void DeSantis would've been better than Trump

They know but it doesn't matter because the average conservatard mindset in 2025 is "I don't care if I suffer as long as others suffer as well", note how proponents of the tariffs only ever talk about China and the EU because it's the only thing they have in mind.

So what's the answer

China needs the US market more than the US needs the Chink market.

The trade deficit reflects this fact.

Can we stop pretending that the left is the only threat to freedom of speech.
Trump is literally deporting students for daring to criticize the zog.

I agree but they knew they would lose their own elections by cutting ties with Trump and were more concerned with getting themselves back in office than serving the American public. I can only hope this shit blows back in all their faces that most of them get ousted from their seats.

deporting foreign turds that talk about how much they hate America and all Westerners that only sow unrest in America

creating hatred against the majority of the population will eventually get some of them to vote against you.

Bro Democrats IMPROVED their vote with white people, it's minorities moving toward Republicans.

Doesn't look like it

The worst part of this is that everyone agrees that China is the fucking worst.

I don't, I think the US are

sow unrest

That’s the whole point of the first amendment, fuck ass.

Not for foreigners who literally want all Westerners to be killed. Go riot in your own country.

the US economy is less dependent on globalized trade than any other large economy, especially China's

no trump could not have played this better, the left has been making decisions about what is "good" or "bad" based on who presents those ideas, and trump is still orange man bad, he could cure cancer and it would get bad optics.

I reacted by laughing at you but let me explain
I can see why you believe what you believe - china would indeed starve and run out of fuel very quickly if cut off from all international trade, whilst america could easily feed and fuel itself in the same scenario; the problem with your reasoning is that it's only valid in such a scenario where international trade ceases completely. The US only has this advantage of relying on sovereign resources in a scenario of total international trade collapse or a war or something dire like that. In the real world where international trade continues, america DOES rely on international trade immensely in the sense that it is the bedrock upon which american hegemony is built; acting like trump is doing now is how you destroy that hegemony.

oh noooo soi boys dont get nintendo switches or the latest iphone....

Thats totally more important then on shoring industry right before the next industrial/robotic/automation revolution occurs.

We should just let china make everything we need forever and ever because nothing could ever go wrong with that

How will we ever recover? That sure sounds more important then on shoring industry just before the next robotic/automation/industrial revolution...

youre retarded and throwing tantrums changes nothing. The fact of the matter is that other countries need their tarriffs just to keep afloat, the us will use them to re industrialize.

keep huffing that copium

thinks electronics are only used to put phones together

thinks he can cut off China when they control the supply chain for this industry at the source

peak MAGAtard intelligence

you guys just like playing games with language, there are plenty of things like VAT that are tariffs by another name and China has plenty of them, everyone does. This is literally just "yes we tariff people and have for quite some time now, but when orange man does it its bad hitler stuff!"

european navies are a rounding error in the whole of nato

fucking hell you guys really do live in a bubble

left began the threat to humanity so they deserve to be treated as such. If the left weren't such insufferable pieces of shit for the last decade i'd care but i don't anymore.
lefties have literally defended everything from, harassment campaigns, child predation to downright assasinations and assaults

The worst part of this is that everyone agrees that China is the fucking worst.

I don't.
I want a Chinese wife for a greencard, I'll even have kids with her. 10 years ago that would have been an offer only a Japanese girl with a nice, cute, long nose could get.
Yeah, looking at the actions their government is taking on policy in other areas, really, fine by me.
Like many of the Chinese women I talk to: My only issue with them is the way they treat other territories like Hong Kong & Taiwan.

If you really think everyone thinks China is the worst, you've entered an echo chamber willingly. You almost certainly have a social media account and categorically do not belong here. You probably made that post with your fucking phone. Such a sadness.
