Will Trump take this blow without retaliation? Will he just eat the 84%?

Will Trump take this blow without retaliation? Will he just eat the 84%?

No, he'll retaliate.
The problem is he can't win against China. He has no leverage. The US needs China more than China needs the US.
And China has about 99% internal cohesion vs. the at best 50% internal cohesion of the US. One-party regimes will always have an inherent advantage, and that's before we even consider the inherent advantage of being unfeeling bugmen.

He has no leverage

You mean... hes got no cards?

That too.

And China has about 99% internal cohesion vs. the at best 50% internal cohesion of the US

this is unironically what will get him killed

Just remember, he already had TWO (2) assassination attempts and those weren't planned by big tech

What if he says "thank you"?

Will Trump take this blow without retaliation? Will he just eat the 84%?

It's going to be something stupid like a 200 percent tarrif on top of existing one

Only if he wears a suit

also, chinese standard of living has much less to fall, If the US standard of living falls there will be riots. What happened last time the chinese tried to riot? right, we don't talk about that

Eat the 1%

45 branding instead of 47, almost like some retard tried to hustle these 8+ years ago but was too inept to actually get them to market when the iron was hot

staggeringly cheap and shitty hardware

extremely evasive about the actual place of manufacture but VETERAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESS™

that'll be a thousand bucks + tip + tariffs

The sheer patriotism radiating from this enterprise is blinding.

I almost respect the grift, its on a completely different level that nobody else could hope to match

Yeah, the chinks are you used to living in shit conditions. They can take 2 years until mid terms.

I'm sure that the fact chinks set an 84% tariff against Trump's 104% will be seen by him as a sign of weakness and WINNING BIGLY instead of the fact Chinese leaders are more intelligent and show they don't want an idiotic trade war where they match every tariff with the same, or larger, amount.

I mean if they get really fucked they can eat their elders and solve two problems at once. Not even being racist, Guangxi massacre was a real thing.

What if he just puts additional 50% tariffs on every country that buys chinese goods?

Human cooking is just part of dey culcha. There's nothing wrong with that, there's a ton of daily roadkill or escalator meats. Why should it go to waste? Wouldn't you want your family to eat you after you die so that they can survive?

Those were fake, faggot.

ameritards why arnt you on the streets protesting this lunatic?

Those were fake, faggot.

yea until they aren't

has he not wargamed this though? Obviously they were going to retaliate; its going to go like to 4000% tariffs by each, so no trade at all - then what? China just sells off US bonds and dollars it owns in massive abundance. US can do what in return? Nothing.

Only people who are protesting are never Trumpers and Dems. So not enough to make the GOP break from Trump. MAGA would to break from Trump on tariffs to for anything to happen.

People are exaggerating the resilience of the Chinese people.
The hard boiled cultural revolution boomers are all dead or irrelevant. The young are not used to hard times. The young are used to a certain standard of living and the poorest Chinese are already demoralized.
This is the country that started "laying flat".
This the country where young women will not marry you unless you own a house and a car.

The one advantage that I give them over us, is that they are genuinely patriotic.

Agree that most protestors are retarded shitlibs, but anecdotally I'm seeing a huge drift from Trump due to Elon Musk + tariffs. I do think Miggershits going on social media and basically saying "you'll own nothing and be happy" is going to be an inflection point, it's more a matter of how much time it takes.

China has a LONG history of not giving a shit about their people at the expense of maintaining their dynasties. They will weather this no problem, even if by all accounts the US is responsible for so much of their economy it does not fucking matter because the government will gladly allow most of their people to go back to being sustenance rice farmers in backwater villages if that’s what it comes to for them to maintain control. The White House is severely underestimating how little they care about their own people.

It CAN win against China, but not also against Canada and Mexico and Vietnam and Taiwan and South Korea and Japan and all of fucking Europe, etc. at the same fucking time.

he thinks this is a negotiating tactic

We genuinely do not need or want chinese chinkslop anymore.

cheap slave labor!!

We can use robotics and AI to automate

chinese will starve to death and cannibalize each other!! they're strong!

uhh weird flex but okay

you can't! you just can't!

lol. lmao

Watch trump have to stop selling his trinkets because of his own tarrifs because they everything is actually made in china.

I was out on the streets saturday, just in my small town, first protest I'd been to since 2012. Out of 5000 people in the town there must have been 500 in the streets, mostly older people, everyone was honking and cheering us. This area is super apolitical but something about the stock market and tariffs activated the boomers. The unironic dual-party centrist griller Reagan libs who bought into the memes and have benefited most are out there, but no zoomers and not many millenials. There was a high schooler in a pastafarian shirt though and that was pretty rad.

It CAN win against China, but not also against Canada and Mexico and Vietnam and Taiwan and South Korea and Japan and all of fucking Europe, etc. at the same fucking time.

All of those countries are just pass-through for Chinese goods.

They import from China, export to USA.

They can fix it by stopping this arrangement, but either way, it will be very painful.

You're about as mind broken as the average Russian nigger, you just keep flip flopping between retarded narratives because even you can't double think properly about how retarded Trump truly is and how he will destroy the US.

so you're strongly against USA tariffs on China. Let me guess, you agree with and support Chinese tariffs on USA?

You aren't American. Your opinion on what we do with our own markets is irrelevant. Sell somewhere else, or pay the tariff.

While I agree Trump tariffs are absolutely retarded china selling off of US Bonds isn't going to benefit china. China has been selling US Treasury Bonds for years now. But they can do it only slowly not to crush the price of US treasuries.

If they crash the price to below face value the US can just print money to buy back the debt on the open market which than disappears.

It would be like buying 100$ bill for 80$.
Effectively it would reduce the US debt because you only printed 80$ to buy a Treasury bond for which the US promised to pay 100$ at term.

So china dumping all US stock to crash it's value is just free money to the US.

I'm happy with you golems self-destructing, you're doing the world a service. I'm just here to point out how utterly mind broken you are.

Actually he's very smart
His long term goal is to fix global warming by crashing everything making everyone produce and consume less

why would china care lol.

buy back debt

ok. china says thank you.

If you think spastics like bannon and trump have the mental faculties to outwit the Chinese government you're even more retarded than they are.

You know he won't
Pride is the deadliest sin

No, he'll retaliate.

probability on 1000% tariffs by EOM?

As soon as he has a handshake photo with Xi, he could start boasting that he just made a big and beautiful deal, actually it's maybe best trade deal ever made and is therefore rolling back the tariffs — completely regardless of the actual outcome of the meeting.

I honestly just don't fucking care what happens. I make almost 6 figs & can't afford a house. let the markets crater. We've been in a propped economy for years. This is what happens.
