EU stands with US

I'm confused? How is this trap exactly? If all that happens is the party falling for the "trap" just retaliates?

Is the trap that they retaliated? This is nonsense.

Didn't the administration just get done telling its allies and trading partners to write checks to the treasury?

Conservatives yesterday:

a gay man that adopts boys? Must be a pedo, he must be wanting to fuck the little boys butt, gas all gays

Conservatives now:

this gay that adopted 2 boys? He is le based

You’re financially illiterate

What is the brilliant move that Trump made?

Well no, China signals strength against US hegemon, which is the bad actor all along

hit someone

they hit back

"AIIIEEEEEEE BAD ACTOR!!!!"

I'm tired

They've learned from their Jewish masters.

mutts are a pathetic race

The EU and Canada also retaliated. Only small and irrelevant countries are cucking to trump. This is just pure cope.

You'll have to beg better than that. Let's hear some groveling

seething at kikeGODS unprompted

Living in your head for free like its a West bank settlement

"we are willing to cooperate with our allies and trading partners who did not retaliate."

Canada and EU retaliated

So what are we going to do to them?

eu imposed tariffs

"well they didn't retaliate really, we're open for negotiations"

please mommy Ursula don't

please we just want 0% tariffs and free trade

the absolute state of sissymutts

Yuan falling is good for china THOUGH

Technically the EU didn't retaliate. They voted their tariffs in and set the date a week ahead. So they didn't take effect. They were also instituted with the stipulation that they can be indefinitely suspended at any time if a deal is reached with the US. And it was.

Nothing. Bessent yesterday tried to play it as a nothingburger so Trump wouldn't retaliate again.

We're not groveling to retards, 25% tariffs it is, FUCK your pause, the market is going down

That makes their exports cheaper, retard

Then I guess you're next

The plan consists of outright market manipulation and offering Hollywood as a sacrifice

China will just redirect all exports through other countries to avoid the 125% tariff

This plan fucking sucks.

nooooo you can't retaliate

we were just pretending

Art of the Deal

let us bully you with tariffs any way we want and don't fight back

yeah nice trap indeed.. lol retards

I feel there's some deeper meaning to Trump's actions, but I can't work out what it is

what kind of schutzpah-copium is this lol?

I don't honestly believe the tariffs were entirely to trounce China. I do believe they were intentionally placed globally to allow for more equitable trade between nations and the US, and it not being all about China.

No, we don't.

Yep. Here's the cope.

Absolutely not lmao

Technically the EU didn't retaliate.

True because they didn't have enough time to work out their response kek

They voted their tariffs in and set the date a week ahead. So they didn't take effect.

The retaliatory tariffs for the US metal tariffs are still going ahead and retaliation for car tariffs is also coming

They were also instituted with the stipulation that they can be indefinitely suspended at any time if a deal is reached with the US. And it was.

No it wasn't lol
If Donnie doesn't remove the 10% tariff we'll respond to that too

Canada has no economy.

Alone, perhaps. It's still in the top 10 and combined with the EU and China it can fuck America.

we really do but haven't received any thanks yet

Fuck no

Let's do a quick rundown of what happened

countries were "lining up to kiss Trump's ass, begging and pleading saar please do not redeem the Tariff Play™ cards we have no cards SAAR"

Japan started doomping UST, completely crushing their inner narrative of major global institutions, with hundreds of actually smart people working in them, being all patriotic TEAM USA glory to the Maoist USA

Bessent goes on to tell the media that actually, we won't do shit...and our allies didn't do shit either, China got outplayed seethe and cope, they won't do shit

meanwhile every country outside of the weakest and poorest countries did indeed retaliate in one way or another, very bad when your public narrative is that you represent yourself as Strong and Tough Negotiators, SAD!

Markets surge as there is an implication that Trump might reverse things that he himself started, very disrespectful!

IT'S A JOKE, I can't believe this shit is real life

Do you expect the average pol invader to understand that?

lol we might have to suck it up for a while to severe the ties US got on us since WW2 without burning ourselves but once they're severed we'll be good, with sane people at the helm. A boring, predicable but calm and serene life.

No we don't, we stand with China and proudly so

lmao

Wouldn’t have been easier to just tariff China and get all the Euros on board instead of pissing everyone off first?

Fuck off mutt

it's cope and a desperate try to save face after they stormed his office and told him to stop or he will have an accident

your retard in charge claimed this as the reason for tariffs, not as the goal

It's the point in time we entered the clown circus timeline lmao, idk

that's against the Art Of The Deal by sun tzu

lol fuck off Mutt. But thanks for making EU great.

I don't think I've ever seen this level of cope come from a top level official before

a lower yuan is actually really good for China. Keep pushing it down.

It's what you see on a constant basis in authoritarian shitholes, where the leaders have the personality to "get there" but they don't really have what it takes to "stay there".
It's a redditoid meme to call Trump's admin authoritarian but they really do seem like that sometimes

we just pretended to be retarded

They're an export economy to the entire world because of it. They don't actually give a fuck.

It's a redditoid meme to call Trump's admin authoritarian

It's reddit to call a spade a spade

He's been abusing special orders, undermining the courts and congress, threatening legal organisations by removing them from courts because the had the gall to help try legally impeach him, bringing up a 3rd term like Putin did, likes authoritarian leaders, pardoning criminals that bribed him, threatened war despite running on an anti war platform.

The court and legal undermining is definitely less democratic, those checks and balances are there for a reason. I'm concerned for sure.

Oh I forgot to mention the cult of personality he's built up around him that rejects reality for anything Trump says as fact, that is reminiscent of pretty much every authoritarian leader.
Being concerned about a very real risk is not reddit.

Canada retaliated and he took the tariffs off them

China retaliated and he doubled them

The EU retaliated and he took the tariffs off them

So what's the messaging here? Be white?

Lmao, Bessent desperately wanted the Rmb to appreciate you dumdums, he wanted to Plaza Accord them

if that was the case he would double down against Canada too

it was never about returning American manufacturing, it was always about punishing China

wow craaaazy bro. Libs were right about Trump. Doesn’t really care about the American people.

It does seem very sketchy now that you put it like that, damn.

Also as forex charts go, USDCNY is a pretty stable and boring rangebound between 6 and 7.5 since 2008. USD versus the ruble, now, there's some excitement

My fear is it's only a matter of time until he realizes his red hats are not just a power base, but a militia

It's so nonsensical I don't know how people fall for this kind of thing

Trying to frame this as Trump luring Xi into a trap makes no logical sense if you think about it for even a second.

He literally could've imposed 125% tariffs on China at any time WITHOUT threatening to tariff the rest of the world. If anything, had he done it without threatening the world, China would've actually been LESS likely to retaliate. But now you have China, the EU and Canada all imposing retaliatory tariffs against America. This is literally a net loss for Americans if the aim was really to single out and punish China all along.

This is 4D chess as played by a complete imbecile. I refuse to believe Americans are this stupid.

Imagine actually believing bob woodwards nonsense

USD versus the ruble, now, there's some excitement

It's mostly irrelevant, tariffs have strengthened the Russian economy against currency bullshit. 1 ruble is 1 ruble.

Americans think this is a show of force when it's actually just autistic screeching on the world stage.

I refuse to believe Americans are this stupid.

oh my sweet summer child...

Do they think that everyone hates china because they put a counter tariff on the US? That's kind of retarded

maybe we will if you remove the orange retard and everyone associated with him, one way or another.

He already knows this

it's not

No kys
mutts will just elect another populist retard down the line
Fuck the United States regardless of the clown in charge

all the seething eurotards

...those trips
