That they saw him in a positive light till their pockets got hit says enough bout them

Trump's Trade War, that's got a nice ring to it. Can't wait to read about it in retrospect one day

I say, absolutely. yes.

scroll to the end of this short until trump starts speaking, all the proof i really need

It's hard to tell what the f*** he's actually trying to do.

Is this just a pump-and-dump move?
Is he trying to pressure China into stopping their currency devaluation?
Is he trying to provoke the Fed into cutting rates (something he’s been pushing for forever)?

Maybe it’s all of the above.

Will he back down once the billionaires start leaning on him more and he caves under pressure?

I honestly don’t know with Trump and maybe he doesn’t either. Feels like part of the issue. He seems mentally ill.

The long-term consequences could be massive if he doesn’t back off.
Then again, maybe it’s not the worst thing to move toward a world where the U.S. doesn’t run the global order—especially after decades of abusing that power and showing no signs of stopping.

Biden already did serious damage to the U.S. dollar’s global standing with his Russia moves.
This? This will feel like a shotgun blast to the chest if it keeps going on.

Global markets hate uncertainty more than anything and this 90-day pause feels less like a step toward resolution and more like a tactic to prolong the chaos.

I'm definitely not an economist or anything, but I’ve read a lot of books on the subject and the history of economies. So I find this way more fascinating than regular politics.

White House Officially Moves to Begin Deployment of Military Personnel for Missions on US Soil

(c) The Secretary of Defense may determine those military activities that are reasonably necessary and appropriate to accomplish the mission assigned in Executive Order 14167 and that are necessary to protect and maintain the security of military installations, consistent with section 2672 of title 10, United States Code, and the longstanding authority of a military installation commander to exclude persons from a military installation, as recognized in section 21 of the Internal Security Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 797) and 18 U.S.C. 1382.

(d) In carrying out activities under this memorandum, members of the Armed Forces will follow rules for the use of force prescribed by the Secretary of Defense.

Electronics make up the bulk of our imports from China

This guy is a f***ing moron

Another xi W

Fake demon

He folded

The greatest businessman on the planet folded…. Again?

Let that be a lesson for anyone that retaliates against this great nation! #ArtOfTheDeal

Within 24 hours we will get some explanation calling it 4 d chess like every other time this happened

This dumbass had the switch 2 delayed for nothing. Well hopefully this means the price tag is the same.

Masterful strategy to announce you’re something so people retaliate then you drop the original thing so they drop the retaliation and then go “look at everything I’m achieving”

This was a pretty bad failure that unintentionally gave Beijing valuable intel on how quickly U.S folds under economic pressure. One could conclude that all talk about trade cutoffs, harsh sanctions or blockades over Taiwan are clearly a bluff. This was the best stress test and Trump voluntarily de-escalated the most important sector (tech) after 3 days. The pain hasn't even kicked in yet

This is all going to inevitably lead to a Trump-Xi Summit that discusses several aspects of their relations like the Panama deal and TikTok, but if i'm China, Taiwan is prob #1 on my list to see what concessions can be made. The Panama Canal stuff Trump's team is weirdly obsessed with have to be exchanged for something valuable

Video Game consoles are exempt form this (for now)

Bring back the 1800s
