He caved because the markets were tanking and the billionaires who helped put him in the White House were coming out against him......and you app.ear to be too...well, I'll be kind...partisan to see it.

Well, it just so happened that his strategy of raising tariffs and then putting a pause on them will work out the best for the US. I guess Trump just gets lucky a lot.

many on the left have accused Trump of blinking or backing down when he gave a 90 day pause on tariffs to countries that have expressed the desire to come to the negotiating table .. but they fail to see the brilliance in Trumps move ! Trump began negotiations with a stick and then offered a carrot to the countries that expressed a willingness to negotiate .. however in the same week he slapped huge tariffs on China for their expression of defiance ! this is a brilliant move ! the 90 day pause is a sign of good will and the HUGE tariff hikes on China is proof to the over 70 countries that Trump will absolutely use the stick if necessary ! Brilliant ! the tariff hikes on China sends the a stern message to the countries that were given a pause that Trump did not blink nor will he back down if they renege on their promises !

Listen dumbass. If you’re going at China you need to line up your allies with you not fucking piss them off. Japan put the screws to us. Japan is one of our closest allies. Trump ended America’s reign over the business world in 80 days. Dollar is plummeting. Our allies are working our deals that exclude us. Trump is the dumbest mother fucker in the world and it will cost us dearly.

At the moment trillions of dollars of wealth has gone up in a puff of smoke both in the US and across the globe. The US bond market is under pressure. Consumer confidence is down as is his approval rating but apparently your thesis is that this was some kind of master plan and is "brilliant". So, by all means let's examine that thesis.

A plan usually means you have a consistent strategy. As far as I can see he didn't even plan enough to know that in certain areas the US is totally dependent on China, mainly electronic components, meaning that he has to show weakness and partially reverse his decision a few days after he imposed what amounts to a trade embargo with China.

As for the "oh, countries are lining up to make deals", first let me tell you. There's not a country in the world that's not looking for ways to decrease dependency on the US as we speak. Sure, some will strike deals. For sure, every single time he does Trump will tout it as the greatest deal in history, just like he did when he renegotiated the deals with Canada and Mexico, only to now poopoo it as horrible deals, and reimposing tariffs. The point is this. Every country which does will know that the US has no interest in holding up their end of whatever bargain is struck.

The US seems to think that it can piss off the entire world, friend and foe alike, without that world trying to find alternatives to the US. The hubris of it all is as staggering as it is dumb. Americans like to think of themselves as exceptional. I think they are going to find out, just like the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, British, and countless other "world powers", both big and small. That eventually the party ends. And it will happen on the word of a reality star game show host who is so wrapped up in his own delusions that he believes he truly is smarter than every single person in the world. A delusion shared by his loyal cult following.

Tabitha explains how Trump is so in over his head he has no understanding of the destruction he's reigning down on America, particularly w/messing w/the bull called China.

She explains how they've been around for thousands of years and they don't care what they have to do to win this, including clips from Chinese officials.

Watch....



America is in deep financial trouble as long as Trump is at the reigns.

I don't think she's actually given the main reasons why the US will have problems winning this fight.

It's 3-fold.
-China is just as convinced off it's "exceptionality" as the US not just it's government but it's people.
-Unlike the US though they have a much more centralized government. A government that has more levers to pull to control the fall out.
-It has a more docile populace that is more used to hardship.

It's a chess game

or a poker game, neither of which Demtards understand.

 

[BluesLegend]

Joe and Dems slept at the wheel while other countries stole 5 million manufacturing jobs from the U.S. Now, would people rather Trump did nothing and let them steal another 5 million good paying jobs or claw some of those jobs back with a tariff war to level the playing field for American workers? Yeah, it's a no brainer.

Anyone who disagrees with jacking up tariffs on these other countries is a communist puke!

The 90 day pause was a direct response to the stock and treasury bond market crashing. LOL. If Trump had not done that he probably would have collapsed the economy. Only a true believer like yourself would praise someone for their quick thinking of putting out a fire in their own house, after that they set it themselves playing with matches.
