What is driving this trade war?

[Mac1958]

What is the one (1) consistent common denominator in virtually ALL of Trump's relationships? The ONE thing he will ALWAYS complain about?

It's about how he is "treated". If he feels he has not been "treated" well enough, he gets angry and acts out. This is something that is happening in his head alone. He is the one who decides on the spot if he's being "treated" well enough. If not, here we go.

So in this case, he has obviously felt for decades that he has somehow been taken advantage of by other countries. That they're getting the better of him somehow. So now he's responding in the only way he knows: He's attacking without looking at a bigger picture. He attacks, sees that the results are bad, and then changes course.

I know that Trump's fans think that they'll see a clear, tangible and material difference in their lives once Trump has exacted his revenge on all those countries. The sad thing here is, on balance, they will not. There are larger issues that influence the vector of an economy.

His personal need for revenge is putting us in far more danger than any benefits we get from "winning" this:

Did you make that up all by yourself?

Do you really think that dear Old Trumpfy the President cannot tell the difference between a Plus ( +) and Minus (- ) sign ?

Now you be a good little boy, get back to your classroom and ask teacher to explain all about Cash and having No Cash .

Have a nice Chat and then next you might see how grown ups split this thing called Tariffs into Cash and No Cash situations and results .

But stop worrying, . It's not as difficult as you think .

One of the shining moments of this whole mess was when Trump asked, "who signed these awful deals?", referring to deals he himself had signed.

We've become a terribly unserious country at a terribly dangerous time.

Aug 2, 2019 — President Donald Trump told an Ohio audience Thursday that China is footing the bill for the massive tariffs he's slapped on foreign goods coming into the US.

“Don’t let them tell you, the fact is — China devalues their currency, they pour money into their system. Because of that, you’re not paying for those tariffs. China’s paying for those tariffs,” the president said, hours after announcing the new set of tariffs on Chinese goods. “Until such time as there is a deal, we will be taxing the hell out of China.”

They only know what they're told in their world. I think Trump still believes that it's the target countries who are paying the tariffs.

TRUMP BLINKS

See how silly you are making yourself look , Nutty Nancy. .
Have a nice rest and come back when you feel that you have something sensible to say .

Don't worry . Most people are very stressed these days and you Lefty Mutants are taking a terrible pounding .
But to be honest , you do not deserve sympathy -- look how soppy your highlighted post is .

Trump called a cabinet meeting after walking back his tariff plans. It might as well have been held in Moscow​

Just a day after President Trump backtracked on a disastrous tariff policy that sent global markets into turmoil, cabinet members lined up to massage the president’s ego with sycophantic language that would make North Korean newsreaders blush.

“I think that what you have assembled in your vision is a turning point and an inflection point in American history. And so just being a part of that is the greatest honor,” Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, said, after calling the president “family.”


Attorney General Pam Bondi told the president his favorite fairy tale about the election and sought to rewrite the Constitution on the fly, implying that he should have control of the U.S. government’s budget, rather than Congress.

“You were overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority,” she said, repeating a lie that the president has often told. “The Americans want you to be president because of your agenda, and the courts are ruling that you have the authority to determine how the money of this country will be spent. That's what the American citizens wanted, and that's what they're getting,” she said.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick was keen to make the president feel better about his capitulation on tariffs on Wednesday by assuring him that many as-yet unnamed nations are trying to negotiate new trade deals with the United States.

“They have come with offers that they never, ever, ever would have come with but for the moves that the President has made, demanding that people treat the United States with respect. We're getting the respect we deserve now,” he said.

LOL..................

The finest group of communist ass lickers ever assembled

You know what men do, Mac?

I mean real men?

They unfailingly protect their own. Viciously, if need be.

We know the politicians you prefer are not real men and so only protect flimsy things like their pocketbook, their invite to the best parties, their reputation.

I don't know who in the world is making that bizarre connection for him. I assume it's just one of his sycophants just supporting whatever the hell he says with bullshit.

We are in a war with china and wars always exact a cost on both sides

I think it was Winston Churchill who said that truth is the first causality of war

Trump is not being entirely honest about the economic pain Americans are going to feel

But trump haters such as Mac1958 are not being entirely honest either as he parrots the chinese argument

The US must decouple from china while we still can

Trump for all his personal faults is acting in the best interests of America

And that drives trump haters like mac1958 completely nuts and into the arms of the CCP

Holy shit. Well, there ya go.

This is what happens when authoritarians surround themselves only with sycophants, people who will never disagree. And then, they'll stop giving him any bad news in fear he'll get mad at them. His world then just gets smaller and smaller and smaller.

The world has seen this over and over and over.
