What is driving this trade war?

Just like pollution, climate change, and Covid have no respect for national borders, financial and economic imbalances that originate in one part of the world are also transmitted globally:

Trade wars are class wars | MarcoNie.
"The central argument is that trade wars, although ostensibly fought between nations, are rooted in the conflict between the working class and the elites, regardless of their national origin. In the authors’ own words:"

There shouldn't be any doubt about which side Trump was born into and still supports, but apparently there is :rolleyes:
It's all happening right out in the open, too.

Imho, so many different things happen right out in the open every day we are losing sight of the forest for the trees:

Trump’s Trade War Is Also a Class War

"Trump is very explicit that he wants tariffs to replace personal and corporate taxes, with tariffs as the main source of revenue.

"As such, tariffs are a sales tax, of a particularly regressive sort.

"I talk to Marshall Steinbaum, an economist at the University of Utah, about how tariffs fit in with Trump’s larger social vision of a plutocratic society, something that can also be seen in how the White House is cracking down on student debt holders."
 
It sounds like you want to be one of the prison guards at the concentration camp after china takes over
That will never happen, so I do not worry about it. I am in favor of a harsher criminal justice system in the United States than anyone is talking about.

The amazing thing is that poorly educated, poorly paid white people usually support Trump.

You shouldn’t criticize them for supporting Trump. They think he’s their only hope, since the D Party has turns its back to the poor and working class. Of course we know they’ll ultimately be disappointed.
 
We need each other. I have made a point of buying goods imported from China for decades I do not see how I have been harmed by that. The key board I am using to type this, the screen I am reading this on, and my mouse were all made in China. They are less costly than comparable products made in the United States would be. They work fine.

Tariffs are the recourse of countries that cannot compete in the international market place. I look forward to the day when China achieves world hegemony, and the United States is dominated by a high IQ cognitive elite composed largely of Jews and Orientals.

Orientals have average IQs of 106. Whites have averages of 100. Have you sat in a class room or worked with Orientals? They performed well, didn't they? The success of democracy in Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea tells me democracy will work well in China and North Korea. The twentieth century was America's century. The twenty first century will be China's century. :yes_text12:
If "orientals" were as smart as you think they are, then the major technologies we have today would have been invented by them. They, and everyone in the world, has electricity, automobiles, trains, planes, TV sets, etc Computers,, recording devices, telephones, etc, because these things were invented by whites, when China & Japan were 3rd world primitive countries.

China has depended on the huge/lucrative US market. That is finished, and China's manufacturing days are over. Serves them right for paying their workers so little money. Lousy wage slavers.

For most of my life, almost all products were made in USA. That s how it's going to be again, and it's long overdue.

His policies are designed to serve their interests. Also, he doesn't constantly express his contempt and hostility towards them, the way libs do.

So.... yeah. You keep voting based on toilets.

Like lowering prices by raising them with tariffs. I can see how MAGA would be fascinated by that.
We've had you people pegged for decades now....I believe Spiro Agnew called you guy's "Nattering Naybob's of Negativity" back in the 70s.... :laughing0301:

It's pro-job trade policy. That's an attempt to serve our interests. It is one thing for you to disagre with us, but your NEED to disrespect us for wanting our interests addressed,

is just you being a classist bigot.

How do they turn their back to the poor and working class?

That’s what I don’t get. This economy has plenty of jobs. Or it had them, at least.
 
How do they turn their back to the poor and working class?


In every way. Let's count a few.


1. Constantly expressing their contempt for us.

2. Attacking the very idea of policy to serve our interests.

3. Supporting racist policies that discriminate against the majority of us.

You’ve never heard how Republicans talk about poor and working class? The poor are lazy and greedy who don’t deserve higher pay.

The poor are welfare queens always looking for handouts.

That’s why they’re going to be cutting Medicaid and every other safety net program they can.

I've heard a few make comments like that, nothing like what we get from the left.


AT this time, even on this very site, EVERYTIME, I try to argue for policies to serve the working class here, lefties show up and attack teh very idea of doing that, AND will attack the working class PERSONALLY,

AND at some point, attack ME personally, assuming my personal failures, which is quite amusing and stupid of them.


That is an UNIVERSIAL template for the left today.



The few examples from teh right, on people getting too full of themselves, is nothing compared to that.

AND, it is really important to consider that on the RIGHT, we had a serious debate on these issues and the assholes representing that mindset, LOST BIGGLY.
