"China lashes out"
Did they also "slam" home the fact that this is quite literally a world leader directly insulting the people of their closest rival? The bad news writing mixing with clown world politics is why all this seems so unreal to people, we are talking about a collapse of global world order but this reads like a TMZ piece.
I mean isn't Trump's penguin tariff plan to make American peasants instead?
They are so laughably bad at this stong man act. They talk politics like either a particularly stupid playground bully or a guffawing British colonial moron from the time of the empire.
Also, I suppose it would help if your opponents found you even the least bit intimidating
Poor man's idea of a rich man,
Stupid man's idea of a smart man,
Weak man's idea of a strong man,
Coward's idea of a brave man,
And a moronic voter's idea of a President (or Vice-president in this case).
Does he have to be an asshole to everybody? Even the way he speaks is like he talks down to people, it's just so cringe.
There goes the already remotely slim chance of any tariff negotiations. There is now a negative chance of China giving in.
Yep. China is not gonna lose face by negotiating. They're gonna go all in to fuck the US over now.
China wins this war in a landslide.
USA needs China: walk into any American home, and it'll be minimum 50% China-related goods.
The reverse situation, American goods in Chinese homes, would have a tough time approaching 10%.
In over 50 years, I have never seen a worst accounting of ourselves.
Our leaders, elected officials, are absolutely corrupt, inept, and eaten up with greed . They are diseased in their souls.
They need to be jailed , now.
Does anyone believe he does not see American citizens as peasants, too?
Those “peasants” are going to weather a tariff war far better than the “peasants” in the United States who are not used to the hardship and scarcity that will result.
One of the most frustrating things about the current US administration, is I keep having to side with China. wtf is going on when we can no longer even get together to hate on an external trading partner? When the enemies are not at the gate but in the keep? When I have to agree with actions to punish my own country as well earned and expected?
Maybe the enemies aren't the ones we've been made to believe. Our homegrown capitalists export jobs to the "peasants" then they turn around and say to the jobless - look, the peasants took your job!
Rising tensions with China? I was told that's what the Democrats were going to do if they won. 🤷♂️
Beyond him being an idiot and a racist and evil, who the fuck talks like this?
He called the UK and France "random countries" when dismissing their importance to mutual security agreements.
He talks like a 4chan dipshit. Which he probably was. Even if he is completely blocked from power for the next four years, just having this moron one heartbeat away from the Presidency has done truly horrific damage to the respect and prestige of the Office.
If by some miracle Trump steps back from the tariffs and the concentration camps and the blatant authoritarianism and the wholesale destruction of the federal government, the damage to America as an idea is something that none of us will live to see undone.
...I hate laughing at the downfall of my own country, but we definitely had it coming. I guess Chinese is the new lingua franca. Anyway, can someone help me understand why "Ma" in Mandarin means both weed and mom? How do I buy weed in Beijing?
