It’s so weird hoping that China tears America a new ass hole.
Fuck him up Xi.
It feels a bit like the fat bully in the playground picking a fight with the weird asian kid who is actually a kung fu black belt.
It might shock Trump to learn that most of the shit American’s like to buy comes from other countries, and no one really likes to buy American stuff. Wild.
This whole situation is just embarrassing and scary, as is the entire Trump presidency, but I’d like to point out that the US exports a fuckton of goods and services around the world. At least, the US used to export a fuckton of goods and services around the world.
Yeah. I’m hard pressed to think of any physical goods of American origin that I would have in my home. I have noticed grapes and mandarines from the US at the supermarket but definitely no household items.
You’re right about services, like digital products and software. In my own personal case there isn’t much but I don’t think I’m indicative of Australians generally.
I think this is why the Australian government chose not to implement tariffs. We buy American things like airplanes and microsoft windows. There’s no substitute for them locally so what would be the point of a tariff ?
I was thinking about buying a Schiit headphone amplifier (no joke on the name!), now the USA can get focked.

Even if people like American stuff they’re not getting paid American salaries to buy those things.
I really like some Peak Design products I bought last year but those were quite expensive for me.
China will squeeze the Tariff-wokism out of Trump.
China is very much aware that this is its moment. Position itself as an alternative to Trump’s chaos that isn’t afraid of him and offers a different path.
Militarily, China is outmatched by a wide margin, but combine economic strategy with diplomacy in the face of a superior rival’s extreme, unforced mistakes, and China is seeing a path to win the 21st century without having to fight.
No, there will absolutely be a fight.
The moment Trump fully realizes how incredibly he’s lost, he will immediate switch to military threats to save face.
He has no choice, it’s one thing if the American economy collapses, but his ego is at stake here!

Nukes evens the playing field. US don’t even dare touch tiny nuclear armed Nkorea. china already said they will fight to the end.
Not gonna lie, kind of rooting for China here
I’m rooting for the EU. The only ones here who aren’t being dicks.
They are being limp dicks alright, still talking of compromise and not escalating. How do you compromise with crazy?
Nah, it’s good.
When you have to deal with insane assholes, especially narcissists, you just talk with a calm voice, while ignoring them and doing whatever you want.
They can’t process it because they can only see drama and you get what you want before they figure it out.
But China will not root for you. It follows its own interests and gives a shit about human rights. It is no better than what USA has become. It just seems to be more stable and reasonable.
How can they ? Trump has cancelled negotiations.
Anyway, he’ll just change his mind tomorrow. Or sign an agreement and then renege on it.
Some of you might lose jobs, home and even die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to take.
China has the advantage that they still have the rest of the world to make business with.
GO CHINA GO!!!
On the long term, the US won’t work without Chinese products and markets. It will not be funny for China, but it will seriously hurt the US.
The difference is that in china, they see tarifs crisis as an opportunity.
We buy a LOT more from China than they buy from us. In a protracted trade war, we will lose badly.
I honestly never thought I’d be rooting for the PRC over the USA… but here we are.
These are very fucking weird times, fellow meatbags.
This makes no sense bro. At least the US has a potential path to return to a different president/congress in 4 years, since it has a constitution that grant rights to everyone.
Bold of you to assume that we’ll actually have elections in 2028, much less fair ones.
Yeah but turning China into a democracy will be harder than returning the US to what it has been, a constitutional law-based society.
Based simply off of your naïveté, I feel like you don’t live here, and that you don’t understand what’s happening here, or the context of what led us to where we are now.
Yeah I am a concerned euro watching across the Atlantic. But the ideals of your founding fathers live on in your constitution and legislative branch, which can get the system back on track, right?
Lmfao have you seen how feckless our “opposition” party is, and how enthusiastically the regime party is enabling orangeboi?
I’m legit expecting the balkanization of the US in a few years. I’m not exaggerating. I was born here, grew up here, and live here. I’m starting to lay some groundwork for short-notice emigration to Europe. Our courts and legislature are effectively captured by the fascists at this point, who are also in charge of the executive branch. This place is falling apart in a meaningful way, and it’s going to get a LOT worse before it gets better - if it even can get better, and I’m not convinced it can.
China will kick the Tariff woke-ism out of Trump
