I had my doubts but Trump is actualy genius.
He fumbled announcing the tariffs on purpose, making it seem he's doing it on a whim and antagonizing everyone. He knew China was going to take the bait and was going to be the first to make a move against him, then WHAM! The tariffs are paused.
Now China is all alone, no other country in the world has any reason to go against the US of A. Everyone is going to desperately butter up to Trump while China loses any potential ally they may have had.
based
US imposes +10% tariffs on everyone
PRC has 0% tariffs on everyone
See... this will actually... make people trade more with the US and less with PRC because...
Genius
hah nah. they freaked out about the bond market imploding overnight and just did this to save face.
youre brown
If Trump wanted to impose a 125% tariff on China, he could've just, you know, imposed a 125% tariff on China and not done any of that other stuff
The bond market didn't implode it went up shortly then back down
He got China to commit to a game of chicken. A game China can't win unless all the other countries are committed. So he pulled the rug out on them
But how would he have made a mistake and backpedalled, where would the cope fit in?
This is why erratic bluffers make good poker players. It's hard to deal with and be rational. That's why most people fold
You can call it cope or call Trump a pussy but he's won the trade war by backing off. China is more isolated than ever while Trump has literally every other country beg him to negotiate.
He isolated China... but making it harder to trade with the US...
MAGA, I guess.
You wouldn't get it
A game China can't win unless all the other countries are committed.
Lol China would have had the exact same response. Just like Canada did who is far more reliant on the US than Canada and just like the EU did.
And then everyone clapped and you woke up.
Yeah no live is not how you want to
There you go /x
It was a trap to force other countries to pick between uniting against the US via tariffs with China as the leader, or bend the knee and negotiate with the US against Chinese interest.
The chinese communists party prioritize image above all else, so they can't back down and bend the knee. Their economy is struggling with deflation, the housing bubble burst, and domestic turmoil. They can't win this.
China will be forced to choose between global supremacy or domestic stability. Ronald Reagan forced the USSR to make the same decision. How did that end?
China's more isolated than ever
How? The rest of the world is still happy to trade with China. It's just you guys having the melty.
BTW. : you NEVER heard about the former shanghai five,.. Am i right?
Most of you don't know.
Chinks retaliate because they can't compete on a level playing field. Chinks only know aggression not negotiation. It's over for them. They have been exposed to the whole world.
Damn you US guys take a lot of drugs.
Based
only good chink is a dead chink
GGGGN
The negotiations will take within the 90 day pause and every country will try to please Trump because they know he can just slap the tariffs on them again if they show disloyalty.
Trump put a 10% global tariff, neutralized China, and they love him for it.
Yeah, the desperate will accept becoming american vassals anyway. Everyone else will turn to rational, stable business parters.
The weight of your frankly retarded opinion is dwarfed by the fact that the USD is weakening in times of crisis, just as interest rates go high because of incoming inflation.
what country is that?
im going to rob you bitch i might kill you
It was a trap to force other countries to pick between uniting against the US via tariffs with China as the leader, or bend the knee and negotiate with the US against Chinese interest.
No country has yet offered anything "against Chinese interest" due to Trump's tariffs, and there is no indication that they will. The fact that Trump keeps 10% tariffs in place on everyone indicates that there will be no grand anti-China customs union with the US
Their economy is struggling with deflation, the housing bubble burst, and domestic turmoil.
Deflation just means they have plenty of space for monetary stimulus to compensate for the loss of American demand.
What domestic turmoil?
They have a housing bubble burst but that doesn't seem particularly serious
Note that China's exports to the US are less than 3% of China's GDP
The US had the lowest tariff in average before Trump
It's not really a game of chicken. Exports to the US are less than 3% of China's GDP, so it is perfectly tolerable for China if bilateral trade between the US and China simply ceases.
Never forget pic rel
Trump is a genius. I'm so tired of these jobless incels saying "Oh drumpf is so stupid!"
No you stupid incels. You're the stupid losers who have done nothing with your life while Trump keeps winning.
and your a tranny loving faggot. melania is a tranny. faggots
China can still dump American bonds into the market collapsing the dollar.
US niggers think they control their weaponized dollar, but China has the ammo.
dumb faggot.s
BASED they panicked and overreached and will get GIGAKEKED as a result
Jfc man, did you have a dildo of Trump's mushroom dick to suck on while you typed this shit?
I guess you retard didn’t realize there’s still 10% tariffs. Trump is a genius lmao
This is all just a game to manipulate the markets and profit from puts, shorts, and buying the dip
China gave like 100 countries 0% a few months ago
This is all just a game to manipulate the markets and profit from puts, shorts, and buying the dip
I think that's what the big investors were doing over the past week. I don't think its what Trump was doing.
Trump is a genius because he's crashing the markets to cause flight into treasuries
Bonds are dumping like shitcoins too? Uh...it's fake and gay numbers
WOW LOOK TRUMP PLAYED 54612D CHESS AND BACKPEDALED
It was planned all along... MIGA!!!
Did they offer military security and reserve currency too?
China is not at alone. In fact most other countries will pivot to China because they see the USA as too unreliable.
He needs to raise Chink tariffs to 10,000% and start sinking their boats, chinks need to get their heads caved in for fentanyl crisis and Covid terrorism
Dump the bonds? Good we don't want them to take our debts. But who will they sell our bonds in the billions and debts to? Americans? other foreigners?
Trump just destroyed any possible trust in the US. Every country right now is looking how to start the de-dollarization. You are too unstable
This was a pump and dump. Also, one of our biggest trade partners is effectively embargo'd because theres no fucking way anyone is trading at a 125% price hike. Not as apocalyptic as what was going to happen if he didn't cave, but not *great* for the consumer. If the play is to gather countries against China in a trade war, the states will have to drive a hard bargain to get enough people to comply. I don't think everyone forgot what happened to Zelenskyy in the White House, the EU funding rugpull, or the annexing Canada biz, and that's not mentioning Trump's unpredictable tariff policy. Our global reputation isn't the best it could be right now.
that doesn't even make sense
if trump wanted to impose 6,000,000% tariffs on china he could, he doesn't need china's permission to do so
going back and forth on your allies doesn't help you even if you pause or lift the tariffs, it just makes china look like a more mature, reliable trade partner
No other country on earth could do this to China. The EU and Japan couldn't do it. The US can, and secretly all the other countries that have been ripped off and scammed and had their IP and technology stolen by the CCP are on the side of the US. Nobody likes or respects China. Ask Kora, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Mongolia, Taiwan, and Tibet.
lol
only occupied cucktries would still side with you
yes and yes.
first one is a joke in your case as the houthis have shown - at most a protection racket
Be migger
Watch Trump fumble and blunder
Spend your time making excuses for him and doing mental gymnastics to make it make sense
You people are know liars, Chang. ASML+Zeiss don't want their valuable engineering stolen by you so you can reproduce their work for 1/3rd the cost and destroy all their hard work. You people have zero shame. All the shame left to Japan and Taiwan and Korea.
He fumbled announcing the tariffs on purpose, making it seem he's doing it on a whim and antagonizing everyone.
Its amazing how the left and Trump's various enemies like China still believe this
It was the same shit years ago
Everything the man does is meant to seem stupid to catch his enemies off guard and yet he ALWAYS come out on top
Trump is literally a genius and one of the greatest leaders in human history
He's up there with guys like Augustus Caesar
Lmao 1 at moving goal posts
Lmao 2 at military security after threatening Canada and Denmark
Lmao 3 at Le Reserve
