More than 50 countries have reached out to the President to begin tariff negotiations

LOL
Just LOL

Does making America great really hurt you that bad?

I can speak for myself.

I would rather not be great under the submission of the world to my countries righteous shifted BS demands. Like Greenland. I don't want to support hostile takeover politics for my own betterment or even some stimulus refund. I don't like the ideas presented.

I have idealic thoughts too. Ones of global citizenship, eroded borders, and financial interconnectivity. Like what The EU tried or even UN sans the ingrained holy war. But what about world greatness? It's easy to imagine if you try and have the spirit of pretentious hippie. Im not giving it up.

Quite honestly, your belief of what entails greatness conflicts with mine, and I feel that is worth noting, even when engaging the most basic and hive-minded baiting possible to reaffirm my position.

Your greatness has too little free thought and too much executive directive for me. It just gives me migraines to watch, it's like everyone has a "what would Trump do" bracelet on and... ich glaube nicht, dass ich mich selbst oder das, was ich vertrete, mögen könnte, wenn ich mich dem Personenkult anschließen würde.

German euphemism for "he has a Hitler-esque personality cult that scares the shit out of me."

In 2013 China held 1.3 trillion in US bonds (I worried then)...

I suspect the time to rely on that as a "definitive weapon" is well over-stated.

And, I will risk repeating myself...  this is the surface of the story... not the body.

What ideas have the Liberals presented? What ideas did Kamala Harris present when she ran for president?

Global citizenship and eroded borders? No thanks.

You obviously don't know it but you are in a personality cult.

#BREAKING: China has announced that it is willing to negotiate tariffs but they will continue to fight to the end if the United States refuses to compromise

Cool, still wondering how much money was made by a specific few today? I mean, glad the tariff thing seems to be a bunch of super awesome smoke and mirrors 4D chess being played by Trump. Not that's it's important or anything that he potentially manipulated the stock market so a few people could make even more money and widen the class division. China though....

So you think that is what this is? 

So what's theory cause he lost his ass the first term, and now the most watched and investigated President is going to scam the world for how much on the market for a day or 2 there are gains there but they arent that huge. 

It makes no sense...

[Mantiss2021]

Why wouldn't it make sense?

"Wash Rinse. Repeat", right?

Trump made a post on his "Truth" media this morning, just before announcing the tariff delays, saying that it was a "good time to buy". Many are claiming that this "conveniently coincidental" post was tantamount to "insider trading". Which would be illegal....Unless you could claim that you were acting in your " official capacity" as President to try to calm the Nation's fears. An action for which you would be immune from prosecution. 

Making a few million bucks through your, mandated, blind trust holdings is just icing on the cake.


Trump stated that he paused the tariffs today (temporarily) because " people were getting yippy" about bond sell-offs.

Given that China holds a significant amount in US bonds, Trump has (inadvertently?) tipped his handling regard to negotiating with China: China can threaten Trump's economy by manipulating its US bond holdings.

so is trade war target china because retaliation china hack in us government spy system backdoors and steal lockheedmartin secret alien drone tech prototype data build their own and fly haha over cia last year? plausible deny ability.

edit haha credible evidence ai no eyes to see:

The idea that trade tensions between the U.S. and China are influenced by cybersecurity issues, including hacking and intellectual property theft, is a topic of significant discussion among analysts and policymakers. The U.S. has accused China of engaging in cyber espionage to steal sensitive information, including military technology and trade secrets.

The specific claim about China hacking into U.S. government systems and stealing Lockheed Martin's drone technology is more speculative and would require substantial evidence to be confirmed. While there have been numerous incidents of cyberattacks attributed to state-sponsored actors, the details of specific hacks and their outcomes can often be difficult to verify publicly.

Trade wars can be influenced by a variety of factors, including economic competition, national security concerns, and geopolitical strategies. The U.S. has implemented tariffs and other trade measures against China, partly in response to these concerns about unfair trade practices and intellectual property theft.

In summary, while there are legitimate concerns about cybersecurity and espionage in the context of U.S.-China relations, specific claims about incidents would need to be substantiated with credible evidence.
