Chinas reign of bullying the World via lying, cheating, stealing, manipulating currency and child labor…all the rest of it is over. We are watching MAGA greatness in action doing what no other World leaders had the guts to do. Trump has them by the balls and not even squeezing yet. They play ball or we will collapse them and give the business to others.
The US may eventually win this unnecessary trade war, but China is going to play the long game. It may be painful for them, but the US only makes 15% of their exports, so they can probably outlast Trump. They also have bond leverage.
Trump acts on impulse, there is no long term plan. In the interim, the American people will be paying a 125% tariff on imports from China and 10% from everywhere else. Massive US inflation is happening in the next few weeks and it is Trump's fault alone.
Trump could hade made methodical strategic moves that squeezed China and brought them to the negotiating table. Instead, he pissed them off and they are going to play it out long term to spite him. Americans will suffer. Manufacturing won't come back until Trump's intentional chaos stops, but his ego won't allow him to stop.
Buckle up America. Maga voted for this so we all get to suffer while they try to blame someone else for Trump's stupidity and praise his genius destruction.
China doesn't have a long game. They killed that when they murdered a few generations of little girls.
Their population peaked in 2021 and they are already declining and projected to be under 800 million by the end of the century.
In which we remember the endless firings in Trump 1 as anyone with any honor or expertise was systematically eliminated in favor of weaker and weaker and ever more degenerate. McFarland was hired in March and fired in April.
McFarland was fired because she said a basic truth: Russia interfered in the 2016 election on behalf of DJT.

Trump 1 Scandal Blotter
Almost every one of these I've been posting every day is worse than anything that happened during the Obama or Biden admin. Dozens of them. Probably get to hundreds. Ok, not the spicer one.
A double today. First, main flunky liar Spicer has to apologize for saying Nazis didn't use gas against individuals.
And we find out that Amnesty Don tried to get DOJ to stop with the Trump-Russia counterintelligence operation. Or in the spirit of his first impeachment, just *say* the Bureau was not investigating him.

President Trump allegedly asks FBI Director James Comey to announce that the Bureau was not investigating him.[71]
The ILLEGAL aliens literally have no right to be in the US. You are a moron.
The constitution was written for American citizens. It begins "We the People of the United States..." Not "We the People of the world or any *sshole who can get inside the borders.." As always you're 100% wrong and completely unaware of it.
From the Trump v. J. G. G. opinion:
“It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law” in the context of removal proceedings.
From the Noem v. Abrego Garcia opinion:
That means the Government must comply with its obligation to provide Abrego Garcia with “due process of law,” including notice and an opportunity to be heard, in any future proceedings.
The amazing part is that his understanding of science is even worse than his understanding of Constitutional Law. How can one person be so confident and so wrong about so many things?
(Don’t give me any whatabout garbage. I’ll readily admit to a lot of stupidity from Democrats and stupidity and awful politics prior to 2015. The vast majority of politics has gotten dumber, and it’s been accelerating, since Trump’s ride down the escalator).

yes that's your one thing and it has nothing to do with Obama or Biden. Some junior deputy undersecretary nowhere near the White House committed some petty crimes. And you use that to excuse the massive scandals of Amnesty Don. I know. It's hard being so stupid but you manage it!

Some stolen t shirts and bermuda shorts is not exactly scandalous. That's kind of the point - if that's all you've got....
Meanwhile Trump has an open drug dispensary in the White House. Staff can walk in and take any drug they want. No paperwork. No Executive Order. No questions asked. All paid for by U.S. taxpayers. . . . Trump is White House Junkie #1.
I call the above drug theft. Trumpers call it ? ? ? Butt!!!! Democrats!!!
“Consumer sentiment plunged 11% this month to a preliminary reading of 50.8, the University of Mich. said in its latest survey…the 2nd-lowest reading on records going back to 1952. April’s reading was lower than anything seen during the Great Recession”

How unsurprising that you don't understand the Garcia decision.
Hi ZeroCredibility. Please do explain how what I quoted was not in the Garcia decision. This should be even better than that time you failed to explain P values.
p.s. Why don't you explain the Garcia decision, since you're apparently the only one capable of understanding it.

Who knew that Trumps secret plan to end the war in one day was to do it by slightly irritated tweeting on his toilet?
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Russia has to get moving. Too many people ere DYING, thousands a week, in a terrible and senseless war - A war that should have never happened, and wouldn't have happened, if I were President!!!
Musk 2024: DOGE will cut $2 trillion Musk March 2025: DOGE will cut $1 trillion Musk April 2025: DOGE will cut $150 billion In FY 26
Musk will cut…..TBA
Musk will cut….TBA
Important to remember that they gutted the IRS so billionaires can avoid paying taxes. Revenue will go down bigly. Tariffs are a yoyo of implementation, so who knows what money will come. Well. We know that people will pay millions directly to Trump to have a private, off the record dinner with him to get a special deal that is also off the record.
It appears that you do not know how to provide a counterpoint. Explain how bonds work, and points listed are incorrect. Best.
Here is the original post starting this string:
"China just needs to sell its U.S. Bonds to crush the U.S. They are the #1 owner of U.S. debt. The U.S. would have to cough up over $800 billion immediately if China sold it all. The problem is that the U.S. $800 billion in cash in the bank. So, U.S. defaults and the dollar implodes."
To which I replied:
"I don't think you understand how bonds work."
Of course, my response was 100% correct. The US would certainly not "have to cough up over $800 billion immediately if China sold it all." That is simply not how bonds work.
Everything you posted in response indicated that you either did not understand this fundamental point or you did not understand what you were reading.
How unsurprising that you don't understand the Garcia decision.

What mechanism do you think the court has to force a foreign country to release that dude?
Don't be so quick to celebrate Democrats. No, the government is not required to bring back the MS-13 gang member. It is only required to attempt to bring him back so he can go through the immigration court process, once the district court clarifies what it expects the government… pic.twitter.com/CVr8YRt1fu

China doesn't have a long game. They killed that when they murdered a few generations of little girls.
Their population peaked in 2021 and they are already declining and projected to be under 800 million by the end of the century.
China's long game is already mostly in place. China has invested about 40 trillion USD in building out its electronics manufacturing infrastructure over the past 30 years. They were able to do that with the strict capital controls in place in China. Chinese citizens are not allowed to invest outside of China. They are instead forced to invest in Chinese companies. The remainder of the funding comes mostly from Chinese printing of Yuan to finance the massive investments in infrastructure.
If the US invested 2 trillion a year for the next twenty years, it would be just enough to start (yes START) making smart phones. That is because there are over a thousand points on the supply chain for smart phones. You don't just build a smart phone factory. You have to build over a thousand factories to make a smart phone.
So, China understands that the US is bluffing in a big way when Trump talks about reversing trade deficits. And China has started turning to all the countries Trump pissed off to source the goods that China currently imports from the US. China has banned LNG imports from the US and is replacing them with Australian LNG. China has turned to the EU for soy beans and other agricultural imports. This means that US consumers will see prices for everything from iPhones to computers to refrigerators double or triple in the next few months while US farmers will face bankruptcy this fall if they are not able to sell to China.
China can weather this storm because they have a command economy and can just direct everyone's savings to keep the economy afloat while exports to the US dive. Trump is going face ballooning deficits because the US economy is going to go into a steep recession. Capital flight from the US to Europe is causing the bond market to crash. Borrowing costs for the government to finance the deficit are going up and higher interest rates will keep the economy from being able to emerge from a recession.
