Im talking about the diversity of their export markets. Now only 16% of their exports go to u.s. US would need help to completely topple them. Good luck getting that after putting 10% tariffs on all your former allies.

That was to stop the back door selling thru another country.   Dirty commie cheaters

Stood their ground, like I said they would. Trump now imposing 104% tarriffs. 

These people don't put up with bullying. I hope they take this to the hilt and NEVER BACK DOWN!!!! 

Chinese people and leadership: if you are reading this, I want you to know that most people here no longer support this clown. I support your right to fight back to bullying. Also, many right-wing legislators are talking about striking down his tariffs since Congress is supposed to control this. OPPOSITION INTERNALLY IS GROWING. He is WEAK!!!!

I think you should retaliate yourself, AGAIN. 200% TARIFFS ON U.S. PRODUCTS!

Bud, the John Stewart one is a TERRIBLE one to be bringing up...NOW.

 

Where do you think Trump's approval rating has gone the last 3 weeks?

(I really don't follow which sites you guys consider legit or not other than the clever nicknames for CNN and MSNBC, so if you don't like that one, even Rasmussen has him falling proportionately the same). 

I'm not sure if anyone realizes how...incredibly moronic Trump went about these. He could not have handled any of this worse. Though, it is amusing how Trump got as much credit as he did for...slowing down his bungling of this!

Jimmy, stop it. Again, you're just repeating BS you've read online. 


No, that's...not what happened...at all. We put them on Japan, Australia(arguably, our most important ally given Pine Gap and how vital that is to US intel). 


We did that for no discernible reason other than Trump thinks tariffs are a good way to raise money. If I need money... I don't just start charging friends and people who rely on me. It's... well, it defines Trump perfectly.

My problem is that my tax dollars get sent over there and, yes, they're evil.as hell. They kill innocent palestinians like it's nothing and constantly and illegally take more land. They've grown significantly since 1948. By force 

Palestinians use terrorist tactics but they have no choice. Israel has u.s. taxpayer funded 21st century weapons while the Palestinians basically have sticks and stones. 

Let Israel fend for itself. They didn't need to be handed by force a " Jewish homeland" You will ALWAYS have problems when you displace millions of "inferior" people so people from a,different specific race or religion are "more important." 

Expand  

That's done, that's over with. There is an Israel. Palestinians had the choice of dealing with it and makin their own state or... continually going to war with an ENTIRE REGION on their side vs Israel.

They choose War. They lost land. They wanted that land back. 

They didn't get it. So they choose war again. Lost more land. They got some of that land back.

They didn't get it. The US started negotiating with allies, coming up with peace treaties. Camp David and the Oslo Accords being the two most significant. 

 

They continue to go to war. They continue to lose. They continue to think they should get a do-over. Not how that works.

Lmao. China can import food from and export to any other country. Like I said, they'll be 100% fine unless other countries join Trump. Nobody is though. Nada. Zero. 

Yah, it's painful for them but Xi won't even talk despite Trump begging him to "make a deal." 

We're the (or we were) world's reserve currency and China isn't. We have a lot farther to fall and you're seeing that. Dollar is collapsing. Xi sees the blood in the water and is ready to feast.

They export trinkets and shoes and things that can easily be manufactured in Vietnam or elsewhere.

We export things like Semiconductors that the rest of the world needs.

All accomplished over the years with u.s. weapons. All the murders and land grabs. 

They're parasites. They do nothing for us. Just take our money and use it for their murders and power grabs. In the middle of the muslim world.

Then people here act shocked when 9/11 happens. Well we will probably get nuked eventually because of them. The hatred of the u.s. in the Muslim world is 100% understandable.

A lot of trinkets but not all of it. For example, rare earths minerals 

China can get what they need if u.s. is the only country they are at war with. Including semiconductors.

You really think Xi is gonna back down if nobody else is coming to Trumps side on this?

They really can't. 

And people aren't coming to "Trump's side." They sided with the United States. 

 

India refused to put tariffs on the US. Japan, South Korea. Those were the countries China needed them. They're working with the US. 

You really have this grandiose picture of China and this inferior picture of America. 

 

America was stupid to go after EVERYBODY. But everyone did see what happens when trade with the US is threatened. You keep saying "nobody else is coming to Trump's side," and that's just...not true.

Is anybody else putting tariffs on China though? Just because they're working w the u.s. doesn't mean they are joining our side vs China. 

China can hang in there until at least 2029 (even though I still think trump runs into major problems by early 2027 anyway). No catastrophe for them if u.s. is the only big country putting big tariffs on them.

You may want to look into tariffs that other countries already have on China.

100% irrelevant.  Biden increased tariffs on China too. This is a full blown trade war though, and we're all alone now. 

Trump showed more weakness today by exempting Chinese electronics. Xi is laughing. Entire world is laughing at that fat and weak idiot.

I don’t think you answered the question.   Please do so.
 

I also think more Ds become Rs.   Do you recall the popular vote a few months ago ?
