Trump is threatening to jack up tariffs on China by an additional 50% unless Beijing abandons its retaliatory duties on U.S. imports.
Trump in a Truth Social post gave China until Tuesday to undo its 34% tariffs, imposed in response to the “reciprocal” duties unveiled at the White House last week.
Trump also wrote that he will cancel all planned talks with China if they do not comply with his demand.
tRump is about to enter the find out phase, I wonder if he will even notice.
If you’re going to start a war, you better know for a fact that you can win. Trump thinks he knows, but he doesn’t know shit.
The US has a terminal disease: hubris. This is what it’s like to live in an empire in decline.

This is exactly what I thought of Russia after their failed invasion of Ukraine. Generally regarded as a super power prior, they put on display how atrophied their millitary had become by not being able to steam roll Ukraine.
yet europeans are still afraid that russia is going to conquer europe somehow.
They can if they divide us beforehand. Russia’s greatest arms aren’t rifles or shells or nukes, it’s information and sowing dissent in other countries. I am 100% sure Hungary wouldn’t be in its current state if Russia wasn’t involved somehow.
If they win the war, they will absolutely invade the EU.
they’re barely able to advance and even then at very steep costs; their victory will be pyrrhic at best
If they bomb your local city and then collapse does that change the fact they bombed your local city?
i doubt very much that they want a nuclear wasteland next to them nor do they have any history of using nuclear weapons; however europe’s ally does and they’re already in the process of screwing over europe more than russia could ever hope to achieve.
Russia wouldn’t care, because Putin would be able to hide away on some cozy island in Oceania or wherever.
Lol, who doesn’t have a history if using nuclear weapons? The successor state to the nation that regularly tested nukes?
I’m Mostly just worried about nukes and someone on there side will follow through.
russia doesn’t have a history of using nukes against another country, but europe’s ally does and they’re already in the process of screwing over europe more than russia could ever fantasize about; nevertheless russia is still the key problem somehow.
Only by sheer luck that one crew didn’t follow instructions.

that would have been an accident; not a conquest.
OK tankie, you going to say the supression of the Hungarian uprising was an accident next?
Why would Trump care if he wins?
As he has for most of his bankruptcy laden past, he’s largely playing with other people’s lives. He’ll be fine, and he enjoys inflicting cruelty on others for its own sake when he “loses.”
The US has the terminal disease of hubris, not Trump. Trump is just insane. But the US elected him as their leader and the electorate as a whole can’t plead insanity here.
There are far too many parallels that this shit has with the Weimar Republic. I’m working on contingency plans.
Their giving me tit folks.
I’m giving them tat, the best tat, beautiful tat and their giving me tit.
It’s very bad.
China should respond with a tariffs system that jumps randomly between 34% to 1000% for US goods every hour. Tell Trump it is all run by AI now, and it takes into account Trump saying thank you in mandarin. Say it is just medicine.
it should always be double what trump is dishing out, if he says 50%, china will increase it by 100% on top of whatever tariff was there before.
He’s trying to crash the market. This dude needs to be removed from power. He’s an absolute moron retaliating like a 5 year old child.
I didn’t vote for this, i just wanted to hurt gay, trans, black, immigrant, libs and all the other people i was taught to hate but not this, no sir.
He never said this was the only reason Trump needs to be removed from power.
Not happening. Who’s gonna remove him?
Don’t worry, I’m sure Congress will spring into action any moment now. Yup, definitely any moment…I mean, what’s the point of even having checks and balances if they won’t check or balance?
Hang tough China. God Fucking Dman I never thought I would be saying that.
lol this is gonna be hilarious to watch. He thinks he can play geopolitical economic chicken with the PRC…? Like… what…?
I’m dumping the majority of my domestic investments and reallocating to foreign stuff. I hope all the conservatives continue investing in Tesla as it crashes 🤗
He is mentally unwell if he thinks this is a viable strategy. China cannot be bullied by the USA.
cant bully someone thats a bigger bully
More like you can’t bully someone bigger than you.
Bullies like trump don’t understand that.
Until they get punched in the face real hard
I don’t think trump’s flabby face has ever had that adjustment. Well, not since his parents abused him.
Because of course we now do official government comms via a fascist echo chamber app, perfectly normal state of affairs.
