We were cleaning Chinas clock economically. Many predicted they would surpass us by now, and they haven’t. But this tariff stuff will close the gap. Idiots

The worst part of this is that nobody's going to tell Trump that he's made a gargantuan mistake. In fact he will double down. He will look for scapegoats and lie and ignore reality.

It's interesting how they built the most sophisticated high-speed rail system in the entire world in about 20 years, and ours are rusting away and tipping chemicals over into fields pretty much every day.

Did you read the piece on Huawei campus by Friedman in the NYT - be worried about China. So this twit just tanked the North American economies and is destroying the integrated auto and agriculture sectors.

Trump needs to be in the middle of media coverage each and every day. It’s his life elixir. And he wants everyone to have to come crawling and begging. And he will lose big! What a dumbfuck!

China could just stop all exports to US cold turkey. How many US businesses would be shut within 24 hrs? Thousands. Walmart and Amazon would be begging for help. China "has the cards" this time. T miscalculated bigly.

It’s because of big US and global corporations that china has the cards. They handed it to china so they could get rich. People kept in poverty so they consume cheap goods made in china. Even some of Maga merchandise is made there.

All of it combined - the attack on education, the economic attack on America's allies, the massive reduction in the federal workforce, the removal of USAID - China is certainly going to pull ahead, in every possible way.

For sure. Did uou read about their new reactor? How about BYD? Some clown dick saying we are ahead of China is dreaming or just has their head in the sand. FORD says they are going elsewhere for manufacturing. Sure manufacturing is coming back? Oh and the OHIO plant delayed. It'll be ok.

You have had a non functioning democracy 50 years. China has lifted 2 billion people out of poverty in those 50 years. China has 50% private 50% government type of corporate structure and a culture that puts community in front of self. Nothing is perfect but capitalism always concentrates wealth.

I thank God for the ethical and courageous politicians, spokespersons like you (which are too few and far between) who stand up and speak out. By doing so, you give us not only courage to do the same, but give us hope for our democracy! Thank you again. I wake up in fear…Your words and matter!

trump and the oligarch minions are literally driving their trading partners right to China. China and russia are laughing at trump and America so hard right now. It's up to the silent majority republicans. If they don't act soon they will be surplus to trumps requirements. Do your job or resign.

There are things that once broken can never be fixed. This isn't just going to close the gap, this is going to crush the US. Someone tell me that this isn't the goal, or that Trump isn't a Russian asset.

They're not "idiots." This is all on purpose. They likely will sell the idea of tariffs, sales taxes, and flat taxes to the masses by saying they will diminish or even eliminate federal income tax, especially progressive income tax. The wealthy will get substantially wealthier.

My opinion of Trump Tarriff Speech today, it was hard to watch, but needed to be talked about none the less, the lies, and complete defilement of America in untruths! He was given the best economy our nation has seen in years and everything Trump is experiencing is by his own hands and terms.

How many years did you support giving absolute power to the architects of this moment? I would like you to take responsibility for what YOU did to help get us here and a sincere apology. But that isn’t likely to happen because you are not in fact repentant.

Does he really know what’s going on? It’s as though he is and always has been a destroyer! America is taking a few hits from this guy in the WH, but she/we will press on and prevail! 🤷🏽‍♀️🙏🏾🇺🇸

And bring all American allies a step closer to China. China is an autocracy but it is a predictable and stable autocracy while usa is unpredictable and unreliable . None of us needs to like China, or live in China but doing business has become more sustainable

But he has the best people and they are bottom of barrel last resort yes men asskissers all losers and extend that into Congress. Lemmings to the cliffff

(I gathered that most of the people in it were the sort of educated anarchists that make revolutions, but that beside them there were financiers who were playing for money. A clever man can make big profits on a falling market, and it suited the book of both classes to set Europe by the ears.)

Republicans chose to run a pussy-grabbing convicted felon for president Trump is the epitome of conservative values. NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN. Remember, even Kinzinger voted against enshrining the right to vote for all American citizens.

But they won’t dare inform El Grande Orange Caudillo that Biden’s economic moves were pushing China back. He’d rather fire all of them for the implication. Spoils the narrative, and would make him look weak and feckless.

Europe, Canada and Mexico will now trade a lot more with China and each other ... and leave trump with just expensive domestic production... So good luck! It seems you need it.. with an idiot as president...

It’s sick they still have the America first mentality. China has grown the last 50 years while we have been duck taping our infrastructure. More homelessness here and more inflation. This OP isn’t getting it.

No, they are debt trapping Africa and other developing regions with crappy infrastructure that starts falling apart almost immediately or trying to repossess Capital infrastructure when poor countries can't repay them. They are just a different brand of predator, without the quality control.

China was HEAVILY dependent on its house-of-cards real estate sector for growth. Even more than we are. Once it collapsed it dragged their whole economy down. Apple moved production to India. And don't believe their propaganda about infrastructure and education. China is struggling.

I'm not saying that I would want to go there. I'm saying China is always playing the long game & would be smart to try every which way to scoop up all those decades of research brilliance. Sadly, Europe has pivoted to building armies. I WISH they would swoop in to save science.

Criminal Trump & the corrupt Republican controlled Congress are increasing 4 trillion in tariff taxes to give Elon Musk & his billionaire friends a 4 trillion in financial benefits. Take away $ from middle/working-class to give to Elon Musk & his billionaire friends.

Question of the day, what assets did Trump and insiders short recently? Short, announce tariffs. Long, rollback tariffs. Rinse and repeat. Politicians were doing this in the 1890s.

Let's remember something here musk is heavily invested in China,trump will under the table,behind Americans backs make a deal to ease the pain that might be inflicted on his pal,do not be fooled he spells it out in his book,!!

It wouldn’t be too bad if the Orange Turd had picked on China alone but taking on THE WORLD with historically the highest CONSUMER TAX ever on imports is RIDICULOUS. The IDIOT has outdone even himself with this monumentally stupid action.

China will dominate the century ahead. Simply by the number of patents they are filing, which is massively more than the US, this is a great predictor of future economic activity.

Republicans have always been idiots at handling the economy. The last four US recessions occurred under... republican presidents. The coming second Great Depression will take place under your... republican president. Imagine that.

The fear of China. Especially AI is stupidity. National security product ms and systems need to be manufactured in the USA. But for the most part we are a widget society that consumes media . No one’s learning multiple Chinese languages to watch Netflix or even Fox News. Sigh

I wish I were better at predicting the future. I've failed so many times at the prediction game that I've stopped trying. Surprise me--and that's sure working!

The GOP sucks at the economy. The numbers have unambiguously proven this over time. Combine that with their rampant stupidity, racism, and utter lack of morality and here we are.

Exactly. I am an importer. This was a very stupid move if the goal was to beat China. I said it in 2018. We can’t go at China alone we have to go with our allies. What did Yamtits do? Also attacked our allies. He is literally repeating history but even worse.

I am also an importer. I have been arguing with MAGAts trying to explain how tariffs work with no success. It is not about closing the deficit. Importers pay to federal government when a container is released directly. He will collect this tax as soon as tomorrow.

We are the first sale. I deal directly with the factories I am importing with and the OEM I sell too. Currently trying to wade thru what tariff will be applied to what. Customs people are going out of their minds.

Much more serious is the brain drain:all that medical research/scientists brought people the world over to r hospitals/universities were a positive on r balance sheet. Now gone. Other countries will snatch them. They won’t come back if every 4 years they’re in peril of being fired again. Stupid

We will reduce the quantity we buy from China, which will make more low priced goods available for everyone that now hates us. Seriously, the Trump era could also be called the Stupid era.
