Trump and the U.S. are officially in a trade war with China. Here’s what you should know. - ThreadSky

💪

If Trump and his merry band of sycophants were serious about restarting US-based manufacturing, they would've invested towards rebuilding dormant/dismantled factories before beginning a trade war to increase inflation and make that goal unreachable.

What trade war? Mr. “Art of the Deal” has already capitulated. The Chinese are kicking his fat ugly ass.

I think DEMS need to introduce a bill that requires businesses to identify and display certificate as trumplican backers so I can easily know where NOT to buy/support their livelihoods like they continue to supporting his/theirs.

Call the Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121) every day and ask:

Why isn’t my Senator/Representative calling for impeachment?

When the president tramples the Constitution like a Nazi thug, the Congress’ job is to impeach.

We need more moral courage.

Trump is actually right though. Americans will be way more willing to pay for $10,000-$15,000 iPhones, made in the good old U.S. of A. You just watch! It's going to happen! 😆😂😜😅

Trump doesn't bother to educate himself on tariffs. Nor does he educate himself on China. We need China more than they need us. Check out this map.

Trump has no plan. The Trump whisperers are looking forward to a third term—because it’s fun and funny. Entertainment value and voters think that THAT is governing.

reply

bellabluehere.bsky.social•12 days ago

China can make and buy its own stuff. The USA would need several years and many billions in investment to build a fraction of China’s production capacity. For now, someone other than Trump holds a lot of cards…but the American people will pay the price not him so not caring?

The U.S. shouldn't exist.
It's a parasite.
And it's run by conglomerates and religious extremists that only care about capitulation.
It's a sitcom.
And it's not funny.
It's disturbing now.

It was always about China. The fear of China overtaking the US in economic and military terms has been haunting US politics for decades. In the 80’ies Japan was the bogeyman and now it’s China. The US wants to geve hegemony and sees it threatened. And that’s all there is to it. It’s China.

Secretary Reich,
Thank you for continuing to fight for America and our democracy!

What happens if the US bond market collapses?
Stock market also crashes?
The #FascistGOP, Trump and #fElon are destroying trust in the USA as a safe investment, I fear a deep recession/depression!

Trump is at war with the whole world, at least that's how the rest of the world feels. And 4 years is a loooong time to be hoping for sanity to prevail. New trade agreements will be signed without the US, global supply chains will adapt, maybe even the USD monopoly in global trade will fall. 🤷‍♀️

If it’s a trade war, Trump should be court-martialed for fratricide.

The problem with starting a trade war with China is that China can out last America. They can even outlast Trump. This is like Trump challenging Kipchoge to a 10k run.

reply

bigtentsocialist.bsky.social•12 days ago

We should also probably know why we’re in a trade war with China. It’s not so that manufacturing jobs will come back to the US in great numbers. That ship has sailed.

reply

lgbtally.bsky.social•11 days ago

Jobs might not come back in great numbers, but America could certainly re-industrialize with automation and leapfrog everyone else. Elon Musk alone could pay for it. The rest of the billionaires could help.

reply

bigtentsocialist.bsky.social•11 days ago

When we get to this level of automation society will be completely changed because the jobs that we do now will also be gone.

bigtentsocialist.bsky.social•12 days ago

People say it’s to weaken China as a geopolitical rival to US hegemony (which may not work, or even be desirable.) Probably it’s just a way to create phantom US government revenue that can be sold to the far right as reducing the budget deficit.
