Imagine if China decides to cash in all the U.S. treasury bonds they own.

marc55.bsky.social•18 days ago

They did. Go look at the graph.

And real estate, especially in Manhattan.

Farmers of America, call your Representative and Senator, and then call your bankruptcy attorney, in that order.

Lightweight US Treasury Secretary Bessent so desperate right now

He's realizing that Rex Tillerson was right.

great reminder

RT reportedly referred to Trump as a "moron" during a private meeting, which contributed to tensions that ultimately led to his dismissal in 2018.

For the first since anyone can remember, farmers crops will rot in the fields. There's less immigrant labor to do the harvest, farmers are priced out of foreign markets. Fertilizers have massively increased, costs will go up and up!Rural towns will be decimated. Golf anyone? #Trump #Tariffs #Farmers

And the rest of us will be bailing out their Trump loving asses again. I grow what I'm able and can/freeze what I can't save.

Not only is China not letting Trump grab her by the pussy, she’s rounding up support against him by entering into discussions for agreements and alliances with his other victims.

inquisitivetoo.bsky.social•18 days ago

Here in Australia we might actually see a heap of cheaper products as a result. (Christmas presents for example, for some brands, might well be cheaper for us here.)

nazishmunch.bsky.social•18 days ago

If the rest of the world calls his bluff and forms alliances and doesn’t buy his cryptocurrency, it will be rocky but alright.
For Americans who didn’t vote for him, it will be a different story.

marleenmeijers.bsky.social•18 days ago

Who would want to buy his $lumpf? 🙄

Trump is mistaking China for some kind of trade union rep from Passaic, NJ that he thinks he can intimidate for some kind of better "deal".

It would be tragically comical if WE weren't the butt of this joke. 😟

glengirl.bsky.social•18 days ago

Next US response ? One billion percent?? Getting really stupid now. Wake me up when someone off Trump and Vance please.

abrasivetea.bsky.social•18 days ago

I feel like when the market hits 30k the bourgeoisie will make sure that Air Force One has some problems like all the other planes recently

levrainheart.bsky.social•18 days ago

I'm not sure if it's right to react so impulsively to any behavior or action that seems like insults to you.

applechunks.bsky.social•18 days ago

We are all expendable collateral damage to Trump's long term goal. King of the world.

Congress. CEO's. Elon. Governors. STOP HIM.

Our lives are not his toy or experiment.

Someone should tell liddle donnie that he’s not the owner of the world and he better play nice or else the other kids are gonna take their ball and go play with someone else.

Not to worry. Americans don't buy Chinese goods, anyways. Oops.

wojciechmiq.bsky.social•18 days ago

German engine manufacturer Deutz passed the full cost of the "Trump tariffs" on to American buyers.

China will not cave. They have their pride and dignity. They can keep playing this game way longer. Trump is too full of him self to see that. But the bro's around him should have known.

mixitupdeedee62.bsky.social•18 days ago

Just awaiting Tangolinni's response to the 84%

theleftygator.bsky.social•18 days ago

Chaos
Chaos leads to fear
Fear leads to mistrust
Mistrust leads to division
Division leads to tribalism
Tribalism leads to protection
Protection leads to anger
Anger leads to war.

marleenmeijers.bsky.social•18 days ago

Fear is the path to the dark side

Lol indeed.

China and the U.S. are so reciprocal to each other that so they will no longer trade their goods. 😟

tonshoutwerk.bsky.social•18 days ago

Great. No more Iphones. No more minerals for the muskrat. No more of a lot of things the US doesn't have but need.

swimmer14.bsky.social•18 days ago

We said this in the beginning to MAGA people: Trump will collapse the world and bring more wars...we are only start to seeing that...

sauravkvaish.bsky.social•18 days ago

China will end up forming alliances with EU and other big asian countries like India. There is only one loser in all this.

elialda.bsky.social•18 days ago

There will be other countries joining BRICS; the dollar will lose relevance. China will position itself as a world leader. Start learning mandarin.
