China are going to make him go to them aren't they.
And no pomp, ceremony or fuss, he's going to have to just rock up, sit at a table and then feck off back home.

His hands are not big enough for the task at hand - holding the cards!

Trump deserves to be humiliated. And none of the lavish praise his sycophants bestow on him will lessen the embarrassment he will feel because we all know he’s a loser as does he.

And as time passes, and product that was stocked up starts to run out so that the tariffs actually start to be felt...Trump's hand will get worse and worse.

Irrespective of what Trump does, China 🇨🇳 is divesting itself of reliance on the US market…oil from Canada 🇨🇦, Soya from Brazil 🇧🇷, Boeing contracts cancelled…EU 🇪🇺 deal looming…the orange mob boss will bankrupt America 🇺🇸!!

Nah. But it does mean peak America is behind and Noel's DOGE will fail, 'deficit and debt' increase to keep average Joe on a soup kitchen survival life.

China is playing the cards like the EU and UK also should.

Trump and all megalomaniacs are in for eye opening treatment.

Trump DOES hold the cards.

It's just that Xi holds a straight flush while Trump has Mr Bun the Baker, Mrs Chip the Carpenter, Miss Grumble the Grocer and Master Musk the Perfumier.
