China tariffs are now 104%. Forget inflation for a moment—American owned companies are going to go out of business.
This is bonkers!!!

just gotta keep pretending he is a genius contrary to observable objective reality. or else he might get mad and call you names.
Nor the creation of China as an economic powerhouse.
Neither would have happened without them.

terrified. I can’t believe how STUPID 🇺🇸 is! 😢
Drumpf is as clueless as ever
It's hard to believe, but given the facts...
His population is not used to organizing and is not armed. He controls the media.
And he can, with immense justification, blame any downturn on the US.
Does Trump have an exit strategy? Other than personally being forced out of the exit…
They will be fine, USA will not
The vast majority of Chinese people are not in a position to buy cheap treats all day every day
The U.S. military maintains hundreds of military installations, both inside the United States and overseas with at least 128 military bases in 55 countries and territories, as of February 2025.
China has 4 military bases outside the country.
Tighten your sphincters, ladies and germs. Gonna get rockin’ real soon.

You are correct.
I gotta look in to that.
More proof we’re living in a #simulation!

Maybe China plans on bitch slapping him. Somebody has to stand up against him, looks like Xi is.
It's an important sign, and talks will continue toward a trade agreement that could be announced at the US-China summit in July, commemorating the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations.
Investment and growth dislike uncertainty.
This is my concern about the US.
Some are European scientists who want to return, but there are many Americans too.
Empires always dye of pride.
US has new friends Russia and North Korea
He’s all “man* dusted in make up and crowned with hair plugs.
They'll just make it a gig economy like Uber.
You pay a license to take on work which they'll assign to you. And they'll let you accept $2-3 an hour (or the per-item equivalent per item assembled).
"Work as fast as you want and GET RICH!"
I can see it now.
It’s unclear if he can even have sex any longer as there’s rumors regarding his genitalia and experimental plastic surgery.
He is no stranger to body modification, he has taken steroids before.
They want to enslave workers and destroy small businesses.
But it turns out that small businesses are essential to the social fabric, and ruining them ruins the country.

US military will NOT be pleased by having to pay twice as much for dearly needed rare earth minerals.
Be neat if the Chinese Gov only targeted those in retaliation.
He's an awful businessman and the worst president we have ever had.
We should have a new monument: Mt. Shitless. He's the first bust.

Look at anything less than 20 years old. Count how many things AREN'T made in, made of components or chemicals made in, or with tools or equipment made in China.
And that's not a necessarily bad thing. You probably could NEVER have afforded the other
And we'd be FUCKED if we'd tried to survive on our pay buying those things if they'd been made in America, plus we helped the hundreds of millions of Chinese people. I don't begrudge them that.
We did the same to the rest of the world from 1940 to about 1975.
I manage it just fine tho even without Amazon (Agonyzone)
Costco delivers the goods and good policies!
Uniting under the banner of sustainability for all life, prioritizing wealth/power parity for all life.
Stop human addictions like wealth hoarding, exploitative, and abusive social norms.

Americans are in deep shit 💩
"The tariffs aren’t economic policy. They are political weapons.
But as long as we see this clearly, we can stop him.
Public mobilization is working.
Today, a few Republicans joined Democrats to vote against one set of tariffs."

Even sweatshops--where workers only get piece-rate--are better. I do sewing every day.
UNITE HERE! is the union that covers needletrades.
No understanding of economics and no idea how the global supply chain operates.
There are little or no solely manufactured products in any country.
Stalin had 5 year plans!
We can do this even if our leaders decide to kowtow to Trump on terms of trade.
(Food labels in the UK/EU are pretty comprehensive: maybe they can slip US meat into restaurant meals, but it could be damaging for the restaurants concerned when it eventually came to light...)
That’s jobs - direct and indirect - and costs for all of us.
He doesn't give a shit about America.
If American companies go out of business, Musk will buy them.
Musk will have even more power around the world.
It’s for themselves. Not 4 us. Not 4 our country.
Also, Elon knew this too and he has more than made up for Tesler losses with his government contracts so the little tirade is just a diversion.
BEFORE the tariffs they could not afford ($5 wheat, $6 inputs) new large equipment like Gleaners and 40' seed drills: so now not only will their EXPORTS be limited; they will not be able to buy ANY equipment of ANY size.
🚫 🍞 4 U!
CNN reported it could cost $3500 to actually make the phone in the US.
Apple appears to be looking to move manufacturing for US phones, but not here - to India or Brazil.
Incoming "short-term" pain!
There is always a way and we will find it and share it to the rest of the world. They don’t call us “The sunshine state” for nothing 😁. We will never surrender to pessimism nor the fascists. We will always #Resist 💪

Not. Very. Well.
How do you like it when trump shits in your soup? He shits in everybody’s soup.
It's the same economic losses as a full on invasion with minimal cost to the aggressor.
My daughter says obstacles are detours in the right direction. 🤞
We are ALL in the same boat.
The kleptocrats want us hating and fighting each other and distracted while they stuff their pockets.
Qualities required: Strong, not tall, impervious to back pain, titanium spirit.
In Canada, American-style Republicans don't exist.
LITERALLY😳🤐
Feigning ignorance? Just plain stupid?
"deal" and "we will win"...

Trump: “Will they make my birthday a national holiday?”
