@AverageJoe1 saidTrump is a numpty. He is that insecure that the US President is the most powerful man in the world, he decided to test the theory by playing tariff wars. So he hits tariffs on everyone and the global markets tank. He does a 180 and pauses tariffs and the market rebounds, and Trump goes its all about me, I'm the greatest, but in reality, this is the power of the presidency and only a fool would play with that power making arbitrary decisions on a daily basis. The fact that his press secretary provides him cover like a turbo charged version of Sean Spicer and Kellyanne Conway all rolled into one sounds impressive except for the fact that its all a pile of merde.
BOO!!
@no1marauder saidOh. So that changes everything? And are you suggesting that we will not bring China to heel? But if they do cave, then what you just wrote is innocuous, meaningless. We will have them at our will.
Only 15% of China's exports go to the US. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-chinas-dependence-on-u-s-trade/
That's about $500 billion worth of goods; China's GDP is over $12 trillion. So exports to the US are only about 4% of China's economy.
Bet they didn't mention those numbers on Fox Business.
And why imply that the stuff that you just wrote, and all that you write, is not factored in to all that we do with China.
Hey, you and wildfgrass need to get over that you 2 know some stuff that our Administration NOT know. Geez.
@AverageJoe1 saidI'm stating (not suggesting) that you are a blind, gullible fool to believe that Trump has any sufficient leverage over China to force them to bend to his capricious will. The US starting a one sided tariff war with the rest of the world plays right into China's hands; products they sell to the US like IPhones will blow up in price but Americans will still buy them while China will be able to make up any shortfall in US sales by selling to other countries. Your stupid claim that China is at our mercy is sadly mistaken.

@no1marauder saidExactly. You'll either be able to buy an iPhone in Canada (supporting their economy) for half the price, or apple will artificially lower the price of the phone to avoid import taxes. Either way, America loses the trade war.

@wildgrass saidI don't think so. They'll ship them anyway and US consumers will have to either buy them or purchase smartphones from other countries that Trump has put exorbitant tariffs on like India and Vietnam.
No. Xi is a communist dictator. China will refuse to ship iPhones.
@no1marauder saidwait and see, says Trump.

This is not over, either. He will needle Xi to the ends of the earth, and don't be too sure that other countries will buy their stuff and get on Trump's bad side.
Marauder....................................trump owns them, to quote an old adage.
@wildgrass saidThis one says we will lose the trade war. What a misguided herd y'all are.

@AverageJoe1 saidYeah, that's why Trump backed down today.
wait and see, says Trump.

The rest of the world considers him a laughingstock and it's an embarrassment to the US that we have such a criminal buffoon despoiling the office that great men like Washington, Lincoln and FDR held.

I think all of this was choreographed, but I will play.
Tom Brady wants to score a touchdown, by NOT throwing the pass, but instead run it in himself.!! Very smart for his reputation, you see. He makes the other team and 50,000 fans think he is going to pass left.
In HIS mind, he is going to run it, and he does, over to the left, and scores, and beats the Chnee team.
Sportswriters say he actually screwed up,,,,that, he could not find a guy open for the pass, because he 'called the wrong play', so ran in the other direction, and just got lucky. He Did Not Do That!!!!!! He had to change his play!!!!!
h Marauder, what will we do with you. And you cloe with more Sonhouse-eze, with the criminal liine.
Hmmm, lets think....Trump was put in prison, adn Kamal is president. I wont even ask you how our economy and security is going!!!!!!
@AverageJoe1 saidHe already admitted he didn't decide to pause the tariffs until today and cited the jitters in the stock market as a reason.

"Trump said, “Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit out of line; they were getting yippy, you know, they were getting a little bit yippy—a little bit afraid.”
@wildgrass saidSo they dont ship. I will be first to become stockholder in the start up phone makers that evolve. Ya''ll are Chicken Little. Sky is falling!!
No. Xi is a communist dictator. China will refuse to ship iPhones.
Meanwhile 5 to 8 trllion dollars ar being invested , I just cannot typ e all this any more, look it up. Don't you want to know, so you will know whre to put your money?
You omit that chinee people will be out of money. Why omit that. How is sue going to understand what you are saying?
While you all panic, the old way of doing things is over.. He is totally transparent, do you not just LOVE it!??!?!?!
Predictions?? Xi loses his ass if he does not capitulate. One lib said Trump caitulated. Tell me, if Xi capitulates............can BOTH of them capitulate? No, so you will have to pick one.
@no1marauder saidThis one says that when a person goes into a discussion about making a deal, like buying an office building, that he cannot deter one iota from his plan.
He already admitted he didn't decide to pause the tariffs until today and cited the jitters in the stock market as a reason.
"Trump said, “Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit out of line; they were getting yippy, you know, they were getting a little bit yippy—a little bit afraid.”
He wanted to spend max $10M for the building. facts were pfesented, he studied them, and settled on %10.2M.
That is failing to you libs, who know squat?

@AverageJoe1 saidMr. Donald knows what he's doing, he had this planned all along.
It is 1:15 Wednesday., history in the makiing. Check your biz news. Y'all just do not know Trump, and that is a shame. Hate prevails, y'all go for it. The more you lose, the more I will make.
Catch rhe DAM train!!!
This pause is an example of how he is so far ahead of what we and the world think is going on. Market trippled in 11 minutes.
Please get his ta ...[text shortened]... riffs on Everyone Else!!!! Did you notice this morinng that I said that china would be isolated?
While everyone was crying about the DOW, the world came to the table to negotiate and now it's coming back up back up and the USA is better off than before.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidThe DOW is still below what it was when Biden left office. Losing 4000 points and then getting 3000 back is not a win.
