The Dumb Orange Fuck Has His Trade War

[henryp]

I think the tariffs could have been a good thing if we had a competent president who worked on smoothing things over instead of bragging about it on twitter and acting like he's some paragon of manliness for having set them.

You've got it backwards.  The crazy motherfucker gets the concessions.  

China doesn't want a trade war.  Just like NK doesn't want a nuclear war.  They rely on the US being the 'adult' of the situation that says "Well now, this is bad for everyone.  So we'll back down."  With nuclear tensions high, Trump called Kim's dick small on twitter.  

From China's perspective, it looks like Trump just steering the world economy into the ground is on the table.  That's a great bargaining position.

No he doesn't 1) China with the balance of trade surplus have the whip hand. The US need the goods, while there are plenty other countries which China will sell them to. 2) Look where the tarriffs are hitting the US, all items China can source elsewhere but all goods essential to the Midwest economies. China have hit Drumpfuck country deliberately knowing it will only hurt Drumfuck himself (same tactics were used by the UK to great effect in the 1930's economic war with Ireland).

Why are people mad at a trade war with China? 

Because it'd bad for the economy 

They use human rights violations to undercut the competition with shit like slavery.

Which a trade war won't resolve 

Democrats should be supporting this. "Chinese rights are human rights! Trade war is on!" Maybe find some charismatic 8yo chinese boy to speak on their behalf. And Republicans should be "Hey if slavery works, maybe we should rethink our position on it. Can't blame them for out innovating us."

Supporting a badly thought through policy that won't benefit anyone and will simply isolate China more .

Trumps got you all thinking backwards.

Nope Trumps has me thinking this will not work and will make things worst

No it is not it's the crazy bastard who makes shit worst 

China doesn't want a trade war.

But if backed into a corner they will fight one and they will fight dirty 

Just like NK doesn't want a nuclear war.

But if Kim feels his regime security is under threat then he will 

  They rely on the US being the 'adult' of the situation that says "Well now, this is bad for everyone So we'll back down."   

Bullshit acting like an adult is the only reason the Korean peninsula is not a radioactive crater. trump lunatic antics are what will get America fucked .

With nuclear tensions high, Trump called Kim's dick small on twitter. 

Yeah lot of good that did . And before you say it . Trumps school boy antics had fuck all to do with his trip to NK . And Kim will play Trump like a circus monkey . It was South Korea not acting insane that lowered the tensions .

From China's perspective, it looks like Trump just steering the world economy into the ground is on the table.  That's a great bargaining position.

If you want to cause drive them into a panic and make them resort to extreme measures to protect their economy . If your goal is "fair trade " then this will not get you their .

Playing chicken with the global economy is reckless and stupid.

We'll have to wait and see what comes from a trade war if that is what ensues. 

We don't need to wait . It's clear as day . Trumps going to fuck up and everyone else is going to pay for it .

I happen to think it will bring China to the bargaining table.

Then your not very bright . Instead it will push China to extreme measures and hurt both economies.

As far as why so many religious Americans are pro-Trump, it's for the same reason so many non-religious Americans support him. They like his policies.

No they don't understand his policies (because their are non to understand ) It's anywhere the wind blows .

That's an interesting theory, Wallym.  Let me ask you this.  When you're at the store and you don;t want to pay the asking price for an apple..what do you do?  Shit on the register?  Assault the bagger?  Burn down the store?  Slash your own tires while screaming crazy shit about apples and how numbers aren't true?

Shit on the register.  Weird you got that with your first guess.

The US need the goods

The dipshit WalMart shoppers who voted for the Orange Shitgibbon in large numbers need the goods.  Wait until the Dollar Store becomes the Five Dollar Store and you'll hear them screaming.

Uhem.

The Chinese President never needs to win another election, ever, neither for his own ego nor for the security of his dictatorial position which trump no doubt fantasize about during eac of his Big Mac fueled masturbation sessions.

The Chinese President just need to make it painful enough for trump to lose the election, and he will reap the fruit of having stared down the USA for the reminder of his president for life term.

What Dollar Store do you shop at? We have so-called Dollar Stores all around the area where I live and I've yet to find one that actually sells anything for a dollar. They've been five dollar stores for quite some time now.
