Summary
China has shrugged off the latest U.S. tariff hike, dismissing the Trump administration’s threats as a “meaningless tariff numbers game.”
Donald Trump’s move to impose tariffs “wiped trillions of dollars off Wall Street” and raised duties on foreign goods, claiming to bring back U.S. manufacturing jobs.
A White House fact sheet announced tariffs on some Chinese imports would rise to 245%.
China’s Commerce Ministry said the move “fully exposes the fact that the United States has become irrational” and vowed to see the trade war “through to the very end.”

facetiously:are people this stupid?
reality:yep
Shart of the meal 💩
China can live without us. We can’t live without them. Go into a Chinese house and remove all the items made in the USA. Now try that in an American house and tell me what’s left.
If Americans see one empty shelf, there will be weeping and panicking in the streets.
What are americans going to do? Stop buying Chinese crap?
Once amazon warehouses are empty the tariffs are gonna be „paused”. In trumps own words „he has no cards”.
I hope Trump holds long enough for the release of the next iphone
China manufactures most of the products from US companies. As we also see now, Chinese companies promote the idea of buying from the manufacturer directly instead of the middle man like “Why buying the Nike shoes for 80$ if you can get them from us for 5$.”
Trump is an unserious president
He’s just getting extra silly with it.
within projecct 2025 is the alientation of all foreign trade due to “internal security”…should i quit now?
These cultists are trying to ride the 80 year old wave created by the atom bomb.
I can only picture Xi Jinping swimming through a pile of rare earth minerals like Scrooge McDuck, while a call from Trump rings, unanswered.
Trump has already lost this war. The war he started because he’s stupid as fuck. He’s going to die before he sees the results of the chaos he reigns.
Have you seen him recently? Sometimes he neglects the orange deck stain, and his skin is grey and ghoulish. I swear if he didn’t have some necromancer keeping him alive, he’d have died 20 years ago.
But but but the DR said he’s perfectly healthy due to all the strenuous golf we’re paying him to play
Trade Wars Are Good And Easy To Win
~ Sun Tzu, War of the Art of the Deal
They’re not good, but they are easy to win…if you have all the manufacturing facilities and are okay with plunging your country into depression for the sake of absolutely no benefit whatsoever.
Wait, what’s the definition of “win” again?
wow grandma you look really different than I remember you!
The AI slop machine got Trump’s name right, but whiffed entirely on the author of the book.
Wait you mean Tow Glhvartz didn’t write it? Next you’re going to tell me it isn’t “Domale’s inside look at his lime of fomim sun thant the om curayer”
Still i’m kind of impressed that I glanced at this name and it felt right to me.
Trump kinda has a Lloyd Bridges look going on, on that front cover.
“By then my lungs were aching for air!”
So now we see whether Trump gives in or makes up bigger and bigger numbers. “900%! 1,776%! A BILLION PERCENT!”
If you raise the tariffs to a billion percent then the US will get a billion dollars revenue for every $100 TV that comes from China! There will be so many millions of billions!!! Why wasn’t anyone smart enough to do this before???
Kinda like the trillions we’ll make from golden visas 🙄
They know he’s full of shit and even if he foolishly proceeds he will destroy the Republican Party’s electoral prospects for decades, lol. The only question is whether they do a military coup to retain power.
he will destroy the Republican Party’s electoral prospects for decades
Nonsense. Go spend some time on The Federalist, or the New York Post,or r/Conservative, or their pitiful “satire” site The Babylon Bee. They don’t live in reality. The real world is completely irrelevant to them. They could lose everything because of Trump and still think that their woes are the fault of woke Marxist liberals (an oxymoron, I know, but they don’t).
Trump has the lowest approval rating in history with independents
All five of them?
The diehards are not persuadable but not everyone in this country – or even a majority – is willing to lay down their lives and their livelihoods for Trump.
