I just wrote that Trump is unpredictable. He has paused all tariffs for 90 days to all countries except to China. Which he has upped to 125%.
[b]Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter![/b]

EU Komisar was in talks with China coordinating a response, let's see how that works.

They have a thousands of missiles to throw at Saudi oil refineries for months before "Iran gets cut off"

Even Pentagon officials admitted their strikes did not penetrate the Houthis deep enough

Houthis are not Hezbollah who live within a peaceful Lebanese community and have to worry about the other peaceful Lebanese (Christians, Druze, Sunnis and secular). Houthis are the kid in school you will beat for 2 hours and he will still be shouting "You go kill me today"

Saudi bombed Houthis incessantly for 7 years with every weapon made available by the Americans, same weapon Americans are using now and MBS finally had to give himself sense. Houthis were holding back and just the one time they go greenlight from Iran, they knocked out half of Saudis oil production


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi-led_intervention_in_the_Yemeni_civil_war
Never compare Saudi bombing with America or Israeli.If America decides to bomb you , better say your last.

https://www.axios.com/2025/03/30/trump-iran-nuclear-deal-bombing

If they don't agree to a deal their nuclear facilities might go up in flames At this time the Iranians 4 S-300 defence systems were taken out by Israel ,so Iran is pretty vulnerable.
The good thing about Trump is he is unpredictable, noone is sure what he will do next while he is offering you a way out

For instance noone thought he would up the tarriffs in China to 104%.
Shark Tank” star and investor Kevin O’Leary says President Trump’s tariffs on China aren’t high enough and calls for a 400% tariff on the country. “It’s time to squeeze Chinese heads into the wall "

Hey, SpaceX, Andorid17 and Basilico.
If ultra Trumpers like Kash Patel and Pam Bond are not investigating, talking about, and prosecuting people for what you have been raving about for years, whether it be the "stolen" election, 5g in Covid shots, the corrupt FBI, mind control chips in oat milk or whatever distraction right wing media has ginned up at the moment, it is definitely a phony conspiracy your mind has allowed you to fall for.

There is no deep state, Trump is the deep state. Republicans own all the branches of government and every means of investigation.
If there are no perp walks for any of these things, you guys should just shut down your accounts.

Just a friendly public service announcement.
Gaslighting again. The deep state is the entrenched bureaucracy that runs DC. The Federal agencies, the judiciary. I can also throw in the bankers and the Rothchilds to make you feel good

Comproboko boy, when I tell you something, just take it as gospel. It's not by beating chest, Saudi is extremely vulnerable to the Houthis having supported the Sunnis against the Houthis for 7 years and got trounced. They bombed the Houthis till they were tired and they still lost to those zombie whitewalkers who still took out half of their oil capacity and will do so again if Saudi no mellow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abqaiq%E2%80%93Khurais_attack
Houthis who spend 25% of their water growing Khat are just religious zealots fighting a religious war. Against the Saudis uta a 1400 war between the Shia and Sunni . Iran also fighting for supremacy attacks Saudi using the Houthi.

When both Sunni and Shia are not fighting each other , they go for other religions..
A Houthi soldier who is killed by Americans is a martyr. Accorded high honours by their society

Iran is the head of the snake, Reagan bombed Iran and they dindu nothing

Most of the posts from MAGAs on this thread about these tariffs have been similar to this.

The argument that somehow tariffing China so that things like Iphone production can come to the US will allow people to work 1 job takes a special amount of Economic illiteracy to make.

At least take some time and think through the idiotic things in your mind before you pen them and put it on full display for to world to see.
You can blame inflation, but how many people work more than one job to make ends meet.
What percentage of Americans actually save money?

1. Chinese Yuan being all time low is not necessarily bad for China, especially at this time of Trade war. Most time China deliberately bring down the value of Yuan. The goal is to make Chinese products cheaper for exports.

2. Of what use is an economic team to Trump when he believes he knows more than the experts and he alone can solve problems?

3. Yes China/Chinese exporters don't pay any tariff to Nigeria and no country pay any tariff whatsoever, but importers of these goods pay the tariff and the cost would be passed down to the consumers. Make no mistake about it, no West African nation charge as much as Nigeria on imports. Or why do you think cars and other imported commodities are cheaper in Cotonou and smugglers takes big risk to smuggle these goods through our porous bother? The problem with many Nigerians is that they prefer imported goods to 'show off' even when better qualities are made in Nigeria. But then it's their money, if they can afford it, let then flex it. But be rest assured the Government collect heavy duties on these imports. Nigeria Customs brings in one of the highest revenue to Govt after oil revenue, despite all the corruption in the system.

4. Don't mistake over bloated ego for balls.
Trump already has a position about reversing the trade imbalances. That's why voters went for him.
His close team if advisors are people

Scott Bessent, nominated as Treasury Secretary, is a hedge fund manager whose wealth is estimated in the hundreds of millions, though some reports suggest he may be a billionaire. His exact net worth is unclear due to limited public disclosure, but his financial success is well-documented.

Howard Lutnick, nominated as Commerce Secretary, is the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, with an estimated net worth of around $2 billion.

Elon Musk, co-heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is the world’s richest person, with a net worth exceeding $400 billion as of late 2024, driven by his stakes in Tesla, SpaceX, and other ventures.

Vivek Ramaswamy, also co-heading DOGE, is a biotech entrepreneur with a net worth of approximately $1.1 billion.

Kelly Loeffler, nominated to lead the Small Business Administration, has a combined net worth with her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, estimated at over $1 billion.

Paul Atkins, nominated as SEC Chair, is reported to have a net worth of at least $1 billion, largely tied to his family wealth and business interests


These are people who had "a meeting of the minds " with Trump. Not just employees working to please the master because they already have mortgages.

Feel free to withdraw your assertions.

Nigga ain't nobody unemployed

No matter how much you repeat this line won't make it true

Unemployment is at historic lows (4%)

Fighting a problem that doesn't exist or trying to cap won't change reality

Employment boku to the point the equivalent of the low grade jobs you are chasing from China are abundant in America and are being filled by illegal Mexicans rather than Americans cos ain't nobody want that bullshit. If you sack all the illegal Mexicans today, there are more jobs than people, so what's the point adding more Mexican level jobs?

Only a drug addict or someone with mental health issues will be unemployed in America today if they are serious.
There were days a single working parent would raise their children, educate them,buy a house and retire in comfort.
How many are in gainful employment, not needing 2 or 3 jobs to pay their bills.

---Stop changing the subject---I didn’t ask about Russia not being on the tariff list — that much is obvious due to the multiple sanctions imposed following the Ukraine war---My question is straightforward---why has Putin not yet accepted or even partially agreed to the ceasefire agreement to end the war?--

---You have a habit of diverting direct questions---Since you seem to know much about Felon 47’s talking points--let me ask again---why hasn’t Putin agreed to a ceasefire?---
I was responding to your earlier insinuation of Putin being Trump puppeteer.
As for the ceasefire Trump is currently preoccupied in "crashing the US economy, stopping Social Security, , enriching the billionire class, delegatibg to co president Elon Musk ,disregarding court orders ,etc" .
Putin I think has smelt the blood -Zelensky is not getting much aid, before they agree to talks he probably will have annexed every inch he needs. Why go for a ceasefire when you are on the roll. My thoughts.

during ww2 america said not our business until it became their business. that is the way it works. you guys want to relearn the lessons of ww2. you say greed is good. dictators say the same. hitler decided he wanted the resources of his neighbors and he kept ion expanding - because like you say greed is good, and that is really all that matters

americans said it was not their business - until japan bombed pearl harbor. today russia is also expanding in west africa. greed is good. we are big brother nigeria and it is not our business, until we see demonstrators waving Russian flags and realize it actually is our business

charles taylor started his mess in liberia. then he expanded to sierra leone. if big brother nigeria said not our business, who know what the map would look like today ? how many more countries would taylor have destabilized in his mad dash for resources ?


i have a friend who lives in lekki. house with a high fence , dogs the whole works. for months all his neighbors were being robbed, but his house was impregnable. then one night he woke up to the robbers in his bedroom. they told him he better have something for them, because they worked to get into his house. that is what hapens with greed and bullies. it will never be enough. and if you ignore teh bullies long enough, they can grow big enough to take you one


same way american greed meant everyone was looking away and saying not my business until china became a behemoth that could not be pushed around.

America kneecapped Japanese industry in the 1980s with the semi conductor agreement. but china is more powerful and not a client state, so that will not work

neither will trumps tariffs. all that will happen is that americans purchasing power will drop, and americans will have to abandon consumerism for sustainability

America came out of W2 largely unscathed and wiser heads used that opportunity to build american hegemony. today you are cheering as it is all thrown away. would you have emigrated to an america of the low wages trump is chasing? would it have been worth it?
China tariffs are at 104% today. Apple flew in 5 cargo planes before the tariffs kicked in.

......China hopes the United States will immediately remove its unilateral imposition of tariffs, and work with China to strengthen dialogue, manage differences, and promote cooperation.......that it is a typical act of unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying for the United States to take tariffs as a weapon of exerting maximum pressure and pursuing self-interest

I guess it won’t sound so dramatic when you say it how it actually is. You have to dramatize and embellish for shock value.
Bills always have good intentions, many have hidden clauses.
You can lose custody of your child if you refuse to accept their feelings that they are in a different body.

HB25-1312. This bill enshrines that if you are having a custody dispute and your child is suffering from gender identity delusions, not affirming those delusions are considered child abuse and grounds for losing custody.”


Insurers must cover gender transitions .. including for children. What could go wrong?
HB25-1309, requires that all health insurance plans sold in the state cover medical gender transition interventions

Taxpayers should fund abortions. Noone should be forced to fund abortions..
SB25-183, which requires taxpayers to fund abortionsThe bill repeals a constitutional amendment that prohibited the use of taxpayer dollars on abortions and adds one, recognizing the right to an abortion and prohibiting Colorado state and local governments from denying, impeding, or discriminating against the exercise of that right, including prohibiting health insurance companies from excluding coverage for abortion,

If you are OK with that ,well and good.

Trump is milking liberation day fir all it's worth . Over 70 countries have called scheduling for negotiations

Bessent notes at the request of President Trump, all administration officials were to pull back from commentary following the “liberation day” tariff announcement. The objective was to give all nations’ time to absorb the impact while reducing the reverberation noise.

After a few days, President Trump then began to assess the inbound communication from various country leaders and their request for renegotiation. The priority schedule permits the honest trade allies to come first in the que to the office of U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer, as approved by President Trump.

The first two countries to get listened to are.
Japan
Korea

Not China , .not the EU.
The agreements reached between Japan and Korea will set the baseline for any further dealsxeith other countries

Those millionaires they say we lost are mostly what is called non-doms.

Non-doms only pay UK tax on the money they earn in the UK. They do not have to pay tax to the UK government on money made elsewhere in the world (unless they pay that money into a UK bank account). And smarty, they don't earn or invest in UK, so create no jobs but benefit from our societal structure.

Basically tax dodgers. Good riddance.

I've read before that the CCP released COVID during the World Military Games in China before the pandemic or first cases were ever reported.
A bombshell report in 2022 was concealed by the Biden admin in order to preserve Faucci theories

The number of United States athletes and staff who attended the 2019 World Military
Games and became ill with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-like symptoms during or
shortly after their return to the United States.


Read the report by US military here (pdf).

Faucci is modern day Dr Death and all his accomplishments should be wiped off history books

He admits he wanted to kill Kavanaugh over Roe v Wade ruling. Rhetoric from democrats and the liberal left media definitely had something to do with his plans.
That criminal Mangione , you should've seen the look on his face when the prosecution said it would be asking for a death penalty.
The lies and hate from the left is a sure recipe for disaster.

Maybe because investigating it will reveal truths that will hurt Trump very badly? You guys get so close to realization and somehow miss it. It’s amazing to behold.

Just like you, I would love some investigations too. Wonder what’s stopping Kash from jumping on it. Hmm. 🤔
You really have a bad attitude. Trump is out to wreck the economy, enrich the billionires, deport illegals.
I have seen that he wants to tariff pharma imports. Productuon cost for a single dose was of covax Pfizer was $1.18 but govts the largest buyers were buying at $20 plus Health costs are largely the wages and research, many drugs would just cost pennies . He also wants to ban pharma advertising which sort of hooks people while buying off the media to never report negatively.

Those are the actions of a fascist.
