So how does that help? Ignoring him and his antics will only lead to a fatal outcome for everyone. There are some things that should never be ignored no matter whose ox is gored
He has relegated them, he has rendered them useless and they, themselves knew. He has no regard for them as he believes that there is nothing they can do

Very good , people with anti semitic views tend to naturally support violence and terrorism I have noticed
Lol. And people who are accusing others of being anti semitic are also the ones committing genocide and war crimes, killing over 40,000 Palestinians with children and women formed the bulk of the number which they don't even want anyone to speak about or against. Very ironic

arantess:
E get one Muslim girl for Twitter wey dey always support terrorism. And she dey US.

Heard the FBI has visited her already.
One Muslim girl supports terrorism on Twitter (I hope it is not about supporting Palestinians) and FBI has visited her. But who has visited US government that is funding terrorism, genocide and war crime against Palestinians? Donating thousands of tonnes of bombs to Israel non stop to achieve the results you're looking at below is not funding and supporting terrorism but a girl making a comment on twitter is the one supporting terrorism. I wonder how effective her support has been so far? grin grin
Ediots everywhere

Naturally correct.

If your posts suggest that you are anti-American, you shouldn't be let in. I mean, why would you want to visit a country you hate and attack so much? You may just be a security threat!

And it doesn't even make sense. If I hate a place, I wouldn't want to be there. Why I go want carry body go where I no like?
You don't know what you are supporting blindly. A scientist and Peru ex president visas were cancelled not because they are anti America (whatever you meant by that), not because they hate America or they attacked America but because they criticised some of Trump's policies. And just like that, immigration sent the scientist back and USA embassy cancelled the ex president visa.
But I trust, some of you don't have intellectual capacity and wisdom to analyse all these stuff

I support this move 100%.
Why constitute nuisance online and offline, and apply for visa or seek asylum in another country, only to get it and continue to make trouble?
People who do this are cowards. You want to fight for freedom in comfort? You will all rot in hell. Stvpid cowards
You do know that calling out Israel and Netanyahu over their genocide and war crime activities is what the orange man is referring to as antisemitic, right?

America economy is the number one sustainer of china economy because of what they export to the US, then china restrict the importation of American products, would u allow that to continue?
If China agreed with you on that point, they wouldn't retaliate against Trump action. We will soon find out.
Trump reversed the tariffs for other countries unexpectedly because he realised USA was about to get fvcked.

We are not because the mass production you displayed in your post didn't happen at the time China was deploying it commercially. It started very much later

Why will he pause the tariffs that was designed to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US?

I don't just get it. How is this sustainable? Is he expecting hundreds of well-equipped factories to magically spring up overnight in USA?

And what does he mean by disrespect to "world" markets. I thought he loved to work alone. This is so irrational

The Internet is awash with theories that Trump manipulated the stock market for himself and friends to buy at low prices. Makes a lot of sense

I personally believe that someone out there has something on Trump and is playing him like a fiddle because all of this is just abnormal.

But then again the most shocking aspect of all this is that noone is curbing his excesses which is just strange.
He even told his friends and colleagues to buy shares and stocks

I like when a country is powerful and also brags with it. Trump is just like a lion king in the pride,he knows he's the most powerful and so commands respect from the whole pride,and banishes any dissenting lion from the pride, like the case of young male lions who are usually exiled from the pride when they re becoming too stubborn for the king.

Trump just want to use the tarriff to show the world that USA is the one calling the shots in world affairs and rebels like China would be dealt with decisively if they don't respect USA.

China will later seek for dialogue with USA when she sees that it has been isolated by USA. We go watch how this chess game unfolds.
Dream on grin grin

Below texts are from Americans on Reddit.
China holds approximately $176 billion in U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), accounting for about 5.7% of its over $3 trillion in foreign exchange reserves.  While this is a significant amount, it is relatively small compared to China’s holdings of U.S. Treasury securities, which totaled $760.8 billion as of January 2025.  Therefore, China’s capacity to disrupt the MBS market by selling off its holdings is limited compared to its potential influence on the U.S. Treasury market.
China is one of the largest owners of mortgage backed securities…they can dump and cause chaos
It's not just the bonds... read up on Xi, his background, and his upbringing.

Now compare that to Trump, a man who has never had to deal, truly suffer, from the consequences of his actions & has only known privilege his whole life.

One of these men has a deep background in politics, and is leading a fucking monster of industry. One of these men does not Bleep around, and throws CEOs into jail when they Bleep up.

Trump is about to get rolled, hard, and is too racist and short-sighted to understand how deeply he bleeped up.

onatisi:
there will be some problems initially but there is no other way trump or any president could have done it, America has all the potentials and resources to be manufacturing in the usa but yet they are importing these finished goods, why cant they do it in usa and sell it to the rest of the world. I just read that Trump was telling a chip manufacturing giant to build more factories in the USA if they want to sell to Americans. This company, based in Taiwan, has received a substantial amount of loans and aid from the American government, yet it manufactures in Taiwan.
Pharmaceuticals were exempted from the sweeping tariffs President Trump announced last week.
But Trump has been saying that he will impose pharmaceutical-specific tariffs, claiming that it would help shift drug production to the US.
Much of pharmaceutical supply chains are based in China, India and Europe.
It can't because there is a reason they're being produced outside USA. Until those factors are addressed, no production will be shifted to USA.
Do you know that factors? Labour cost, raw materials/inputs, taxes and other govt levies, regulatory palaver.

Akpabio is a good man at heart with a forgiving spirit.
It is because his name is at the center of the crisis, it is not good for his image. The quicker it is resolved, the better for him too, forget about having upper hand.

Yea, I am a full-blooded Trump supporter...

He's affirmed there are two genders. Male and Female.. if Kamala won, I am sure they will be 75 more added.....

He's proven that through strong leadership surrounded by Christian believers, you can flush out wokeism and wokeness from the world

And for illegal immigrants, I mean its a no-brainer, if you're illegal, pack your load and go
One, they're not illegal immigrants. Trump is the one changing their status to illegal.
Two, seven days to leave the country and you are supporting an impractical decision? Trump is not the only madman the world is dealing with but also millions of his supporters like you

No because kids shouldn’t have access to intimacy gadgets. The law isn’t saying to ban the sales of them but to verify age before sales. Don’t see the problem

Those technologies would be obsolete in few years time without further research and development. This is where the US has an edge and China is lacking. Most innovations like lithium battery used in those vehicles you mentioned originated from the US. And the future still holes more! China only copies and mass produce.
Technologies are birth in laboratories of research institutions and not in factories. Think of what is going on in institutions like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yales and Tufts etc. These are the best brains in the world. China does not come close and they know it. That is why their elites would pay any amount to for their wards to attend these colleges.
Laughing at this ignorance. When China is already living in the future. The age of China copying "developed nations engineering" has gone! Their scientists and technologists are now living in the future.
Fastest electric trains, 6th generation fighters, better space station solely owned by China produced at a fraction of the cost of international space station, etc. Wake up!

US exports to China: 25%

If the two countries were democratic, na China go suffer pass but since one is communist, it can withstand harship and poverty for way longer than spoiled Americans hence this is a battle that won't favor Americans!
This is what I just posted too. Now, imagine the kind of hardship that this deficit of 75% will cause American consumers in the meantime!
