Look at this white slave that is suffering from infreority complex!
They are far better humans than you can ever be! Africans are lower animals to the white people.

Africa as a continent still begs for loan and aid from the same white men after over 50 years of independence, so where is your mumu superiority and equality to a white man?

Tell me one thing the black men of Africa has gotten right? From leadership, economy, education and productivity.

Can you even elect a leader in Nigeria? If not for the whites moneys would have been better than you. What else do you do in Africa apart from corruption and buying phones and cars made by white people?

The US want to play by their own rules and reap where they did not sow. Nobody is bringing manufacturing to the US. If you want people to start producing in America, devalue your currency just as everyone else has done including China, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Nigeria etc. You can't be using the overvalued and insanely high dollar and expect people to produce things in your country. If they do, nobody will be able to afford it so Trump is just crashing the US for no reason

Speak for yourself. It is you who's never equal to a white man because you believe so.

There are white men thriving, and there are black men thriving. There are white men in poverty and there are black men in poverty. And so on.

You can't make such a ridiculous statement to say that all black men are beneath white men.

Think for yourself. As a black software engineer, are you not as good or even better than some white software engineers? Don't devalue yourself just because of your skin color.

USA has the largest economy in the world. Followed by the EU and China. USA previously encouraged trade with most countries, so many countries have economies that are intertwined with the US.

Countries can do without the US but it will take time to adjust their supply chains and seek partners elsewhere to make up for the trade lost from the US. Even with that, there would still be a gap because of how large the US economy is.

The US does need international trade though. They can't survive without it. They don't produce everything their country needs.

cathodekazim:
This post from Donald Trump reflects an alarming level of hypocrisy, naivety, and a lack of understanding of the broader economic realities. First, the very claim that China has "treated us unsustainably badly" ignores the fundamental fact that trade relationships are reciprocal. If America has been taken advantage of, it's because of decades of bad policy choices that were made under his watch and by his predecessors—many of whom were his allies. Rather than acknowledge the mistakes of past administrations, Trump has chosen to scapegoat others and deflect attention from his own failings.

Moreover, his assertion that America is somehow "bringing back jobs and businesses like never before" rings hollow. In reality, the jobs he's referring to often come with low wages, unstable benefits, or are part of industries that are fundamentally unsustainable. The illusion of job creation ignores the reality of automation and globalization, forces that no amount of rhetoric can undo. The promise of "more than five trillion dollars of investment" is another hollow boast, as such figures often fail to address the underlying issues of income inequality and the deepening wealth gap that his policies have exacerbated.

Trump's rhetoric also ignores a critical point: the policies that hurt other countries will eventually rebound on America. The imposition of tariffs and trade wars, meant to "bring back jobs," often results in higher costs for consumers and undermines the very businesses he claims to support. If we continue down this path, the fallout will be a trade war that damages American workers more than it helps them—an irony that's lost on his supporters, who continue to cheer on policies that ultimately hurt their own economic stability.

The hypocrisy of those supporting Trump is just as glaring. They cheer on a president who touts his "economic revolution" while actively undermining the social safety net and reducing funding for the very public services that would help ordinary Americans weather these economic challenges. They blindly follow a leader who engages in crony capitalism, enriching himself and his allies, while leaving the vast majority of Americans struggling.

Rather than "making America great again," we are heading toward a future of increased division, weakened global standing, and an economy that benefits the rich at the expense of the working class. Trump’s promises are nothing more than empty slogans, and the reality of his policies will be a historic failure for America—one that his supporters will eventually have to confront.
Correct!
You know Trump is very annoyed about China being ahead on everything especially DeepSeek! Ever since China announced it he's been very bitter with them!!

grandstar:
Those tariffs will be the downfall of the US economy. He is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

The Federal Reserve will only increase interest rates if inflation increases and it is bound to now with these tariffs that will be passed on to the consumers.

Trump is a dumb man who doesn't know what he is doing. I have long condemned his present economic policies, even before the elections. I knew they would destroy the US economy. Expect a depression by early next year.

They have handed the US economy to a man-child who does not know what he is doing.
I think financial literacy should be a must before you can contest for any elective post.

In 1930, the U.S. raised significant tariffs on imported goods and this led to retaliatory tariffs by other countries thus causing a sharp decline in international trade and worsening the global depression.

Not long after the great depression of the 1930's, World War 2 started in 1939.

The depression of 1930s led to so many suicides from people that faced sudden financial ruin. Yesterday I say a video of a MAGA supporter on YouTube blaming Trump when he saw his cherished stocks lose $7m in just 2 days.

Trump is cutting his nose to spite his face. He says he is trying to cut Americas year on year deficit of 3 trillion dollars yet he recklessly causes American pension funds and investors to lose 6 Trillon dollars in just 2 days and then he saunters off to watch golf huh

He probably does not fully realize or care to know that a recession is child's play compared to the looming economic depression that he has foisted on America and the whole world if he does not cancel his voodoo calculated reciprocal tariffs that he made up with a dodgy fraudulent formula that no economist has ever heard of.

I think Elon Musk may be passing Trump some of his stash of Ketamine (horse tranquilizer) as Trump is high on something and this is before you factor in that he is an insomniac that is tweeting round the clock and so his brain chemistry is not balanced to start with.

I will not be surprised if he suffers a nervous breakdown soon because with him tweeting round the clock, when does he get the time to rest and calm his brain cells down through adequate sleep huh

intelligence isn't a function of race. A black man can be more intelligent than a white man.

But life isn't all about intelligence, being organized as a people, having a good orientation as a people leave it to the whites. When it comes to building a society that works a black man can not.

In the west the citizens chose/elect their leaders. In Africa a black man is yet to have a free and fair election. I challenge you!

In the west leaders are never above the law, there is accountability and transparency these things don't happen in Africa.

Never mind you might never understand my point.
You can't be shouting inferiority complex when in reality you behavior like animals and barbarians in Africa. When your leaders keep running to the same people you think you are better than for aid and loans to steal. That's my point.

This is not just about a single black man, it's not about me. I have seen tens and tens of white men admire me and what I do. I have seen so many who believe I'm better than them. I am just one out of many.

But how come that Nigeria still exist without regular power supply? When all the necessary material and resources are there to electrify Nigeria. It only shows that there is something wrong with a black man and this is why they are better than us. Take it or leave it.

I...USA is producing locally..they produce goods and services..they have companies and industries foreign and indigenous investors and industries..a country cannot live in isolation..a country cannot be an island... USA or no country can produce everything...every goods in this world..that is why we have international trade and international businesses... countries must mingle and work together in production and supply of goods and services between each other.. USA cannot produce everything..it still needs some good and raw materials to be imported into USA because you cannot produce everything..no country can produce or manufacture everything or every goods and services by itself..a country cannot be in isolation or an island.. that international trade and businesses is still necessary
