It is ready for any type of war yet requesting for meetings.

OK oo
You dey mind people. Chinese people are not Nigerians that are docile, long-suffering and life loving . If factories start closing and people start to lose jobs in China...na revolution be that. Chinese government won't want that. Past American presidents empowered China economically by their policies. But Trump is trying to change that...

Thunderfayamods:
Tell us why you blame Clinton.
It’s a long story but let me give you a hint. Back in the late 80s and early 90s the world was scared that the population explosion in China could be a big problem if the economic situation doesn’t improve fast .

Then they all agreed “ west” ,’with Clinton being the chief instigator ‘ that they are going to stop isolating China and admit them into the WTO and give them the ‘developing economy’ status and then allow them to produce all the little things that US don’t want to produce eg. pins, needles , towels and stuff like that


If you are with the WTO as a developing economic it means you can ship to a member state at a 25% tariff and boom China rode on that to become second world economy until 2016 when Trump cancelled that deal.

Think about it China has been rode on the ‘ under developing economy’ umbrella to feed fat up until 2016 . How can the second largest economy in the world still be enjoying the benefit reserves for underdeveloped economies like Nigeria and Angola.


Now you see why Trump made Ngozi Okonjo Iweala Useless before his tariff onslaught? I don’t have much time and pleas pardon my grammar but you can research more on this.

Trump getting elected has cost me a fortune. But I’m not one of those that consider him an idiot, he’s in fact smarter than an average American president.

Righteousness2:
The War of the Superpowers: Bombers and Tariffs

Anyone who analyzes Trump’s tariffs through the lens of "cost of living" or "the stock market" is deluding themselves. The world is changing. The future of nations will not hinge on cost-of-living metrics or stock indices in Tel Aviv and New York but on military, industrial, and technological power. This is the war of the superpowers—the defining trend. There’s a direct link between the US, the European Union, China, and jihadists in the Middle East.


The studios, commentators, journalists, and politicians don’t grasp that the world is shifting. We’re entering a war of superpowers where every misstep or act of arrogance courts destruction. The ultimate aim is control and balance.

Now, an explanation of tariffs and the War of Nations:


1. America’s Core Conflict:
The supreme struggle is with China. Europe was meant to compete alongside the US as part of the democratic world but has failed against industrial China and military Russia. For the free world’s sake, industries must return to America and pro-American nations—like India and Israel—that value life.
The American economy thrives on technology, not industry. Europe has drained industries from the US, not wealth. America’s stock market is dominated by tech giants, while Europe leans on industry. If the American consumer suffers, Europe will collapse entirely.


2. Europe’s Dependency:
Britain, France, and all of Europe lack a right to exist without the US. Without it, Europe would bow to Turkey, cower before Russia, and see the Mediterranean, the Straits of Gibraltar, and even the Vatican threatened by ISIS, just as the Houthis disrupted the Red Sea.

3. Tariffs as Strategy:
Tariffs are a geostrategic move. Just as Trump positioned bombers over Iran, he’s placing economic "bombers" over Europe’s economy.
Trump—a president hounded by the Deep State, survivor of an assassination attempt—faces a post-Biden world. Without urgent change, the free world will perish.


4. Economic Illusions:
The American economy is a bluff; Europe’s is an even bigger one. Birth rates are plummeting, debts are soaring. Germany, Britain, and France obsess over climate issues and stay silent as their debt-ridden economies falter, with Muslims now the largest minority. The "Free Palestine" slogan is propaganda that exposes the monstrous consequences of Europe’s open gates.

5. A New World Order:
America has no inherent right to its current global political and economic dominance. A new order must emerge. Is this America’s fault? Superpowers don’t dwell on guilt or apologies—they seek control.

Post-World War II support for Europe stemmed from its role as a US proxy against the Soviet Union. But the Soviet Union is gone, and Russia poses neither an economic nor a direct political threat to the US. China is the true economic and political rival. Europe, meanwhile, is not just an industrial competitor but an economic liability. Alliances are always temporary in history. Why not bolster India and Israel instead?

6. Long-Term Vision:
Trump is "destroying the economy"? Hardly. He’s thinking 100 years ahead. The future lies with India, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, and Africa—not with nations debating climate and gender in parliament while committing slow suicide.


7. Warning to Israelis in Europe:
Return home now. You’re gambling with fire for cheap cherries. The EU is a debt-ridden economy that can’t meet industrial or security demands. France, the EU’s number-two economy, could trigger a collapse of the EU and the euro if it fails. Living in the Czech Republic, Spain, Portugal, or Greece? You’re not safe. You’re tied to France’s fate. At best, assets and finances will be nationalized; at worst, anti-Semitism will erupt in the streets.
Unlike 2008, when Germany bailed out Greece (a small player), no one will save France. Poverty will hit hard, bringing wars, anti-Semitism, and Islamism. Assets will be seized, taxes will skyrocket, and conscription orders will follow.
There aren’t enough El Al planes to rescue everyone.


8. ISRAEL'S Moment:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is stepping into the most critical event for Israel since World War II—and the most significant for the free world in a century: joint planning with the US president to shape a new world aligned with America’s vision. This is an unprecedented moment our history.

9. Netanyahu’s Objectives:
- Prevent a nuclear Iran.
- Define a zonal border with Turkey in Syria.
- Secure territorial changes in Judea and Samaria, Gaza, southern Lebanon, and parts of Syria.
- Forge a trade agreement with the US.
- Deepen military partnership.
- Finalize the Abraham Accords.

10. The Age of Great Powers:
We’re in an era of superpower warfare, allied with the most powerful nation in human history. ISRAEL is well-positioned but must remain patient. The stakes are high, and errors on this vast map are unforgivable.


Good luck to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. If his meeting with the US president succeeds, ISRAEL will enter a new, unprecedented era for the better.

You sounded so dumb. When was the last time you saw any product made in the US? Wether in Nigeria, Asia, Europe, Oceania and everywhere. Apart from Coca cola and few tech companies the US is dead. Their last global cultural export Michael Jackson died in 2009 and now every culture has deserted the US music and films. Forget US, common pen made in the US will cost over #7000 and who will buy it?
Re: Tarrifs: Trump Promises Additional 50% On China by Eriokanmi: 10:18pm On Apr 07, 2025
Trump will kill American economy before he leaves. About 70% of goods entering America come from China cheesy. There was a day I entered Walmart. Almost everything I saw was made in China.
I read earlier today in the foreign news that madam Christine Lagard is looking for an alternative to visa,master card and PayPal for the EU grin. L'obatan. Right now, tesla car sales in Europe has dropped drastically while most us stocks are on the downward trend. There are protests everywhere in the usa mainly by those who.voted him. He could be impeached before his tenure ends.

This guy is obviously dismantling the American empire on the orders of the transnational global elites, everything he is doing is a deliberate attempt at weakening America and destroying it's institutions. The same strategy they have used in destroying and looting so called third world is what they are about to implement on America and the American people, that is why millions are out on the streets protesting, but unfortunately this plan is in motion and irreversible, it's like the hungry bear coming back to it's den to eat her own cubs.

American products get tarrffed like crazy but when it comes from China it’s so little to pay in tariff. It makes it seem like China has cheap goods and USA has expensive goods

Re: Tarrifs: Trump Promises Additional 50% On China by Originalsly: 10:22pm On Apr 07, 2025
In the US ... it is difficult to find any product made in the US ...except for foods and drinks. Almost everything is made in China. Jack up the tariffs the price of almost everything will raised for consumers. With reduced spending power the economy will slow down a whole lot. Even the blind can already see this happening. Raise tariffs again it will be even worse. Already...people are not smiling ... regardless of Party affiliation... and are already taking to the streets in massive demonstrations. Own a Tesla? ... fear of vandalism be your friend. Trump is literally destroying America ... tearing down institutions... disregarding the Constitution... the Champion of Democracy is a dictator ...how ironic.

Neither is Xi Jinping looking forward to future elections or public approval rating.
China will do whatever it can to fight.

Chinese economy will be hit but no Chinese will or can complain unlike Americans.
Trump(Sorry Americans) will lose very badly if this continues.
Chinese people are still complaining, their population is way too much, you still have good population of Chinese people living in poverty

He thinks China is like Africa that goes into panic mode, immediately the US threatens. Him never accept say China don dey too advanced for those type of shits. They have long been preparing for these confrontations and they have your balls in their hands. China handles alot of US manufacturing and can deal a deadly blow on the US. We shall see who gets knocked out first in this trades battle.

Trump definitely not the best choice but with kamala as president there would have been war by now with Russia.

Even I regret supporting Trump with all this useless Tariff.

Even your fellow christians who voted for you would begin to regret. Making life difficult for them.

You are a billionaire in dollars... and certainly don't understand what people are going through all over the world.

If he continues like this, I won't mind wishing that his presidency being imploded - heavy protests then impeachment.
