Chinese yaun in all time low since 2023.
Did China expect that? Nope.

You don't know business more than Trump else you would have been a billionaire. Allow him do what he knows how to do best. Business not politics. Every thing is not always us versus them. Always hoping he fail so you will glee I told you so.
I saw that here during the egg madness. Wonder if the prices of eggs is still rising.
Or we have all finally calmed down. The world is shaking cos of introduction of tarrifs by America on their goods entering America. America is not a dumping ground.
You think trump don't have an assembly of economic teams who he discusses everyday before he come up with what he is doing?


If Nigeria has a president with 10% of Trump's ball, Nigeria will be heaven on earth. For your country to go towards the right direction, you should not be afraid to ruffle feathers. Everybody will automatically adjust.


What is currently happening is called the invisible hands in economics.



Let me use Nigeria versus China as an example.
Do chinese exporters pay tarrifs to Nigeria?
No. Infact, I don't think any country pays tarrif to Nigeria
. The people who bear the blunt are Nigerian importers.

Have we seen what is happening to Nigerian economy?
That's why their goods are flooded in Nigerian market and cheaper too. What are the effects on our manufacturers. We all know. Because Nigerian govt don't care, industries keep shutting down one after the other. We import virtually everything. We don't export anything.
This is how currency gets weaker. Naira is ordinary paper now. One of the world's worst currency.

If subsequent governments have do e the needful, you and I debating here will be visiting for holiday only. We now have an economy where the purchasing power is so weak cos it has no strength and the people have no where to work.
More yahoo,rituals, kidnapping name them.


America may not reach this level but will eventually if something is not done about it and that is when you will see the jackals and hyenas pounce on once the powerful America. They are more daring now. E get why.

For those of you who are hating on what Trump's doing, you might be out of work in the next 10yrs if care is not taken. Empires rise and fall. Do not think America will not fall. It will if you guys keep on resisting change and advocating for things that don't benefit America.

This is simple economics 101. We shouldn't be debating it.

Give kudos to this man when he says America first and act it. Stop the hate. It's ridiculous.

I like him cos he got balls. It take a man with iron balls to rule a country successfully. Reminds me of late Margaret Thatcher of United kingdom. She was the best prime minister ever. If united kingdom had prime ministers like her after her tenure, the nation will still be standing tall. But, all others were afraid to ruffle feathers and ..........
Here we are. Check out Thatcherism.
So allow Trump to ruffle feathers for your own good.
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.

How many are in gainful employment, not needing 2 or 3 jobs to pay their bills.
Cost of Housing is demand driven because capitalism is set up so people store their wealth in their homes and keep driving up the price of housing

Everything else especially food is still in line with wages as it was 40 years ago

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.

In uk, I pay tarrif for American goods.
I love e made in American but they are not accessible and some are deliberately made not to work. I have been a victim multiple times.
Have complained about it years prior to this.
I don't bother looking into American markets for anything.

And I buy some goods that are from America that is made not to work in uk yet they are sold in pounds. You don't know what you are talking about.

I can easily buy stuff from China direct than from America.

Why is it so since you know best?

As for the rest, I am not interested in them.

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.

You need to see how other countries live to appreciate what you have in the US. There is no country I would rather live in than US

You want to know the impact of capitalism on Healthcare? Check the percentages of hospitals owned by private entities. Those private entities the main reasons they are building hospitals is for one major thing Money and profits. Actually private equities own about 10% of US hospitals. What do you think Private Equities are owning hospitals for?

So without the incentive for profits we will mostly be left with govt owned hospitals which only makes up 20% of current hospitals

In say a big metroplex like say Chicago if they have a total of 50 big hospitals(Trauma 1 to trauma 3), that means they will be 10 govt owned and the rest 40 hospitals will be between Faith orgaizations, charities, private ownerships including Private equities

That means these private profit seeking investment in Healthcare will employ more healthcare workers providing jobs, that means more people are covered and taken care of while the private equity makes their profit, everyone benefit

Now a scenario where we go for universal healthcare, private insurance companies leave the scene, that means the profit incentive leaves and most private investor leave the space.

A city like Chicago will go from 50 hospitals to 10 govt plus say 10 charity/faith based. So effectively from 50 to 20 hospitals. How does that not create a much bigger problem than the current system? That is how you start having people waiting for over 1yr to get a brain MRI scan where you can get in most US hospitals same day

This is why Emergency room wait times in US is about 2hrs 30mins while in Canada with Universal Healthcare its 23hours. 23hrs in ER. Then why is it EMERGENCY again?

https://www.cma.ca/latest-stories/insight-why-are-patients-spending-22-hours-emergency-room-waiting-hospital-bed

In 23hrs of waiting you can drive from Vancouver Canada to Tijuana Mexico crossing the entire US while a patient is still waiting to see a doctor in Ontario for an EMERGENCY

As someone in Healthcare you know every minute count for a patient in an emergency, Now waiting almost 1 day

Is this what you want for American healthcare? You will say no, but that is what happens when you take profit away, you take the incentive for private investors, you don't want their GREED in Healthcare, then they will take their GREED to somewhere else


This is just an example in Healthcare sector, we can do that to every sector, when you demonize profit making and call it GREED, they take their money elsewhere, the poor people suffer more

Or Do you think a rich man, his wife or kids in Canada will wait for 20hrs in an Emergency room or rather use his money to find a place he can pay and get service instantly

That is the problem with communism socialism and every variant of it, you say you want to punish the rich, eat the rich at the end of the day, the rich have other means to get by, its the poor who suffer more. Take 80% of Bezos wealth he is still rich, rather its the millions who make their living from him that will suffer

The worst form of capitalism is better than the best of communism
Why do you think the person waiting for over 1yr to get a brain MRI scan chose to wait? Or are there no hospitals owned by private entities in Canada that can provide this MRI scan under 24hrs? Or what stops her from travelling abroad for it? Don't you think the problem might just be because she cannot afford the service under these private entities owned hospitals?

Now if we remove social interventions like Medicare, ACA and Medicaid that your party is doing overtime to remove, reduce Government intervention in Health Services and then promote more private entities owned hospitals, with their corporate greed, with no regulations; what percentage of Americans do you think will be able to afford these private entities owned hospitals? Don't you think if you follow this route, the waiting time for MRI Scan in US will be worse than it is in Canada considering the population. Wrong?

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.

The Houthis bomb the refinery unexpectedly so that means they can't fend off Houthi attacks?

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

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

How do you know it's thousands? They once said hezbollah has to the tune of 150k missiles and Israel will be overwhelmed. How did that play out?

The Houthis could not threaten Saudis for all those years till Iran gave them a drone. We all thought it was Iran that attacked the refinery back then.

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 "

She had to wait because hospitals are limited,
Hospitals are limited because private investors do not have any incentive to invest in hospital
Private investors do not have an incentive to invest in hospitals because its govt option and govt dictate the prices
When govt dictate the prices, it makes it an unprofitable venture for any profit seeker to put money inside
The few private owned will be way more expensive

On the flip side, If the govt is not fully running Healthcare in Canada, There is a likelihood that many private investors would have built more hospitals, and they will entice patients by telling them our MRI is not 1yr, but 7months, next one will bring it down to 3months, before long you will be having 24hrs MRI like its in the Great USA. She can them pick her options. In America its common for hospitals to put up the wait time in their Emergency room maybe as a form of advertisement like this

To your point about Obamacare, Do you think people in America were not getting care before Obamacare? Even illegals with no insurance will walk into hospitals and get care in this USA at worst they g to the gov owned hospitals

Some healthcare systems even try to avoid govt insurances. Govt healthcare and Obamacare have horrible reimbursements for doctors and providers and many providers and hospitals will rather not take it or take it as a very last option

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.

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 "
Bombing Iran or Lebanon, a civilian population with expectations of a certain level of comfort is different to bombing Houthis who have accepted rugged life and are zombies. USA can bomb them as they are faraway no problem, Saudi should stay out of it for their own sake. A word is enough for the wise

If you are living in America, you should rather be happy for this.
The next level is amendment of some stupid laws.
Then the manufacturers will come home
No country in this world will be allowed to do what China did. None.

I just wrote that Trump is unpredictable. He has paused all trifgs 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.
---Felon 47 boasted at the NRCC dinner yesterday that countries are dying to kiss his ar5e---why the change of statement within 24 hours--- This level of inconsistencies is not good for the US economy---with all the 'brilliant minds and billionaires' you mentioned that are in his cabinet---they can't help him to make up his mind---

---This time last week April 2, Felon 47---declared Liberation Day is here---that there will be no going back from here---
---Today April 9, he pauses tariffs for an additional 90 days---how can he make America wealthy?---
---A mess he created---
Felon 47 is very erratic and unstable---as these tariffs are not well-thought out---
