Catapault:
Trump is a complete Mo.ron.

He doesn’t know anything, he doesn’t read, he’s just a privileged narcissist.

Whoever allowed him to be in office wants to ruin America using him.
He is also ignorant of geography, world map and world affairs.

According to his former National security adviser, John Bolton. He said that trump doesn't know that France and UK has nuclear weapons. Until he told him.

He also said trump doesn't know where Baltic Countries are. Trump confuse Baltic Countries with ex defunct Yugoslavia state. Bolton was surprised at Trump's ignorance. They have to correct him.

How can the POTUS be so ignorant ? Trump did. He doesn't know anything apart from playing golf.

Trump is a fraudster. He would have told his boys to go and buy stocks at lower price knowing full well he would pause the tariffs
I said in another thread two days ago that the man has folded and paused the tariffs, some people here made me felt I was carrying fake news 😂

China should just bow and negotiate rather than just playing save-face
If you had China’s trade reach, you will bow to the US that it’s major export is services.

Hello! China is the hub of manufacturing. Remove the US, and it will still have trade relations with the rest of world.

No manufacturing investor will ever ditch China for the US.

China go heap more on them again,what this clown don't know.is that the Chinese already left them (u.s.a) a long time ago in production, education and research,so all.this gra-gra from trump won't work and this behavior just shows how racist the white Caucasian race still are,they view all other race as lower than them and are always looking for ways to bully everyone,the Chinese alre very lucky that they developed their military and have nuclear weapons otherwise the racist Americans and their European cousins would have been bullying them just how they are doing to the iranians and Arab world in general now.any black African still believing and trusting in the nonsense entity called America today is a lost soul,I pity those sets of people.

China cannot afford an economic crisis. That's what keeps the Communist Party in power unchallenged. The Chinese government knows this, I believe.

Beyond trade economics, It appears Trump is trying to cause political unrest in China in order to slow down the country's towering economy and global trade dominance.
That's the aim - cause economic unrest in China where the citizens revolt against the government and snoop in to take the spoils. The British did a similar thing with the Opium Wars. Whether the Chinese will succumb to a foreign power dismantling their country is yet to be seen.

China made a very big mistake in retaliating. There was no need fighting with Trump, knowing that China has been benefiting, disproportionately in her trade with US. Xi will put China into recession because of unnecessary fight. He should have swallowed his pride and allowed Trump be, so long China was still on top of international trade. You are fighting with your biggest trading partner, where you control 75% of trade between two of you. Xi no try at all. I forsee a 200% increase in coming weeks, as Xi try to match up with Trump's madness
So what do you recommend China to do? Bend its knees to an entity that does not want to see China succeed? The Democrats imposed severe sanctions on its chip industry and EV industry. They banned Deepseek because it's cheaper than chatGPT. The aim is to strangle China's economic rise. So I ask, when did it become a crime for a country to excel economically? Why should the Chinese swallow their pride? I'm genuinely curious. This is not Canada, please.

The thing about acquiescing to a bully is that the bully gets to demand more. So to prevent that, don't accept the bullying. You fight back.

The childish man claimed they were begging him on their knees, yet he couldn't name one of them who did.

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

It is better to choose your fight wisely at any given time. China is currently enjoying a massive trade surplus over the US. In as much as US is trying to bully China, China should weigh its options and see if it is worth it, engaging in the fight, in the first instance. Can the Chinese economy be able to sustain the huge economic losses that may result because of this fight? There is no need being emotional. China should check the benefits and the advantages it gets because of its huge trade surplus with US and make some concessions, so that it doesn't result to unnecessary economic losses to its economy and entities.

Getting interesting.

Meanwhile, Russia so far is the only country that immune from Trump tarrifs, isn't this a cause for worry seeing the way Americans pretend to hate communists
they are under saction already and Trump need show some goodwill towards Russia to ease the tension in Ukraine.

It may seem clownish to you but these guys are fighting for the future of their countries.

China is on the verge of becoming the world leader but America isn't ready to give that up soon.

Millions or perhaps billions of destinies are tied to this stuff you view as a joke.

It's a winner takes it all battle.
This is the truth people dont realise. America is at the verge of being usurped. Trump knows it's either now or never, and a millitary assault is not even out of the conversation. If this move fails to deter China's Ascension, then it's over.

Fair argument. The trade between the US and China is less than 10% of China's GDP. The figures are huge though, but other countries exist. With this suspension of reciprocal tarrifs, simply re-route goods through the usual China allied nations.

America made the greatest mistake to vote in that child as their leader,personally I think he is been so vindictive to his allies especially Canada cos of the video that leaked during his first time as president where the allies were making fun of him and laughing especially Justin Trudeau so he wants to take his pound of flesh.

And as for China,he sees them as a huge threat and he knows China no send him papa. The guy loves people worshiping him.
