But in a private speech in Washington for JPMorgan Chase, Bessent also cautioned that talks between the United States and China had yet to formally start.
And now Trump announced that the tariffs will be massively reduced. Looks like America lost another trade war. Who’d’ve thunk?
He who fights first then looks for victory is a fucking moron.
Then maybe we should avoid a trade war with Chi…oops, too late.
The guy makes tariffs thinking “well that will bring them to the table to talk” and China instead just gained more soft power around the globe in the vaccums the U.S. created. Don’t worry, we know all parties will claim they won no matter what ends up happening. Who loses most, the civilians
China would have talked trade deals without all this self destructive bullshit.
Trump is a guy who would walk into a car dealership, insult everyone, complain loudly about the prices, and pay 10% over asking while telling everyone he got a great deal
Trump is so dumb he believes in American Exceptionalism, banked the future of the country against it, and now has shown how much hype it all was. Hype that was used to build a global economic empire, controlled the markets of unrelated cultures, and dominated geopolitics through it. Trump just killed all that hype and now each of those tent poles of American empire is crashing down, taking with it the image of America as GloboCop.
Private speech to JP Morgan Chase giving details of policy timing? Sounds legit.
And fired…
It might not be sustainable for USA, but China is doing just fine. Their stock market is flatlining and they expect growth to drop 2.2% to 3% growth. Not great, but definitely sustainable. That seems to be a big problem for US negotiations.
That’s because the US is led by a singular imbecile.
That’s not true. It’s led by the finest collection of imbeciles the modern world has ever seen.
A voted in by 77 million imbeciles and another ~70 million morons who didn’t vote against him.
Not sustainable == Fucking Stupid
