So what Canada probably needs to do is spin DeHavilland and/or Avro back into operation.
Oh now the dumbass is threatning South Korea again after they gave him a crown? After the bullshit with those racist, unreconstructed Republicans tormenting Hyundai workers at the new Georgia plant, I'm of the opinion South Korea needs to tell this gibbering dipshit to get fucked.
"[The pricktator] is wildly stupid at business, especially given he somehow got an MBA from undergrad BS in economics from Wharton, eesh."
This is because the pricktator attended to Wharton in the sense that he sometimes took up physical space in the buildings there—likely even serenaded the coeds he hit on with his characteristic ass-music—and otherwise just acted like a spunking cock while his racist Klansman daddy leaned on the dean to give him a degree.
I've taught assholes like this. When Mommy and Daddy pay for everything and don't let them have any responsibility, the world is their oyster. And they're free to be as ignorant and pigheaded as possible.
Bessant is a compulsive liar about anything he's asked. Carney is busy making trade deals all over the world, opening up new avenues of trade. That includes the 49,900 EV cars import deal he made with China. Howdy Bessant hasn't made a singe fuckin' deal since the WH started the trade war. Remember that BS last summer and the Dotard said S.K. was paying us 500 million and was pledging to invest another 500 million, or some such nonsense. Apparently S.K. says " We're workin'on a deal for you, try back in a couple weeks". Bessant's gonna need to get out there and debase himself some more! Tha'ts always fun to watch.
Bessent isn't paid to know shit about anything; he works for the unreconstructed under Maladministration 2.0. All he has to do is just say inane things to fluff his boss and cheer for Americans to embrace Gilded Age 2.0.
Bessent is a pompous ass. He loves to pontificate and insult people and other countries like Denmark with his characteristic smirking disdain. He and Trump have no clue about how to deal with the daily accumulation of debt, rising unemployment, or a shaky stock market reliant on AI profits that will never materialize. And most people hate them with a passion, so there’s that.
I finally got it. The reason Trump and his people keep claiming that he has ended an increasing number of wars in the world is that they are counting all of the 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦 wars that he started, then ended.
Where's that IMMINENT SUPREME COURT RULING about the tariff bullshit? That may for some reason acknowledge the fact that THE LAW states this is not within the purview of the president? And that there is no IMMINENT THREAT to the US from existing trade agreements made by the US? O shit, I just noticed 'US" spells 'us'!
"China’s leadership also does not have to give one turd if their economy suffers a mild dip, because they do not have to worry about buttering up the populace ahead of any elections. China can make a 5-year plan, a 50-year plan, a thousand-year-plan. They control the majority of the world’s rare earth minerals needed to make high-tech everything: weapons, AI chips, cars and TVs, and the technology to synthesize them for use."
They are also the country whose batshit insane policies managed to trigger the largest man-made famine in human history when the Great Leap Forward ended in a faceplant. 16 to 40 million people starved in a couple of years (one of them a distant relative). China can make "thousand year plans," but Chinese history is littered with the debris, and the corpses, of such plans. They do NOT control the supply of rare earths (for the simple fact that rare earths aren't actually rare) and they have just shut down most of their space program because of problems that haven't been made public. You seem to have missed the corruption scandal and the possible attempted coup as well. And the "docility" of the Chinese population depends almost entirely on getting richer every year; ask the Japanese, who were the previous candidates for "Number 1," how that works out.
They're going to be the 21st century Japan if they are lucky, with a plateauing standard of living; if the population doesn't accept that, they'll be something more.... dynamic. The Chinese population, a herd of docile sheep? Tell us you don't know anyone in China without telling us you don't know anyone in China. The deal for the past thirty years has been you get richer every year and we get to control the country, but the first half of that won't go on forever.
The United States will not dominate the world forever, but its eventual replacement will be a multicultural and multi-ethnic society, not a single-culture bloc like China or India. In the very long term, a place like Brazil has a better chance to rise above the rest than a country still innocently pretending that it's the centre of the world.
The crux of the biscuit is that while China is suffering as you detail, the leadership doesn’t care whether the people starve or whatever. They’ll just send out the tanks when the rebellion gets loud enough.
"China’s leadership also does not have to give one turd if their economy suffers a mild dip, because they do not have to worry about buttering up the populace ahead of any elections."
China's leadership very much does care about that, as economic growth is entirely the basis of their claim to legitimacy. They don't care about _elections_, but they do care about large mobs of angry citizens in the streets.
Even if there are angry mobs in the streets, they’ll send out the army to quell the rebellion. There will be some tut-tutting from western nations that depend on Chinese manufacturing, but nothing will change.
'Will no one rid us of this troublesome game show host?"
TARIFFS, EXPLAINED TO A FOUR-YEAR-OLD:
I am selling you this apple.
The price you pay is 25 cents.
You are putting a 100% tariff on it.
The price is now 50 cents.
OK, so buy it from me for 50 cents.
THIS. IS. THE. CONCEPT. OUR. PRESIDENT. DOES. NOT. UNDERSTAND.

“China doesn’t need to get their peaches from down in Georgia”
So, they don’t really love our peaches and don’t wanna shake our tree?
Trump did not get an MBA from Wharton. He got a bachelors. Never went to grad school

The EU Parliament never got around to enacting their tariff legislation from last year’s agreements.

… ended in surrender, we should note.
Great article but on minor correction: Canada put the 100% tarrif on Chinese EVs in 2024. It was in solidarity with Biden, not Trump.
These here tariffs are gonna be worth fuckal once the Dollar is replaced by, I dunno, soybeans?, as the Reserve Currency.

China’s record on human rights is abysmal.
The crux of the biscuit is that while China is suffering as you detail, the leadership doesn’t care whether the people starve or whatever. They’ll just send out the tanks when the rebellion gets loud enough.
And that was AFTER an estimated 20M deaths from the Japanese invasion FFS
Do I detect an Ed Anger reference in the lede?

Trump does not have an MBA from Wharton or anywhere else. He has a bachelor's degree, barely. He was at the bottom of his class.
Do your research. We cannot afford to be wrong.
Reread the story.
MBA stands for Mammoth Big Asshole.
