When Trump says "BUY", it may indeed be your last chance to sell.

This trade war has the finesse of 52 Card Pick-Up...not chess in any dimension.

Or if the World Leaders don’t beg him, he’ll just pretend they did and claim victory anyway.

He's already telling Sir stories about countries coming to "kiss [his] ass" and beg for a deal.

Ta, Marcie. Sigh. That Thing in the Offal Office does not understand how anything works. Nothing ever has, and nothing ever will, sink into that empty head and that black hole where a heart should be. He's like all of Dorothy's companions from The Wizard of Oz rolled into one: he has no brain, no heart, and no courage. He's nothing but ego and grievance. I hope we all survive this intact.

Reading that first FFOTUS excerpt, one has to wonder if he has as little understanding of the word "preemptive" as he does "reciprocal".

So, the response to all the bullshit from the right to explain this as a good thing should be, "He backed down."

Things that we should be manufacturing here with heavy subsidies:

1. Medical supplies, including essential medicines and PPE (and we have the ability, but manufacturers aren’t going to spend millions making the switch without a buyer!)

2. Heavy artillery for Ukraine

American manufacturing this administration refuses to support:

Just clearing the tills to make room for the new Trump $250.00 bills -- which will be worth $5.00 in what we'll call "Early 2025 U.S. Dollars".

I wonder who finally got thru to him? What tactic did they use? I dont see anyone around him who would talk sense to him.

Worth noting that only the Chinese Communist Party had the strength and courage to stand up to $hitler after our grotesque, worthless, American national security, political, legal, and business "leaders" collapsed in abject terrah and appeasement of the twice-impeached, convicted felon, rapist, terrorist, and traitor that's destroying our own government on behalf of Russia's Putin.

Just making this ordeal extra humiliating for Americans with functioning brains.

Strategy is a strong word, Marcie.

No tariffs would be charged on Chinese Elmo Sex Bots, where the Vacujak odometers run metric for imperial so as not to wiener-shame MAGA InCels. Allegedly.
