Barmy Trump attacks world trade in rage at China

[morqthana]

Bessent added: “They are in the middle of a recession/depression, and they are trying to export their way out of it.

So they are trying to export their way out of trouble.

By imposing export controls.

 

[morqthana]

All true of morqthana

No, all falsehoods.

But you know that, and don't care if what you say is true or not, you just want to lash out at people who disagree with you.

Its the personal abuse that is what i am on about.

You mean the personal abuse which you think is OK when you level it at others because you've run out of reasoned and fact-based ways to support your views.

OK.

T'is the way of the world uneducated, ignorant, typical brexit voting, typical reform supporting, typical Trump supporter on here.

Trump's poodle threatens to take revenge on China by stopping imports! Having already obstructed them with massive taxes!

China has spent 17 years building its industry and international trade. It has the world's largest market for what it produces, and is the sole source of many essential materials.

American has done nothing to build alternatives to the rare earths and minerals it imports from Chjna.

Bessent is threatening to, um, stop making magnets, electric motors, EVs, batteries, and chips.

That will teach 'em, eh?

Trump wanted a trade war, created a trade war, has got a trade war, and is losing a trade war.

Dummy.

Which means what?

Anyway - I can let them have some earth, if they're short. Might not be very much, but I'll get it by digging my garden, which will make it bl..dy rare indeed.

you are missing the deeper picture as you so often do - Trumps Tariffs are all about making America strong and self reliant. Over the past few decades too many previous govs have allowed manufacturing to go abroad for short self term gain, the dangers in that are becoming over reliant on other (sometimes hostile) nations, and then open to their exploitation.

Trump does not want to end up like the UK who has given about everything away and now fully at the mercy of other nations - look how we are grovelling around China, just embarrassing

we need a Trump

Despite my humour, I support correct use of said apostrophe....

Ok, I agree with the theory. But the practice means everything becomes more expensive until production costs (labour rates) fall to the lowest (or close to) in the world

Yes. We sold off everything to make finance our only real business. And now we are facing threats to that. But it was a conscious decision.

we need a Trump

No, we absolutely don't, for many many reasons

What we need is long term business not short term profit which has been the mantra for our decline long term

I support the correct use of full stops.

By impoverishing the American people. I bet some of the Maga crowd still think they are a tax which foreign manufacturers pay.
