It's brilliant! I just wish we knew how low Donnie Boy wants to take the market.

I think as we get closer to the 90-day deadline for our partners to pick a side (China or us), it's going to get a lot noisier and more volatile, particularly as the impact of disrupted supply chains gets more pronounced. But beyond supply chain disruption, the administration is going to be surprised (I think, anyway) at the willingness of trading partners to continue trading with China despite our attempted threats.

That is where I think things could either go one of two directions: the Trump administration secretly accepts defeat behind closed doors and our trading partners work with us to find a face-saving way out of this mess, or Trump figuratively throws his dinner against the wall and we get an economic and diplomatic world war in earnest, and if that happens, I don't think too many people here are going to like the results.

For its part, China has said it is willing to talk if it is treated with respect, which I interpret to mean that China is giving Trump an off ramp. MAGA's supporters are probably already crowing and beating their chest, thinking this is some sort of victory and validation of their approach. It's not. Xi does not want this war to deepen because a full-scale economic/diplomatic war would be disruptive and destabilizing for China, too. But it would be more so for the United States, particularly given the political polarization and instability here as of late.

that is all we need to do on this forum. and i congratulate you all for thinking; you don't have to come up with Brilliant answers or better ones than i give...

but thinking is sufficient.

and i give Likes to both sides when they do Think. that is probably the best thing going on here; i suppose we may learn something some days. prolly not a whole lot, but we do learn to think.

it is crucial that we all learn to think for the next 4 years also: the Party is over and gone. all your left with is your ability to think..........and read.

if you do read, then start here and i have more if you need some more Insights: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=american+technate,+Dark+Maga&ia=web the Intellects writing these things are basically ignored, the Sheep/dee cee run toward the Cliff thinking this is 'fun'.

the sheep so far don't understand the Mortal Peril they are in for................so i give it to you straight.

i don't think we do, and i don't think you know who the real Oligarchs running the show are. the Masters work behind the Screen, not out in front.


the show must go on.

We know that one man runs the show now. I doubt he even has security clearance, he just bought his way into our lives. Trump was narcissistic enough to let it happen.
