Some of you might lose, jobs, house and even die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to take.

It's so weird hoping that China tears America a new ass hole.
Fuck him up Xi.
It feels a bit like the fat bully in the playground picking a fight with the weird asian kid who is actually a kung fu black belt.
It might shock Trump to learn that most of the shit American's like to buy comes from other countries, and no one really likes to buy American stuff. Wild.

Except the fat bully doesn’t get punished. Just a significant number of people who voted for him, and even more who didn’t. Too bad we can’t just pay tariffs based on political party.

China is very much aware that this is its moment. Position itself as an alternative to Trump’s chaos that isn’t afraid of him and offers a different path.
Militarily, China is outmatched by a wide margin, but combine economic strategy with diplomacy in the face of a superior rival’s extreme, unforced mistakes, and China is seeing a path to win the 21st century without having to fight.

Yeah. We're all on board this wild ride and none of us are experts, but I really do have a strong suspicion that this thing is going to go real bad for Trump in a very meaningful way.
It's not just like the time he said whatever stupid thing. He's really fucked everyone for no reason and even his supporters are going to judge him harshly when they lose their jobs and everything costs twice as much.

Oh, I think we should just stop buying things.
Like, altogether.
Lets hit a great depression, and let THAT be trumps legacy. Killing over 1 million americans intentionally, and crashing the global economy intentionally.

This whole situation is just embarrassing and scary, as is the entire Trump presidency, but I'd like to point out that the US exports a fuckton of goods and services around the world. At least, the US used to export a fuckton of goods and services around the world.

Yeah. I'm hard pressed to think of any physical goods of American origin that I would have in my home. I have noticed grapes and mandarines from the US at the supermarket but definitely no household items.
You're right about services, like digital products and software. In my own personal case there isn't much but I don't think I'm indicative of Australians generally.
I think this is why the Australian government chose not to implement tariffs. We buy American things like airplanes and microsoft windows. There's no substitute for them locally so what would be the point of a tariff ?

The US’s largest “share” of exports to china vs other countries are soybeans and jet engines. China has spent the past decade and a half working to diversify their imports so this exact thing wouldn’t destroy their economy.

Whole world, including island with only penguins, should join China on this.

I was thinking about buying a Schiit headphone amplifier (no joke on the name!), now the USA can get focked.

On the long term, the US won't work without Chinese products and markets. It will not be funny for China, but it will seriously hurt the US.

Even if people like American stuff they're not getting paid American salaries to buy those things.
I really like some Peak Design products I bought last year but those were quite expensive for me.

This is where you got it wrong, his accolytes are in this as a matter of faith, if the orange cunt makes them lose their job, he only needs to blame "the woke" and they will believe it.
China must send the US to the great depression era all over again and even then, I'm not sure the magats will stop voting for him

How can they ? Trump has cancelled negotiations.
Anyway, he'll just change his mind tomorrow. Or sign an agreement and then renege on it.
