Trump says he may give China reduction in tariffs to get TikTok deal done
-
I wish I could be smart enough to pull off the kind of deals this dumb fuck does
You don’t need to be smart you need to have the support of the oligarchs who want a corporatacracy, and Putin, who wants the west to fall
-
Please do, so we can get some quality, cheap, electric cars

Why would China care?
Fat Ass is literally shoveling 80 years worth of soft power right into Chinas mouth. That's worth 1000 tic toks or his stupid tariffs.
Fucking idiots.
I'm pretty sure this will involve having another Reich wing asshole running the US tictok so they can increase their propaganda reach. They don't give a single fuck about Americans power elsewhere, they only care about ruling America.

This is what he wants to use his supposed leverage for? Of course it is. Stupid fucking timeline.

This is playground level negotiation and I just don't understand why those in the shadows who understand something of the complexity of the world are letting him run around with dog shit on a stick.

I knew Trump would ally with Russia over our actual allies, or maybe I should say historical allies, but China getting better treatment to surprised me. It was such a boogyman for his first term, now no one cares hes cozying up to them.

Create a problem, sell the solution

I work with China. They need our business. One of my suppliers said they are 75% export.

Art of the deal 🥴
Wharton’s Finest!!! Top of his class right?

China has the entire developing world, their own growing middle class, and europe for import/export. There is nothing america produces that is exclusive or the best cost, and with the us economy dying it's not like china can sell to the us profitably for a while.

Exhaust parts. They are migrating to EV. We aren’t. My suppliers are panicking. At the same time the cost of labor and material is so low that now I’m moving Mexico parts to China. It’s still too costly here.

...you understand how tiny of an industry that is compared to nearly anything else china exports, right?
And the entire world is going towards evs, even developing countries since generators are more efficient over time than dealing with all the parts of a ice vehicle.
Some businesses might go under if they somehow can't pivot their floors to produce something more profitable, but the entire 'problem' western firms have when competing with china is that they're set up to easily pivot and expand production to different items.

I do understand and I’m not sure it will be around long enough for me to retire. Especially with SS probably being dismantled.

No one is gonna start producing cheap shitty knick-knacks in the US. The will continue to be maid in China, only now they will be twice as expensive

I don't think you understand what China is doing.
They are using the softpower tactic to get countries to drown in debt to China. They then legally seize everything not nailed down and hollow out these countries walking away with resources and all the moneyTHAT is the Belt and Road initiative.

So then you were probably already buying steel from US steel or Cleveland cliffs. Most automotive ateel in the US is purchased from those two firms
