The heck is happening?

Markets do not trust him anymore. Also, investors have likely figured out that a 10% baseline tariff (coupled with a de facto trade embargo on the chongs) has the potential to increase inflation, decrease real growth and result in a recession so the broader risks remain.

Additionally, a NYT report claims that Trump was practically forced to announce a 90 day 'pause' cause of a bond market meltdown and that his long term tariff agenda remain unchanged.

Few liberals sneaking in these days. Plenty of chongs and Europeans.

4chan, 9GAG and xitter show why relaxed content moderation standards do not work. SM platforms should be held to more stringent content standrads, not less - free speech absolutism is not the answer the avg disgruntled user is looking for.

The unprecedented airlift, involving around 600 tonnes of devices, showed Apple’s behind-the-scenes scramble to shield its lucrative US market from the financial fallout of Trump’s sweeping tariff regime​

 
The US-China Trade War: A Threat to the Global Economy

The US-China trade war has severe consequences for the global economy. For decades, China capitalized on America’s demand for inexpensive goods, while the U.S. mistakenly funnelled money, technology, and resources into a single-source supply chain. Now, as the trade conflict escalates, China is leveraging its dominance, knowing it can disrupt the American economy by restricting critical exports.

This is a dangerous situation.

Raising tariffs in an endless tit-for-tat will not resolve the impasse. Instead, the long-term solution lies in diversifying supply chains. Had the U.S. developed alternative sourcing 10 to 15 years ago, it would now have viable options to mitigate China’s influence.

Building new supply chains will take time—three to five years at minimum. Even bringing manufacturing back home will require a similar timeframe. So, what should be done in the meantime?

One approach is to send Elon Musk and other influential business leaders to China to negotiate a temporary ceasefire on tariffs. A 3–5 year suspension of tariffs on both sides would provide the necessary window to develop alternative supply networks, reducing reliance on any single country and ensuring greater economic stability in the future.
 
9GAG turning on MAGAtards? Damn, what a time to be alive, haha.

What is next? 4chan turning on white supremacists? :bplease:
Its the Eurofags and NAFOfags , always outnumbering magatards.
 
Naya jakham incoming by unkil.
1.5 million fee for any ship owner that owns or has chinese ships on order PER port visit.
This includes all ship owners BTW .. no one is without chinese ships.
FYI . For the year of 2025 chinese shipbuilders have a total orders of 13 bulk carriers 12 ordered in jan 1 in feb 0 in march at the same time japanese ship builders got an order for 21 bulk carriers.
Japan and korea have a limit on how many ship workers that they can get. Hence they are looking to expand in India.
US is also going to mandate that all US exporters use US built ships (jones act on steroids). If this retardation goes through GOI should go for a 0 - 0% deal .. Cause these retards wont be able to ship anything out.. at all.
I base this assumption on the failure of the jones act.

Frankly it doesn't seem plausible. Besides this is CNN reporting. The thing about Trump is he doesn't give a damn , he's all about TRP - good or bad as long HE is the news not merely content to be in the news & coz of all these traits , you've people who despise him & everything he stands for land up with plenty of material to take pot shots at him .

Arguably , people around him last time may have asked him to tone it down yet he didn't & It cost him the election .

Do you actually think he's going to give a damn this time ?

It makes sense tho. A de facto trade embargo on the chongs automatically results in near double digit inflation and a recession in the burgerland. Now factor in a 10% baseline tariff on the rest of the world and you are set for a total bloodbath. The same article claims that the chong diplomats are not wiiling to engage at all because they are well aware of the desperation of a section of the Trump administration.
 
China -US trade war

The ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China cannot be fully understood without acknowledging that it was America’s own misguided policies over the past 30 years that paved the way for China’s rise. The U.S. played a central role in building China into a single-source manufacturing hub. Now, the consequences of that strategy are becoming clear. China has signalled to President Trump that if tariffs hurt China, they will hurt America even more. With control over critical supply chains, China holds the power to disrupt the American economy in return.

This realization only truly hit Washington after President Trump imposed tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods, prompting a swift retaliation from Beijing with 135% tariffs on American products.

President Trump anticipated that China would buckle under the weight of these tariffs, but that hasn’t happened. The Chinese remain confident that the pressure will ultimately hurt the U.S. more than them. They believe this is a self-inflicted wound on Trump’s part and are betting that he will be the first to back down. They appear unconcerned by factory closures and domestic economic strain.

Now, Trump faces mounting pressure to de-escalate and call for a ceasefire. However, he’s hoping that China will be the one to make the first move. Both sides are locked in a standoff, unwilling to blink first — a commercial Cold War in full effect.

To check China’s growing influence, it’s crucial for President Trump to maintain a tough stance. Strategic commercial and political pressure must continue to build on China. A degree of economic pain on their end is necessary to force a shift in behavior. The end goal must be to curb China’s use of predatory trade practices and currency manipulation to gain unfair advantages.

If President Trump calls for a ceasefire and invites China to the negotiating table, it will be perceived as a victory for Beijing. It would elevate China’s status as a global power and bolster their position on the world stage.

Therefore, President Trump must stay the course. Continue the tariffs. This is a fight for long-term strategic balance — and America must not flinch.
 
Whelp there it goes.. Now we are back to equal equal in the category we most care about. This gives our negotiating team more leverage.. as it does to literally everyone else.
The US was in decline in anycase and I saw this as their last ditch flailing attempt to claw it back with our concern being to avoid getting hit and try to profit. This is such an embarrassing capitulation . They tried to change things and folded in less than a month.
