Summary

Donald Trump lashed out at China for retaliating against his new tariffs, calling the country the “biggest abuser” of U.S. trade.

After Trump imposed an additional 34% tariff on Chinese goods, China responded with its own 34% tariff on U.S. products and suspended key imports.

Financial markets in both countries plunged, with U.S. economists warning of a potential recession.

Despite backlash, Trump defended his strategy, urging the Fed to cut rates and calling the tariffs a path to long-term gain. Critics warn of global economic instability and rising protectionism.

    Spend some time watching the MAGA media ecosystem

    I have. I have family, some of whom I lived with during some of the MAGA years.

    He’s no less pathetic there.

    At some point, you have to accept that people legitimately love the bullshit spewing out of his mouth. The people who go to his rallies and watch him live, no intermediaries, fall over themselves with adoration.
