Since 2013, China has been investing in foreign infrastructure through Belt and Road, which now touches some 145 countries across every continent in the world. China has used that to establish economic ties to countries which absolutely will slow them just tying themselves to the US. And that doesn’t begin to discuss countries as trading partners. To imply that the entire world has picked the US over China displays a simplicity of logic that certainly doesn’t deserve the absolute authority you are claiming to have.


Do yourself a favor and just Google "Belt and Road Disaster" and get back to the board

Its always been mostly about china.


But if you dont wave your fist at other countries for allowing china to sell their crap through them, then you dont really do anything to hurt china.

This is a complete shite show.

Zero strategy

It should be obvious that the strategy was getting the over 70 countries lined up to talk, which they have done, and to absolutely squeeze Chini's balls because he's been ripping us off for decades.

I'm sorry you can't see that, but it's abundantly clear to the rest of us.

Everything has been retaliatory. Once you accept that, this whole process will be a lot easier to understand.

Yeah I totally get we're just we're not following a plan and going based on feel and response. I'm used to leaders having a plan and executing I guess...

Trump didn't have a 5 step plan. He had a 2 step plan . Everything else has been dependent with what each country counters in return.


So every country but China has made their trade equal for 90 days?

75 countries reached out willing to work with US. Only one that I know of has implemented retaliatory increases

Everybody wants the same goals, there are just different ways to get there. Trump's way isn't yours. That's ok. The end result is all that matters

I never thought I’d see “conservatives” or “republicans” cheer on this much government intervention in the market place

You're used to leaders with plans, or you're used to leaders who have globalist plans? And when you say "used to" you mean prefer. You prefer the same old bullshite because you ARE the same old bullshite.

Like a possible war with China?


Would be justified considering the 100,000's of Americans they have directly killed with Fentanyl supply, and unleashing Covid on the world.

China has been fricking everybody for 20 years on trade.

THEY HATE US AND WE ARE THEIR ENEMY. They are actively undermining us every step of the way. Stealing YOUR data and using it against you every single day. China does not want you to succeed. If they could slice your throat they would.

All of the drones everywhere, buying up farmland, BRICS intention, tariffing the shite out of us and gutting American jobs with slave labor both in China and in Mexico.

90,000 plants and factories have been closed since the implementation of NAFTA. Not jobs, total factories and plants.

Why do you feel that is OK and for huge corporations to make more money by taking advantage of slave labor with China enriching themselves even more yearly?

Why are you siding with China? Do you hate America? Do you not want American jobs?

You should be cheering this on.

I'm not even talking politics. Leaders in business or within the community. You not only need a vision but must be able to guide people successfully to get there. If nothing else you have to admit the communication of the plan and benefit explanation has been bad.

The strategy is probably too subtle for you, and his finesse impossible for you to understand.

He brought the countries out of their things-as-usual lethargy and let them know that those times are over. Adults are in charge, and there are consequences for actions against the best interests of the US. NOW he has their attention and they have had to wake up and smell the new reality.

The phones are ringing off the hook and everyone, big or small, wants to negotiate. Except China!

It's really not so complicated, and the beauty is in the simplicity of the strategy. But perphaps not for some!


Well stated!!

If he does this any other way it doesn’t work. Its genius actually.
