frick China. China considers the USA to be their Enemy Number One and it is time for the US electorate to elect leaders who realize this FACT.

soybean farmers stick in there with Trump?


Plenty of other places that will purchase farm products... You act like if China buys their soybeans from somewhere else, that there is not a void created for U.S. soybeans to fill...

Do you even understand how all that works?

He's likely rooting for a failed economy just like their hero Bill Maher.

"I'm hoping for a crashing economy".

Sicko progressives. But hey, they were honest. By any means necessary. Try to kill legislators - check Cheer for a bad economy - check Claim Trump is kidnapping children at the border - check

The depravity is mind-blowing but sadly, I believe we are getting used to it even as they get more depraved.

Of course they would! It's extremely one sided to their advantage.

Good thing you aren't President, you'd have countries telling you their own terms and accepting it all... because that's what they want...

Sad!

appears that it is no longer just posturing here. China is making moves to decrease our trade leverage on them.


And yo get them done more efficiently, all they had to do was devalue their currency by trillions? Yeah, not buying it.
Why is it they weren't trading with those countries instead of us in the first place?

Are you too stupid to read your own post and notice they have to lower tariffs on those others to get the business? So either deal with us or deal with others, but the tariffs are cut.

We have this battle won, and it ain't even close

When muh Russia fails, the economy succeeds, and everyone no longer cares about Stormy’s vagina, Trump haters will throw any shite against the wall and hope it sticks!

Now comes Death by Trade War! We won’t win! Trump is an economic moron.

Are you really that libtarded? Or are you just used to misleading libtards?

Two for one response.
quote:

You can deal with it thru strategic trade alliances, or thru escalating rhetoric. We've chosen the latter so we'll see how it works out. Fingers crossed that it works out.

Libtard translation: strategic trade alliances always work, but Trump just escalates rhetoric. And he will probably fail.
Wrong.
The strategic trade alliance approach failed under Obama, W, Clinton, and Bush the Elder. Are you saying Trump will succeed after 3 decades of failure with this approach?

Are you so tarded that you want another decade of Chinese trade rape? Are you making money assisting China raping us? Or are you a Trump hater that just opposes everything Trump does?
quote:

Another thing to consider is the Soybean tariff. President Xi is there for life. If this soybean tariff keeps escalating, it could effect Trump supporters in swing states. It could hurt Xi too, but he's willing to have his people suffer. Will soybean farmers stick in there with Trump?

Wow! Somebody doesn’t understand supply and demand. Buy an used high school economics book!

The only way China can harm American soybeans is to stop eating soybeans!
Soybean suppliers have contracts with their buyers, and you cannot instantly increase production. You also ignore the economic costs of increasing production. So let’s leave libtardland an look at reality.
1-So China tries to replace all American bean from other growers. But most of those beans are already sold to non Chinese markets. China can pay a premium to the owners of these markets paying more for the beans they eat. Works, but these markets are now free to buy replacement beans from America! Results: China loses, the secondary markets win, and America breaks even!
2-China tries to get these bean growers to produce more beans. First, they have to wait for the harvest part of the next growing season. Their people experience protean shortages! Next, the producers now have to expand the growing areas. This means marginal land is cultivated with increased production costs. Or other crops are replaced with bean increasing the price of these prices. Therefore China again pays more for beans. America? We have a year to find customers for our cheaper beans. US even, China protein starved and trade deficit!

Bottom line soybean supply is fixed at any price point. Chinese demand is fixed because all other protein sources are substantially higher.

Results higher market volatility in world soybean commodity markets with traders winning (some winners and some losers), farmers breaking even (some winners and losers), and China loses: less protein at higher costs.

“We’re going to lose a soybean trade war”, is only accurate if spoken in Mandarin!

Take your Trump hate to DU were they believe anything no mater how tarded!

Combined GDP of those 5 countries using IMF numbers - $4.9 trillion/yr.

US GDP using IMF numbers - $20.4 trillion per year

Yeah baby, the Chinese are really going to do well with better access to those 5 than the US. They will really show us...

ETA - Another US economic power fun fact. The US accounts for 4% of the worlds population, but 25% of the worlds GDP (20.4 compared to 79.8).


The Chinese have 18% of the worlds population and account for 17% of world GDP.

Of course they would prefer to continue the current system where they frick us over at every opportunity. The question is , why do so many Americans also want to?

This is emblematic of why the "world view of the US" has declined since Trump became President. The world doesn't like a US President who says "okay no more fricking us over " after decades of every country on the planet doing exactly that.

Doesn't matter. We are China's #1 customer for their exports. They can replace imported goods, but they have nowhere to send their cheap shite.

Without us, their economy will collapse

Typical Trump cult logic.

Trump starts trade war with China. China adjusts to remove U.S. leverage.

Trade war weakens the USA.

Liberals think trade war is bad policy which will weaken USA.

Trump cult says, "why do you liberals relish a weak USA?"

Trump is the one doing this.
