“What is Christmas in the United States without China?”

This made me chuckle.. and so true.. they had a report on amount of toys purchased by Americans … it was staggering.. I do not recall specifics but Hugh.

Trump promises alot of things, doesn't he.

Chinese manufacturing comes back to the United States right after Mexico pays for that big, beautiful wall and "millions and millions" of Mexicans are deported (snort laugh).

On the subject though of all those manufacturing jobs. Who's going to want them? It's largely unskilled labor. The non-union wage for jobs like that is about 17 or 18/hr.

That's really a rhetorical question. Those "millions and millions" of Mexicans Trump won't deport will want them.

If I were in China’s shoes I would be looking for opportunities with the rest of the globe to purchase what the American market is expected to shrink by. If they can get most of that covered they’ll be in decent shape. We won’t entirely shut them out, we can’t right now, and won’t be able to for quite some time.

We don’t sell goods in China.. they sell all of their cheap arse shite goods in America.

If they want to play hardball it is not going to end up well for China.

Other counties come in and start taking market share from China until China bends the knee. I say it last 6-7 months

Exactly how it did in his first term, when Trump came at China and forced their hand in negotiating a better trade deal with us. All the libs and TDS nerds, news pundits etc., cried then about how stupid it was for Trump to pick this fight, he was going to destroy the economy blah blah blah, just like they are now... A few weeks later, China relented and came to the table, agreeing to a better trade deal with the U.S.. Trump did the same with Mexico, Canada etc. We went on to have one of the best economies and strongest job markets this nation has ever seen.

He filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy twice on his Atlantic City casinos.Trump owns hundreds of successful businesses today.

Trump has never once filed for personal bankruptcy.

And he has successfully made himself a billionaire and two time president.

Sorry that isn’t successful to your resume.

Trump ain't losing. He didn't lose against China in his first term either. So, sorry your TDS sees you hating him more than loving your country... but you're about to be disappointed once again that your Daddy Trump comes out as a winner and proven right.

Get your box of tissues and your xanax ready, and find a comfortable spot to curl up in the fetal position on the floor. Pussy.

This is exactly why progs are retarded. They don't understand a company going under vs filing personal bankruptcy.

The American media will echo the American consumer.


No they won't, you fricking tard. The American media lied for four years about how supposedly great the Biden economy was, while American consumers were clearly seeing with their own eyes and bitching about the price of everything doubling... gas, groceries etc.

The media just parroted the Democrat/liberal narrative and were not honest about it at all, nor did they make any effort to call the Biden admin on it or have them answer for it.

Americans saw right through it and that had a lot to do with Trump winning re-election. But if you think you can count on the media to be truthful and be the voice of the American people, you're crazy. The media is the voice of the elites who use it to tell the people what they want them to think.

Anyone who hasn't picked up on that by now, they're oblivious.

I love how none of these scenarios allow for Trump to lose lol.

The US is the largest economy in the world, and is running a $1T trade deficit. Those two facts create a tailwind for Trump.

States sue China over Covid. We take back our farms, land buildings China bought. We block trade with them, expel their citizens and convince our 0 tariffs trade partners to stop dealing with China.
Russia sides with US and China crumbles under its own weight

I didn't say the American media can be trusted, they can't, but they will absolutely echo how Americans are displeased. If shite continues to go south, you'll see that displeasure first in polls and then at the voting booth.

I fear the lack of American tolerance for discomfort is going to greatly disappoint this board.

Probably a combination where the field gets leveled some and both parties claim a victory.

Or Chyna survives until the mid-terms and helps the Ds retake both chambers through cheating and Trump is executed along the way.


That’s actually quite plausible.

Chyna Virus 2.0 …the sequel. Worked last time, but they’ll go to the well one time too many times. Country is not shutting down over the flu again.

They will compromise and meet halfway. China has to, we make up a lot of their market share.

No, it wouldn't. It could still mean moving some mfg back. All the Panicans keep talking like everything is all or nothing. You keep pushing the narrative that if all mfg is not returned to the US, then Trump is a liar or failure.

Anyone with common sense knows it was never going to be all mfg. You communist China supporters just don't have any valid arguments left, so you have to try to poorly reframe the narrative in a last ditch effort to save face.

We've seen it many times before. Trump wins, but his detractors try to claim it was not a victory based on some lame technicality they pulled out of their asses.
