More like Hiroshima. He is going to collapse their economy.
A) I don't think 104% tariffs will do that; not with so many alternate paths for their goods as it stands today

B) If we erode or take away their alternate paths for goods, then maybe.

C) I don't think Trump seeks or wants to collapse their economy. He wants, at a minimum, to move it from predatory to balanced. And if he can flip the script on them, sure... but getting them off the predatory path is a win for all.

I will note something between chaos/recession and collapse very likely hurts Russia quite deeply. This may be a path, intentional or unintentional, to causing Russia to negotiate a less favorable end to the Ukrainian war. If China's demand for below-market priced (i.e. already painful for Russia) drops... Russia is fricked.

Each step in an alternate path adds cost

Not much of an economic threat, but a military one.

China doomed itself with its success and one child policy. Companies have been offshoring for years, mainly to Vietnam, India and Mexico.


THis entire MAGA movement would have made more sense 20 years ago.

75% of the early morning market gains are gone. Small companies really taking it on the chin with small caps down nearly 1% again.


Look at me, I think like an emotional woman and can’t project 6 months or even 2 months down the road.

frick the millions of jobs that will come from this.

frick inflation being nearly eliminated despite the last regime printing trillions of bills.

frick actually getting our balls back and the now 60+ countries around the world that have towed the line.

frick putting America first! The stock market was down a few percent for a few days! OMG!

They really suck at it.

Theyre shedding export manufacturing like a stripper sheds clothes at a royal Batchelor party.

Their one child policy doomed their future.
