Trump threatens tariffs on countries that ‘discriminate’ against US tech

Yes and it mirrors his beliefs on young girls expressing sovereignty over their bodies too.

best i can do is shoot myself in the knees

With how things are going is might become the largest one

We kinda need all support we can get considering the blood-thirsty bear to the east. It would be very unwise at this point to go and poke the big hungry bear on the west. We can defend ourselves with a few sticks at best at this point. Or we have a bazooka, but politicians unwilling to use anything but a stick. One of those two.

The U.S. is the world’s largest consumer market by a factor of 3. So it’s more accurate to say “Give me what I want or I’ll take away a sizable chunk of your customers, potentially causing you financial ruin”

You and I both know that the U.S. won’t just magically and instantly stand up its own production to replace your countries market, but in this case he just needs American companies to start importing from a different foreign country with lower tariffs. The effect this has on your country depends on how much your country’s GDP comes from exports to America, but it’s potentially very harmful.

As an American this sucks because long term, long after this dude is gone, our trading partners will have already adjusted who they’re exporting to in order to absorb a loss like this, and I doubt that’d change for decades.

Well you see he's a profoundly stupid man that sincerely believes tariffs are paid by the producer, not the importer and he's so sure of himself that it's literally impossible that he is wrong about anything, ever.

Brainwashing and propaganda to sell internally. He's preping all americans to hate everything that is outside of them and to blame on those pesky other bad countries. He's basically ensuring he has enough bodies to use for war.

when will they learn you cant negotiate with terrorists?

Is an angry child with a loaded gun to be taken seriously?
