I read today that one of his secretaries said that China had miscalculated, because China exports roughly four times as much to the U.S. as the U.S. imports to China, and he said that that makes the U.S. a lot stronger than China, that it would give the U.S. a better bargaining position.
That’s like a wealthy family in a small town saying they can outlast the grocery store if the grocery store decides to stop selling food to you.
The 4% is what really sends me. I understand it’s just coming from their new nonsensical 34% tariffs but just…you’re already doubling the cost wtf is the point of the extra 4%? Just go for a flashy round 100%, they can’t even be evil right!
104%?
Is this the fucking Onion?!
No, it’s the fucking orange shitstain… 🍊💩
It’s crazy,
But Trump is probably stupider than what the Onion was able to imagine!
