Summary

Donald Trump lashed out at China for retaliating against his new tariffs, calling the country the "biggest abuser" of U.S. trade.

After Trump imposed an additional 34% tariff on Chinese goods, China responded with its own 34% tariff on U.S. products and suspended key imports.

Financial markets in both countries plunged, with U.S. economists warning of a potential recession.

Despite backlash, Trump defended his strategy, urging the Fed to cut rates and calling the tariffs a path to long-term gain. Critics warn of global economic instability and rising protectionism.

"W-when I specifically asked you not to...?"

Trump is incredibly weak. It blows my mind that anyone looks at that slug and sees anything other than a despicable, pathetic cretin.

Have you ever interacted with a magat?

They are cowards. All they have going for them is that they are going to call the cops or get their gun. They don't see trump as a sniveling coward. They se themselves. And since they are big and strong that means trump is big and strong.

100%

I work with some die hard MAGA (one had a custom "NFOWARS" plate until he crashed his car driving drunk) and this describes them to a T. Weak people that see weak people act like "strong men" on TV and latch their whole identity onto them.
