Are Trump's Asia tariffs a 'full-frontal assault' on China?

[k1976]

China fires back. All these will Escalate

A bit too late

 

[syed putra]

Trump crashed inflation

That's because people are staying home and not spending anymore.

threatened to take military action against Iran's nuclear program if they refused to engage in discussions with the US

Iran opened up for discussion but US avoided it. Iran has a new president. The previous one died in a helicopter mishap.

Now Beekok want to export energy , so no way it will nego with Iran now

Currently Europe is a captive market for US energy. I cannot believe the idiocy in EU. They accept high energy price plus tariffs from a ally. And Europe wants the war in Ukraine to continue.

The US is fucked just by one man. Those who voted for him truly deserved it. Really cannot understand why would they want a man with at least 6 bankruptcies to be their President? Really bonkers.

I would want trump in Sg. He is there not for GDP only, pro biz or stock investors to be richer & richer like our SG leaders. He is pro jobs for American not immigrate. Economy will deflate, so what? It's correction, economic equilibrium we had been waiting for. Not bonkers at all.

Go ahead and get your wish. Pro biz? You got to be kidding. You want a leader who lies through his nose and had at least 6 bankruptcies to his record? He's clearly not cut out to be a businessman. He's also a sexual predator, going around groping pussies. Maybe you are inviting for your wife's or your daughter's pussy to be groped by him as well?

Also, do you want a leader who will tell you straight in your face: I couldn't care less if prices go up. Don't kid yourself when you already kpkb when PAP increases the HDB prices.

Stock investors to be richer and richer? He had just crashed the market by more than 15% barely in the first 100 days into his job. Can you read the statistics? Yes, those who dare to invest during this period may stand to gain for the long term, but how long?

Economic equilibrium? Don't you realize that today's carnage is all caused by 1 single man and his bunch of oligarch cronies? It's not due to a pandemic, natural catastrophe nor disaster.

Even if the other countries will cut their American import tariffs to zero, how much can they purchase? How many types of cheap American products can the US sells to them? Just in my house alone, I can't even find 1 household appliance which is Made-In-America. Can you?

You tell me that Elon cuts jobs at the government administration on the pretext of reducing redundancy, but later rehired back 20% of them. Has he done any due diligence in his job cuts? He is just simply slash and burn as he doesn't even care in order to please Trump. Now that he couldn't save Wisconsin for Trump, the latter is now wanting him out (get out).

It will be useless trying to explain how some business are run as you are not able to differentiate bankruptcy in companies & a bankrupt. Business open & closed & open....
Is trump a bankrupt?
Unfortunately your house do not have anything made in USA but mine bought in mid 90s, really solid Fridge is indeed made in USA 609L Whirlpool still working well as body us solid metal, the trays are either metal or solid tampered glass & condenser solid. Don't trust any thing made in China as the plastics parts are so poor quality. Let the world burn with lots of waste & all shelf life is short.
We are talking about leaders pro jobs low levels, not CS so fat, govt spendings so fat from taxpayers. Hope you at least read EC101 or half knowledge is terrible when misleading others. It shows.

Trump would have been in jail now if he was not elected in Nov 2024. A capable and honest businessman will definitely has the least intention to get his own companies bankrupted.

Presently, goods Made-In-USA are not necessarily good. Go and read up how people are trashing vehicles from GM and FORD. Even USA made TOYOTAs cannot be compared to their Japanese counterpart in terms of refinement and quality. They won't last as compared to your 90s appliances. There have been several instances of Whirlpool refrigerators catching fires. Go and GOOGLE for yourself. Talk about longevity, how much you had paid for your Whirlpool and how much does a Chinese fridge cost today? Of course if you want cheap, you cannot expect the highest quality. It all boils down to cost. Otherwise, why would the iPhone is notoriously well made and reliable and most of them are being Made-In-China. Get your facts right with a fair Apple-to-Apple comparison instead of misleading with impromptu facts here.

EC101 is the fundamental concepts of supply and demand. What better knowledge have you on this topic? Are you a data analyst yourself? Trump is clearly a con artist. In fact, he was once even a TV artist. You just have to check on the quality of most of his cabinet members. Only those who are loyal to him get to serve, not out of political governance experience. I'm sure you are smart enough to know that Elon Musk is not even elected into government but gets to serve for him in DOGE. This is just one typical example of favoritism just because he had spent US$270m to win for Trump. Time will tell if his tariffs implementation will backfire.

TLDR. So you do not own anything solid made in USA. That's explains your low standards & China will be good for you. Cheap, use & throw. EC101 is not just about demand & supply.. don't waste my time. Those who know, know.
When trump put American or America first with protectionism, economists not stock investors would have already worked out all the hypothesis or he himself will already know the effects of tariffs on an economy. I will advise you to watch & learn. It's quite amazing to actually see USA being a first to apply QE where no one had even done before. Hence inflation.
Deflation has to come as all of us are quite obsessed with steady state equilibrium. I think Elon has a tough job to cut govt spending. American will have to cut down spendings (deflation), in the end, cutting down on govt spending(doge) will reduce taxpayers bill & hey I will have more savings. He is doing deflationary measures & working on balance of payments. It's also in EC101. I wish our govt will cut down on their salary & spendings, hence I would want Trump & Elon here.

I don't own USA products no doubt, because I trust more on Japanese products, which make up at least 85% of my home appliances, ranging from PANASONIC, DAIKIN, MITSUBISHI, SHARP, HITACHI, PIONEER, FUJITSU, SONY, etc. I admit that some of these are also Made-In-China, but under strict Japanese QC. Even certain USA brandnames are also Made-In-China nowadays. Otherwise, Trump wouldn't be calling for more on-shore manufacturing. So, don't assume that just because one doesn't use USA products means he uses cheap, use & throw products. You are such a snobbish jerk. It won't take you far for too long. Chinese products are also improving and one should never look down on them. A good example: they will eventually become the dominant player in the EV market. Just watch my words.

Since you want Trump & Elon here, which you can forever dream on as this will never happen in your lifetime, you might as well pack up and emigrate to USA, provided they'll give you an asylum unless you have the funds and qualification, or better still, you can now buy a Trump Gold Card for only US$5m, which I doubt you can afford. Why waste your remaining years here in Singapore? What's holding you back? That's the whole bloody problem with those anti-PAPies here. Only know how to kpkb everyday, but aren't doing anything significant to make their lives more livable. Really useless jerks. You should also know very well that it is another impossible task to have the Oppies to fully rule Singapore, so what else is holding you back? You should thank yourself that you still have a roof over your head in Singapore presently.

It's for deflationary measures in overheated economy.
