This Is How You Lose the Tariff War

What really happened to cause Trump to retreat partially? Treasury Secretary Bessent, who has proven untrustworthy, said it had nothing to do with the bond market. Trump then went out and spoke to the press and said he acted because the bond market was getting "yippy," once again showing Bessent to be lying. Now I'm hearing that Japan, which owns more U.S. Treasury securities than any other foreign country, followed closely by China, threatened to sell its holdings, which would have been a catastrophe greater than Trump has so far inflicted on the world.

The Dollar is, because of political risk in the U.S., losing its coveted status as the world's reserve currency.

For the preservation of all mankind’s freedom & liberty, we must prosper & the PRC must be destroyed.

Man you've got to get away from that right wing media. It's full of bullshit designed to keep you scared and voting Republican.

We have nothing to fear from China. We cannot let ourselves be scared into doing something stupid to create a situation where people die. Nation building died with WWII. We have a United Nations now to move forward towards global unity. Unity is the only way we survive out here on this rock.

Last year I got close to the max contribution limit but not quite. I’m raising my contribution by 1% of my salary every year now when I get my annual raise. I need to talk to a financial advisor to see if the math makes sense to convert my traditional 401k to Roth. It’s on my to do list this year. I’m in my early 40s and making steps to be retirement ready by 55 1/2, and for sure get out of the rat race before I turn 60.

Turns out if I had the option to put my 401k shit into Bitcoin for the past decade or so, I'd be retired already.

Yes. But Back probably thinks he has a checking account with a balance of $102 billion.

But since Back agrees with him politically, that makes things d-d-d-d-different in regards to "bIlLiOnAiReS"

Yet you shriek constantly blaming all the 2020 economy bullshit on Trump and ignore the fact that before Covid, Trump's economy was booming massively.

See ClydeR? Being a liar never works out because eventually you're going to contradict and expose yourself like you just did.

Retard.

So just like everyone with a functional brain has been saying, tariffs are a tool to get them to the negotiation table, and this brought them to the table very quickly.

Imagine being so stupid, like you are, that you still can't understand this.

You ignorant fuck. How do you think Japan and Germany recovered from WWII? How do you think Korea recovered from the Korean War? Read a fucking history book or AT LEAST just shut the fuck up about things you don't understand. You know how I know you are a faggot who's never left the US? Dumb fucking statements like this.
