Just a word to the stupid.
China doesn't need the US. We need China imports.

Trump is having very bad, terrible day. Couldn't be more deserved.

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Isn't there a single MAGA republican who has the balls to tell Trump that his math just don't math.

This is GREAT news.
All Natl Guard return to regular national guard duties.

Trumps tantrums started this morning without this final ruling today, but do we think this will stop this tyrant from finding another way to attack? I'd be happily surprised, but won't celebrate until he's in jail.

Here's a real zinger for all of us.
Melania has been communicating with Putin (calls, texts, emails) re returning Ukrainian children.
She says it's going very well.
Already 8 children have been returned.
8 children of 20,000 kidnapped! In 7 years all children will be returned to parents!

It shows us what a vengeful child Trump is.
And he's on a childlike temper tantrum today bc he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.
His new tariff incr against China (tanking the stock market) and upping fed firings are just the beginning of his way of punishing us for his failures.
Stay tuned.

Trump, like a child thinks if he's a good boy, everything he wants/wishes for will be awarded to him.
Life just doesn't work that way.
If military boarding school wasn't able to teach him how to behave, then he's just broken.
We have to defeat/destroy him, before he can destroy us.

Trump's throwing a temper tantrum today, just like a 5 year old.
He didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize so:
1. He's increasing tariffs on China - so that tanked the market.
2. He's started firing more fed workers bc his shut down is going on for too long.
3. Is he gonna bomb another boat in Caribbean

This is so horrific, heart breaking for that family.

Remember though that (Kristi Noem) shot her own dog in the face, so ICE agent probably thought that shooting this dog would win him some special attention or medal for his courage.

The horrors, hatefulness of Trump admin just never stops.

Trump does it again.

On a Friday that opened quietly on Wall Street, Trump opens his big mouth to threaten massive tariff increases on China. And so the market sells off.

The demented dumbass is pissed bc he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. You don't get to fuck around w/ tariffs dumbass.

Whether or not the number is true is irrelevant.

What's the percentage increase of ICE assaults on innocent victims? What's the percentage on ICE kidnappings, tear gas and other chemical assaults, torture?

What do they consider an assault? How about shooting a priest in the face with tear gas ?

NPR @npr.org · 20h

ICE claims assaults on its officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

Mamdani: "Trump ran on 3 promises - punishment of his political enemies, easing cost of living crisis, & mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. And yet he's unable & unwilling to deliver bc he's beholden to the very billionaires that are profiting off of it"
