If I did that, I would have very few posts left.
Mmm, I posted right before Will posted #400 the "cleaned up the thread"
"and please stay on topic".
Didn't know if I got off track- or if that was just a general comment, for the entire thread ,
so I have been " trying" to be a good boy

Oh shit! Art of the deal indeed.
I'm going to go ahead and assume the thumbnail is accurate thereby sparing me the effort of watching the video.
I guess we're going to have to deal with a post China world now.

partialy spam...the video is commenting on the CCP preparing to go martial law incase their is unrest. but still not good, sooner or later it will tip china over as the people got a small taste of freedom.

It's a misleading title. This is a problem with all of youtube, news sites, basically everything on the internet.
However hte video still contains relevant information and the tariffs are having an effect. It goes into detail about china's information brainwashing methods to counteract it as well.

I doubt he would be on a South Asian tour if he was worried about unrest at home.
While I agree with a lot of what Trump is trying to do on trade, his broad blunt approach has basically galvanized the people in most of these countries against the USA.

definitely agree tariffs are really hammering them and something I did not know was that the CCP wage disparity is currently worse than the US's wage disparity.

You've been around, I'm sure you've seen it. America's poor is the rest of the world's middle class. America's poor don't know what it is to be poor, and other poors are just happy to be alive.
The real threat against the CPP is they almost had a middle class, who is going to be plunged back into poverty, which they can remember just a decade or so ago.
They hope their spread of revolutionary propaganda in tick tock is going to be enough, but something like that is going to take months to even begin to take root, where i'm amazed china has lasted this long.
Yall got any of those details about how this is helping America, yet?
Last night my uncle told me, on Facebook, that this was all about forcing China to disband their military. He deleted that this morning and didn't answer any of the questions I asked him. Don't know why....

I don't have the time or crayons to explain it to you if you don't already see the writing on the wall.

Hey Us Marines like Crayons they are very tasty.. especially the yellow and red ones...
Are you referring to the ongoing dispute at the WTO ? this is a process that has yet to conclude & if the WTO finds that any party, including the USA is in violation of rules then penalties & sanctions could be applied. Was the case resolved ? It seems that the USA imposed unilateral sanctions with the 25% tariff. Yiu cant have it both ways, you either act within the WTO or outside of it, so accepting the end of a rules based international trade & therefore a free for all.
As for intellectual property rights, it seems that The Donald has been playing fast and loose himself, as has the US tech industry with its harvesting of original work for so called AI.
Tariffs are a legitimate tool in international trade and other so called barriers, such as non compliance with emission standards, are imposed by the USA & all countries. The way Trump has gone about this is almost guaranteed to end badly, declaring a trading partner, China, an enemy and trying to blackmail & bully others. The sweeping, across the board tariffs display a remarkable ignorance or complete indifference to reality. Countries with unique agricultural commodities, Vanilla, Coffee or Coca beans are too poor to import US products, so there is a trade deficit, if I needed to spell this out.
I think it's a factually correct & mostly unbiased source, I've seen them cited in plenty of reliable media, but unfortunately the article is paywalled, at least from my IP address.
Proof ?
HAHAHAHAH very funny.Can you answer the question, or is it you that needs the crayons?

Putting it simply, everything you typed about the WTO is a crock of feces... they have been implicit in the ongoing for the last 30 to 40 years of trade wars in an attempt to wear the US down.
no trump is not going after place like columbia that does beans... he is goind after places like columbia that sells drugs... the fact that they are one and the same is something the local populace needs to deal with...
China has been screwing over all countries since they entry into the WTO. it is well past time that somebody, anybody stomps on their pecker and slaps them in their face.... your government does not have the wherewithal or the balls.. the US is barely at the stage of still having the wherewithal and none of its politicians on either side of the aisle have had the balls for the last 35 years.... you are just pissed for whatever reason... probably from embarrassment at your adopted country and your original countries inability to rein them in.
ever read the original buck rogers in the 21st century? while a dated Sci FI story... it was not wrong.., it was the Huns...
Proof ? Poor ole USA always the victim despite being the world's
only military superpower & producing 25% of global GDP. Must be the Democrats fault, right ?
So why isn't this mentioned in the Whitehouse press release in tariffs ? BTW the war on drugs is a complete failure, the price of Charlie has fallen, inflation adjusted, sine the 1990s .A 10% tax on coffee isn't going to change this. Madagascar a 47% tariff, maybe they're a secret cocaine producing country ?
Can you translate this into facts or data ? BTW im a humble worker, I don't own a government. This is why this policy is doing damage to the USA because you & King Donald see this as a pissing contest & that bullying is the best tactic, despite always playing the victim.

I was referring to this being more than only tariffs.
"Tariffs are a legitimate tool in international trade and other so-called barriers,"
We agree on this.
Fortunately, (not because it was Trump but the fact, we had a vote) the US voted for Trump to make changes, and he communicated his plan from the being. Even people who hate Trump knew something like this would happen and he still won.
My answer would be no different if it was Kamala in office right now. Her way may (would) have been different or no change at all.
But I would not assume an outcome before it is over, as you said this is a process that has yet to conclude.
The sweeping, across the board tariffs display a remarkable ignorance or complete indifference to reality. Countries with unique agricultural commodities, Vanilla, Coffee or Coca beans are too poor to import US products, so there is a trade deficit, if I needed to spell this out.
This is not about just a trade deficit as you already agree that tariffs are a tool. This was a call to action and brought everybody online to the situation at the same time in the same way with a simplistic formula that was easy for all to understand and apply it was not meant as a final resolution it was to bring everyone to the action at once and alienate China and anyone willing to align with them.
As far as "The Donald" I am more a Fender/Taylor guy myself and you think the George Forman grill was anything other than a Panini press with a name on it?
Allegedly made in China. You have to admire his balls for mounting such a brazen grift.
In that, it's not likely to succeed because of the threats & intimidation. Any idea of holding China to account over human rights, let alone IP, went out of the window post 9/11. The EU doesn't care about human rights, nor does the USA or any of the gaint corporations that manufacture there.
