And yet you're not aware that the tariffs will not only apply to China and it was never suggested that they only apply to China.
Yeah no, that's fucking idiotic. I'm only talking about china. as per my first comment
China does not exist in isolation and cheering on a terrible economic plan because you see the potential of one good thing coming out of it is a bit silly. Especially when China still has the rest of the world to trade with.
Okay, then lets lift the restrictions and see what happens after they invade taiwan. While we're at it, why not lift everything that the US has put on Russia and see how they skullfuck ukraine.
Again. I'm only advocating for tarrifs against china. I could not give less of a shit about trump's grand plan. China literally considers themselves in a trade war against the US. Why are you so against not trading with a country that literally considers you an enemy?
You don't seem to get it. This is like saying "I advocate for cutting off the pinky toe but ignoring the rest of the foot" while the doctor is standing there with a saw, ready to push you out of the way.
I seem to have addressed this by calling it fucking idiotic already. If trump tarrifs everything, china included or not, USA's fucked. I thought this is very clear.
tarrifing a country who considers itself in a trade war is honestly a no brainer wtfs. Every western country should do it
I know what you said. And I'm trying to tell you you're commending Mussolini for making the trains run on time.
