How China Outplayed Trump in the Trade War

And he tried to do this with China, and guess what? China told him to go screw off. They called his bluff out in public to the point where a number of officials from China. Openly said that we don't care about Donald Trump levying tariffs. The US is not the center of the economic universe. And if they insist, if the US insists on being adversarial, they can be out by themselves while we shore up our relationships around the [00:01:00] globe.

They called as bluff. And what did we hear from Trump? As soon as they called his bluff, he raised tariffs again to some ridiculous number. China retaliated by raising their own tariffs to similar levels and targeting them at red states.

This was not going the way that Donald Trump thought it was gonna go. And that's instructive because at his core, Donald Trump is what? He's a bully. And what do you need to do with bullies to get them to back down? You need to punch 'em in the face and understand. Trump likes to put out this image that he's some tough guy, but at his core even he knows he's inadequate.

And when you think about what's actually out there in the news, when you look at anybody that he's gotten with. Since then, it's either been through force or through payment, and the ones that he's paid have openly ratted him out as being inadequate upstairs and inadequate downstairs. No matter how you slice it, even Donald Trump knows that he is inadequate, unintelligent, weak, pathetic, and useless. His parents told him as much as he was growing up and he is demonstrating that again on the world stage, and China just called his bluff and by calling his bluff and punching him back, what was he left to do?

He's one cheeseburger away from kicking the bucket, and we need to ramp up the stress that he's feeling as much as possible and the way to do that. Is to work through the Republican members of Congress and make them recognize that they work for us. No matter how scared they are of Donald Trump, they need to be more scared of us.

And the stakes are high because he's just gone on record to say that he is ready and willing and able to ship off citizens to Salvadorian death camps. So there are no higher stakes than this at this point, but with what China did, Donald Trump has been neutralized, and as much as he can tout other deals that he might have, China circumvented those as well.

The argument goes from the Trump camp that China needs us more than we need them. Is that really the case? We are holding food as a weapon against China. China has bypassed us by going to Australia and Brazil and working out agricultural deals there along with other countries all over the world, and that's gonna continue with every single attempt that this regime does to try to force people into their camp.

That's where the US is gonna be because of the Trump regime. President Xi of China just gave us the blueprint for knee capping this regime and understand every person in this regime needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And. Remove from office and spend a long time behind bars.

That means protests at those elected officials offices. That means mobilizing and organizing, and that also means that we do economic strikes and national strikes as part of our repertoire. These are things that need to be ramped up aggressively in order to head off what's coming because we cannot afford to take this lightly.
