I can't help but wonder what it will finally take for Trump to be "retired."

China just needs to do what Trump wants and refuse to export things to the US for a week or two. That should be enough for the people bankrolling Trump to get rid of him.
Doing something like that might unify the silent opposition against Trump, giving them strength in numbers. Letting his allies break one by one means that the first several will be destroyed by Trump before the opposition gains enough momentum to work.
tRump is about to enter the find out phase, I wonder if he will even notice.
If you're going to start a war, you better know for a fact that you can win. Trump thinks he knows, but he doesn't know shit.
The US has a terminal disease: hubris. This is what it's like to live in an empire in decline.

This is exactly what I thought of Russia after their failed invasion of Ukraine. Generally regarded as a super power prior, they put on display how atrophied their millitary had become by not being able to steam roll Ukraine.
yet europeans are still afraid that russia is going to conquer europe somehow.
Well, yeah? When Russia rolled in Ukraine had already been at war for 6 years. Ukraine was as prepared as you can be against a surprise invasion. Most of the EU probably doesn't even entertain the possibility of an invasion. If Russia were to invade the EU not only would the EU not be prepared for it but Russia would also have the advantage in experience.
I'm not saying Russia would conquer the whole of EU but, if they also take Ukraine, I could see them taking the whole eastern Europe.
They can if they divide us beforehand. Russia's greatest arms aren't rifles or shells or nukes, it's information and sowing dissent in other countries. I am 100% sure Hungary wouldn't be in its current state if Russia wasn't involved somehow.
I'm Mostly just worried about nukes and someone on there side will follow through.
Why would Trump care if he wins?
As he has for most of his bankruptcy laden past, he's largely playing with other people's lives. He'll be fine, and he enjoys inflicting cruelty on others for its own sake when he "loses."
The US has the terminal disease of hubris, not Trump. Trump is just insane. But the US elected him as their leader and the electorate as a whole can't plead insanity here.
There are far too many parallels that this shit has with the Weimar Republic. I’m working on contingency plans.
China should respond with a tariffs system that jumps randomly between 34% to 1000% for US goods every hour. Tell Trump it is all run by AI now, and it takes into account Trump saying thank you in mandarin. Say it is just medicine.
it should always be double what trump is dishing out, if he says 50%, china will increase it by 100% on top of whatever tariff was there before.
He’s trying to crash the market. This dude needs to be removed from power. He’s an absolute moron retaliating like a 5 year old child.
I didn't vote for this, i just wanted to hurt gay, trans, black, immigrant, libs and all the other people i was taught to hate but not this, no sir.
I voted for the guy who said he would do all of this, but I didn’t think he’d do the parts that harm me.
He never said this was the only reason Trump needs to be removed from power.
Not happening. Who's gonna remove him?
Probably Russia, or a shadowy cabal of billionaires.
Why russia?
Don't worry, I'm sure Congress will spring into action any moment now. Yup, definitely any moment...I mean, what's the point of even having checks and balances if they won't check or balance?
Their giving me tit folks.
I'm giving them tat, the best tat, beautiful tat and their giving me tit.
It's very bad.
lol this is gonna be hilarious to watch. He thinks he can play geopolitical economic chicken with the PRC…? Like… what…?
I’m dumping the majority of my domestic investments and reallocating to foreign stuff. I hope all the conservatives continue investing in Tesla as it crashes 🤗
This. The PRC will let millions of their own people die before losing this trade war. (they've literally done it before) Does America have the same resolve?
They let millions of their own people die because Mao decided he didn’t like sparrows for a while. They’ve tilted harder at far more pointless windmills.
He is mentally unwell if he thinks this is a viable strategy. China cannot be bullied by the USA.
Bullies like trump don’t understand that.
Until they get punched in the face real hard
I don’t think trump’s flabby face has ever had that adjustment. Well, not since his parents abused him.
cant bully someone thats a bigger bully
More like you can't bully someone bigger than you.
Hang tough China. God Fucking Dman I never thought I would be saying that.
Because of course we now do official government comms via a fascist echo chamber app, perfectly normal state of affairs.
