Trump is trying to bully China into submission, and China refuses to be bullied. Because China was ready for the fight; America obviously isn’t.

China refused to bend the knee and imposed an additional 84% tariff on US goods.

This is going to kill many US Farmers’ businesses.

China also instructed Chinese banks to halt all US Dollar purchases.

Trump’s trade war with China is now harming US pharmaceutical companies, aircraft manufacturers, car manufacturers, hundreds of thousands of small businesses, and every hardworking American.

• A real-world example: a company has a container of goods on the water at the moment that they were going to sell to a US retailer for around $130,000.
• When it left Shanghai, the duty was around $31,000.
• It’s now around $137,000 (with 104% tariff).

Small businesses around the U.S. are in shock.
Trump-loving billionaires are in shock.

Trump voters are in shock.
Even Fox experts are already admitting that Trump’s tariffs will result in price hikes.

Today, Peter Navarro and Elon Musk are fighting. Bill Ackman and Howard Lutnick are fighting. Dave Portnoy is taking on Clay Travis and Will Cain.

At least a dozen House Republicans are considering signing onto GOP Rep. Don Bacon’s bill to block Trump’s ability to impose tariffs unilaterally, accosting to reports.

Americans keep calling their members of Congress, demanding action to stop this self-inflicted Chernobyl of the American economy.

China sensed a weakness in Trump and with it, in America. Right now, eleven countries have declared they will no longer be using dollars for international transactions. These eleven countries include both Russia, and Ukraine.

Can you even begin to imagine a world in which both Ukraine and Russia, together, decide the dollar is too unstable and they should discard it?

The number one goal of Xi Jinping and the CCP for the last decade or so is to break down the dollar as the world’s default currency, possibly through BRICS. People thought it was a joke, the dollar was too strong and there was no alternative.

And now Ukraine(!) of all countries is joining a Russian proposal to drop the dollar.

Now China could give in, of course… or it could remain defiant. It may choose the last option, since Beijing has by now assessed that the mental faculties of the man in charge of the White House are greatly diminished. Trump very clearly isn’t playing with a full deck of cards, and will continue to act erractically. Markets will continue to respond to this in a negative way. Which is why, after an initial rally following the announcement of tariffs being halted for 90 days, markets soon began to fall again.

China wants to dethrone the United States of America as the number one superpower. It has tried to do so for well over a decade, failing to do so. With China’s own problems (dramatically low birth rate of 1.0 child per woman, housing crisis) it would have taken an act of God for them to win… and that act of God has arrived in the form of Donald J. Trump, the dumbest and most mentally challenged occupant of the White House, ever.
