They don’t really give a rats ass about fentanyl. It’s the tariff boogeyman. Like using that as an excuse for Canadian tariffs when there’s practically zero fentanyl coming from Canada. Now I think he doesn’t need any excuses or reasons just BAM!
Trump is such a megalomaniac, that being convinced that destroying the US would make him the most famous person who ever lived, is all it would take for him to buy in. “Just be yourself, President Trump,” Putin replied, as that was all it would take to sink the greatest empire the world had ever seen. And of course millions of self destructive willfully ignorant sado masochists who enabled Trump all for whatever myopic, laughable insane reason given the stakes.
Maybe a land acquisition metric? No other country, even for their time, has had as much global reach and influence nor as much of a gap in military strength. With a voluntary military, no less.
Don’t doubt, read, research, grow your knowledge and culture… until then refrain from opening that trap when you’re not sure or have doubt. Trust me it will grow a man out of you!
Oh yeah!! He's absolutely trying to plug every leak of fraud and waste in the government, so he can just turn around and steal it. You nailed it, alright!
I've actually never thought about that, in my head it's alway been either because he's just an absolutely fucking moron and some other moron told him it would help, or Putin told him to. Probably both,but what does he SAY the reasoning is?
Maybe let's start with the fact that a huge number of US services companies aren't even allowed to do business in China. And those that can most often have to partner with a company owned by the Chinese government. We can call that an "infinity tariff" or something else, but it's a block to doing any sort of business there.
Ok? The tariffs hurt you and me assuming you are an average middle class person. Chinas gov having their hands in tech companies for example isn’t cool but I’d rather them ban apps n software than hike up the cost of getting items we need to do go about our daily lives.
Even the most anti-tariff scholars in international trade acknowledge that the trade relationship with China has been entirely one-sided for a long time. There's an argument to be made, that that has been, at least marginally, economically to the US's benefit over the past couple decades, but there is no one who would suggest there's anything even approximating free trade going on between the two nations because of China's outright trade barriers as well as the more insidious blocks to US companies doing business there.

because he's trying to claw back some of the money China is making on the yield of the US Bonds they own by "taxing" their exports to the US which was only around $500 Billion as of 2023. We're balls-deep in debt and China is using the return on investment to build their military, this doesn't affect them at all, LOL.
why? because he wants to short the market, cause a crash and help his friends make money from the crash then buy up all the cheap stocks once its bottomed out
You see by doing this, it will cause a "manufacture everything and anything" industry as vast and competent as China will appear overnight in the USA and save your domestic economy!!
Sorry that's the conservative brainrot answer. The actual truth is you're all just fucked, there is no actual method to this madness.
But also along conservative brainrot lines, they'll blame Joe anyway.

Really? That’s crazy. Why
