Donald Trump early Friday morning posted a request to China. The president took to Truth Social before the weekend, writing in all caps, "CHINA SHOULD OPEN UP ITS MARKET TO USA — WOULD BE SO GOOD FOR THEM!!!" EXCLUSIVE: Breastfeeding mom of US citizen sues Kristi Noem after being grabbed by IC...

The pathetic desperation in this cry for help is palpable, and delightful.

There wasn’t a problem until you caused one, Dipshit Donny. Now you’re locked out and clawing at the door.

    They’ve crippled most nonprofits and small corporations. Mission accomplished. They’ll use the windfall from a new free trade agreement to snap up market share and assets. And about 100 years later, rinse and repeat.

      Shit happens every 6 or 7 years like clockwork. Weird, huh?

        yeah, but they fucked up this time. This isn’t a 6 or 7 year fuckery of reclaiming some of the market back from people who sold their 401ks.

        This is a collapse of 80+ years of building our reputation and trade agreements with allies that he’s destroyed.

        Nothing like this has ever happened before. Nothing. Nobody has a playbook for what happens next, but it’s not good.

        Best case scenario our allies forgive us if/when trump is out of office, and we have to spent the next several decades convincing them the US won’t flip flop on trade deals every 4 years. We’ll very slowly claw our way back to the top of the world trade empire.

        But that’s if absolutely everything goes perfectly from here on out.

        Which won’t happen.

        So things will get worse. Much worse.

        But this is unprecedented. We are in for a very, very bad time, his bad decisions just haven’t caught up and had an impact yet. Everyone’s been trading on hype from what he’s been saying/doing and anxiety of what to expect in a few months/years.

        Nobody knows for sure, but come July, we’re going to have a lot of empty shelves, and Q2/Q3/(Q4 especially) profits are going to drop like a rock. The market WILL tumble. And anyone still in it will be left holding the bag for the next few decades until it slowly recovers. Assuming we don’t keep going down this shit path trump and his nazi traitors have us on. Because then it will just keep getting worse and we will not recover. The lows will be the new highs and we will become like Russia.
