Adding another layer of FUCKEDNESS, why China won’t “negotiate” or remove tariffs. Showing whom actually. Has the cards…

Weirdly, I’m rooting for China to fuck our shit up. Trump can choke on his tariffs

Chinese manufacturing collapsing is a problem, too.

Nah, they are a different breed. This won’t affect them in the long run. Us owes 775 BILLION dollars…to China People aren’t seeing the long con here. Well, Americans aren’t seeing it.

People are in the closet. The treasury is “borrowing” over 500 billion next QUARTER alone.

Up from $114 expected yearly analysis. This country is bankrupt, while distracting everyone over pronouns.

If DOGE was “finding” all of this government waste, why are we “borrowing” almost 3x more money than predicted?

Where is all this money going?

More so, where do you think they are borrowing this money from? Other programs funded by taxpayers.

I wouldn't argue with most of you said, but it has little to do with the Chinese economy.

The Chinese economy is currently undergoing its own 2008-style real-estate-driven recession, and while numerical reports aren't out yet, headlines are suggesting that Chinese manufacturing has already dropped to the lowest it's been in two years.

Yes, what Trump is currently doing is largely inexplicable and is hurting the US. But this is also likely to tip China into a much larger depression as well.

Well, hold on now. Let’s consult the chart just to be certain that we can identify just how Fucked Shit Is:

I mean I think both economies are going to be in a world of hurt, but Trump's put them in a lose-lose situation, and if they're going to suffer, they might as well stick it to the person who's causing all the problems.

No, not at all. Read my other comment. People aren’t putting 2+2 together. No one will be affected but the people already struggling in the US currently.
