  1. Can he just stop? No one is afraid of a demented old pedophile who walks back everything he says. Dude had a particularly bad case of sundowning yesterday.

  2. There’s nothing more dangerous than uncertainty and MAGA is only certain to bring uncertainty.

    Let’s risk it with “bad” but reliable China…

  3. >Child throws tantrum when consequences of his own actions arrive.

    Maybe if the president hadn’t spent the entire last year verbally and economically attacking his allies and sowing chaos worldwide, the rest of the world would still see US as a respectable trading partner. Instead every tantrum the Toddler and Chief throws drives more and more countries into the arms of China, since they are the world’s second most powerful superpower, and the world’s largest manufacturer and exporter of goods. Trump is the best thing to have happened to China since Clinton’s NAFTA deal.

  4. What he gonna do? raise tariffs with 50%, and pretending that dealing with something THAT volatile isn’t dangerous?

    If Trump is saying it’s bad, it must be great!

    Much prefer to deal with the Chinese over the DSA.

  6. Isn’t Trump going to China in a couple of weeks to do trade deals? What a hypocrite idiot.

    At least he won’t have to move when he is retired.

  7. Wait for the new tariff threat. You know it’s coming coz crazy orange man thinks he rules the world.

    It’s funny. Biden worked with our western allies to isolate China. We coordinated on stopping Chinas chips and EVs from flooding our market. Capital expenditure in China was going down and they were suffering a recession.

    But Trump alienates and threatens our allies. He’s unstable and as a result they’ve all reopened relationships with China. They can take their markets being flooded with cheap goods if it means having a stable trading partner.

    Trump is only strengthening China.

  9. It’s funny, the more other countries are making deals among themselves, the bigger and more frequent his tantrums are becoming.

  10. all Trump had to do was not be a dick…

    but I mean the man has bankrupted a Casino, sooooo…..

  11. His idiot administration has forced the entire world into making deals with China. Truly the art of the deal.

  12. Trump thought he could bully the World and they’d immediately cower because Trump and his base have been under the illusion that America is, and forever will be dominant on the World stage, not because of soft power, influence, spreading democracy, etc., but because of threats.

  13. He shits and pisses on trade deals, like there’s no tomorrow and then seems surprised when countries look elsewhere. He said the exact same thing about Canada. Fuck Trump and every piece of shit who enables or supports him and the GOP.

  14. Of course it’s dangerous. That is why all US presidents before Trump developed alliances while Trump says he doesn’t understand the concept. Now, he sees the consequences for the US of pushing Canada, Mexico, UK, EU and all other allies towards China. Now, he’s upset at the results, but he’s not changing his policies.

    “Dealing” with the US has been very bad for the UK long term. A ridiculous number of businesses get bought out by American venture capital vultures who then asset-strip it and move on to the next victim. Probably better off working with China at this point. With friends like these…

  16. He forgot halfway through his answer that the question was even about the UK, and switched to talking about hockey and Canada. The dude’s brain is mush.

  17. Neither Europe or Asia is your hemisphere. So kindly go back to caring only about yourself, as you keep saying all the time.

    Yeah, he said the same thing about Canada’s trade deals with China. His latest warning is that China will ban hockey in Canada. WTF?!

    Typical toddler response when you realize you’re losing the game.

  19. So China is not allowed to do business anywhere in the world?

    Clearly MAGA is declaring war in China.

    Or as Bannon says “let’s take down the CCP”

    #If a little girl was born the exact same day Trump assumed his first term, he’d be raping her by now.

    Trump talks utter shite 99% of the time. It needs to stop being reported as some sort of well thought out policy. He’s a moron who is rapidly declining.

  22. I wish with every fiber of my being that one whole day could go by without this fat orange bloviating autocrat saying something stupid.

  23. Says the guy who literally forced all of it’s allies to deal with China… Dumb ass president voted in by dumb ass people, while 1/3 did nothing to stop it and only 1/3 fought against. Thanks to those who voted against. You’re the last sane Americans.
