When Trump comments it will be preceded with, “No other president in history….”
Yeah I get that. But you carve out chips, computers, and smart phones and you’re fighting over toasters and cheap t-shirts.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad he’s full of shit. I just can’t get over the whole insult everyone tough guy act when it’s the fucking Chinese. You aren’t outlasting them. They’ll stay resolute for a decade just to not back down. You can’t go to war with a culture that will find this a cause for national sacrifice when you’re a county and culture where people will lose their minds the minute things go up a dollar. How badly mismanaged and how half assed this all was is mind blowing. Let insult the world and make a lot of enemies for nothing
