RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Politics and Current Events Today Trump plunged the economy over the cliff

It’s Biden’s fault!

.


And just as quickly, the crisis passes, 70 countries negotiate and align with Trump, and the stock market within an hour recovers.
And has one of its highest gains in one day in the stock exchange's history.

Why bother with Newsmax? I see they were just in the news today, lol. I can just get the lies and spin from the criminal felon’s mouth? I don’t take his word for anything. And the market isn’t recovered. After this I think I see other countries never trusting us again and what we had taken for granted is now lost. Wish I was wrong about this.

At the end of World War II, the U.S. set up trade deals in the favor of European nations, Japan, and other countries, that allowed them to re-build their economies after the destruction of World War II.
Buteven afer their economies had fully recovered within 10 years after the end of World War II, at that point those trade deals should have been re-negotiated in a more balanced way with the U.S.

Trump did not deceive or break faith with any of these countries, he just demanded re-negoiated truly equal and fair trade with these countries, and has used the leverage he has to negotiate a better deal wih these countries, that protects U.S. national security, U.S. industry, and jobs for U.S. workers, as our nation's tariffs and trade policies protected U.S. workers up till 1945.


I fail to see what Trump is doing that would back your lying Democrat talking point that other countries should "never trust us again".



Beyond the existing countries' disproportionate trade agreements in their favor till now, they (particularly China) have also manipulated their currencies and set up other unfair practices to prevent TRULY two-way free and fair trade.
To the point that in Germany, in Japan, in South Korea, in China, there are virtually ZERO American cars imported into those countries, while these nations all import massive amounts of cars into the U.S..
And because we till now have not given them the same tariffs they put on us, they are able to sell cars in the U.S. at virtually the same prices as U.S. manufacturers here.
While overseas, foreign tariffs cause U.S. cars to be prohibitively expensive to foreign consumers, and therefore foreign sales of U.S. cars are virtually non-existent.

You propagandize Trump as somehow a criminal who is destroying the U.S., when in fact he is doing what even Democra leaders like Pelosi and Schumer said for decades in their televised speeches, making THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS AS TRUMP 10, 20, 30 years ago !

Now these same Democrat leaders hypocritically condemn Trump for doing EXACTLY what THEY THEMSELVES advocated.
Because Trump is doing what they never could.
In truth, while they said it, they never truly had the will or even the desire to fight unfair trade and export of jobs to China. DEMOCRATS just used that rhetoric to lie to American voters, to tell voters what they wanted to hear, to get themselves re-elected through deception.
But Trump really means it, and is doing it. And doing it effectively.

Since we began discussing the issues on these boards in 2001 or so, we've seen the U.S. national debt go from $2 trillion to 5 trillion, to 10 trillion, to 20 trillion, to an incredible 36 trillion now, and rapidly climbing.
The debt particularly under the last 2 Democrat presidents (Obama, and Biden) have risen so high, that just the annual payments on that debt threatens to exceed U.S. national defense budget, threatens the ability of the U.S. to even continue paying for national defense, threatens also to bankrupt Social Security and the ability to fund all other federal entitlements, if we stay on this course.
That just paying the already accumulated debt alone will threaten the ability to pay all these other entitlement spending programs in the near future.
And Trump is the only one, in either party, with the guts and determination to address it.

And the Democrat-Left, and you, demonize him for it ().

It's laughable, how anything Trump does, Democrats in knee-jerk fashion, go hysterical and oppose with the most extreme rhetoric ANYTHING Trump does as president.
Even when Trump does exactly what Democrat leaders themselves have advocated, for YEARS. Decades !

We have been on a path toward enslavement by China for decades, and China has been undermining the U.S. for decades very deliberately in every possible way:

1) Fentanyl funded and set up by China, manufactured in Mexico, killing over 100,000 Americans annually now, more than in any past U.S. war
2) Purchasing U.S. farmland and food production, so that China could conceivably starve U.S. citizens by controlling our food supply.
3) The aforementioned Chinese hollowing out of U.S. manufacturing, industry and jobs.
4) China cyber-attacks on every large and mid-sized company, on every U.S. federal agency including every U.S. military branch, cyber-aacks on our waer and power plans, on ou nuclear reactors, constantly testing their ability to destroy us, either in this way alone, or as part of a larger war.
5) China's cyber-theft from American companies estimated at about $600 billion a year, every year, for decades. And on every other industrialized nation worldwide.
China's further annual trade deficit with the U.S., averaging another 500-plus billion a year.
6) The Covid-19 pandemic, ha came from Wuhan, China. And enabled to spread worldwide by a Chinese-controlled WHO. And other known global outbreaks and biological warfare programs the Chinese have, that we've seen unleashed multiple times over the last 20 years.
7) The Confucius Institute indoctrination, with chapters at U.S. high schools and universities nationwide.
8) The Chinese funding and fomenting of Democrat and other far-Left groups in the United States, such as Antifa, BLM, and the open borders movement, to further damage the U.S. and divide the nation from within. With spies working for Eric Swallwell, Dianne Feinstein, Joe Biden, and Debbie Wasserman Bitch-Cunt Schultz, THAT WE KNOW OF.
And no doubt many others we don't.


So...

It is vital that we de-couple the U.S. from China economically and otherwise, and stop funding our worst enemy. That is exactly what Trump is doing.
That is what Trump was ELECTED to do, by an overwhelming majority.
Even in the districts where Trump did not win in the 2024 election, his support still grew (over 2020) to a larger percentage in every district in the U.S., even in the Democrat-won districts.

There is no certainty that there will be any economic hardship on U.S. citizens during the period of Trump's tariff/trade-war negotiations.
So far, Trump has exhibited absolute control of these negotiations and been victorious despite all the wild Democrat / RINO predictions otherwise ( ).

But even if there is a period of economic hardship and higher prices, it has to be done, and the alternative of allowing the U.S. to be further controlled and indebted to China and globalist forces has to be prevented and reversed away from. Trump is re-building our sovereignty, and rebuilding our industry and high-paying job base.
The alternative is collapse of the U.S. dollar, and enslavement of the U.S. to China and other globalist creditors. That is the inevitable path we were on before Trump ran for president. And Trump alone has exhibited the iron resolve to eliminate that threat, and put us on a better path, to truly restore the American Dream.

While Trump is wreaking havoc on the markets, the gop is pushing through a bill that will add trillions to the deficit with tax cuts for the wealthy while making massive cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. The middle and lower class are going to get hit with higher prices while the richer find it easier to accumulate even more wealth.

If we still have fair elections, people are going to vote this shit out in less than 2 years.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/com...electronics-temporary/story?id=120752319

The orange felon is just making this shit up as he goes along.

First there are tariffs for all, then there's a 90 day pause, electronics will get exemptions, but only temporarily, then's there this bullshit:

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-says-millions-illegal-immigrants-could-return-farms-hotels-2058413

But I thought illegal immigrants were bad and stuff, ya know?

Complete clown show.

Trump is turning the world against us. We are no longer a safe and stable country to do business with.

Hyperbolic B.S.

Under JFK, under Reagan, under W. Bush, the loss of tax revenue under hese previous taax cuts, has actually resulted in creation of vastly more businesses, more factories, and each creating thousands more facories, millions more jobs, that all create tens of billions more in taxable revenue, and therefore MORE revenue for the federal government, not less.

Again, total B.S.

Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, ISIS, Al Qaida, did not respect us more under Joe Biden or Barack Obama. Quite the contrary, these hostile foreign powers were emboldened and went wild.
These nations and terror groups clearly escalated their attacks on us and the world, because of an absence of U.S. military and diplomatic resolve under Obama and Biden.
As compared with the 4 years of peace under Trump's first term, where they did not dare to launch any new aggression, on the U.S. or elsewhere in the world.
And we are seeing a similar pullback in Trump's second term. They were calling him a day after his victory on November 5h 2024, immediately offered to pursue ceasefires and peace talks they had no interest in before Trump's re-election.
Russia, China, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas.
Because they knewwith Trump back in charge, it was quickly going to get a lot worse for them if they didn't negotiate with Trump.

Under Barack Obama: The rise of ISIS across Syria and Iraq.
Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, the Houthis, Fatah, all escalated their attacks on Israel.
An outgoing Obama told Trump in Jan 2017 that North Korea was the greatest global threat at the time.

Under Donald Trump, 2017-2021 :
Trump made unprecedented peace with Kim Jong Un. Trump scaled back their aggression to zero during his first 4 years.
Trump conquered ISIS, faster than anyone said was possible. And put sanctions on Iran, Russia and China to starve them of their revenue to further start wars or fund terrorism.
All while using the least military use of any president since Word War II.
Trump ended existing wars in Iraq/Syria, and negotiated to withdraw from Afghanistan. Four years of no new wars, the first president to do so since Ronald Reagan. Peace through strength.

Under Joe Biden (or whoever was really in charge) :
Trump's organized Afghan withdrawal plan was screwed up by Biden, by Biden not enforcing the conditions of phased withdrawal, just withdrew in a sudden disorganized way, turning it into the worst U.S. military disaster since at least the Saigon withdrawal in April 1975. And arguably the worst U.S. military failure ever, as Biden left behind $85 billion in military equipment for the Taliban, the most high-tech of which was sold to the Russians and the Chinese to study and reverse-engineer, thus overnight losing the U.S. military its decades of technological battlefield superiority. FACT.
Biden lifted sanctions, giving Russia over $100 billion in oil revenue, to fully fund an all-out assault on Ukraine.
Biden also failed to enforce sanctions on Iran, and allowed them to again militarily build up Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Fatah and the Houthis, that culminated in Hamas' Oct 7th 2023 attack on Israel. That widened across Israel's other borders.
China flew a balloon over the entire U.S., that Biden never shot down, until AFTER it had photographed every U.S. nuclear military base, as it crossed the entire U.S., and Biden allowed it, never shot it down until after it completed its mission.
China Joe.
And this further emboldened China to run dozens of air flights over Taiwan air space every day, in preparation for a near-future Taiwan invasion.

So... now Trump is shutting down all the things that almost 40 years of past presidents have put in place.
Instead, Trump is incentivizing return of jobs and factories to the United States, and rebuilding the U.S. military, re-establishing border security, and U.S. national security, as well as rebuilding the U.S. industrial base, energy independence, and national sovereignty.

Do you think, M E M, that ANY of this would be occurring if the Democrats or some RINO republican like Romney, Bush, or Nikki Haley were running the country?!?
HELL. NO.

Without Trump in office now, we would be heading for a collapse of the dollar, an endless war (if not global NUCLEAR war) in and over Ukraine, no end in sight to the war in and around Israel, Muslims emboldened by Biden's cuing off military aid o Israel, and threatening to cut off even more if Israel did what it needed to, to defended itself. Iran would be guaranteed nuclear weapons, and China would be headed for an invasion of Taiwan in 2027 or 2028.
And over the long term in the next 10 to 20 years, China would eventually own the United States.

Under Biden and the Democrats, China's Fentanyl war killing over 100,000 Americans a year would go on, unresisted.
Chinese further surveillance balloons, would fly over us unresisted.
China's takeover of Panama, the Bahamas and Greenland, would go unresisted.
China's unfair trade practices would go on unresisted, manipulating their Chinese Yuan currency to lower cost of their goods, to push out competing businesses and nations.

Under Biden and the Democrats, China stealing technology and trade secrets from U.S. businesses, then manufacturing the exact same products they stole from U.S. companies, manufactured to steal the U.S. companies' market and business, would conttinue to go unresisted.
China's cyber-warfare theft of U.S. businesses estimated at $600 billion a year would go on unresisted. (And similar massive theft from every other industrialized nation.)

China's trade deficit with the U.S., approaching a further $1 trillion a year, would go on unresisted without Trump.
China's further espionage and agents in Democrat House and Senate offices (Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Dianne Feinstein, Eric Swallwell, THAT WE KNOW OF)
And, very much suspected, Chinese sellout and control of the Biden White House as well, would go on unresisted.

Until China owns us, and there is no way we could at a later date even fight back.

Trump is the right president at the right time.

And if there is some short-term market instability, so be it. It has to be done.
There was also 2 months of stock market instability after the Nov 2000 Bush vs Gore election, because Gore prolonged it.

But eventually, the market stabilizes each time here's a disruption, and regains any short-term losses. For maybe the first time ever, a short-term disruption is now happening to build the long-term strength and stability of the country.

You're just part of the Democrats' propaganda fear-porn machine, pretending this is anything but a short-term market correction, with nation-saving advantages to it being done..
All other countries have capitulated at this point to Trump's demands, and China will be the last to capitulate.

And China will HAVE to capitulate at some point, because they are far more dependent on selling their goods in the U.S., than we are on buying them.
There is less belief at his stage on Wall Street that it will even cause a minor recession (down to a projected 15% possibility now) and declining.
But whatever the amount of time till Trump completes his push for truly fair and equal reciprocal trade between the U.S. and all its trading partners (after decades of multiple presidents letting them fleece us), it will pass.
And the consensus is it will happen in a shorter time than anyone previously believed.

We’ve done trickle down economics as a nation for most of my life. It’s left us with a weaker middle class as more wealth is in fewer hands. To the point now we have someone like Musk buying power and influence right at the top. And the deficit keeps blowing up. At this point it’s obvious that republicans are trying to do massive cuts in Medicare and Medicaid. Even social security looks like it’s going to take a hit. All done while trying to get even more tax cuts for the wealthy. Trickle down economics have left us weaker and in even more debt. We are now a fading super power with Trump letting the world know we can’t be trusted any longer to lead.

.

You know who pioneered "trickle down economics", first lowering taxes on businesses to stimulate re-investment of capital to create billions more in new factories, new jobs, and thus creating more revenue to be federally taxed, that significantly grew the economy?
Democrat president John F. Kennedy.

Ronald Reagan, implemented similar policies to stimulate growth in 1981. Reagan first coined the term "trickle-down economics". But it was JFK who first implemented such economic policy, before the Democrat party later went full-on socialist/Bolshevik.
When a Republican president did it, Democrats HAD TO re-brand that economic strategy as evil.

Just like countless other policies that the Democrats previously advocated, that when Trump or some other Republican president pursued that same policy, Democrats suddenly did a 180 and began suddenly propagandizing that proven sane and logical policy, as evil.
A really fun one to watch is video of Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden in speeches over the last 40 years, and really until just very recently, talking about the need to secure the Southern border, and to deport illegal immigrants,, and the need to fully vet immigrants before admitting them, to be safe and not criminals or terrorists or carriers of disease.
Policy that just a few years later, the Democrats now demonize as "racist" or "draconian" or "xenophobic", or "white supremacist".

I fully expect the Trump campaign to run ads saying: "Chuck Schumer 2025, let me introduce you to Chuck Schumer 2015...."

The difference is, DEMOCRATS said these things as only lip service, lying to voters, telling voters what they wanted to hear, just to get re-elected, with no intention of actually enforcing border security. In the case of Obama, just enough deportations to front he was serious about enforcement, but still short of what needed to be done to truly secure the border.
Whereas Trump actually did it, truly securing the Southern border (in both 2017, and now again in less than a month, in 2025.)

As Tom Homan just said in a White House briefing on Trump's 99th day as president, he has been part of border security for over 40 years, and that Trump is the first president of either party to TRULY do what is necessary to fully secure the border and stop illegal immigration.
He cited (among other numbers) that in March 2024 under Biden, Border Guard recorded 144,000 illegal crossings admitted into the U.S. for that month.
And in March 2025 under Trump, from Jan 20th to today, that number went down to 9 admitted.
NINE !
And these were only admitted for humanitarian reasons, because their health was so poor. He stated that he fully expects those numbers to go even further down, to zero.
In only Trump's 9th week as the inaugurated president.

______________________________________-

EDIT: I corrected a typo I had, accidentally writing the Democrat minority leader's name as Cuck Schumer, instead of Chuck Schumer.
I was tempted to leave it that way, either spelling works.

And when did the deficit really start to blow up? Reagan. The huge tax cuts are not paying for themselves and I’ve read that the gop controlled congress is just playing games to ignore the costs of yet another huge tax cut that mostly benefits the wealthy. And of course that will almost surely come with severe cuts to medical programs that not just the poor are using.

The border has always been a bipartisan issue until Trump. Obama deported huge numbers when he was in office. The difference is I think before Trump we had a higher bar for the top office. Trump delivers for his core that see empathy as a weakness and get little tiny hardons as people get disappeared with little to no due process.

And now pollsters are evil as Trump’s first 100 days are showing him rated lower than every previous modern president. He’s always been a fraudster and his business style has always relied on being able to declare bankruptcy. I hope when the shit stain is thrown out of office there are some true consequences for him and his enablers. We use to lead the world. Not anymore.

"hardons, dissappeared..." - Totally baseless and unserious propaganda narrative, no basis in fact.
"Disappeared" seems to be the Democrat propaganda word of choice for the week.
Last week it was "chaos" as the one-word narrative.
No one cares or buys it, the Democrat-Bolsheviks still remain swirling around 21% polled approval. Your propaganda campaign isn't working.


In 1981-1982, Reagan had offsetting budget cuts proposed that would have made it zero deficit in that year's budget, but the Democrat House majority under Tip O'Neil refused to honor those offsetting cuts.
Hence the rise in deficit.
We had the best economy of my lifetime, re-built our military again to the best in the world, re-built our nuclear arsenal to negotiate peace through strength with the Russians, and saw the end of the Cold War and collapse of the Soviet Union.


Under Reagan, the debt reached aabou 1 trillion.
Under successor G H W Bush, (with he Persian Gulf war) it went from 1 to 2 trillion. And that was WITH a tax increase to offset it. Making clear it isn't lack of taxes tha causes the rise, it is pointless uncontrolled spending. The tax increase is what cost Bush a possible second term.

The Republicans didn't have a majority in both the House and Senate to resolve deficit spending, until after the Nov 1994 election and the Gingrich-led Republican revolution, and "Contract With America" where they passed a balanced Budget Amendment and other reforms, that President Bill Clinton partly vetoed, and the Democrats as a whole did their best to undermine.

And I'm on the record of being critical of George W. Bush for allowing the debt to rise from 2 trillion to 5 trillion from 2001-2008. The balanced budget was already diminishing in 2001, and the 9-11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a "Homeland Security" buildup at home, gave both parties the cover they wanted to abandon a balanced budget. And costing even more was "bipartisan" social spending, hat was the majority of the new debt, not the wars.

And I'm even more critical of Obama for letting it rise from 5 trillion to 10 trillion from 2009-2016.

The main reason deficits went up under Trump's 2017-2020 term is due to the Covid pandemic. But even before that, I said that Trump's not fully facing the debt problem was the one disappointment for me of his first term. But, y'know, he did have the FBI, DOJ, CIA, FISA court, "Crossfire Hurricane" and several other investigations aimed at him and consuming his attention, and even so, he did accomplish a great deal in that first 4 years. The 4 years off allowed Trump to plan an even more effective 2nd term.

And then under Biden it has now reached a skyrocketing $ 36 trillion.

I blame the Democrats for being America-hating Marxist-Bolsheviks who want to rip up the Constitution and build a repressive authoritarian Democrat-Bolshevik one-party socialist state in its place.
I blame the Republicans for sitting on their hands, and being afraid to do the right thing, who have largely joined the Democrats in the last 20 years or so in a two-headed corrupt Uni-party where they SPEND SPEND SPEND.
And in either party, there is only Trump who is serious about actually addressing the debt and entitlements issues, working to make them solvent and save the country.
Even as the Dick and Liz Cheneys, the Mitch McConnells, the Mitt Romneys (hasn't he been quiet lately?), the Lisa Murkowskis, the Susan Collinses, all do their damnedest to undermine Trump's every move, fighting him kicking and screaming the entire way.

Someday maybe you will appreciate that Trump is doing the hard lifting no one else on either side has been willing to do in over 35 years, and is the only one in either party taking risks to put in place what is best for the country, and prevent us from a collapse of the dollar, and bankruptcy of medicare, medicaid and social security. Even as your party tries to bankrupt these entitlements and U.S. currency even more quickly, by giving the money in those programs to illegal immigrants.

And you, delusional to what the Democrat-Bolshevik party is really about, are cheering them on.

.

Your anger and apopleptic lack of civiliy is showing ("Shit-stain"...). Maybe you should be out somewhere burning Tesla cars.



The polls are just wrong and manipulated, they almost always are, and the pollsters are almost all Democrats. That was propaganda that all 5 polls came out at once, showing a "significant drop" in support for Trump.

Pollster John McLaughlin and a second pollster said those polls are bogus. As bogus as the "51 intelligence officials" letter about Hunter Biden's laptop.
They explained that in their polling of Trump supporters over the last few months, about 95% say they still support Trump and would vote for him again,a very high ratio, and voers hy've polled understand that there is a temporary drop (or correction) in the stock market while tariff/trade negotiations play out. That the polls are Democrat propaganda, trying o undermine Trump's support, despite tha his voters still strongly support him.

Just like the polls said Michael Dukakis was 20 points ahead 9 months before the 1988 election. How did that work out?

It's propaganda. Psychological warfare on Trump supporters. And polls have done the same in every presidential election since a least 1988.
Polls are at this point largely a propaganda wing of he Democrat party.

Just like Factcheck, Poliifact and Snopes, that are fronted to be objective neutral "factcheck" sites, but are in fact propaganda sites, two of them run by among the most Democrat/far-Left aligned newspapers in the country.
So... clear propaganda. That "Trump losing support" narrative might have had some credibility 15 or 20 years ago, but we all know who operates these factcheck sites,and polls now. It doesn' t work anymore.

I know you attack polling when don’t like them but use them when you do. That’s propaganda. Yesterday the liberals won in Canada while the trumpy one lost his seat. A preview I think for here. Btw Trump is a shit stain but I adbocate no violence. Just constant resistance against his authoritarian rule.

I attack polling because it's TRUE !
About 90% of pollsters ARE Democrat/Liberals, and they ARE rigging the polls to give the Democrats the best spin.

Just as the liberal media is deliberately manipulating news media coverage in favor of Democrats, and to damage Republicans. Just yesterday I saw that Newsbusters/MediaResearchCener reported that Trump coverage by mainstream media is currently 92% negative (and that's actually down, from 97% negative coverage of Trump a few months ago during 2024). Liberal Newspeak bias, pure and simple.

In the example before I gave, of G H W Bush in the 1988 presidential campaign, pollsters brainwashed the public for a year that it was going to be an inevitable landslide for Dukakis in an unsurmountable 17-point lead, and Dukakis was instead overwhelmingly defeated in the 1988 election.

The polls did the same for Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996.
Same for Gore in 2000.
The inevitability of Hillary was fronted in the 2016 polls.

And in 2016 and 2024, pollsters never saw a Trump victory coming, and talked on CNN and liberal networks after about how they would have to "re-evaluate" how they do polling (but they just continue doing it largely the same way, with the same bias, they just can't help themselves).
Meanwhile, going back to 2000 and 2004, more conservative polling groups like RealClearPolitics and Rasmussen (the latter was the single mos accurate in the 2000 and 2004 elections). Democrat pollsters deliberately under-sample the ratio of known Republicans in heir sample, and over-sample he ratio of Democrats, so their polls ineviaably show more support for Democrats than actually exists. And in the 2 weeks right before an election, they actually make an effort to sample in the actual ratios hey knew all along, and the difference they explain as a "tightening" of the polls. No, they are just at the end sampling accurately, as compared to the deliberate propaganda hey are pushing up till that point.

At best, Democrat pollsters (which is to say virtually all of them) manipulate the sample to over-represent Democrat support, and boost morale of Democrat voters, while purposefully UNDER-representing Republican support, to undermine Republican morale before every election.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/rcp-pollster-scorecard/national/
and
https://www.yelp.com/topic/new-york...roject-for-excellence-in-journalism-2008

In the 2020 election, even in the states where Biden "won" (I still maintain that election was OBVIOUSLY rigged), even in the states where Biden "won", he "won" by significantly lower than was predicted.

And those are just facts, going back at least 20 years, that I've cited and linked in muliple RKMB presidential election and media bias topics.

.


By the way, M E M...
The propaganda talking point that Trump was crashing the stock market... that narrative is now officially dead.

The stock market has now fully recovered, and is actually above where it was the day President Trump implemented tariffs on China, India, the EU, Britain and other countries at the beginning of April, what he termed "independence day".

And the purpose was never to actually implement tariffs, but instead to THREATEN implementing tariffs, IF these countries didn't abolish their disproportionate tariffs ON US, and other end other unfair practices that could only be described as cheating and undermining actual fair trade, and using those practices to fleece the U.S. for decades in many nations unfair since 1945, until Trump finally pushed back for it to end.

Britain has signed a new trade deal with the U.S., the first to negotiate.
Now China has capitulated, with both the U.S. and China suspending tariffs for at least the next 90 days while negotiations occur and he details are worked out.

And with announcement of China negotiating (anticipated to be the biggest obstacle to ending tariffs) , the stock market shot back up and completely recovered from its former losses. An outcome that all conservative media predicted before the tariffs were ever implemented. That other countries need the U.S. market more than we need them, so at some point they would HAVE TO negotiate with the U.S., and the day that happened, the stock market would instantly come bounding back and recover.
Which is exactly what happened.

Despite Democrat-Bolsheviks and the 92% anti Trump liberal media spreading fear-porn to the contrary.


And WHILE this tariff war was going on,

1) Trump also secured about $ 8 trillion in foreign investment in the U.S.,
2) is currently in Saudi Arabia negotiating both a trade deal, peace and closer economic association between the Arab nations and Israel,
3) will be flying next to Turkey to have a joint meeting with Vladimir Putin and Volodomir Zelenskyy, o get "90%" closer to a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine,
and
4) also pressuring Iran to negotiate peace with the U.S. and its neighbors, for Iranto reform, or face a massive military invasion to end its nuclear weapons program.
And simultaneously, Trump is closing the last economic door for Iran, tightening sanctions on Iran's oil shipments to China, that are now 95% of Iran's remaining economy, if Iran doesn't negotiate a peaceful resolution and give up their nukes.

5) In the last few days, Trump also negotiated with India and Pakistan to prevent them from going into all-out wars over recent events in Kashmir.
That could possibly have escalated to a devastating war, possibly all-out war between these 2 nuclear-armed powers.


And if any of these things were occurring with Biden or Kamala running the country, the Democrat-Bolsheviks would have done... nothing.
They would have just sat on their hands, done nothing, and let war spread and the world burn.

Evidence of that is during 3 years of war in Ukraine, Russia called the Biden White House pretty much every day.
Biden would have just called a "lid" every day and slept on.
Kamala Harris would just babble on and giggle about school busses, coconut trees, and venn diagrams.

And no one in the Biden White House would even take their calls, on ANY of these crises.
There was ZERO attempt in 3 years by anyone in the Biden administration to make the slightest attempt to negotiate peace.
