Fuck China!

For many years China (and many other countries) has been taking advantage of the United States on Trade, Intellectual Property Theft, and much more. Our Country has been losing HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year to China, with no end in sight Sadly, past Administrations have allowed China to get so far ahead of Fair and Balanced Trade that it has become a great burden to the American Taxpayer. As President, I can no longer allow this to happen! In the spirit of achieving Fair Trade, we must Balance this very unfair Trading Relationship. China should not have put new Tariffs on 75 BILLION DOLLARS of United States product (politically motivated!). Starting on October 1st, the 250 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, currently being taxed at 25%, will be taxed at 30% Additionally, the remaining 300 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, that was being taxed from September 1st at 10%, will now be taxed at 15%. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Stop buying cheap, disposable crap, folks.

I buy very high end resale as much as possible. Get awesome stuff for a dime on the dollar.

Most recently purchased a BB Italia sectional that i am now recovering in mohair velvet. Paid 1/10th of what it is worth -- the lady redecorated and just wanted it out of her house.

Do you have any idea how many businesses the Chinese have caused to fold and close shop because of their intellectual property theft?

Do you have any idea how many jobs that cost the US and how many people it hurts

And do you know they are STILL DOING IT TO THIS DAY!

Do you know how many politicians were paid off by them and made generationally wealthy and still are today

Just because you sat on your fat ass and devoured cheap shit like a pig and went to the dollar store every week is no excuse for you not to pay attention to what the fuck the Ching Chongs have been doing to us the last 25 years you sniveling child

Do you want to be a slave to Chinese overlords? Because that’s whats going to happen if this doesn’t get fixed

Fair warning I have no idea how this will play out given that our economies were so damned interlinked but I wonder...

What is the next move? Once Tariffs exceed the potential for doing business altogether which I guess would roughly begin to start happening around 30-40% right?

And once that occurs are we going to see an uptick in military activity? How sure are we that this will stay in the economic sector only?
