If they suck at each other, then that's way less bad. Root for simultaneous knockout punches.
They both suck.

All the more reason for MAGAs to hate China - they were MEAN to Daddy!
Big flex from China. I'm waiting for a country to call trump's bluff by putting an export tax on their own goods sent to the USA.
Canada should have done this on everything. If the Americans can afford the tariff then there is room for us to charge more. Not really but yeah should do it.
If only.. America holds 20% of global purchasing power so an export tax like that would result in needing to lower local interest rates to boost domestic productivity, which would decrease foreign investment, eventually weakening the local currency.
It would be hilarious if a country that exports very little to nothing to the US did it to make a point though. Totally on board with that.

Didn't this happen last time? Less dramatically, but still.
He puts in a bunch of tariffs. China reciprocates. The market is thrown into chaos. He shouts and screams. China ignores him. He backtracks. China ends the tariffs but doesn't do anything to try and appease him. He claims it's a victory. His fluffers say the tariffs were just to bring China to the table, which justifies the hit to the market, despite the fact China didn't come to the table and President Pigshit didn't articulate what China could actually give him to end the tariffs.
Yes, but this time he also decided to tariff the whole world.
Wish somebody told him he didn't have the cards.
The cards are made in China

Everyone is somehow missing China cutting off rare earth metals the US relies on for technology and defense
It wasn't just stopping exports to the US, they've stopped exporting rare earth elements worldwide starting yesterday. Plus, they are starting to unload billion of debt we owe them. It's almost as if Trump is intentionally trying to destroy our country in the morning, and then later in the day he wants to be the bully negotiator without understanding his precarious position.
You remember r/shitamericanssay? Last time he won, there were a lot of people talking about stuff Europe has but America doesn't, and, if you browse the posts there, a lot of Americans responding how Europe is backwards, in the stone age, and what they do have is paid for by America, out of benevolence.
Well, those folks are in charge now.

Despite that, Fox News will continue stacking his invisible laurels. Doesn't matter if his policy does anything. All that matters is that his followers are convinced that the policies are doing something.
Everyone turn on your ad blocker and go look at that website, it’s (2024-)incredible it’s legal to be so disingenuous
I made the mistake of visiting yesterday and I will never not be dumber because I read their first seven headlines plus at least a dozen comments
That’s right, those headlines are the dumbest things you’ve ever seen on the planet… but then you scroll to the bottom of an article
Pray for me

...
Trump keeps begging for China deal while bragging about phone calls kissing his ass. No foreign meetings. No envoy sent to China.
China limits US studio film releases
Bessent says Tariffs are no joke. China must make a deal.
Chinese airlines refuse Boeing+parts deliveries (reported as "China orders", but leopards were not going to make US aerospace affordable at 125% tariffs.
I think Xi might have figured out Trump’s secret. He has no fucking clue what he’s doing. He scares people into reacting by being reckless, then claims a win for getting a reaction.
Ignoring trolls takes their power away.
