Let the Real games begin

I think its a clue to how obvious something is for trump to actually notice it. If its shiny, has primary colours and makes noise. he sees it quite quickly and screams "Tariff"..
Like China, (10%). Canada and Mexico (25%) Because they are closer and he can smell them if thr wind is right.. But someone woke him from his nap and used their words to explain to him what I have been saying for years. The BRICS nations smell blood in the water and are making their move. The first move came when China, Japan and others started selling off their positions in $US a few weeks ago, reducing their vulnerability on the downside. But never fear. trump has his brilliant economic response ready. Impose Tariffs at !00%. Yep.. Someone really thought this through.. Its probably a bit much to say the $US will go the way of the Rouble. After Americ hasnt invaded one of its neighbours....yet..😷

Not sure why Trump thinks that imposing a 100% tariff will force countries from to reconsider, or abandon, CIPS.

With the exception of selected Silicon Valley technologies, China, Russia and Europe, offer alternatives to US supplied products/services/technology that these countries can't do without (cars, planes, military, etc).

@Northwest What can I say? Screaming "Tariff" seemed to work for him in the election, so he will keep right on doing it. But when this goes down. (and it is underway, as I predicted) it could halve the value of the $US against other currencies. And give the US a golden opportunity to remove Trillions of criminal $ from circulation, by printing new updated Bills and having a sunset clause on exchanging old bills. But we all know that will never happen.. Too many of the "Right people" have suitcases for of $US they cant account for..😷

@Northwest did you believe JoeB too when he repeatedly said he wouldn’t pardon his son ?

I bet you're also the socially awkward guy that everyone tries to avoid. Get lost.

@Northwest Small point of order. Being socially awkward doesnt make you wrong. In fact, is can allow you to see from outside the cloud of "groupthink". Listen to the different voice. It may be something no one else has thought of..😷

There was no right/wrong in this discussion, and two things can be right at the same time, or wrong as the case may be.

@Northwest Absolute twaddle.
