Trump does have a valid point when it comes to China at least and a lot of other countries/regions who rely on the US especially Militarily - China can produce goods and services for far cheaper than other countries and flood the market - not a level playing field
The EU abolished Tariffs between it's member states.
The US accounts for 25% of the Global Economy.
Many countries are now negotiating with the US as far as trade goes so deals will be done even with China - China should be the main target in this Tariff War.

Whoa Sal you think Trump actually has a plan? You can start negotiating tariffs at any time but tanking your own economy by a few trillion by declaring tariff war on the world was all about him wanting the world to bow down at his feet-especially China. Didn't work out he way he wanted-especially after hitting China with the biggest tariff then sending Beijing a message " dont retaliate, get Xi to call Trump". The Chinese played the "you can go and fk yourself policy" and called his bluff. So here we are- 1 trade deal "framework" done with a country they actually had a surplus with and all the Cletus Trumps are thinking its the first step towards him abolishing income tax and sending them a $5000 cheque with the proceeds of all these tariffs being collected.
Sure the 100 or so other countries will do a deal-but if they lay down and let the US dictate what it should be then they are the biggest idiots. Trump and America are no longer trusted-in business or for military protection. Maybe 80 million Republican voters are quite happy to let him lie and believe everything he says- but as the Canadian PM showed in his meeting with Trump the other day-the rest of the world doesn't have to believe his bullshit.
As for China, Trump has said in the last 24 hrs that he expects the tariffs to fall from 145% to 80% for them. He actually did the negotiations for that by himself with himself. And after repeatedly being turned down by China for talks, they have finally got a meeting between the trade ministers in Switzerland in the next 24hrs. Doesn't matter what is negotiated, like the UK deal, Trump will declare it a win for him and the US and all his followers will rejoice
Ill say it again, Xi will only get 1 Trump in his lifetime and wont miss the opportunity to exploit him

China will collapse and communism will be overthrown - It's a matter of when not if. All know the US has the advantage being 25% of the Global Economy.
I'm open to new information sources, but you have to be kidding with what you posted. The first video made by someone calling themselves "China Lens" is from the US and has 3000 subscribers of 195 videos of 12 months of China bashing. The second video, which starts off with "altered or synthetic content" – I mean, do you need to go any further? I checked out one of the videos that said Australia was part of a group of countries, which included France, Germany and Japan, that rolled out solidarity tariffs against Chinese imports varying from 35% and higher. LOL WTF????
Tip Sal – any video that has synthetic or text-to-speech voices is full of shit and has nil credibility – and those 2 videos you posted have me worried that you are the type of person who can get scammed by clickbait or, even worse, brainwashed by the far right.
The last video, Fox News Business... Do I really need to go through the ethics of the Murdoch News Ltd media?
If all you know is "the US has the advantage of being 25% of the global economy", then you're missing a lot !! These tariffs are hurting all economies, especially the United States and China, but declaring "China will collapse and communism will be overthrown" is a tad rich?
Love how old mate's gone missing after his 100 pro-Trump, 100 pro-Russia threads and detailing of how he was a Liberal Party volunteer ahead of the referendum.

We'll see him again next election I suppose
Please explain who old mate is? He / she has a right of reply to your constant bashing and sniping.
Also, to those few posters who aren’t on ism’s ignore list, please show him this message as I’d really like a response.

I think he is referring to Jack's Fur Coat as he was a volunteer before the Referendum....but not sure about the pro Russia stance, which is more Paddo, actually I am confused too.....

Lol, that’s where my thoughts went too. Jack I’m pretty sure said he was once a volunteer, plus he likes Trump but he’s sure no Putin lover. The only poster that applies to is Paddo and he’s the most radical leftist poster on here. But hey Putin allegedly isn’t a leftie according to Paddo either. But whoever old mate is, I’m getting tired of hearing about him non stop and not knowing his true identity.

I think (in this case) he's referring to three different people. The good Barron, PaddoColt61 and yours truly. In the Ism22 view of the world, any content he does not agree with must come from one person. So 'old mate' is born.. And I think others have been included as 'old mate' too...basically anyone he disagrees with.
