Which is why Trump added tariffs on China. To… to blur his tracks. The best action is to do the opposite of what you want to do, so people don’t know what you’re doing.
This, or China supports the Dems, and everything else becomes logical. But let’s start the narrative that Trump supports China by banning their apps and products.
- daveguy 2y agoHahaha. "banning". Only Trump could save a company from being banned, try to buy it with US tax dollars, and have his stooges claim he's against the company.
- ryandrake 2y agoForeign adversaries don't care about political party. They want chaos, internal division, and institutional destruction, and for the moment, that means Trump. If there was a viable candidate from BlueTeam who promised to sow chaos and dismantle the government, you can bet they'd support them just as happily.
- moduspol 2y agoDo they want tariffs to be placed on them?
- ryandrake 2y agoPutting myself in the shoes of an opposing country, a few minor tariffs is a small price to pay if my opponent is willingly tearing its own institutions and governing structures down.
- moduspol 2y agoI suppose we can all speculate, but the thesis is unfalsifiable with arguments like that.
- inverted_flag 2y agoIn the eyes of China, Trump's piddly little tariffs are a small price to pay for the damage he'll inflict on the US over the next 4 years.
