    Trump’s not going to need to apply tarifs.

    Biden has both Russia and China on the back foot with failing economies, and significant social unrest. Both are desperate to make a deal with Trump. Trump only succeeds in negotiation when he can bully his adversary.

    If Biden had the faculties, he could have whipped both countries and probably avoided this mess.

      Trump whipped Mexico really well into paying for that wall.

      Trump just talks a bunch of shit lol. That’s actually why he won. Because he promised everything to everyone. He doesn’t have any real plans other than those related to genitals and immigrants. He never backs it up with any evidence either

      Trump negotiated really well with Foxconn too. Remember that 10 billion factory they were gonna build thanks to Trump?

      In fact, I’m actually willing to bet petrol prices and power prices will increase too. Because suddenly, batteries and solar have less competition and even if manufacturered in US, they can raise their prices

      It’s just really dumb 😂
