President Donald Trump, in his post, highlighted that China has been hit harder in the ongoing trade war between the world nations and the United States. He also said that the reciprocal tariffs imposed on the nations are a result of them treating the US badly with their tariff rates.
“China has been hit much harder than the USA, not even close. They, and many other nations, have treated us unsustainably badly. We have been the dumb and helpless ‘whipping post,’ but not any longer,” said Trump in his Truth Social post.
The President also attempted to reassure the people of America and investors that the $5 trillion lost in the US stock market crash on Friday was a form of investment which is aimed at making “America great again”. However, he also addressed that this trade war route will not be easy for the nation.
“Already, more than FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT, and rising fast! THIS IS AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION, AND WE WILL WIN. HANG TOUGH, it won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” said Donald Trump in his post on Truth Social.
China on Saturday flagged that the United States should to stop doing the “wrong things” and work to resolve its differences with its trading partners.
“Now is the time for the U.S. to stop doing the wrong things and resolve the differences with trading partners through equal-footed consultation,” said the Chinese Foreign Ministry's spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, in a Facebook post.

Enemedia about to go apoplectic in 3...2...1...
A persistent and growing trade imbalance, are a consequence of America’s economic problems, industrial hollowing-out, and debt/financialization - not a cause
The root cause is America’s printed, fiat currency, issued by a central political/government authority.
its been known for 1000 years that government debasement of currency and its effects on money supply benefit the government and those closest to money creation (ie. cronies and the rich) - at the expensive of society and lower classes.
Donald Trump didn’t want to be president of America just for the glory or power trip he like the rest of us has an investment in it for the future of all.
He like most understand full well how other countries have been able to use us to their benefit at our cost all thanks to the whores for under the table money.
Founders rap boxes
At least he’s not lying people into war like the guy you supported previously
Does sound weird.
Some economist said IF the money leaving the market is being invested in expanding/building/bringing back manufacturing/jobs here then it works out.
Every expert says this is a genius plan or destroying the economy.
To be generous, Mr. Anubhav Muhkerjee is misinterpreting what Trump said. To be blunt, he's lying. Trump is saying that there has been $5T dollars of investments based on companies and countries announcing said investments. Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Apple, TSMC, Honda, Hyundai, the Stargate Project, etc, etc, etc. Trump is NOT calling the stock market losses "investment". The stock market losses suck, the investments are a good thing.
Considering all the Trump hating experts, pundits, politicians, journalist, and talking heads said Trump would never be president 5,000 times, which experts ya gunna believe Tammy?
It’s all great I guess but the Libs will undo ALL of this just as soon as they get back into power
Shoot yourself now!
Weird. I could swear that I saw an article on the Daily Mail earlier today reporting that Trump’s approval had jumped to 53% in their poll AFTER Liberation Day.
But it seems to be gone now.
The 5 trillion invested Trump is talking about is the money being reshored.
Trump didn't call the loses in the stockmarket an investment. That was the author's misleading interpretation.
Don't fall for it.
It's no surprise that you did.
OK, I’m game.
What money is being “reshored”?
“Trump is saying that there has been $5T dollars of investments based on companies and countries announcing said investments. Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Apple, TSMC, Honda, Hyundai, the Stargate Project, etc, etc, etc.”
That doesn’t pass muster.
First of all, pledges don’t mean real money will change hands. Google “wisconsin foxconn.”
Second, the examples you cite don’t come close to $5 trillion....AND THEY WERE ALL PLEDGED WELL BEFORE OUR TRADE WAR. They have NO correlation to raising tariffs astronomically. The Saudis...who I’d trust as far as I can throw...pledged $600 billion. Hyundai pledge $15 billion, Apple $500 billion, Honda $1 billion, Taiwan Semi $100 billion, Stargate $500 billion. All are multi-year pledges which can delayed, extended, or withdrawn at any time.
So, we’re back where we started. If President Trump DIDN’T mean market losses, where’d the number come from?
“The root cause is America’s printed, fiat currency, issued by a central political/government authority.”
We have had a purely fiat currency since Nixon closed the gold window in 1971.
If your “root theory” idea was correct there would have been no Reagan prosperity followed by its echo lasting into the 1990s.
The Chinese have a population 4 times larger than the USA so why can’t the sell their product to their own population?
Cause the chinese don’t pay their people to buy all the toys we do. The chinese people barely make enough to buy food and pay rent.
WATCH: New Trump video touts $5 TRILLION coming to America
Trump has been touting money and investment being reshored. I'm suprised somebody here isn't familiar with it.
