US President Donald Trump's misplaced tariff policies are hurting America's allies but will fail to tank the Chinese economy, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday.

In a tongue-in-cheek post on Telegram on Labor Day, Medvedev, who serves as deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, argued that Trump deserved an "exemplary labor" award for "starting the tariff battle."
The US's neighbors, as well as its allies in Europe, were "suffering" and "crying" from the duties imposed by Washington, he wrote. "They are all in a really bad position, facing the need to bow down in a ritual known as 'kiss my ass,'" the ex-president quipped.
"China, on the other hand, possesses enormous resources and a vast domestic market -factors that will enable its economy to withstand any amount of pressure. This is where Trump made a blunder," he added. "Trump's approval ratings have dipped, while the 'deep state' is vigorously resisting him," Medvedev wrote.

“US President Donald Trump’s misplaced tariff policies are hurting America’s allies but will fail to tank the Chinese economy, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday.”
This should show why a new generation of leaders is necessary in Russia. The goal isn’t to tank the Chinese economy; the goal is to protect our own.
As the dozens of Chicom 'ghost' cities are empty. Great time for a slapdown.
Medvedev knows he has an ally with anti-Trump, Anti-America Lying Leftist media. He has nothing to lose by saying this.
he’s not wrong, and i don’t even like putin. president trump should’ve went even heavier on the tariff for chinese.
i don’t care if the traitors who shop at Temu have to pay 1000% for counterfeits.
Medevdev is obviously the go-to-guy to get a balanced, objective evaluation of Trump policies.
Actually Medvedev looks like a normal person. Reminds me of William F Buckley’s comment on Gorbachev — he was the first Russian leader you could take into a Western restaurant and not cause a panic.
He’s just Vlad’s bad cop in their little good cop/bad cop routine.
The two of them have been running this gig for about two decades. Every now and then Vlad let’s him drive for a bit then kicks him back downstairs.
China’s is tanking as we speak.
Indeed and 10 million jobs on hold now.
Biden did it. Russia is now another Chinese puppet government. Just wait until China’s economy bottoms. Russia will be singing a different tune.
The Chinese economy is tanked. Millions of jobs lost. Factories idle, ships at harbor, etc.
the scariest white people in the world, people are saying.
The chinese, especially Poo bear ‘xi’ have drank the cool aid and doubled down with tofu economy cookies. If they do not come hat in hand to Trump. Their hegemony, their world will collapses. Factories locked up, lock outs, wages not paid, riots, arson, all this and more is waiting for the ccp.
