I wonder if we’ll go into Harbor Freight for a 2-dollar hammer and it’s now $2000 dollars. lol

I couldn’t agree more. In fact that is a central point of this:

I’m just saying, the point in there about pragmatic trade imbalance is valid too. Lesotho’s exports to the USA benefit the USA but Trump can’t expect a country that small and that poor to weather tariffs. Their pay is $20 a day or less; nobody there is going to be buying a brand new Ford pickup.

I notice how China was a self-sufficient, world class economic powerhouse before Clinton, while the US was impoverished.

All this means is that the free traitors and grifters will have to see their immense wealth and profits fall.
Inflation adjusted US wages have been stagnant since 1970 despite a doubling of the per capia GDP.
It has all gone to greedy executives, useless bureaucrats, piticians, and other parasites.

Trump is going to break the ChiComs in less than a year. To keep the bond yields high, yesterday they sold $1/2 trillion in fed securities. The Yuan is crashing.

Like Drago in Rocky IV, Trump must break China. And he will.

Thanks for the post. I trust your knowledge of a lot of things. I remember when people were worried about what China just did because the Chinese held a trillion dollars in treasury bonds. Hopefully, the market just shrugged. Maybe the old style Yankee Trader is going to get the best of the Chinese again!

They dumped a half trillion yesterday just to keep afloat.
Trump now saying 100% tariff. FAFO.

China just declared trade war back at the US, and said that “neither China nor the rest of the world” will stand for the US’ behavior. Somebody’s not getting enough attention. Aww. I think the rest of the world wants to trade. Xi Jinpig can GFHS.
