Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
 
  • China’s finance ministry on Friday said it will impose a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the U.S. starting on April 10.
  • The ministry criticized Washington’s decision to impose 34% of additional reciprocal levies on China — bringing total U.S. tariffs against the country to 54% — as “inconsistent with international trade rules.”
  • U.S. stock futures and European markets fell sharply on news of the reciprocal tariffs.

Is Orange Turd going to complain how unfair this is?

This was his response. Very sane. Very calm. Not at all unhinged.

So is it all caps these days all the time?

Such old man yells at clouds vibes

My experience with elderly relatives is that all caps is the only way they can read the screen.

The idea that China "panics" can only be sold to the most gullible.

Now that USA will spiral down to deep depression, it’s going to be much easier to get the people behind whatever plan comes next.

So, how about you build a new empire, invade neighboring countries, commit war crimes left and right, and start exterminating people who don’t fit your arbitrary criteria. Germany tried that and it everything worked out perfectly.

Oh, wait…

Well anyway. I’m out of ideas.

Australia never had an empire, maybe it’s time?

But the deep depression wasn't entered "willingly". Better justification for righteous anger back then.

People can be angry at Trump and that momentum could be utilized by the next candidate. Nah, sounds too elaborate.

You could just form an authoritarian dictator monarchy, and gun down anyone who disagrees. There are many countries that followed this path already.

Not only that but he's going to act like it's an amazing surprise that came out of nowhere.
