Trump will lose bigly to China - why?

Essentially, Trump is facing the real consequences of his own incompetent "decisions". In Trump's world, this is "winning".

As long as he has incompetent sycophants he can blame for his failures, he will never admit to his own incompetent "decisions." I suspect that he knows full well that many of his appointees are basically incompetent, and chooses them, at least partly, for that very reason, so he will always have someone under him whom he can credibly accuse of incompetence to blame for his own failures.

All of those things. And the fact that at this point who else would work for him? In my opinion he had some first class generals in his first administration who advised him and tried to keep him in check...and look what he did to them. Rex Tillerson seemed like a sane, level headed, and intelligent person and today I am more than sure he wouldn't go near Trump with the ten foot pole.

What's he got now? Incompetent sychophants as you said not to mention Nazi wannabe Steven Miller.

Trump has a public history of destroying everyone and everything he comes in contact with. That trait should be glaringly obvious to anyone by now.

p.s. Hegseth is nuts.

Trump's cabinet only makes sense when you realize he wants America to fail, and perhaps be looted while that is happening.

Yes, it is becoming harder and harder for any reasonable person to avoid coming to that conclusion.

Headline on CNN. It's all over the internet including youtube. Look for youtube videos where he says this out of his own mouth. I watched a series of youtube videos myself. Not going back to pick up the links. Anyone can find them.

Trump says China tariffs will ‘come down substantially,’ hinting at potential U-turn

In other news...

Apparently Elon, having lost his Tesla shirt, says he is preparing to get out of Dodge.

In spite of his text about firing Powell, he now says he will not.

Still saying he won't get rid of drunken psycho Hegseth...just stay tuned on that.

And the fools who support him will say that we've always been at war with Eurasia. This is exhausting. This is exactly what I liked most about the Biden administration, despite my overall negative opinion of him. At least I knew adults were in charge and I didn't wake up every day wondering what kind of chaos the world would be thrown into.
