I am 55 and have been following Trump since the 1980's. Read his book when it came out.
In fact, I imagine most gen X and boomers who "hate Trump" today, loved him at one time.
Trump has built a lot of large buildings acting as his own GC. To make money on the buildings, he learned the trades.
He knows how to procure the materials, people and build skyscrapers.
The media would have us think of him as an orange clown entertainer.
Nah, this is a seriously smart guy that knows the in and out of building safe high rises.
Right now, China has a major issue with Tofu-Dreg high rises collapsing. Complete shiat buildings that fall apart after a few years.
A lot of the materials Trump has been forced to buy to build his high rises came from China.
He was forced to because of the trade imbalance.
No way to get it made in America.
So how do you do it?
Well Trump most likely had his engineers on the ground watching the process from manufacture to, in the container.
It is how Apple does it with foxconn. What most do not know about Apple in China? Apple has 100's of american engineers that live in China and babysit foxconn as they build the phones.
It is ridiculous and shouldn't have to be this way.
Our golden rule is do unto others as you'd have them do unto you.
China's? Do unto them before they do to you.
We will never have a healthy relationship, business wise, with China.
Trump has been thinking of this issue for decades and I trust his judgement on tarrifs more than a non-practicing lawyer from DC that has never worked or built anything in their life.
I've posted this before, but this is a good time to post it again. Donald Trump did an amazing interview with Playboy Magazine back in 1990. That interview gives one of the greatest looks into what makes Trump Trump, what he thinks about the world, politics, and a ton of other stuff. It is super-relevant, even now. Example:
How far are you willing to push adversaries? I will demand anything I can get. When you're doing business, you take people to the brink of breaking them without having them break, to the maximum point their heads can handle--without breaking them. That's the sign of a good businessman: Somebody else would take them fifteen steps beyond their breaking point.
Sound familiar (think tariffs)?
I can't recommend this interview highly enough. I happen to have this issue and have it put up in case one day I get to meet Trump and get it signed.
Playboy used to have it on their site so people could read it for free, but now it is behind a paywall. However, I found it at another non-Playboy non-nude site. It is safe. The only pics are the pics of Trump at the top of the article.
Read this interview. When you get into the meat of it, it will blow your mind just how long Trump has been thinking about politics and how he has stayed true to his beliefs.
Anytime - enjoy! Every time I read it I pick up on something else that is actually currently happening and it is eye-opening. There is stuff in there on Japan, allies taking advantage of us, and other current stuff and his actions are pretty much exactly what he said 35 years ago in this interview.
For anyone that doesn't want to read it because it came from Playboy - don't let that stop you. The interview is just that. An interview. It has zero to do with the magazine. They just happened to score a great interview from the future leader of the free world and hit it out of the park.
There is another dimension not mentioned in the thread referenced above, and in your post.
The effect on producer margin. Low margin business goes into the tank. Job losses in the millions as a consequence. This totally wrecks CCP social security, bloating their debts even more: 350% of GDP and rising. Just think of what this means: CCP is living 2.5 years ahead of where they are!!!
I would suggest CCP starts to eye extending the rehabilitation projects on the Löss Plateau (See John D. Liu), which would underpin rural life, instead of racing towards more exports and lacking domestic consumer demand. I mean, how else can you expect demand to grow if there:
is no job perspective to grow income
the limited way in which people can grow there money with investments took a nose dive of 10-20%
Housing bubble is about to explode
there is single silver lining, or should I say gold lining:
If people had invested in gold as they can since a couple of years.
economic depression means less CO2 production so now CCP can claim being the green winner.
With regard to buying land, that is impossible in CCP CHINA. The best one could do is lease it, which is effectively the case in the US as well.
To obtain an allod (= all = all, od = Germanic: öde/ land) title i.e. freehold title / land patent that is still possible in the US, and perhaps in some other jurisdictions in the world.
Generally, thanks to socialist policies, people no longer have a freehold title.
That said: in terms of housing bubble .... I'd rather have land than investments in fancy sounding cities and new builds. Cities are prisons where, if .gov want so, you could not even stand on the balcony and smoke a joint.
A friend of mine is a grower of all kinds of plants and trees. And somewhere on his premise, he has some interesting herbs, that we smoke from time to time in good spirits around a campfire!
In a city you'd need flushing toilets, waste disposal, etc. On your own land, if you plan it carefully, you waste is minimal and usually recyclable.
I believe the greater risk was not doing the tarriffs. before trump we were going to crash hard Americans were slated in the deep state reset to lose everything.
I have watched 4 videos in the last two days from inside China and read the article on the China built ship's parking tax. China's economy is falling fast. Its workers earn 80 cents an hour, work long hours and many times have two jobs. There is no cushion. Trump is not answering their calls. Remember what happened in Russia when the Soviet Union fell? It has taken time for the emerging Russia to appear.
Chinese sleepers are everywhere in this country. That great deception needs ending.
Risk, of course, but I have faith in the plan that has been very fine tuned. My biggest concern are Muslim enclaves.
Oh, and a month ago I thought Trump saying we needed the "pause" referenced the 2020 election. Appears there are two meanings to that piece of information.
I'm sure there is a plan to ban islam as a political ideology of evil just like other leftist ideologies should be - marxism, nazism, fascism, communism, socialism, etc.
Their goal is enslavement of the People and control of the means of production.
People need to be reminded of something.

Awesome, thanks!!!

Wow, I had no idea… thanks for educating me. Makes sense.
Absolutely true.

Your #3 point of the housing bubble about to explode?
100%
This is the worst time in the history of the world to buy a parcel of land.
But, at the same time? The elites do not want us to buy a parcel of land.
My thought?
They think they are being clever and will enslave us into high interest properties, but here is the thing they did not calculate.
These young buyers are factoring in all the other cost.
Like, property tax.
Hehe
I actually have great faith in the youngins!

ChatGPT BS from an Indian engagement farmer. Wall of text chain of 50 posts just to say "this was planned".
Thanks!
Excellent and interesting read, thanks.
I believe the greater risk was not doing the tarriffs. before trump we were going to crash hard Americans were slated in the deep state reset to lose everything.
and to die! after being feasted on by Hillary Clinton!

The thing that worries me is the fundamental mormon enclaves. When Arizona tried to exercise legal control, the courts found in favor of the enclaves.
Mormons are not on my radar. What danger do they pose to the world at large? None
islam is pure EVIL/ satanic and infiltrating every corner of the world just waiting for the opportunity to murder or enslave infidels.
The fundamental church which practices polygamy and pedophilia.
I will keep them on my radar for now on. Thanks fren.
