I doubt the US economy would do well without imports from China

Every country should just undermine the US dollar

This is like a man saying he will burn down his house if the firemen show up to put out his house fire.

I'm almost certain that this is not only Trump's desire but Musk's and other billionaires, they want this country to die because it means during the rebuilding stage they can control what the country will be like going forward effectively write the legislation to entirely serve their interests and make it legally impossible to undo it, they don't care how many have to suffer and die for it, being a sociopath is par the course for them.

Would probably damage the economy beyond repair, but it's likely the plan ain't it?

seems pretty bold of Diaper Donnie to go against Daddy Vladdy so openly like that. seems like he thinks he is untouchable now.

At a summit of BRIC nations in October, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and described it as a big mistake.

this whole situation is fucked.

Things will get more expensive. I hope the people who voted for Trump thinking he will lower prices pay attention.

Only Trump gets to undermine the dollar!

They are hopefully in for a rude awakening when they realise that no one will have to care what they think anymore once the nation has collapsed

I'd rather they not, I have to live here, lol.

I can never understand Trump on this issue. Trading with other countries only benefits the economy.

The ultimate end of white supremacy. They'd rather destroy the economy than ever admit they were wrong.

"The only thing I want to send to China is missiles!" ~ The Onion

Trump doesn't know what Tarrifs are or how the economy works and all polling shows that most American Adults support the Tarrifs because "It shows America is tough"

We're doomed

This all sounds like theatrics. Then Putin concedes some token bill shit and Trump eased up on anything against Russia and then gets to claim his tariffs negotiations worked.

Cheap imports from China is whats made the US economy grow so much, but also widen the gap between the upper and middle class since the biggest benefactors were stores like walmart/ Target.

It is. They call themselves accelerationists, and they do want everything to collapse so they can be the ones to dictate how things are rebuilt afterwards.

Isn't BRICS a barely functioning coalition of countries that dislike each at best to hate each other at worst?

Well, we'll see how this goes.
