I'm not hating. I'm just stating inconvenient facts. Some of these Chinese construction companies are not good actors. I have blasted Bihar bridge construction, and Boeing shoddy manufacturing. We didn't wait for investigations to conclude the findings for those cases. We cannot be politically biased when it comes to things where irresponsibility can endanger people's lives. This Bangkok building collapse may not be their fault, but lets not pre-assume that they are gonna be innocent.
The fact is you have no facts right now, so being so convinced of a pre-determined conclusion is not warranted.

Trade war is foolish, economics 101. But what trump may think is he may try to have these importing countries reduce their profit margins. However, it's still foolish as there will be less goods available to talk USA consumers because if the importing countries suffer due to low profit margins, then they will simply stop selling to the USA. Inflation or Soviet union-like shortage of certain goods. One can't twist or spin this as economically prosperous. Feel free to challange my opinion
Tariff individual countries makes others more competitive relative to that country, when you tariff everyone you're better be sure yourself is more competitive than everyone. US is not, which means this just leveled the playing field for China and turned tariff into an effective corporate tax hike, which will be pased onto being a sales tax hike. Getting tax hating MAGA to cheer a sales tax hike is certainly one of the moves of all time.
