Trump 2.0 official thread

"I'm ignorant but can anyone explain to me why any country would give custody of its treasure to another country? Can it not construct its own safe house?"

It was an old system for settling international payments. A long hallway with rooms: one room was labeled Germany and the other France. And, let's say, at the end of the year or the end of each quarter (I don't remember this detail), a wheelbarrow would move the gold from one place to another. Today, the system controlled by the despotic power of Washington is similar.

China's dollars are on a hard drive in Washington

Nothing has changed since the City of London

Apropos of nothing, but it just seemed fitting.

What a riveting read. I must say that I learn something from your posts and views I had not thought about or may have considered but lack both the capacity and capability to distill them in a coherent fashion the way you do.

Prof Yanis Varoufakis is someone I really like reading and listening to.

On this theory, do not believe it at all.

I am merely a simple person.

More prone to believe more standard concepts like no one controls the battlefield.

Anyways, a basic counterpoint.

China is the biggest trader in the world.

We can assume that is due in part to price and quality, which are reasonable assumptions as to why China is the biggest trading nation in the world with a $1 trillion dollar trade surplus.

So, that is the counterpoint, a basic question, why would more people trade with America? Did they beat China in price and quality?

Err ... we probably know the answer to that ...

(Because if the Americans cannot beat China products in terms of price or quality, then why should China care.)

Having some manufacturing is one thing. Being competitive is another.

Check it out.

Go2 greatly resembles Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot, but it is available for a much lower price tag. Spot is available for $74,500, while the Unitree Go2 starts at an impressively low $1,600.

Why should China be concerned about this plan to reinvigorate American manufacturing when they sell their robot dogs for $75,000 thousand bucks?

Only an American think-tank will believe the Chinese will be worried.

Like what Wang Yi said, they will, 奉陪到底 !

I still think this trade war is all phony and fake.

There is a lot of this stuff that I do not understand, and how the lying Liberal media portrays it or how Faux News talks about it, makes no sense at all.

1. Apparently China manufacturing economy, is bigger than America, Germany, and Japan, combined.

Now if America appropriates other nations manufacturing capabilities, then how much smaller would Chinese manufacturing be compared to America, Germany, and Japan, combined.

At this point in the telecast, they shove the microphone in front of comrade Chang and let him do his magic and ancient spells.

2. What if the American factory is able to reduce the price of its robot dog from $75,000 thousand to only $20,000 - then what?

Panic time in China! China, China, Chyna!

3. Who is going to buy your output? Like at this point, this conversation is kind of over, like who cares.

Chinese people generally do not buy American cars imported into China. They buy other types of cars mostly. Only Americans from now on will buy most of American car production. They probably cannot buy a Chinese EV.

The American consumer the winner, maybe.

Maybe they can get a deal from president Trump.

Or maybe this guy. More trustworthy.

"Pagafantas", the one who pays for the girl's drink, is a spanish colloquial expression to refer to someone who cannot get beyond the friend zone, that is to say: the same as the girl's gay friend who meets to chat and nothing else.

The proposed restructuring is as follows:

A) Currently: you manufacture something and sell it to me, I pay you with a green piece of paper fresh off the printing press, and you use the green piece of paper to buy my Debt maturing in 2-5-10-30 years.

B) Now we'll do it this way: for the enormous privilege of receiving green pieces of paper in exchange for your work, you'll buy 100-year or 1,000-year debt from me: Perpetual Debt.
