Trump 2.0 official thread

[AssassinsMace]

I wonder if Trump is looking for a two-engine F-35 because China is making a three-engine fighter. He does seems to be capable of that kind of superficiality. Stealth fighters just don't look good to him... Just imagine all the Trumptards' heads exploding after claiming Chinese stealth fighters are inferior because they need two engines.

Trump-such a shallow,superficial dumbass-I am not an aerospace engineer nor designer but even I would know you can't just cut open a single engine jet like an F35 and just cram in another F119 engine like putting in another piece of ham into a sandwich.And Trumptards will have a stroke if J36 has some technological surprises from that third engine and such-hope so.

I'm 99% certain the two engine F-35 comment came after he saw a photo of J-35 and, because he's not blind, instantly know it's a better looking, superior aircraft.

Japan to hold out for better trade deal with US​

Japan has signalled it is prepared to hold out for a better deal with US President Donald Trump over trade tariffs, pushing for full removal of his 25 per cent duty on imports of Japanese cars rather than risk a domestic political backlash.

“Although Japan was very keen to be the first nation to open negotiations with Washington on tariffs, that sense of urgency has now shifted and the emphasis is on ensuring that Japan gets a good deal,” said an official in Tokyo with direct knowledge of the negotiations.

“Japan’s position has hardened. Shigeru Ishiba is fighting for his — and his party’s — political life. He can’t just roll over. Autos accounted for 81 per cent of Japan’s trade surplus with the US in 2024. If PM Ishiba fails to get tariff relief in the autos sector, he’s on a conveyor belt towards rotating knives,” said Nicholas Smith, a Japan strategist at CLSA.

Also in related news, US government is quite predictably suffering a huge brain drain as a result of DOGE.

Across the federal government, a push for early retirement and voluntary separation is fueling a voluntary exodus of experienced, knowledgeable staffers unlike anything in living memory, according to interviews with 18 employees across 10 agencies and records reviewed by The Post. Other leaders with decades of service are being dismissed as the administration eliminates full offices or divisions at a time.

The first resignation offer, sent in January, saw 75,000 workers across government agree to quit and keep drawing pay through September, the administration has said. But a second round, rolling out agency by agency through the spring, is seeing a sustained, swelling uptick that will dwarf the first, potentially climbing into the hundreds of thousands, the employees and the records show.

China first(3 engines), America second(1~2 engines)...
Trump knows, the world isn't ready for this truth nuke.

I am indeed shocked at how stubborn the Japanese have been till now.

I am still pessimistic though - if the US decides to go hard, without China, ROW is toast. Just going to wait and watch.

It's the 35% tariffs on automobiles and auto parts, which will kill a significant part of Japan's automobile industry.

Contrast that with the UK, which got 0% for the first 100K cars exported to the USA.

China has showed the world that if you grow a spine and doesn't kneel, US will blink first.
