Very alarming list. A sorry state of full dependence on China. Not good. Amazing how our economy became a hostage to China. Thanks to Biden and thanks to democrats bringing China to WTO. More reasons not to be China dependent. Screaming for more manufacturing in the US. Unless one is pro China. thanks for sharing

Kamkar. He has good hands because of power as leader of USA and because we are the world's highest consumers. We are in a $40T debt, this country is heading to bankruptcy. I explained it. $2T of our Tax money just goes for the interest we pay on it. Can you imagine what this country can do with that 2T? That is twice our pentagon budget. Our children and grand children have to pay these debts. Fareed leaving 40T out is huge. That is for globalist funded Fareed.
As I said it is like I have a 5 million dollar house, 20 million of debt, 1 million income and I keep borrowing to pay my debt. I can transact, but I am ultimately broke.
Imposing tariffs is not what Trump is after. NOt at all. It is a bargaining chip. Just like NATO. He said if you don't pay I wont protect you, and everyone started paying. Almost everyone thought he would leave NATO. This is the same game.
Here are two real elements he is after.
1) Trade defecit: We import more than we export (perhaps the only country) and what he is asking is let's level it. Buy from me the same amount I buy from you (Which is totally fair). Not only you buy from me less, you also put tariif on what I sell you.
2) Trade barriers: Like EU, and their regulations... like we throw a big brick on your car windshield, it should not break; otherwise we are not buying your car. Same rules dont apply to their cars.
Tarrifs are just there as bargaining chip. None of that will be imposed. Will be imposed if you don't play ball. Will it work? It is a "game of chicken" and he believes he is playing with F-350 vs Honda Civic. We have to see.
China: Cannot weather this; the retaliatory tariffs is not going to work. We export 1/5 of they export. They'll get the hit pretty bad.
Am I worried? No! Does he care about the market, nah because the wealthiest 10% owns 95% of the stocks. And as we witnessed with one concessions stocks are back up. And he knows it.

Comments: Farzad, that's exactly what Farid was talking about. It's because of the American economic strength that the European and Asian countries need to make deals.Time will only tell.

Comments: Cyrus: What you posted was the real worst case scenario for US. People underestimate power of masses in European countries. Once they have a cause, they can truely fuck the opposition, in this case being USA. Unfortunately, with Isreal demolishing Ghaza and Palestanian, people around the world, peopel blame it on USA, and now the tariffs, US is up for a rude awaking. Stock market is also convinced, Trump is a man designed to bring USA down. This would be the first time, a self destruction of USA by a president in history.

Comments: What a game Arsenal played. I know Real had few chances, but Arsenal could score at least 10 in this match alone. Real GK was man of the match in a 3-0 game!!!

Comments: Ali P. That guy is a frequent guest on Pierce Morgan. It's been decades since I totally gave up the "Democratic Cooperate American Media". Not much different from IRI propaganda machine. Specially since the creation of Fox news when the news became black and white. Thank God for internet where there are some outlets where you can see and hear things like the one you posted.

Comments: By Dewey Carew :
Anything But American
A subtle yet powerful shift is unfolding in global consumer behavior: people are choosing anything but American. This isn’t just about preference—it’s about principle, politics, and purchasing power.
In Canada, the "Buy Canadian" wave is swelling. Retailers are increasingly favoring homegrown brands over American imports. Irving Personal Care, a local manufacturer, reports booming demand as patriotic shoppers pivot away from U.S. goods. This movement gained steam in response to political friction and perceived trade slights from the U.S.
Europe is echoing the sentiment. In Denmark, the Salling Group, the nation’s largest grocery retailer, now labels European-made products to guide consumers avoiding American items. This change followed controversial U.S. comments about Greenland, sparking a mix of nationalism and economic activism.
Down under in Australia, citizens are calling for a boycott of American goods. Hashtags like #BuyAustralian and #NoToUSGoods are gaining traction. From whiskey to tech, Aussies are leaning into local options, expressing discontent with American trade policies via their wallets.
And the impact is real. Tesla, once a European darling, has seen sales dip amid this backlash—highlighting how strongly political perception can shape market reality. According to reports, the company’s market cap suffered a significant hit as public sentiment shifted.
This trend isn’t driven by quality—it’s fueled by values. Consumers are sending a message: global brands are no longer insulated from geopolitics. Buying local or non-American isn’t just patriotic—it’s increasingly seen as a statement.
As this movement spreads, brands tied to American identity may need to rethink their international strategy. Global citizens are voting with their dollars—and the message is loud and clear.
