Haha! "Nyah nyah, my tariff is bigger than your tariff!"

Just be thankful they haven't decided to call in our national debt - yet!

I've been watching out for Japan. If they sell off the US Treasuries they hold, we're f***ed.

Them and China can destroy us financially, and the idiots that worship Trump don’t have a fucking clue!

Unless these are wrong, China doesn't hold quite as much:

I’m thrilled SOMEBODY is finally standing up to him. Maybe this will finally get through to our cowardly complicit Congress. Are they really going to let dear leader start world war three??

Agreed. I'm also glad that Walz has finally mobilized their National Guard. Hopefully he'll actually deploy them if ICE keeps attacking peaceful protestors.

As for WWIII. I don't think it would come to that. Rather, we'd see a collapse of NATO as they forcefully give up Greenland.

Would the GOP let that happen? I don't put it past them. I think their mindset right now is not too different from crusaders in the early 1000s. They're cult fanatics. Reason is not a thing that occupies their crania.

Yes, we’re always waiting for them to see the light, but the truth is they’re republicans, and they’re just fine with project 2025.
