Tariffs + Mass Deportation = Stupidity, not to mention economic suicide.
While MAGA are circle jerking at the thought of being cruel to immigrants, China 🇨🇳 is sinking hundreds of billions of dollars into Mexico and specifically into making the Port of Manzanillo a super port providing China with a trading shortcut to the Americas.
Now Trump has pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord, China will fill the gap for green energy projects and products. So while Trump is bringing back stagecoach manufacturing and cowboy hat making, China is pioneering new battery technology and building the world’s first thorium-based nuclear reactor.
The best social media algorithm ever created, was not created by an American company. It was created by ByteDance. Open AI is seen as a global leader, but I’ve been playing with Deepseek, one of China’s AI models today and it almost outperforms the new 01 reasoning model from OpenAI, which I work with every day. Analysts assess that China likely stands 10 to 15 years ahead of the United States in its ability to deploy fourth-generation nuclear reactors at scale.
In 2024 it built the first 120km highway using only AI robots. Chinese infrastructure is light years ahead of the US, with high speed rail, shipping ports and high speed internet. To be frank, many Chinese cities make US cities look almost third world. Beyond China, they control mineral and precious metal resources in return for investment in African nations. That’s before we talk about huge investments in Mexico and the Belt and Road initiative. A signed agreement with 150 countries, designed to connect Asia with Africa and Europe via land and maritime networks with the aim of improving regional integration, increasing trade and stimulating economic growth.
They are also a key player in the BRICS project. If Trump believes he has significant leverage over China, he’s delusional. China knows how to play the long game and they know time is Trump’s greatest enemy.
Chinese national debt stands at around $18.5 trillion (around 85% of GDP). In comparison, the US national debt of $36.2 trillion (123.1% of GDP). That’s DOUBLE the Chinese debt. The sole reason the US can sustain this debt level, is because the dollar is the world’s reserve currency, so it can print money, but it’s a ‘fur coat and no knickers’ scenario.
China has half the national debt that America is forced to sustain, but unlike the US, it is the manufacturing capital of the world, with world beating infrastructure. Does it have human rights issues? Absolutely, but the US is now coming up closely on the outside rails.
Biden was successfully rebuilding the economy, despite Trump’s false narrative and Republicans blocking his way at every twist and turn. Now however, Trump will explode the deficit to extend his failed tax cuts from 2017. It’s a recipe for absolute economic disaster.
Trump’s biggest asset is the ignorance of half the US population. Republican states have left their children uneducated and workers needing to work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet. They have become willing economic slaves to their abusers. In return, Trump gave them permission to hate immigrants, homosexuals and to abuse women and they love it!
When the curtain comes down on the political theatre and all the lies come home to roost. You’ve deported all the immigrants and broke the bank, who are you going to blame then? He’s going to need every immigrant he can get his hands on just to begin to compete, but like all rich white men, he’s blinded by racism and refuses to accept reality.
Believe me when I say, the wheels are going to come off the bus big time.
Trump just shortened China’s path to being Mexico’s and other countries’ favorite trading partner. Infrastructure week, a MAGA fever dream that never happened during Mango’s first term, is being implemented at full speed by China while Dementia Donold scores points with his base.
