Another episode of delusion: Donald Trump spins mad fantasy, regrets ‘saving’ China with tariffs

"We are governed by a lunatic."

You know what a knight in shining armor the president of America is, swooping in to save and solve disasters he created, just so he could do the swooping? Yeah, he has done it again.

Donald Trump has successfully ruined America’s relationship with long-term allies with his insulting remarks, boasts, and, of course, his damaging tariffs that he keeps applying and removing. Yep, that’s the president, and apparently his formula to achieve greatness for America. Perhaps the most visible example of his mood swings and their aftereffects has been the tariff drama with China. It escalated to the point where China raised tariffs on U.S. goods to 125% in April, signaling a firm stance against U.S. protectionism. In a bid to stabilize relations, both nations agreed to a 90-day mutual reduction of tariffs in May, with the U.S. decreasing tariffs to 30% and China to 10%.

However, President Trump later accused China of violating this truce, leading to renewed tensions and market volatility. China has publicly condemned him for his tariff policies, labeling them as “bullying” and warning him in advance of the risks of a global recession, something even American stock experts and economic experts have warned. The Chinese government has also expressed readiness to confront any form of conflict, including trade wars, asserting its determination to protect national interests.

But did Trump learn anything? NOPE.

Apparently, the man had previously “saved” China from a dire economic situation by negotiating a swift trade deal that stabilized China’s economy, but apparently they betrayed him by “totally violating” the of that deal. As usual, he failed to provide any concrete details.

So, what did Trump get out of feeling all self-important and playing the victim? He managed to piss off China even further as they hit out with a warning to America to “cease discriminatory restrictions against China,” “immediately correct its erroneous actions,” and and tly uphold the consensus reached at “the high-level talks in Geneva.”

What will happen next? Knowing Trump, he will probably throw a tantrum, cry wolf, and engage in re-escalation of trade tensions between the two nations.
