Why would China care?
Fat Ass is literally shoveling 80 years worth of soft power right into Chinas mouth. That’s worth 1000 tic toks or his stupid tariffs.
Fucking idiots.
I’m pretty sure this will involve having another Reich wing asshole running the US tictok so they can increase their propaganda reach. They don’t give a single fuck about Americans power elsewhere, they only care about ruling America.
I work with China. They need our business. One of my suppliers said they are 75% export.
China has the entire developing world, their own growing middle class, and europe for import/export. There is nothing america produces that is exclusive or the best cost, and with the us economy dying it’s not like china can sell to the us profitably for a while.
Exhaust parts. They are migrating to EV. We aren’t. My suppliers are panicking. At the same time the cost of labor and material is so low that now I’m moving Mexico parts to China. It’s still too costly here.
…you understand how tiny of an industry that is compared to nearly anything else china exports, right?
And the entire world is going towards evs, even developing countries since generators are more efficient over time than dealing with all the parts of a ice vehicle.
Some businesses might go under if they somehow can’t pivot their floors to produce something more profitable, but the entire ‘problem’ western firms have when competing with china is that they’re set up to easily pivot and expand production to different items.
This is playground level negotiation and I just don’t understand why those in the shadows who understand something of the complexity of the world are letting him run around with dog shit on a stick.
This is what he wants to use his supposed leverage for? Of course it is. Stupid fucking timeline.

Art of the deal 🥴
I wish I could be smart enough to pull off the kind of deals this dumb fuck does
You don’t need to be smart you need to have the support of the oligarchs who want a corporatacracy, and Putin, who wants the west to fall
Create a problem, sell the solution
Please do, so we can get some quality, cheap, electric cars
I knew Trump would ally with Russia over our actual allies, or maybe I should say historical allies, but China getting better treatment to surprised me. It was such a boogyman for his first term, now no one cares hes cozying up to them.
Elon has factories and business ties in China. Also, Xi is a fascist so
