Dolar amerykański dla USA to tylko papier, oparty na przemocy! 😮
Orange man is so blind not to understand US is in debt to China and he attempt’s to bribe them with his ignorant tariff’s.
Biased channel.
Nothing but hate
Notice the evil ruling class owned western media talk about these tariff wars in a neutral or even excited way. The truth is basically everyone but the super rich are going to be hurt by this. The people who will be hurt the most are US consumers, especially middle class and poor people. Leave it to the ruling class media to say what they are told to say, if it is a good idea or not. These are the same people that are either neutral or warmongers about needless immoral wars, which are killing millions needlessly and further bankrupting america. These talking heads get paid by the evil ruling class, what they say and how they spin it has nothing to with journalism or helping you.
We need them to sell the treasury bonds. We do not want China owning America.
Once they sell them, what hole will they have over us then?
Trump is such an idiot!🤡🤣🤣🤣
Hey liberals please cry harder. You lost!!😂 BAHAHAHA BAHAHAHAHA BAHAHAHA
Those factories in China are going to go from producing electronics such as iPhones and laptops to weaponized drones and bombs during WW3. That’s what we did during WW2 when we had manufacturing infrastructure. This is not going to end well without peace.
America strong china weak😂
USA will learn what tariffs means from China. They will make the Burger face learn a lesson also China is more closer and more important to Europe than USA. $ to 50Cent😂😂😂
China won't back down.
Everybody don’t listen to this bullshit .
YUMPIN YIMINY IN THE WHITE HOUSE ?
They (China) probably don't need to sell. It's probably bad enough if they stop buying from now on.
Ahh the Hate for Trump helps me sleep at night because i know he's doing an amazing Job, gonna make America Great Again by just doing it and the hell with the consequences. True Leader🫡🫡🫡
Give it To india. We will Buy it.
Got to love how Google and Facebook push AntiAmerican Rhetoric. I wonder why? Lol
Well China has the option of war also! The US bonds are worthless because of the deficit! The dollar is not backed by anything but debt! The collapse of the dollar would be imminent because all the countries that are a part of BRICS would dump the dollar as well! Just my opinion🤔😌
Impeach Trump to save America. Or go into streeets to demonstrate against Trump all the way to the White House to remove Trump.
Manipulation
Trump is showing the World how he alone can control the stock markets and global economy. When American stock markets crash and unemployment rises Trump will tell all the ‘Red Hat Believers,’
“I Alone Can Fix It”
Beware Of Darkness
This is a stupid broadcast. Trump is not in panic mode. I don't think he's ever been in panic mode in his life. He makes intelligent decisions and reacts accordingly. You're all a bunch of f*cking idiots – where's your funding come from George Soros!!!!!!!!
Is anyone boycotting products from China?
Devalues the dollar.
utter BS. China ECONOMY is MELTING DOWN FAST. Incorporating the whole Economy the Spread is very positive for the US. MAGA
The GO playing Chinese are toying with tRump.
They have so many tools to use against perceived threats and compliant cooperative citizenry who do not trust anything Western.
What does tRump have?
They were selling off US treasury bonds well before Trump came in office
If China start selling its bonds, then the EU, UK, the rest of Asia (incl. NK), Australia & New Zealand will follow suit, which could destabilize the dollar enough to cause a major economic crisis within the US and a minor one outside it (as those who sold off most US bonds will diversify too, stabilizing their economies faster)
Are these small children 🤔 The whole world 🌎 is affected
Propaganda channel for the sheeps.
Strongest is not the way it should be say it’s there only move and the of china
Fake news…. China cant sell t bonds
Trump’s reciprocal tariffs were always going to trigger some kind of response. Now that China’s hit back, it’s like a global domino effect. You can’t mess with trade at that scale and not expect consequences
Let the markets panick!
this Trump is nuts, he just laid off 100s of millions of workers in U.S., Canada, Mexico, Europe, China and all of Asia.. someone needs to stop that man
USA needs the dollar to lose value in order to increase it's exports. China will not help USA to just do that by selling their bonds. If they do sell their bonds it will be to destroy to dollar not just lower it's value.
