Kennedy was assassinated for less. This man has fucked with some higher powers’ money I’m surprised they haven’t ousted him for a canon slightly less loose, but I suppose he is quite the distraction.
Ah, so you know the motive of Kennedy's assassin(s)? Do tell, and provide evidence.

But Kennedy was a liberal. They don't assassinate their fellow conservatives.

China should tell us they'll drop their tariffs by 20% a month until gone barring further impulsive fuckery to dissuade further infantile American shenanigans.
As an American, someone's got to be the geopolitical adult in the room, and we don't qualify.
Why would China do anything that helps us pick ourselves up and onto our feet? This is the goal they and Russia have been working towards for decades.
Nah-uh. No blaming China or Russia on this one. The United States did this squarely to themselves with the world pleading otherwise. They inserted their own head in the vice and started spinning the handle.
Sure, it aligns with the communist block's benefit, but the US really needs to be held accountable for its own idiocy on this one. Its the first step in recovery.
it aligns with the communist block’s benefit
Neither Russia nor China are communist anymore. Russia is run by corrupt capitalists and has been since the 1980s, and the only thing Communist about China is the name of the totalitarian party that runs its government, which consists of a mix of state-funded and private capitalist enterprise.

but he isnt reversing any tariffs? he must be really obsessed with them.
He bas been, which is the wild part. He’s not saying “oh this was a bad idea, whoops” but he is adding all kinds of exceptions all the time as major corporations tell him how awful they are. Terrified of being seen as weak, so many tariffs will remain but it is really funny watching them scramble to pretend like they aren’t the absolute worst at their jobs.
Another method of control: exceptions to whoever has the biggest bribes, personal favors and enrichment. Tariffs for everyone else

I hope the repercussions land on Trump and his cronies, and but just on this particular show of global bullying around tariffs.
The thing is that real damage has already been done. Trust that was built over the course of - without exaggeration - most of a century has been squandered by imbecilic and ham-handed “move fast break things” tactics. Trust is very fickle, and the gain/loss dynamic is completely asymmetrical: it takes ages to build, but can be destroyed in an instant. And the recovery phase is always going to be slower than the initial build, and it generally doesn’t ever reach as high as was before the initial betrayal, because, you know, people remember things.
