CNN released exclusive 2024 audio where Trump claims he warned Putin he’d bomb Moscow if Russia invaded Ukraine. According to Trump, Putin took the threat only β€œ10% seriously.” He reportedly gave a similar warning to Xi Jinping about striking Beijing if China attacked Taiwan.

Arthur Harris:
"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them."

Trump should think twice, even if it's only a bluff.

TARIFFS ARE NOT PROFITS FOR CITIZENS.
THEY JUST MAKE IMPORTED GOODS MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS.
TARIFFS ARE A TAX ON YOU, NOT ON OTHER COUNTRIES.

Are you confusing tariffs with profit?

Tariffs just make imported goods more expensive for Americans.

This isn’t a smart deal β€” it’s a self-inflicted cost.

Is it really a free economy to unilaterally impose tariffs on allies around the world?
What happens if they retaliate?
Even if factories move to the U.S., who will they export to when America isolates itself?

Globalization was an invisible World War I β€” an economic war.
And having lost it, we may now be entering the 1930s all over again: a time of revenge and delusion.

So we agree tariffs are a failure.
The only difference is, I said it before it happened.
You’re saying it after.
Prediction is easy when damage is done.

Why did so many Republican voters choose to become pawns for the richest 1%?
Is the GOP now just a "Party of Pawns for the Rich"?

β€œMedicare for All? That’s socialism.”
β€œUniversal childcare? That’s socialism.”

Meanwhile: $1 trillion for the rich? β€œThat’s just how it is.”

We need to realize: we’re not citizens. We’re chess pieces.
Capitalism became a game β€” and we’re just pawns.

It seems that Americans β€” across ideologies β€” believe they must always adjust themselves to the measuring stick of capitalism,
even when it hurts them.

Capitalism was meant to be a tool.
Now it’s a ruler β€” and the people get measured, not served.

Trump's tariff threat and demand for factory relocation isn't capitalism β€” it's closer to economic nationalism, or even soft national socialism.
Forcing allies to serve your domestic labor agenda isn't free trade. It's coercive industrial policy.

Gung Ho (film) - Wikipedia

Tariffs can’t fix culture.
Watch Gung Ho (1986).
Japan saves a U.S. factory. Pride almost kills it.

You want jobs? Start with humility.

The 25% tariff excludes cars and steel,
but still hurts Americans. Here's how:
Electronics & semiconductors: Higher costs for U.S. tech and EV makers
Medical devices: Hospitals and patients will pay more
Cameras & optics: Scientists, creators, and hobbyists lose out

πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ Japan has 0% auto tariffs.
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ The U.S. will impose 25% tariffs on almost everything else from Japan β€” except cars and steel β€” starting August 1.

This isn’t a β€œdeal.”
It’s coercion.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Americans love Japanese kei trucks β€” affordable, efficient, and perfect for small jobs.

But thanks to the outdated β€œChicken Tax,” a 25% tariff still blocks their full import.

So much for β€œfree market.”

This isn’t protecting America. It’s punishing American consumers.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ U.S. auto tariffs:

2.5% for cars

25% for trucks and pickups (e.g. kei trucks)

Japan has long opened its market.

You're right to be cautious β€” the 25% tariff applies to light trucks, not regular passenger cars.
For passenger cars, the U.S. rate is 2.5%.
Japan's rate is still 0% across the board.
