Who's investing in America? 23 big companies that just promised billions under Trump

China Erupts: Furious Workers Riot As Factories Collapse Under Trump’s Tariffs



Quote:
Workers throughout China are flooding the streets in revolt as U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs slam the fragile Chinese export economy.

From the cramped streets of Sichuan in the southwest to the cold outskirts of Inner Mongolia in the northeast, furious workers are demanding back pay and protesting mass layoffs as factories shutter under pressure from Trump’s tariffs.

Outside a LED light manufacturing plant near Shanghai, thousands of unpaid workers shouted furiously at company managers over wages that haven’t been paid since January.
In central China’s Dao County, a similar scene unfolded outside a sporting goods store after the company abruptly shut down last week without paying employees.

In the northeast city of Tongliao, construction workers climbed onto rooftops and threatened to jump if their wages were not paid.

The wave of unrest follows a brutal plunge in China’s export orders, now at their lowest since the COVID lockdowns. Goldman Sachs estimates up to 16 million Chinese jobs could vanish as Trump’s tariffs bite deeper into the regime’s weak underbelly.

The fall of Communism for another country.

But also preventing it in the USA, if we remove the commie federal judges & politicians.


Not much we can do for Europe.

We have to save ourselves first before we can help others.


Time is ticking on the GDP / Debt issue too.


They're still raiding the USA Treasury through lawfare.

They need that money being stolen or they will fall also.

Watch the cabinet members clamber out of the clown car.

Laugh as they stumble, their shoe laces having been tied together by their sadistic "sponsor."

Marvel at the swings in the stock market and the dismantling of "normalcy."

Cry for the death of democracy in America.

Send out an APB: "Where the hell is the First Lady in this conflagration?"

Likely only about 15% of the population are against Trump:


The Communists make it seem like there are three times as many.

The corrupt federal judges & the red RINOs are a couple of reasons why there are about 15% and not lower.

Incredible. CNN’s Van Jones asks three Black Trump voters if they would vote for him again.

Just listen to their answers.

What a smack in the face to the Fake News.

Canada, and now Australia, Trump seems to be turning other elections left.

Quote:
Australia's centre-left Labor Party, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, is projected to win the federal election against the conservative opposition, according to early vote counting analysis by Sky News Australia and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

Key voter concerns during the campaign included cost-of-living pressures and anxieties surrounding former US President Donald Trump's policies.


Only the MAGA-tites don't know how much he is a sinking rock and political poison to anything but extremists and nutcases.

I read today that Trump said "I'd like to be pope."

Well good news Donnie, you're three quarters of the way there already.

Just substitute the "p" with a "d" and poof.

So the snow mexicans and the vegemite eaters cast their votes for a bunch of left wing losers.

Let's see in 2 years which country is doing the best (hint: it won't be Canada or Australia).
