{quote} Seems like liberals are hell bent on making China an economic powerhouse while their citizens and cities crumble so they can save $15 on a new shiny toaster.

It is safe to recognise this as being written by someone who is not a liberal.

Who then seeks to attribute the loss and decay in the US (somewhat cathartic that is being recognised, I think - a good start) onto another country which happens to be not only communist but the second largest economy in the world by GDP.

Challenge - get outside and go shopping. Buy a toaster made in the USA and report back.

The EU is on the way to collapse with current policies and talk of losing America as an ally. So now they want to make China an enemy? How long with they last with China, America, and Russia as their enemy?

Imposing tariffs due to excessive trade imbalances. Who does that sound like ?

Some really colourful propaganda going on here.

Outside of the US, people in the real world are not so gullible. Mentioning anything from asbestos to concentration camps is a red flag that there are undiagnosed psychological issues in play.

Just because that Trump fellow can ignore the fundamental principle of most favoured nation doesn't mean that others may lower themselves so very low.

Dec 7, 2025 9:53am

This one also wants to say I am a human being. He wants to do what Trump did. There is no one to say, "What are you doing, you homosexual, you son of a bitch?" You are talking about China, it can wipe you and your country off the face of the earth in 1 minute. Go enjoy your ass, son of a bitch.

I don't have time to bitch at every idiot spouting off in the comments, so I'll just deliver a generic smack upside the head. The few it won't apply to, know who they are.

Statistically speaking, 95% of the commenters here are failed or failing retail traders. We all know that's the failure rate, give or take. But most of these commenters are sure they know what France or the EU needs. Can't run a trading account, but an international economy, no problem!

Point is, if you're damn sure you know exactly what European leadership should be doing, and have zero ability to see more than one side of any issue, your comments are worthless.

Dec 8, 2025 12:48am

Most of y'all are totally Trump-brained, no wonder you're all regretting your financial decisions. Calling the EU a concentration camp like bro what are you huffing, it's gotta be affecting your brain, you need help. Get somw help, read a book, talk to someone real.

It's a no brainer. The EU should continue building Chinas economy by outsourcing all their jobs to them. Seems like liberals are hell bent on making China an economic powerhouse while their citizens and cities crumble so they can save $15 on a new shiny toaster.

Who buys cheap chinese shit anymore anyway? It's bad for the environment on so many levels. It all fails prematurely. It's all riddled with asbestos and other carcinogenic junk to reduce costs and increase its overall "cheapness". Dumb companies that manufacture in china only have their manufacturing techniques and tech stolen so that cheap chinese shit competitors can enter the market with "cheap and nasty" clones of the same product. Nothing has changed in like forever really.

Who buys it? Um almost everyone. Amazon does huge business worldwide, more than most any company. Most everything they sell is Chinese and cheap. Any seller on Amazon will tell you that almost all consumers will choose the cheaper option regardless of where it’s made. I’m not saying that good or bad, those are just the facts.

Macron, Merz and the stooge Starmer
Are all half-man, the liar Vons der “lying” the crazy Russophobic Kaja Kallas and the Portuguese Indian Tony Costa are driving and destroying the EU from the inside out with the stupid policies that all countries have to follow. EU is currently a concentration camp run by unelected technocrats that dictate the rules to the elected officials to follow. It’s a big brother system with people being imprisoned in Germany and UK due to comments on X and Facebook. What a shitshow.

From @realDonaldTrump|Dec 7, 2025|5 comments
While the United States has other methods of charging TARIFFS against foreign countries, many of whom have, for YEARS, TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF OUR NATION, the current method of Tariffing before the United States Supreme Court is far more DIRECT, LESS CUMBERSOME, and MUCH FASTER, all ingredients necessary for A STRONG AND DECISIVE NATIONAL SECURITY RESULT. SPEED, POWER, AND CERTAINTY ARE, AT ALL TIMES, IMPORTANT FACTORS IN GETTING THE JOB DONE IN A LASTING AND VICTORIOUS MANNER. I have settled 8 Wars in 10 months because of the rights clearly given to the President of the United States. If countries didn’t think these rights existed, they would have said so, LOUD AND CLEAR! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
