It's only been about a week. Expand Ah aye, the situation hasn't even fully played out yet. But, unless Trump backs down, any US business relying on Chinese imports is about to fall over. And the cost of consumer electronics, which the yanks fucking love, are about to go up a canny chunk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 51995 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Peston and McGovern's The Rest Is Money is a canny listen at the minute. They're doing daily shows updating on Trump's shitshow. Today's episode is called "Never Underestimate China". They're explaining just how much debt America has to refinance in the next year, and how much costlier that is getting day by day. I don't normally listen but signed up this week to get their take. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 37621 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 They’re a nation with lots of selfish, self important cunts*. There’s a lot a people who voted for Trump because they’re fully onboard cult members.
