It's only been about a week. 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...

Although probably not as much as they would if made in the USA which he thinks is the end result of his tariffs, i.e. they'll start producing them there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the impact will be on our domestic producers, but I would imagine we don't cross over with the Chinese too much nowadays? Whatever happens, I'm not putting msg in the Sunday dinner.

Especially given the current plight of British Steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 51647 Posted yesterday at 12:52 Share Posted yesterday at 12:52 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 37459 Posted yesterday at 14:26 Share Posted yesterday at 14:26 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. But there’s an awful lot too who simply didn’t give a fuck what he did as long as it didn’t harm them and they paid less taxes. Tough shit * I know that’s a bit rich coming from someone from England btw. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 51647 Posted yesterday at 14:40 Share Posted yesterday at 14:40 aye all the tech bros that went to his inauguration are quite a bit worse off today than they were then. I mean still appallingly wealthy, but for blokes for whom more is all that matters, this will be killing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it will put off the ever so slightly more lucid right wing head bangers from voting for Trumpy candidates in the UK? Tbh that cunt Farage is suffering across that constituency of voters because he refuses to support Yaxley Lennon but he’s literally been a cheerleader for Trump for a decade..Then of course there are the receipts.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
