China May Cave to Trump on Tariffs Soon

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/6/2025 4:54:28 PM

President Donald Trump's tough stance on China is already producing results, and the evidence suggests that Chairman Xi Jinping will have no choice but to back down. The Chinese economy, long propped up by unfair trade practices, is starting to crumble under the weight of Trump's strategic 145% tariffs on Chinese imports. Protests from furious factory workers in China demanding back pay are spreading across the country after President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports began impacting the communist nation’s economy. Unrest has been reported across the country as workers have taken to the streets protesting unpaid wages

It has been clear to me that Xi has no chance to do anything in this situation. They need us about 20 times as much as we need them. Specifically, they buy large quantities of US soybeans to feed their pigs, and if they don't buy soon, millions of pigs will starve, or start eating people food....either way, absolutely unsustainable for China.

No, no, no this can't possibly be true. The Left has said that Trump doesn't know what he is doing, that the tariffs are going to be a disaster. And yet, the world is queueing up to Trump's door to negotiate a fairer trade balance for America. Will it be enormous change? Of course not, that would disrupt the world economic balance. But is it going to noticeably shift in America's favor and set a new tone for trade. It will also bring manufacturing back to the US with good paying jobs and all the economic benefits associated with manufacturing. It will do what Trump said it would do and the Left will look like morons, again. And it didn't require any new laws or any extraordinary changes. Like the border solution, it just required a president that understood the problem, demanded real solutions, and was willing to fight the idiots that resist change that benefits America and her people, i.e the dems, media, and bloated bureaucracy.

The only thing that scares Xi more than Trump is the peasants in the streets. Why is the MSM not reporting this? Probably because its working.

Xi better be shoring up his allies in CCP. If they start having millions of laid off factory workers protesting in the streets and the word gets out to the world, he may end up out on his back side or, worse, with a bullet to the back of his head. He'll be the one the CCP blames, along with all the revolting peasants.

Xi can't afford to have millions of starving citizens in the streets. He should have thought this through in January.

We're constantly told that "MAGA" — a catch-all term for conservatives at this point — are the most dangerous threat to the United States of America, with constant references to January 6, yet even as right-leaning Americans prove to be the most peaceful of all, the left continues to demonstrate that it's willing to threaten, intimidate, and do violence if they can get away with it. Antifa is one of those organizations that consistently proves the left to be national antagonists, because they not only do all the foot-soldier work of the left, the left stays absolutely quiet about them, including in this instance.

Joe Biden's decision (or was it the autopen's decision?) to build an improvised pier to shuttle supplies to Gaza - effectively supplying Hamas - was a stupid idea to begin with. It was an attempt to curry favor with anti-Israel elements in the Democratic party, in American academia, and the international community by appearing to look even-handed; it was intended to succor innocent Gazans, although we saw time and again how aid intended for Gazans was confiscated by Hamas. Now we learn that more than 60 American service members were injured in the building of this boondoggle.

The Jeffrey Epstein saga may be years in the unfolding. There are hundreds of people involved, perps and victims; some very fancy folks have been implicated, and there is the matter of protecting the victims' privacy to take into account. But the public also has a right to know what happened, and the Epstein files should be released as soon as the victims' considerations are taken into account. In a press briefing published on C-SPAN, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the FBI is reviewing those files now.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is back on Capitol Hill Wednesday for more testimony before the House. Today, it's the Financial Services Committee, which includes Maxine Waters (D-CA). The stated purpose of Wednesday's hearing is "The Annual Testimony of the Secretary of the Treasury on the State of the International Financial System," which sounds rather formal and serious in nature. It doesn't seem that it would lend itself to the all-too-frequent displays of nastiness by congressional Democrats at anyone associated with the Trump administration, but that didn't stop Waters from turning the opportunity for a cordial exchange with Bessent into one that was decidedly mean-spirited on her part,

Back in 2017, Democrats aggressively and hyperbolically opposed the Trump-GOP tax reform law. They lied about many of its components, framing it as a nightmarish 'Armageddon' that would decimate federal revenues, lining the pockets of billionaires and corporate fat cats while harming virtually everyone else. In reality, the new tax law cut taxes across every single income group, benefiting tens of millions of families and individuals. It helped businesses large and small, resulting in hiring and investments that helped the US economy take off. Unemployment plunged to the lowest levels ever recorded for various demographic groups. Wages finally surged, after years of stagnation.

A federal judge in New York has become the second to rule against President Donald Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal immigrants. This comes after a Trump-appointed judge in Texas issued a similar ruling. US District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein issued a preliminary injunction against the use of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to remove Venezuelan migrants suspected of being gang members without due process. The judge found that Trump’s move exceeded his statutory authority. “The Presidential Proclamation, in mandating removal without due process, contradicts the AEA.” The court further argued that the government cannot deprive citizens or noncitizens of liberty without a proper hearing.

In his very first interview since handing his 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue housekeys to Donald Trump, the Old Man Winter of American politics, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. — a.k.a. “one of America’s most consequential presidents” — had an awful lot to say about America, Europe, democracy, and the future of humanity. And if you strained really hard, you could almost hear him. Often speaking in a shaky, muffled whisper, the ex-president met with BBC reporter Nick Robinson earlier today. The date coincided with the 80th anniversary of VE Day, but most of the conversation centered around Biden’s critique of the current president, Donald Trump. Spoiler: Biden ain’t a fan.

The media grimly reported the news, although they hastened to add that it won’t be easy to turn the old site into a modern prison. AP is representative of this approach to reporting:
