Like the policies put in place-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

Like the policies put in place haven't already envoked enough termoil in an already volatile global environment /- do they think that will help get the country back on their feet in the face of political war?

I revert back to the days of slavery in America and now playing the high and righteous position /- The hypocrisy is just unbelievable

They try and preach after their past history?

It was within the last hundred years?

They turned the corner and the future was looking bright for a small period and then false ideology of the capilists has entrenched a far different view on what the future holds.

Don't wake the sleeping bear after centuries of being on the receiving end of pain and torment that they didn't incite and carry on like higher than god breaking the metrics of civilisation by manipulation.

Look in the mirror and think if that is indeed even longer possible /-

The problem with America is that the political puppets play this role of being caring and compassionate, while underlying having individuals agendas rather than acting in the best interests of their country and the rest of the world.

Just imagine if America had lost half of its sovereign land /- would they just sit down and take it on the chin?

This weak attempt to try and blame this thatand the other on China for their incompetence, preaching equality for all and a diabolical presence of the rainbow rights over powering normal peoples rights is a disgrace in itself. They have created this mess by agenda unknown, but if you read behind the lines and look at the United Nations agenda 2030 you may then further understand the hypocrisy.

Principles of the 10 Commandments written in the Bible for the benefit of all have all but been dissolved - and the warning written in scripture have largely been ignored so here we are here and now.

Who knows when - but underlying if you actually read books of history that aren't available on the internet because of they are 'misinformation' when based on actual events at that time, whilst blanketing the truth and freedom of speech as representing misinformation its flashing red, white and blue

On that note check out one of my favourite bands / 'Social Distortion' and the album 'White Light, White Heat, White Trash' 🌺

Trump has vowed to impose 60% tariffs on all Chinese imports.The European Union and Canada also are imposing new tariffs on Chinese EVs, the latter matching the 100% U.S. duties.PORT, MEDICAL RELIEFThe final tariff decision does provide some temporary relief for U.S. port operators who were facing a new 25% tariff on massive ship-to-shore cranes, an industry that China dominates with no U.S. producers.The duty would add millions of dollars to the cost of each crane. USTR said it will allow exclusions from the tariffs for any Chinese port cranes that were ordered prior to the May 14 initial tariff announcements, as long as they are delivered by May 14, 2026.USTR raised tariffs to 50% on medical face masks and surgical gloves, from an initially proposed 25%, but delayed their start to allow a shift to non-Chinese suppliers. The planned duty on Chinese syringes, which were in short supply during the COVID-19 pandemic, will immediately rise to 100% from a previously planned 50%, but USTR will allow a temporary exclusion for enteral syringes, used to feed infants, for a year.The agency also said it will consider requests for tariff exclusions for five Chinese industrial machinery categories, including those for machinery for purifying or filtering liquids, industrial robots and printing machinery.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":183,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":1861,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/349328173330744"}
