Trumps get richer off their illegal war profiteering while everyone else gets poorer. An estimated 10 million people may starve next year because of #Trump's #IranWar blockade on oil, fertilizer, & food through the #StraitOfHormuz while Donald threatens to bomb allies. Already high Trump inflation explodes with new #TrumpTariffTaxes & the tit for tat #tradeWars they cause. Not Great.

In a move that screams "anything you can do, I can do better," #Canada decides to play a game of economic chicken with Uncle Sam 🤦♂️. Because nothing says "diplomatic genius" like matching tariffs tit for tat, as if they were trading Pokémon cards instead of handling international relations 💵🎩.

The forewarned - but ignored until #September11th - attack on the World Trade Center, along with the costly ($3+ trillion) and deadly (3,000+ #American military deaths) #quagmire in #Iraq , as well as the 2008 Financial Crisis were ‘revenge of the C students.’ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/05/17/george-w-bush-c-students-president-graduation/27488795/
What does that make catastrophically slow response to the #COVID #pandemic , followed by the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt , #TradeWars and the #FelonsCrusade in #Iran ?

China's Ministry of Commerce has met with Alibaba, ByteDance and Z.ai about restricting overseas access to advanced domestic AI models. The move reflects a policy shift: Beijing now sees model containment as a national security question, even as U.S. firms increasingly adopt Chinese systems for cost reasons. https://www.implicator.ai/china-weighs-ai-model-curbs-as-u-s-firms-turn-to-deepseek/ #AI #TechPolicy #TradeWars

"US manufacturing ended 2025 with a thud, capping a rough year for the sector. To recap, manufacturers shed 63,000 jobs, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It wasn’t just labor that was hurting. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index clocked in at 47.9 for December, marking the 10th consecutive month of contraction as new orders were especially weak and costs at historically elevated levels.
Then there’s the Federal Reserve's Beige Book of regional economic conditions and surveys from the regional Fed banks, which have repeatedly documented cases of manufacturers delaying hiring and investment amid weak market conditions, rising costs, shrinking profit margins and persistent uncertainty. As for the “hard” data, manufacturing capacity and output, while incomplete, sagged through the Fall.
Overall, the evidence reveals a sector that’s stagnant at best, and a long way from the manufacturing renaissance President Donald Trump promised when he took office for a second time a year ago. No wonder administration officials have pivoted from predicting a factory boom in 2025 to now saying it will happen in 2026 and beyond."

Trump threatening tariffs like a pub bully, then backing down and calling it “strategy”.
Markets laugh. Allies panic. MAGA claps.
This isn’t leadership — it’s economic cosplay.

Trump escalates feud with Carney, threatening Canada with a 100% tariff over China trade deal
“If Carney ‘thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken.'”

"SOMEONE ALERT the Norwegian Nobel Committee: Against the odds, Donald Trump has succeeded in peacefully uniting the world.
Unfortunately, the world has been united against us.
This Pax (Ex) Americana era was illustrated Friday, as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney wrapped up a trip to China. This wasn’t just any old visit, either: It marked the first time a Canadian PM had been to the world’s second-largest economy since 2017—and based on the glamorous video Carney’s team released, it was a smashing success for Beijing.
Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled a “new strategic partnership” between the two countries. Among the key planks of this agreement, China will reduce tariffs on Canadian canola seed, peas, and lobsters. It will also allow visa-free travel for Canadians, who are apparently eager for new tourism destinations.1 Canada, in turn, will allow 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into its market at lower tariff rates.
Why is this a big deal? Because the U.S. government had been trying to contain China’s global economic influence. It had been trying to expand U.S. exports. And it had been working to prevent inexpensive Chinese EVs from blowing up the U.S. auto industry. But after a year of bullying, insulting, and threatening to invade our polite northern neighbor, we undermined all those objectives and drove a close friend into the arms of an adversary. After all, Trump declared just this week that Americans “don’t need” any products from Canada, even though the country is our second-largest trading partner."

"WHEN THE European Union increased tariffs on Chinese battery electric vehicles (EVs) in 2024, the logic was straightforward: raise prices and imports will fall. A study published by the Kiel Institute, a think-tank, estimated that higher levies would cause Chinese car exports to plunge by 25%. After more than a year, that forecast is wrong. According to China’s customs agency, car exports to Europe rose to nearly 1.2m in the 12 months to November, up by 26% from a year earlier (see chart 1). The data suggest that Europe’s failure to stem the rise of Chinese-made vehicles has less to do with weak tariffs than Chinese carmakers’ talent for steering around them.
Europe’s EV tariffs were designed to address what the European Commission calls the “unfair subsidisation” of Chinese producers by the state and restore a “level playing field”. But instead of imposing a uniform duty on all Chinese cars, the EU opted for a tailored approach. Extra tariffs were applied only to purely battery-powered vehicles, based on each carmaker’s estimated level of government support. On top of the bloc’s existing 10% import duty, BYD (China’s biggest producer of EVs) faced an additional 17%, Geely-owned brands 18.8% and SAIC 35.3%. Other Chinese carmakers were subject to tariffs of 20.7%. Hybrids were spared.
Rather than retreat, Chinese carmakers changed lanes, pivoting from EVs to hybrids, which combine electric motors with petrol engines. This shift is evident in the data. Whereas monthly Chinese EV sales to Europe have grown by 12% in the past year, exports of hybrids have surged by 155%, albeit from a low base (see chart 2). “It was only a matter of time before the Chinese manufacturers changed their strategy,” Beatrix Keim of Germany’s Centre for Automotive Research recently told Handelsblatt, a German newspaper. Hybrids are now the fastest-growing segment of China’s car exports..."
