They Drew First Blood!
Heard some fancy talk from this Treasury fella Bessent. Says China's makin' a big mistake messin' with Uncle Sam. Trade war huh? Reminds me of the jungle. You push a man too far and you gotta be ready to pay the price. China’s escalating? They think they're playin' with a pair of deuces? Seems like they ain't learned nothin' about 'livin' for nothin' or dyin' for somethin'. It's time to make 'em understand that 'nothing is over!'.
Losing Hand Losing Face!
Bessent's sayin' we don't lose much if China jacks up tariffs. We only export a fifth of what they send our way. Sounds like they're holdin' a real short stick. Like tryin' to win a war with a rusty knife. I've seen better odds chargin' a machine gun nest with a bowie. But this ain't just about numbers; it's about respect. And makin' sure they know who they're dealin' with.
Negotiate or Perish!
These 'reciprocal tariffs' he talks about? That's just fancy talk for showin' 'em who's boss. Bessent wants to drag 'em to the table bring jobs back home. Says Japan's already beggin' to talk. Good. Let 'em sweat. Let 'em know what it's like to stare down the barrel. This ain't personal it's business...war business!
The Melting Ice Cube of Justice!
Tariff walls? Sounds like buildin' a fortress. Bessent's dreamin' of jobs and money flowin' back into the US. 'Tariffs would be a melting ice cube,' he says. Well I say let it melt slow. Let 'em feel the chill. We need those jobs here where they belong. This ain’t about gettin’ even it’s about winning. 'To survive a war you gotta become war.'
Fight to the End? I've Heard That Before...
China's vowin' to 'fight to the end,' huh? I’ve heard that line before usually right before things go sideways for the other guy. Trump’s threatenin' a 50% charge if they don't back down. Now that's what I call a show of force. They can throw their tantrums and tariffs all they want but they're up against somethin' bigger than they understand. It's like they are trying to win a knife fight with bare hands. The U.S. ran a nearly $300 billion trade deficit with China last year. Now tell me who is winning?.
Everything is on the Table Including This Knife!
Bessent's throwin' everything on the table even the hidden stuff the 'nontariff barriers'. He says currency manipulation is harder to spot. Well I say nothing's hidden if you're lookin' hard enough. This ain't just about money; it's about fair play. And if they ain't playin' fair it's time to change the rules. Get ready folks 'cause this war ain't over. It's just gettin' started!
