#JDVance was asked whether he & #Trump were interested in “a strategic deal with #China, even maybe on #Taiwan.” Vance avoided giving an answer, apart from saying that there had been no discussions about Taiwan w/Beijing. Instead, Vance began spinning the tanking of the global #economy by the admin’s #TradeWars, saying “in a world of hypercomplicated supply chains,” the US “cannot be reliant on countries that don’t put our best interests at mind.”

While #Trump has been busy fantasizing about annexing #Canada, #MarkCarney has been putting our real alliances in motion—with the #EU, #UK, #Australia, #Singapore, and the Indo-Pacific powerhouses—who don’t demand fealty, lie about elections, or launch #TradeWars over tweets.

I suppose that's one way to curb our addiction to goods that were made cheaply in China? #Degrowth by #TradeWars? However, it WILL hurt American business, and a lot of the small ones won't survive. Will #Trump and fiends blame #GeorgeSoros when constituents of red states storm republicans' offices with torches and pitchforks? We'll see...

'It’s already in the cards': #Trump #impeachment urged by WSJ editorial board member

Tom Boggioni, April 12, 2025 8:17AM ET

It seems only slightly less likely now. It may even be desirable to restore America’s standing with creditors and trade partners.' "
