The media coverage of this is so insane. This is completely the doing of the US, this isn’t two rivals going at it, China is literally just not folding like a lawn chair.

Why are we then subsidizing Argentina who are one of our main competitors for soybean farming?

the worst part or one of the worst parts is that this is probably all just saber rattling to roil markets and make some dumbass deal that gets us back to "shittier than before, but everyone can limp along"

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

@realDonaldTrump

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.

14 years ago, Obama killed an American citizen with no due process via drone strike because he was al-Queda. No one with actual power or influence gave a shit. It's been a long road to get here, but a real bipartisan success

furthermore, they expressly do not believe in democracy. not an exaggeration, their funders are fully in the technofeudalist/monarchist ideological swamp. their figurehead literally does not understand how our or any democracy works. they dont want to be in any kind of government with you at all

Alex Degen (Magic Serple 2025) @adactivity.bsky.social · 6h

I’m not saying this as some “gotcha” of right wing hypocrisy or w/e, just that it is their conception and vision of politics that they have honestly stated in their fear of it being done to them and their desire to do it to their enemies, and why some bipartisan govt with them cannot work

you can make a credible argument from their orders and statements -- act blue is a terrorist network, we are going to take apart these networks the way we do the cartels, we are summarily exploding any alleged cartel members -- that they've greenlit summary executions of anyone to the left of them
