Today's Tiedrich rant: trade wars are easy to lose - especially when you're a dumbfuck



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/trade-wars-are-easy-to-lose-especially

Little Donny Fuckface is so very very sad right now. seems like the silly shit actually believed his own hype about trade wars being easy to win.

he thought all he had to do was slap some tariffs on China and they’d fold like a cheap paper fan. he figured President Xi would be on the phone in a hot second, begging for mercy — and that Donny would masterfully art-of-the-deal himself into a glorious victory.

but Donny keeps staring at that phone, and it keeps failing to ring — because not only does China not need us, they also happen to be bigly pissed off at us right now. and it’s all the fault of this guy. Couchfuck McGee — the Bilbo Baggins of Donny’s merry band of fuck-ups.



a few days ago, JD pulled his schlong out of the sectional long enough to make an appearance on Fox News and blurt the following boneheaded remark:
“We borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.”

somebody please point me to the chapter in Art of the Deal where it says you’re supposed to insult the shit out of people you’re trying to work out an agreement with, because I would fucking love to read it. I’ll bet it’s a humdinger.

So ... the photo above is a satirical depiction of JD Vance ... it's not really him of course. Please follow this link to the BBC article (with video) where Vance offends China by discussing "Chinese peasants."

There's a lot more on this rant, please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."
