Resisting or breaking the law?

Yup. He was getting deported. Republicans say they just sent him to the wrong country because they are stupid. So that means no Republican can get in trouble. Because "I'm too stupid to get in trouble" is still a god damn thing.

China was the first country to ground them..

On Wednesday, a spokesperson for China's Commerce Ministry dismissed the additional tariff hike, telling reporters that the move "fully exposes the fact that the United States has become irrational in instrumentalizing and weaponizing tariffs."

"China has repeatedly stated its position on the unilateral tariffs imposed by the United States, and it has ignored the U.S.'s meaningless tariff numbers game," the commerce official said.

He said beijing would take "countermeasures" and see the trade war "through to the very end" if Washington continued to "infringe on China's rights and interests."

China has shrugged off the latest U.S. tariff hike, dismissing the Trump administration's threats as a "meaningless tariff numbers game."

No. 77,000,000 Republicans wouldn't even be able to figure out the instruction manual anyway.

Why buy or collect personal data on Americans when they will just let you take it for free? Republicans are having their fire sale so they can speed run Project 2025.

Yes that was the whole point of the November election. Not enough people sent their message but 77,000,000 Republicans did.

It's what happens when someone tells Trump that China shut off supplies used to make USA's consumer economy functional.

This week, China imposed more export controls on rare earths, which include materials used in high-tech products, aerospace manufacturing, and the defense sector.

And then Trump,

executive order signed by President Donald Trump that launched an investigation into the "national security risks posed by U.S. reliance on imported processed critical minerals and their derivative products."

"There is no winner in tariff wars and trade wars, and China does not want to fight, but it is by no means afraid to fight."

It is a war.

It's a war.

His importance was underscored in a leaked text chain on Signal disclosed by The Atlantic magazine last month. In it, Hegseth named Caldwell as the best staff point of contact for the National Security Council as it prepared for the launch of strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.

The order came after China unveiled retaliatory tariffs of 125% on American goods this past weekend, the people said. Those levies on their own would have more than doubled the cost of US-made aircraft and parts, making it impractical for Chinese airlines to accept Boeing planes.

Fossil fuel deposits were discovered off shore shortly before this all started. Waterfront real estate is just a bonus.

This stupidity is because of their previous stupidity. They shut down coal powered furnaces before they had a not coal powered furnace up and running.

And just like last time Trump will give them money to not talk about it.

RTFA. Your comment is what China said. At this level trade basically stops. That's the point.

“The bottom line is that the world runs on imported fossil fuels under the umbrella of the Pax Americana,” said Kingsmill Bond, an energy analyst at Ember, a London-based energy think tank. “As Trump destabilizes that, then people will look to their own domestic energy sources, which in most cases means renewables and electrification.”

The new order that Bond is describing would push the United States to the side. While this view is optimistic about global growth of renewables, heat pumps and EVs, it also indicates a slower and dirtier path for the U.S.

Bond argues that since most countries do not have plentiful oil and gas within their borders, they need to import it and have confidence in the stability of supply and pricing. As that confidence erodes, they will look to alternatives.

Most countries do not have substantial solar panel, wind turbine or battery production, so reliance on those resources would also require imports. But the difference compared to fossil fuels is that a shipment of solar panels, for example, can provide benefits for 30 years. The buyer isn’t signing up for dependence on daily shipments of fuel.

"No one could have predicted this". /s

So what? China fixed climate change and is willing to sell affordable solar and batteries and EVs to the world.

USA did not do that. China did.
