No it's an investment in Americas security, independence, self sufficiency as well as establishing fairer trade, which will benefit everyone by reducing the export of the dollar, that means sowing inflation.

China grows by hording the US dollar through unfair trade practices, intellectual theft, it's their goal to rule the world, they are OUR FUCKING ENEMY !.... no not the working masses, but the Chinese government wants to be the dominant global superpower and they will exert influence any way they wish if they can achieve dominance.

Don't think the Chinese fentanyl can't be stopped by the Chinese government, or at least drastically reduced, it's killing young Americans.
This needs to happen, sorry if you can't/won't try to understand it.

p.s. COVID came out of China, then China withheld PPE and yes COVID changed the outcome of our election, Biden won because of COVID which allowed manipulation of the ballot process, State voting laws were changed without a vote allowing ballot harvesting and more which was illegal in those swing States, COVID crashed Trumps EXCELLENT ECONOMY, I believe it was done on purpose.

Chinese workers are born, marry, live and die at huge factories.

Your ignorance is astounding, everything you said is wrong.

Chinese cities are struggling, stores are closing, factories are shut down, merchandise is held up, the Chinese workers are broke and protesting.

Soon we could see some temporary shortages here, but it will be much worse for China, they NEED our business, it's some 20% of their economy.

Yes there is a tariff on Chinese made electronics, you don't see a price increase yet because of something called warehouses, they are big buildings that hold lots of stuff.

China and the US can survive without any trade, but there will be an adjustment period, however I expect a deal will be made.... if not then we will have an adjustment period, but resellers are already working on replacement suppliers from non-Chinese sources, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, ect....

It will NOT destroy the US economy, how you can be so stupid as to think it wouldn't effect China at all, yet would destroy the US economy, the US economy is 27.7 Trillion USD GDP and China's is 17.7 Trillion USD GDP......... you're ignorance is truly astounding.

If you think other places can just pick up and replace all we get from China, your ignorance is astounding. We can't just get anything we want from other countries. If they aren't already producing them it will take time to get them to scale. No one is doing that already.

What part of " there are also many other sources other than China " didn't you understand ?
Are you really this ignorant or just behaving like a petulant child for your own entertainment ?

Mountain Pass produces 15% of the WORLDS rare earth minerals..... not 1% and they have just invested heavily in increasing output which was 45,000 metric tons, US reserves are 1.9 MILLION metric tons.

Ukraine signed Trumps minerals deal.

Brazil, Australia, Vietnam all have significant rare earth mineral reserves, we don't need China, China needs us.

Brazil has enormous rare earth reserves and is already stepping up.

It isn't enough to be able to mine rare earths. They also need to be refined. That is the main problem here. No one is doing that and it will take years to get it started.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY! The US and the UK have reached a future outline for an understanding on trade...

So, still no deal really...

Meanwhile maga is jumping up and down crying "thank god for trump" as if this ONE future outline for an understanding on trade with a country that only imports to the us 3% of our imports, which in reality is next to nothing!

Thank god for trump???

Trump has been losing in the courts big time. He has been stopped more than 200 times so far. Don't expect this losing streak to stop.

BULLSHIT It's already been fast tracked !
That and we can still buy from other producers in the meantime and we do have a stockpile, plus... recycling.

Maybe if you liberal democrats didn't threaten to pack the court or insist on running that jerky cunt Harris, always a DEI diversity hire ...... IDIOTS !
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep running jerky cunts, you are 0 for 2 LMFAO

Hey paul, Tell me about those slanted polls again, you know, the polls that put Harris so far ahead, just like the Hillary is bound to win polls..... Your polls SUCK !

Yes Thank GOD for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DONALD J. TRUMP, I am thrilled he defeated that horrible cackling moron jerky cunt Harris, THANK FREAKING GOD !!!!!!

p.s. Gee you don't suppose the UK producer would be willing to ramp production way up ?

Now cry me a river you liberal crybabies, Trump is saving our country with or without you.

Don't expect anything DEI to get any funding.

What exqactle has been fast tracked? It sure isn't the refinement of of rare earth minerals. So, it must be something else. The U.K. deal that Trump CLAIMED to make was nonsense today. We have a trade surpluss with them and still Trump has insisted on keeping a 10% tariff on them. Even his team said that they have a concept of a deal going. That sounds familiar?

From failure to major failure, trump just keeps losing even as he claims MAJOR VICTORIES!

As always, it's just smoke and mirrors/lies, and the brain dead maga's eat it up and ask for more...

LOOK INTO IT AND YOU WILL SEE EVERYTHING SHE SAYS IS CORRECT! I DARE YOU...

But of course you won't do that and just call it "fake news" as you continue to eat the trump lies like a starving dog...

1/6 was just another mostly peaceful protest, until some agent provocateurs in the crowd ginned up the fringe so liberals could make a mountain out of a molehill and boy they sure did.

What I want to know is where the hell are the Epstein files ?


------------------------------------------------

Oh this is funny, Hunter Biden is crying broke because he can't access any of his pilfered offshore funds with Trumps alphabet agencies watching, lol..... Funny nobody want's to buy Hunter Biden's " Art " anymore, LOL.

What a load of manure, I watched it ALL live myself! from trump and his cronies giving the speeches that fired up the mob, and trump pointing them at the capital and telling them "I will be there with you" (a lie), I watched as they confronted police trying to keep them out of the closed area around the capital, they worked themselves into a violent rage and it all BLEW UP INTO A VIOLENT INSURRECTION BREAKING DOWN BARRICADES AND ATTACKING THE POLICE TRYING TO DO THEIR JOB!

Your attempt at trying to whitewash what happened on that day is REPUGNANT AND DISGUSTING TO SAY THE LEAST!

And to think, you think of yourself as an American??? History will look at maga in a similar light as the beginnings of the Third Reich trying to start in America, Thank God trump, at the age of nearly 80, is running out of steam and will be nothing but a sad old man soon who will die before too long and the world will be better off of it!

I shudder to think if he would have started in his 50s?! America could have been the EVIL EMPIRE the world unites to defeat, much like Germany was back when...

I'm a proud Republican and maga IS NOT REPUBLICAN IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM!

Regan, Bush, McCain, Romney, Cheney, those are the real Republicans!!! trump is nothing but a slick-talking, skidmark stain on the inside of a 5-year-old's underwear...


Now I'll let you get back to your whitewashing undisturbed, just know that in the end it will fail because in this new connected world EVERYONE WAS WATCHING IT LIVE AROUND THE GLOBE AND THE WORLD KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY!

The only person killed on 1/6 was Ashley Babbitt, killed while she was trying to stop protesters from breaking down doors, killed by a Capital Hill cop's bullet.
Liberals try to say a cop was killed on 1/6, NOT TRUE, a cop died days later from a heart attack at home.

Trump said " Go protest peacefully and patriotically " and yes people were very irate about the election being stolen and yes some of the protesters got worked up, but certainly not all of them and I dam sure wasn't there, I didn't take part in any of it, I never even bought a MAGA hat, I never considered myself MAGA in Trumps 1st term, but I do like the concept of making America great again and the more I listened to liberal democrats talk about trampling our rights, hypocrite liberal democrats talking about packing the court, the more I feel like I am MAGA..... Today, sure I'm MAGA, but I am no Nazi.

DEI discriminates based on race, that is racism.
Illegal immigrants broke our laws, they deserve to be deported.
This does NOT make me a Nazi, you seem to take an absolutist view, either I see it your way or I'm a Nazi..... well that makes you the asshole, not me !

Liberals want to force their ideals on me, deny my rights, flood my country with illegal invaders, pack the court, woke liberal democrats are the Nazis !
Do you even understand the level of political lawfare perpetrated against President Trump, two sham impeachments, the fake Russia scandal.
And democrats wanted to control all 3 branches of government, yet you call MAGA Nazis..... wow, you're deluded.

I suppose you supported BLM when they burned and looted, attacked people in the streets ?

You still have to refine to rare earth minerals. That won't happen soon or easily.
