Your world of no taxes leads very quickly to : no road networks, no free education, no legal system to protect rights, no law enforcement, no street lighting, no opportunities for those born without to improve their chances. In fact it sounds like the Wild Wild West except someone shot the sheriff. Only the strongest survive.

In a truly libertarian society with no court system or laws enforced by government, the rich would quickly realize unless they spend vast sums of money protecting themselves and their property the poor would quickly take it from them since they would outnumber them.

It would be very easy for countries to shore up their trade imbalance by purchasing US oil & LNG.
Considering the US has a trade surplus in energy, perhaps foreign countries should tariff those products.

More BS fear tactics. But people will never change. They’ll hoard anything if someone scares them enough.

China isn’t doing well. They’ll work out a deal.
Yeah they will come around, as soon as they have caused as much damage to weaken the US economy as Trump has allowed them to do, so they can undermine this administration and place themselves politically ahead of the US on the world stage as a more reliable and stronger partner. If you are China, Trump is the gift that just keeps giving, but you are right it will end. At some point the empty shelves, job sackings and sinking economy will force Trump to cave to China.
 
Since you are using the term "haters" you are already disrespecting.

Furthermore you want your opinion validated but invalidating others with this term.

Genuinely I would be happy you are right, but there is no bright future ahead. Once everything is disrupted without any replacement it will be harder to get back on track. You can't just undo the damage as fast as you did the damage. It's easy to dismantle things, it's hard to get them back on track.
This is not the end of Apple as we know it, far from it. Stock shares are going up again to 212.50 on the NASDAQ. Doom and gloom or sky is falling nonsense. Then again, some want Apple to fail.
 
Told you. Trump is winning. Mega COPE incoming from the Chinese apologists and legacy media doomsayers……

MAKE AMERICA GREATER AGAIN!!! ❤️

Ummm... 47 also exempted a bunch of stuff from his China tariffs first. Where's the win? China rolled back some retaliatory tariffs after 45 rolled back some tariffs. It was reported a week ago. It's primarily semiconductors.
