China, stop shitting my pants. This has happened too many times. I wake up after a long night of drinking and my pants are full of your shit. It's disgusting and shameful.

With how many ineffective public statements Scott Bessent has made on cable news networks regarding Trump Tariffs I’m surprised he’s still in this role.

[-] miz@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago

it feels like when Bessent and Lutnick are on TV all of their statements are so badly calibrated for a general audience. maybe it's because when they appear the only viewer they are seeking to impress is Trump?

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

Maybe if they were capable of shame lol.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 9 points 2 days ago

I see it differently, that shame is what perpetuates the sunk cost ~~falling~~ fallacy. Not that anyone else who sees the shame is the matter, rather than not being able to face shame within the self.

Guys come on he’s just been jacking off in his room for the past six months, of course he isn’t up to speed on every tiny facet of the news

The idea that we need re industrialize america is a good one. Trump butchered the execution though

They floored the gas pedal but found out too late they were in reverse gear.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

he isnt wrong but the usa can literally do nothing about it so..... cry more i guess?

like what are they going to do? put the import taxes back into place and then china really clamps down and makes it even worse for us manufacturers? china holds all the cards here and the usa is telling them so

did the guardian change their headline since this was posted? feels like OPs headline is about a totally different article

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 days ago

I was referring to this quote in the article in the headline, which is buried towards the bottom

The US Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, said on Sunday: “What China is doing is they are holding back products that are essential for the industrial supply chains of India, of Europe. And that is not what a reliable partner does.”
