You people are stupid.
Trump isnt begging for anything. We hold all the cards, as we have in the U.S. for some time. We just had spineless liberals who cater to the world instead of their own nation.
It's 2025, we dont do that "hate America" thing anymore progressives.

Boaz is correct.
China needs us way more than we need them. They have to feed their population and they need someone to buy the things they make. Without the US consumer economy their economy would implode.

The devil is always in the details, which neither you nor Trump pay much attention to, emphasis mine:

When economist Justin Wolfers commented: "I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover"in just a few short days"that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors." Dr. Soumya Rangarajan noted that "a basic medicine we use 1000x per day in the hospital, heparin, is also dependent on China, and people will die without it." As Sabrina Malhi of the Washington Post explained, about 12 million people hospitalized in the U.S. need heparin every year, and it is only one of the many medications that will be affected by Trump's tariffs on goods from China.

BTW, heparin is used in hospitals when patients have surgery, but it is also used after people who have had major surgery leave the hospital:

Heparin is used to prevent or treat certain blood vessel, heart, and lung conditions. Heparin is also used to prevent blood clotting during open-heart surgery, bypass surgery, kidney dialysis, and blood transfusions. It is used in low doses to prevent the formation of blood clots in certain patients, especially those who must have certain types of surgery or who must remain in bed for a long time.

You stupid libs really just don't get it. Those people are weak.

Ask Boaz if you have any questions.

I do think part of this administrations goal is to kill off a lot of people who they consider weak, i.e., people who are sick, disabled, elderly.

Of course, Trump himself would be dead by now if science and medicine hadn't saved him, but how does Trump respond to the medical miracle that saved him? With gratitude and the desire to help others? Nah:

Trump Just Fired the Doctor Who Saved His Life

At the height of the pandemic, Trump got COVID. He was airlifted to Walter Reed Medical Center. Dr. Peter Stein approved giving Trump monoclonal antibodies. Trump recovered. He called this treatment a "miracle."

Yesterday, Trump fired Dr. Peter Stein. He also fired the people tracking Bird Flu and all kind of other diseases. If there's another pandemic, and Trump catches whatever it is, there will be no one to save him. On a more positive note, the money the government saves by doing this means that instead of 342 billion dollars, Elon Musk will soon have 342.1 billion dollars.
