@realDonald Trump

Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set.

Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th. Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Bring it on.. China is not your European or Middle East satellite/vassal Country that you can bully or threaten with tariff. They said they're ready for any type of war against the US.
Meanwhile, Trump has extended TikTok operation in the US for 75 days after the initial 30 days expired. You can't threaten or bully China.

The War of the Superpowers: Bombers and Tariffs

Anyone who analyzes Trump’s tariffs through the lens of "cost of living" or "the stock market" is deluding themselves. The world is changing. The future of nations will not hinge on cost-of-living metrics or stock indices in Tel Aviv and New York but on military, industrial, and technological power. This is the war of the superpowers—the defining trend. There’s a direct link between the US, the European Union, China, and jihadists in the Middle East.


The studios, commentators, journalists, and politicians don’t grasp that the world is shifting. We’re entering a war of superpowers where every misstep or act of arrogance courts destruction. The ultimate aim is control and balance.

Now, an explanation of tariffs and the War of Nations:


1. America’s Core Conflict:
The supreme struggle is with China. Europe was meant to compete alongside the US as part of the democratic world but has failed against industrial China and military Russia. For the free world’s sake, industries must return to America and pro-American nations—like India and Israel—that value life.
The American economy thrives on technology, not industry. Europe has drained industries from the US, not wealth. America’s stock market is dominated by tech giants, while Europe leans on industry. If the American consumer suffers, Europe will collapse entirely.


2. Europe’s Dependency:
Britain, , and all of Europe lack a right to exist without the US. Without it, Europe would bow to Turkey, cower before Russia, and see the Mediterranean, the Straits of Gibraltar, and even the Vatican threatened by ISIS, just as the Houthis disrupted the Red Sea.

3. Tariffs as Strategy:
Tariffs are a geostrategic move. Just as Trump positioned bombers over Iran, he’s placing economic "bombers" over Europe’s economy.
Trump—a president hounded by the Deep State, survivor of an assassination attempt—faces a post-Biden world. Without urgent change, the free world will perish.


4. Economic Illusions:
The American economy is a bluff; Europe’s is an even bigger one. Birth rates are plummeting, debts are soaring. , Britain, and obsess over climate issues and stay silent as their debt-ridden economies falter, with Muslims now the largest minority. The "Free Palestine" slogan is propaganda that exposes the monstrous consequences of Europe’s open gates.

5. A New World Order:
America has no inherent right to its current global political and economic dominance. A new order must emerge. Is this America’s fault? Superpowers don’t dwell on guilt or apologies—they seek control.

Post-World War II for Europe stemmed from its role as a US proxy against the Soviet Union. But the Soviet Union is gone, and Russia poses neither an economic nor a direct political threat to the US. China is the true economic and political rival. Europe, meanwhile, is not just an industrial competitor but an economic liability. Alliances are always temporary in history. Why not bolster India and Israel instead?

6. Long-Term Vision:
Trump is "destroying the economy"? Hardly. He’s thinking 100 years ahead. The future lies with India, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, and Africa—not with nations debating climate and gender in parliament while committing slow suicide.


7. Warning to Israelis in Europe:
Return home now. You’re gambling with fire for cheap cherries. The EU is a debt-ridden economy that can’t meet industrial or security demands. , the EU’s number-two economy, could trigger a collapse of the EU and the euro if it fails. Living in the Czech Republic, Spain, Portugal, or Greece? You’re not safe. You’re tied to ’s fate. At best, assets and finances will be nationalized; at worst, anti-Semitism will erupt in the streets.
Unlike 2008, when bailed out Greece (a small player), no one will save . Poverty will hit hard, bringing wars, anti-Semitism, and Islamism. Assets will be seized, taxes will skyrocket, and conscription orders will follow.
There aren’t enough El Al planes to rescue everyone.


8. ISRAEL'S Moment:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is stepping into the most critical event for Israel since World War II—and the most significant for the free world in a century: t planning with the US president to shape a new world aligned with America’s vision. This is an unprecedented moment our history.

9. Netanyahu’s Objectives:
- Prevent a nuclear Iran.
- Define a zonal border with Turkey in Syria.
- Secure territorial changes in Judea and Samaria, Gaza, southern Lebanon, and parts of Syria.
- Forge a trade agreement with the US.
- Deepen military partnership.
- Finalize the Abraham Accords.

10. The Age of Great Powers:
We’re in an era of superpower warfare, allied with the most powerful nation in human history. ISRAEL is well-positioned but must remain patient. The stakes are high, and errors on this vast map are unforgivable.


Good luck to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. If his meeting with the US president succeeds, ISRAEL will enter a new, unprecedented era for the better.

China is not Zimbabwe.
Neither is Xi Jinping looking forward to future elections or public approval rating.
China will do whatever it can to fight.

Chinese economy will be hit but no Chinese will or can complain unlike Americans.
Trump(Sorry Americans) will lose very badly if this continues.
