Trump thinks that tariffs can replace income tax. Let’s do the math: 🔹US individual income tax: $2 trillion 🔹US imports of goods: $3 trillion So, he needs a 70% tariff on ALL goods. 1. It means massive inflation! 2. Imports would plunge, meaning tariff revenue would also go down...

🧵 Why China Does Not Want War With the United States—Even If It Has Military Supremacy It is becoming increasingly clear that China now holds a decisive military edge in many areas over the United States. It has built a war machine optimized for network-centric warfare, outpacing the U.S. in electronic jamming, long-range missile precision, radar integration, and regional air dominance. It can deny access, blind satellites, and overwhelm fleets. But military supremacy doesn’t mean recklessness. China has the ability to win battles. But it has no interest in starting a war—because it understands the cost of victory might be national suicide. Let us begin with a basic truth. China is not self-sufficient when it comes to economic demand. Its internal market is still maturing. Who feeds the Chinese people economically? The answer is: the world—especially the rich, Western world. China’s total foreign trade in 2024 hit 43.85 trillion yuan (~US$6 trillion), with exports accounting for 25.45 trillion yuan (~US$3.47 trillion). This figure is often downplayed by critics who claim “exports only represent around 18–30% of China’s GDP.” But such figures miss the structural importance of exports: they power the coastal provinces, which in turn power the entire nation. The bulk of China’s industrial and export muscle is concentrated in six coastal provinces: 1. Guangdong (~US$888 billion exports) 2. Zhejiang (~US$532 billion) 3. Jiangsu (~US$518 billion) 4. Shandong (~US$272 billion) 5. Shanghai (~US$255 billion) 6. Fujian (~US$167 billion) Together, these provinces account for the majority of China's exports. They are also home to China’s largest ports—Shenzhen, Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao—which function as lifelines for both imports and exports. Once war breaks out, these ports will shut down—either by enemy blockade, missile strikes, or insurance collapse. That means factories stop, logistics freeze, and tens of millions are thrown into unemployment. Some believe China can pivot to trade with the Global South—BRICS, Belt and Road nations, Africa, Latin America. It’s a comforting illusion. Here’s the problem: China mainly imports resources from the Global South—oil, gas, lithium, bauxite, copper, iron ore—not finished goods. It uses these to manufacture high-end products. But who consumes these products? The West. In 2024: Exports to the United States totaled 3.73 trillion yuan (approx. 514 billion USD) Exports to the European Union: 3.68 trillion yuan (approx. 508 billion USD) Exports to Japan and South Korea: over 1.5 trillion yuan combined (approx. 207 billion USD) - ASEAN nations were the top partner bloc, but much of this was processing trade with end-markets in the West This adds up to nearly half of China's total exports going to Western or high-income markets. These are the only markets with the income level and consumer appetite to absorb the full output of Chinese industry. Remove them from the equation—and the entire chain collapses. Here’s how a war, or even a serious blockade, would detonate the economy: 1. Western demand disappears 2. China stops exporting to Europe, the U.S., Japan, South Korea. 3. China no longer needs to import energy, iron ore, or copper from BRICS and the Global South 4. Global South trade drastically drops—because there’s no downstream use 5. Coastal factories go silent 6. Wealth stops flowing inland 7. Domestic consumption drops 8. Local governments collapse under fiscal pressure 9. Unemployment skyrockets 10. Social unrest erupts That’s the chain reaction. It would a few months, not years. Despite all efforts to de-dollarize, to promote RMB trade, to build an alternative system—this is still a Western-centric global economy. Even in 2024, over 59% of Chinese exports were mechanical and electrical products—designed for Western consumers, not subsistence economies. 👇

Iran war, day 68 summary! Trump’s blockade fails, his tariffs are deemed illegal again so he doubled down on stupid! How did Trump fail again today? -Saudi and Kuwait blessed operation freedom 2.0 -Trump tried to physically reopen the SOH and failed. -He thought he could get away with striking an Iranian oil tanker. -found out the hard again that the U.S. is a paper tiger! 1. America fired at an Iranian oil tanker. 2. IRGC Navy responded by firing on 3 U.S. warships. They fled. 3. U.S. then strikes launch origin points in Qeshm and Bandar Abbas. 4. After Trump’s disaster operation, he claims the ceasefire is still on How did the US & UAE coordinate their attacks on Iran today? -Reliable sources: US terror destroyers were struck and possibly destroyed. -kosher media will cover this up. -Tehran’s air defence systems active! -Iranian State Media Reports Commercial Pier Struck Near Bandar Abbas -Bahman Qeshm pier, part of Qeshm Island at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, was struck -Iran took out 2 drones in Bandar Abbas. -attacks done by UAE -joint U.S-Emirati operation, with American logistics backing. -Israel immediately denied involvement -the kosher mafia lives in perpetual fear How else did Trump fail again today? -Fed trade court ruled Trump's 10% global tariffs are unlawful. -US Supreme Court previously ruled that trump tariffs are illegal. -Trump refunding tariff revenue -so much for those $2k divided cheques Did Trump finally learn a lesson? Rhetorical question -Trump threatened to raise tariffs on the EU if it does not drop tariffs to zero by July 4 How was Trump caught lying again today? -CIA: Iran retains 75 percent of its prewar inventories of mobile launchers -70% of its prewar stockpiles of missiles — Washington Post! -But Trump said Iran has maybe 18-19% of its missile inventory. -and somehow Iran was able to strike and damage 3 U.S. destroyers today Trump keeps lying about gas prices & bragging about the stock market, which only impacts about 10% of Americans. Remains completely out of touch.

NEW: Is a Never Trumper White House health advisor who is the brother of the Trump appointed US Surgeon General committing Tax fraud? I’m very concerned about the The White House’s decision to not only nominate Casey Means, MD as the US Surgeon General, but to also have her brother Calley Means, who has a long history as a Never Trumper, working in the position of health advisor in the Trump admin under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Did you know that Calley's company, TrueMed Anthony J Milio provides "letters of medical necessity", from a doctor, tantamount to a prescription, that allow people to purchase health and wellness products TAX-FREE through their HSAs/FSAs? However, there is one big problem. Sources have come to me today to say they believe the letters from True Med are allegedly auto-generated instantaneously, auto signed, and not actually reviewed by a doctor. They are legally required to be reviewed by a licensed doctor to receive a tax deduction. If these claims are true, and the letters are being auto generated as opposed to being reviewed by a doctor, that would be TAX FRAUD! There definitely needs to be an investigation to find out if True Med is autogenerating their “letters of medical necessity". This could create a massive scandal for the Trump admin. We don’t want the Trump admin being accused of having advisors involved in any tax scandals. Bad look! Hope someone investigates soon before the Means siblings tarnish the Trump admin. I hear someone is already working on a big expose… only a matter of time before it drops. Heard it’s going to be with a pretty big Consevative publication too.
