I still don’t understand what’s the goal of this shitstorm alienating allies and destroying the economy with crazy uncertainty.

Do you not realize that one country learns how to make useful things like blouses, computers, phones, shoes, and the other country only knows how to make fake money?

What happens when the country that makes everything else realizes they can also make up fake money just as easily as anyone else?

Why do you keep saying "fake money"? China can use that fake money to buy real things from anyone in the world.

It's improbable that Trump has Klinefelters because people with Klinefelters tend to be infertile. It's more likely that he got forged results from a shady clinic.
