Presidential Election - Garbage vote Garbage into the White House

 

 Well, Biden now calls Trump supporters 'garbage'. Actually, voters of both camps are just 'garbage'. Every four years it is 'garbage in and garbage out' of the White House. Garbage voted their own garbage into the White House, right? It works perfectly fine!

Yesterday the USA Job statistics were painting a rosy job creation picture, just slightly below last month's 216,000. Today, a different picture telling us that job creation in October collapses and is the worst since Biden took over. A big adjustment is coming again.

While businesses are laying off staff and closing down outlets, how could job creation be said to be rosy? Who is hiring? Who are they trying to fool? USA is now more or less like the weathermen, looking at the sky and clutching at straws to paint a rosy picture. At least those weathermen have basis to forecast from satellite images that could still go wrong. The USA Government practically plucks statistics from the air. It does not matter, because voters never take notice anyway because they are after all just 'garbage'.

The Fed is now cutting interest rates this month and the next. These are desperate moves with Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell unable to conjure up more tricks to fool the masses. From this, we can see that the USA economy is tanking, but no fear because Trump is going to make America Great Again. Just give him four more years is all it takes.

USA's garbage politicians say one thing today, tomorrow they change their stance, just to pander to voters, who are basically just 'garbage' themselves.

Trump's stance on Ukraine and Middle East swings from one direction to the next. Would anyone dare to believe that he will be ending the two wars, after touting that he will still support Ukraine and Israel with aid? Who dares to bet on his rhetoric? He even said that he could end the Ukraine War in 24 hours, even eliciting ridicule from clown Zelenskyy.

Ending the Middle East war is even more distant and unlikely, with Trump having old baggage carried over from his first term of wanting to bomb Iran back to the stone age. Shall we see another love affair with Kim Jong Un on the cards as well? Trump also threatened to bomb North Korea back to the stone age at one stage. Supposing everyone goes back to the stone age, what good does that do to the USA?

Whatever happens, Trump is going to make China even greater again. Tariffs on Chinese goods are not going to make USA any greater overnight or even with his second four-year term, not least with the voters now having to pay more for their products from China. Has the USA even started producing consumer goods to flood the USA market, which the tariffs were supposed to encourage? Putting the cart before the horse is not going to make the reality of moving forward come true. China will retaliate and China has control of very essential stuff to cripple the USA.

If even China goes back to the stone age, what good does it do to the USA.

With no China to buy USA agricultural products, what are USA farmers going to do for a living? Do a little backyard gardening? With no China to buy USA livestock like pork or chicken, what are USA livestock farmers going to do for a living? Rear a few pigs and chickens for self-consumption?

USA farmers are now between a rock and a hard place, not knowing what to grow or what to rear. China is hitting the USA where it hurts the most. Did I still hear trade wars are easy to win. Now the mantra being chanted by Trump is 'tariffs are easy to win'. Well, let us see.

Brazil, Argentina and Russia are increasing their production of agricultural products with the Chinese market on their radar. The Chinese migration towards these markets is detrimental to the USA farmers. And not just the farmers will be affected. There will be detrimental effects on other things like warehousing logistics, agricultural equipment (some already closing outlets and shifting to South America) not to mention the loss of economies of scale which will make those grains more expensive to produce even for home consumption.

The USA loves trade wars and trade wars are what it will get. It is a trade war not just about China, but about new markets competing with USA farmers for the Chinese market. I guess Trump did not see the full picture.
