How stupid is China for retaliating to Trumps tariffs?

This is like saying that because a dose of 2 aspirin pills are good, then a dose of 10 is even better. -
China Halts Critical Exports as Trade War Intensifies

I'm not sure that's the best analogy, but the sake of argument, let's assume it's a good thing to jump out the window. Why would you want to discourage others from doing the same? -

So it wasn't worth it fight the Nazis? -
Are you claiming that QE was responsible for the rise of inflation worldwide after the Covid pandemic? That's a pretty lonely position. And why is the dollar sinking in value? And it's a race to the bottom? Other fiat currencies are rising in relation to the dollar. If it's a race, the dollar is winning! So much winning. And right now inflation really isn't very much above the 2% target. But of course, if the dollar continues to devalue and tariffs are imposed that will obviously change.

Why am I not surprised that you believe American shouldn't have fought the Nazis? -
Can you come up with some counter-evidence of your own instead of just sharing your disbelief? Texas won't have any white people left? Because they will be driven out by hordes of angry Central and South Americans? I figured your expression of concern about changing the ethnic composition of America was really a fig leaf. Now I have confirmation.

Thanks for the rant. -
A new poll reveals that Americans are deeply divided on which groups of children should automatically receive United States citizenship at birth. The survey found that a slight majority, 51 percent of respondents, support the view that "all children born in the U.S. should automatically become citizens." https://www.newsweek.com/us-birthright-citizenship-poll-americans-split-2038730 Given that Ronald Reagan made it possible for undocumented aliens to become citizens I'd say that your reading of past American attitudes is seriously wrong. And maybe you think maintaining the ethnic composition of the United States is a legitimate concern but the history of American shows that the ethnic composition has always been changing.

Definitely anti-semitic the Democrats' fault..oh wait a minute... "Wisconsin teen plotted to kill Trump to start 'political revolution': documents Images of a three-page document titled "Accelerate the Collapse" called for the assassination of Trump, according to the report. Trump was specifically referenced in an excerpt from the document, which said "getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president" is "guaranteed to bring in some chaos. The so-called manifesto described creating "a political revolution in the United States" to "save the white race" from "Jewish controlled" lawmakers. Images of Adolf Hitler with the text "HAIL HITLER HAIL THE WHITE RACE HAIL VICTORY" were also found in the document. https://www.foxnews.com/us/wisconsin-teen-plotted-kill-trump-start-political-revolution-documents

In what way are amendments not part of the Constitution? If a contract is amended, is the new contract not a contract? Actually, this very issue was debated in Congress before it was passed. So there was no doubt that it was known who the amendment entailed and who it didn't. And by the way, the reason why there is a "jurisdiction thereof" exception is also answered as clearly referring to foreign diplomats' children born in the usa.

But maybe not so much for those who subsequently will. And for some people, maybe you among them, nothing is worth dying for. -
This situation with auto parts was not news to pretty much everyone except Trump.

These are all fair points you are making against China. But you offer nothing realistic about how to deal with this. Trump has alienated pretty much the rest of the world with his imposition of tariffs. Not really the way to win allies in a fight. -
Because the Trump administration is making it easier? Of course Trump has pronounced himself in favor of increasing the number of H1B visas. Which businesses have used to drive down wages for America workers. Let's see if the Trump administration proposes minimum restrictions on wage levels so that businesses will no longer use those visas undercut what American workers could earn in those professions. I haven't seen any evidence yet of that being proposed.

And then we could wait for them to reverse those terms or make them less stringent or more stringent.
