How stupid is China for retaliating to Trumps tariffs?
I would agree with this. Most foreigners seem to forget that not only is China facing serious real estate problems, but also graduates are unable to find work in their fields. Most families need both to work 2 full time jobs to support their bills and family. There was such a decline in child births that China was actually offering money to families to make more than one baby. The country is facing several serious crises. Xi is paranoid of most of the upper echelon that are in Government leading him to dismiss so many from top positions in the government. -

How stupid is China for retaliating to Trumps tariffs?
China holds many cards, like chemicals vital to the US and a lot of US debt. China controls 90% of EV battery grade graphite. Most of the antimony, germanium, gallium and tungsten. supplies, as well as controlling key active pharmaceutical ingredients. Plus, President Xi wears a suit. -

Karoline Leavitt: The Young Firebrand Behind Trump’s Messaging Revival
Karoline Leavitt: The Young Firebrand Behind Trump’s Messaging Revival At just 27 years old, Karoline Leavitt has emerged as one of the most powerful voices in Washington, serving as Donald Trump’s White House press secretary with a combination of poise, zeal, and strategic ferocity. Equal parts cheerleader and attack dog, Leavitt commands the briefing room with confidence and fluency in Trump’s language, reflecting his combative approach to the media and public discourse. Standing beside older administration officials, including the Treasury Secretary, Leavitt has often taken charge in defending controversial policy decisions, such as a recent reversal on tariffs. “Many of you in the media clearly missed The Art of the Deal,” she told reporters. “You clearly failed to see what President Trump is doing here.” When reporters pushed back, suggesting the move was a retreat amid market panic, she swiftly countered, “We finally have a president here at the White House who is playing the long game.” Despite her youth, Leavitt presents herself with authority on matters ranging from foreign policy to immigration. When questioned about Chinese military actions around Taiwan, she responded with a detailed statement, noting that “the president is emphasising the importance of maintaining peace in the Taiwan Strait.” She proudly cited, “That is directly from the national security adviser just for you, Steve Holland of Reuters.” Leavitt's rise reflects a shift in Trump’s communications strategy—away from the often unstable tenures of past press secretaries. From Sean Spicer’s false claims about inauguration crowd sizes to Anthony Scaramucci’s expletive-laced downfall after just 11 days, the role has historically been fraught. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kayleigh McEnany brought a more combative tone, with McEnany once pledging never to lie, only to later be accused of distorting facts during the 2020 election aftermath. Leavitt, once McEnany’s assistant, has learned from them all. Her own background is a blend of ambition and conservative values. Raised in Atkinson, New Hampshire, where her father ran a used car dealership, she told the Eagle-Tribune, “He reminds me of President Trump.” A former softball scholar at Saint Anselm College, she cut her political teeth writing conservative columns and interning at the White House. After graduation, she quickly climbed the ranks, eventually running for Congress in 2022. Though she lost the general election, she emerged with thicker skin—and a husband, Nicholas Riccio, a man in his late fifties whom she met during her campaign. “Yes! Of course! It’s an atypical love story,” she told Megyn Kelly. Leavitt returned to politics with renewed vigor, assuming the press secretary role after Trump’s re-election. Her first day in the briefing room made waves—not just for her bold crimson outfit and prominent cross necklace, but for her pledge to “provide the truth” while accusing media outlets of spreading lies. Her confrontational stance extended to even minor disputes, such as insisting that the Gulf of Mexico be called the “Gulf of America.” When questioned, she snapped, “It is a fact that the body of water off the coast of Louisiana is called the Gulf of America.” As Trump’s administration invites podcasters and streaming personalities into the press corps, Leavitt has embraced the evolving media landscape. Friendly outlets like Real America’s Voice now share the floor with CNN and NBC, with its reporter Brian Glenn praising her, “You look great... you’re doing a great job.” She claims mainstream reporters appreciate her too—“They’ll come in my office every day and they’ll admit that off the record,” she said. Yet critics see her differently. “She’s a propagandist,” one anonymous reporter stated. “All she does is berate the White House journalists. It’s an abusive relationship.” Leavitt, however, thrives on confrontation. When The Atlantic published leaked messages detailing strike plans on Yemen, she attacked its editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, as a “peddler” of hoaxes and blamed him for fueling misinformation since the Iraq War. “Do you trust the secretary of defence... who has served in combat?” she asked pointedly. “Or do you trust Jeffrey Goldberg?” Whether delivering sound bites that go viral or sidestepping tough questions with rhetorical jabs, Karoline Leavitt has become a central force in shaping the Trump administration’s voice. With a sharp tongue, unwavering loyalty, and a camera-ready presence, she has turned one of the most difficult jobs in Washington into a personal platform—and possibly a launchpad for an even bigger political future.
