America is becoming a fascinating experiment in giving national economic policy to people whose résumés read like cautionary tales.
A six-bankruptcy businessman as president.
A hedge fund manager whose fund’s assets collapsed from about $5.1 billion to $577 million after years of erratic performance is now Treasury Secretary.
And now these two are managing the world’s largest economy.
America really assembled the Avengers of Financial Failure and handed them the global reserve currency.
And now they’re trying to beat the currency market.
The United States is no longer a government. It’s a failed-business alumni association with nuclear weapons. 😂
Manila’s online clowns really posted monkey cartoons of themselves, got thousands of laughs, then cried “dehumanization” when China mocked them back.
You cannot build your entire propaganda style on self-humiliation and then demand China treat it as sacred dignity.
You are not anti-racism.
This is just a clown act of you playing the victim.
J.D. Vance called Chinese people “peasants.”
China heard him and said:
Fine.
We’ll send the peasants’ rice to space.
Shenzhou-23 will carry rice seeds to Tiangong to test two consecutive generations of rice grown in orbit — a step toward in-situ food production for lunar bases and deep-space missions.
Imagine trying to insult a civilization with “farmers,” only to watch that civilization turn farming into space infrastructure.
That’s the problem with American arrogance.
They still think “peasant” means backward.
China knows it means the people who feed civilization.
And now, maybe one day,
the Moon too.
Two official images tell the story.
In Beijing, Trump walks beside Xi on the red carpet.
At the White House, Trump walks Japan’s prime minister Sanae Takaichi in with his hand on her back.
One image says: power beside power.
The other says: submissive imperial mistress.
The camera understood the hierarchy before the politicians admitted it.
