Trump brushes off trade tensions with China: ‘It will all be fine!’
U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to dismiss the increasing tensions with China over its decision to impose export controls on rare earth minerals, even as he threatens a massive tariff...

In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump shrugged off Chinese President Xi Jinping’s escalation, which could upend supply chains for American technology companies, as Xi merely having a “bad moment.”

“Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!!” he posted.

Trump’s comments are a noticeable shift from his earlier messaging when he announced the move from China on Friday, which he had slammed as “very hostile” and accused the country of holding “the World ‘captive'” with its trade policy.

Shortly thereafter, Trump slapped a 100% tariff increase on China over its export controls, and appeared to cancel a highly anticipated meeting with Xi at the APEC summit in South Korea next month as a result.

That new tariff on China is not scheduled to take effect until Nov. 1, but it has not gone unnoticed from China.

CHINA SIGNALS COUNTERMEASURES IF TRUMP STICKS WITH 100% TARIFF INCREASE

Earlier Sunday, China’s Commerce Ministry responded to it by threatening “corresponding measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.”

“Our position on a tariff war remains consistent — we do not want one, but we are not afraid of one,” they said.

I see one of the recommended Washington Examiner articles there is:

Family business: Trump family grifts receives less pushback second time around


I don't subscribe to the Washinton Examiner, so I can't read the full article, but it starts out mentioning Kai's clothing line, Eric's book tour, and Don Jr.'s Executive Branch private social club... small potatoes and maybe not grifting at all (Kai's clothing line?, Eric's book tour?, who cares?)... I wonder if that article goes further into the red meat:

New Analysis Finds Trump Family Has Raked in $3.4 Billion Off the Presidency

Trump’s newest grift: Building a cryptocurrency empire while destroying its regulators

Trump’s Latest Grifts: 747s, Crooked Contracts, and Sweetheart Deals

The Trump Family’s Latest Grift Is a Cheap Phone That Might Not Work

Trump Watches LOL, etc.?

Is this the country you want?

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A U.S. citizen in Portland, Oregon, was detained by plainclothes officers and held at the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building for hours before being released, according to his attorney.

Frank Miranda was outside his place of work early on Oct. 2 when multiple agents wearing masks, who did not identify themselves, approached him and told him he was “on an overstay,” his attorney Michael Fuller said. In a video that Miranda took of his detention, he can be heard saying, “What do you mean, overstay? I don’t know what that is.”

He told the officers that he was born in California. After objecting to being taken into custody and saying he hadn’t done anything wrong, an officer can be heard on the video saying, “We’re gonna put you in cuffs or you’re gonna get the dog.”

Miranda was then struck from behind, handcuffed and put into an unmarked vehicle that took him to Portland’s ICE building, Fuller said. He was held there for several hours before being driven back to his place of work.


ICE and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment.

Trying to figure out your initials, is it Carlo Teófilo Garcia, or if you identify as a senorita Carla Teófila Garcia? If you get a visit from ICE and they cuff you and take you away and you look like a white supremacist, then no, not the country I want. Anyone can be taken into custody and detained as a suspect of a crime and be later released after further investigation. Considering the location, I would highly suspect the news source not to be 100% forthcoming with accurate details. Was he asked for ID and refused? Was he resisting? Apparently he provided ample proof of his citizenship and was released, so yes this is the country I want. How about you, what about people that were arrested and jailed without charges, put in solitary confinement for months, and they were only guilty of being at the J6 rally at, not in, the capital building, is that the country you want.
