The TRUTH About Trump's "Trade Deal" With China; China's Jobs Will Be Saved, While America's Consumers Will See Higher Prices to Keep Walmart & Target Shelves Stocked:

 

   While FOX News is all giggly about Trump's new "Trade Deal" with China, what you need to understand is that the United States, and China have agreed to nothing more than just a 90 Day "Cooling Off" period to try to keep the global supply chain intact; during which time both sides have the opportunity to seek a long-term mutually beneficial trade deal. Here's what you need to know to protect your investments; as well as what items you should consider stocking up on for you and your loved ones, just in case this temporary truce in Donald Trump's Tariff Trade War with China's Premier Xi Jinping heats up faster than a Dollar Tree frozen entree in a new Amazon or Walmart Microwave Oven.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer met with a delegation of CCP members including China's Vice Premier He Lifeng on May 10-11, 2025 in Geneva Switzerland. The talks were described as a positive step, with "substantial Progress" made towards the de-escalation of ongoing trade war between U.S. President Donald Trump and China's Premier Chairman Xi Jinping.

  Trump's China "Trade Deal" Sparks Market Rally, Yet Significant Questions Linger: 

 Trump's China "Trade Deal" Jump Started a surge in the Stock Market as the Dow Jones soared over 1,000 points as news of President Trump's "trade deal" with China sent waves of optimism across the United States. Television pundits, and even some of Trump's harshest critics hailed the agreement, with the public reveling in the prospect of economic relief. However, the reality of the deal--a 90 day "Cooling Off Period" rather than a finalized trade agreement has raised concerns about its long term impact. 

  A Temporary Truce, Not a Real Lasting Trade Deal: 

    Contrary to widespread Mainstream and Social Media reports, the U.S. and China have not yet secured a comprehensive trade deal. In reality, both nations have agreed to a 90-Day pause on escalating tariffs between Washington D.C. and Beijing, during which time they hopefully will negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement. This temporary truce will, however slash tariffs significantly, averting Trump's threat of 145% tariffs on Chinese goods that would severely cut down on container ship cargo's from Shanghai, and other Chinese ports; that could have led to empty retail, and grocery store shelves with widespread shortages in the U.S. 

  Tariff Reductions Will Bring a Mixture of Outcomes on Both Sides of the Pacific: 

   During this cooling-off period, U.S. exports to China will face a 10% tariff, while initial reports stated that Chinese imports will face a 30% tariff; Official White House statements by Jason Miller clarified that in actuality certain Chinese goods will be hit with a combined 50% tariff rate, including a baseline tariff, a fentanyl-related tariff, and rates from Trump's first term; which China simply ignored during the Administration of O'Bidenation, as the Chinese delegation admitted to Treasury Secretary Bessent in Geneva. 

  While these reductions are a positive step back from potentially catastrophic levels that would have lead to devastating job loses in both the U.S. as well as in China; consumer prices for tens of thousands of Chinese goods, are still set to rise, as current bookings for container ships from Chinese to America's ports are still set to rise by as much as 20-30% in the next few months. 

   Trump Aims to Reduce U.S. Reliance upon China: 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent framed the bilateral agreement as part of Trump's Grand Strategic Level long-term strategy to "decouple" the U.S. economy from its dependence on Chinese imports over the past several decades. While a complete break is unrealistic in the foreseeable future, Bessent stressed that the 50% tariff rate represents a "floor" signaling that tariffs at least during the Administration of POTUS 47 will not drop any further, even with a permanent trade deal with China. This shift aims to protect America's long-term interests, especially when it comes to military hardware, and computer software chips currently believe it "made in China" which President Trump aims to reshape international trade dynamics permanently.   

The Eagle vs The Ancient Sea Dragon
Which One Would be Victorious if Trump's Trade War 
Turns into a Thermonuclear Hot Mess? Which Country is capable of Fielding a 200 Million Man Army? 

 China Also Claims Victory In These Recent Negotiations:

   Chinese officials and State run media, are also celebrating this temporary agreement made in Switzerland; portraying it as a triumph of Beijing's tough negotiating stance. They are proudly stating that their refusal to make significant concessions has paid off with only minimal compromises with Washington D.C. Both sides are spinning that the 90 day "Cooling Off period as a "Win!" as neither side wants their people to believe that the delicate balance of power in U.S.-China trade relations has been negatively altered. 

 Economic Pain Looms on the Horizon, Despite Current Optimism: 

  While these tariff reductions do off temporary relief on both sides of the Pacific, the 50 percent rate on Chinese imports will drive up prices for countless products, hitting low-income Americans hardest. Shoppers at stores like Walmart, Target, and what already used to be "Dollar Stores" will feel the pinch as the cost of goods rise significantly. With an overall effective global tariff rate of 17.8% on imported goods the highest since 194, according to the Yale Budget Lab--the U.S. economy faces significant challenges in an already interconnected global market. 

   Meanwhile in China's crowded Manufacturing Centers, and Factory towns, while this trade truce will certainly help countless millions of China's workers in the manufacturing, transportation, and shipping industries that have already been profoundly affected by significant drops in orders for the U.S. market. 

  Global Slowdown Adds to Uncertainty: 

  This temporary trade agreement reached in Switzerland comes amidst far broader economic concerns, with global activity slowing due to wars, and rumors of wars; as well as layoffs of factory workers accelerating due to advances in AI, and Robotics eliminating the need for millions of human workers worldwide by design of the Global Elite. With Nissan's recent announcement of 20,000 job cuts worldwide, the fragile nature of our current economic landscape is showing up with significant drops in consumer spending worldwide. 

  While this 90-day trade truce between China, and the U.S. is a welcome reprieve, this current combination of high tariffs, and the global economic downturn foreshadows turbulent storm clouds on the horizon. The second Trump Administration is on the clock, and demonic forces are gathering to derail the global economic supply train by any means necessary to achieve "The New World Order!" to cut off the economic power of Middle Class peoples in a misguided effort to "Save the World!" to have us "Eatz Ze Bugs!" and give up our demand for modern "necessities"  such as Drive Thru Fast Food Burgers from Restaurant Chains that are increasingly using Kiosks, and online ordering to eliminate entry level jobs for  Teenagers, and young adults. How much longer do we have until Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC's) will become ubiquitous worldwide to ultimately drive humanity into submitting to the Mark of the Beast economic total control system?  Only Time Will Tell! 

Twelve Steps Towards Overcoming the Coming Global Economic Storm: 

   The global supply chain and economy is currently about as unsinkable as a glass bottom kayak about to plunge over the Canadian Falls on the upper Niagara River. Inflation is soaring as government money printing of fiat currency to pay off existing debts is off the charts. The United States Dollar's lofty position after World War II of being the world's reserve currency is now about as precarious as a truce between India and Pakistan; or a 90 day truce between the U.S. and China. 

  The time to act is now to shift your wealth into durable assets, acquiring survival skills, and fortifying your homes if you desire to temporarily save your hides before the poop hits the fan. Here are Twelve things that you can proactively do to prepare for the "perilous times" that may arrive much sooner than we would like:

  • Convert a Portion of your Savings in Digital Currencies and/or Paper Dollars/Euros etc. into Tangible Assets: Protect your wealth from hyperinflation by investing in gold, silver in smaller denominations such as coins that easily be exchanged in transactions. Be aware of the risks involved in having the majority of your wealth in the form of highly volatile cryptocurrencies, due to market manipulations and future regulatory changes. 
      Stock up on goods that are practical for barter and survival        when fiat currencies collapse due to hyperinflation: tools,          food (bulk dry items such as rice, beans, flour, corn-meal            powdered milk) canned soups, stews, vegetables, fruits.              Invest in high quality gravity fed water filters such as                  Berkey stainless steel units, be sure to buy several filters in        the event that tap water is no longer accessible, or safe to            drink. Make sure you have adequate medical supplies for at        least six months in a grid down scenario. Now is the time            to learn how to wean yourself off of prescription drugs by            healthy eating and starting an herbal garden.
  • Prioritize Barterable Precious Metals: Opt for small, tradeable forms like "junk silver" or fractional gold coins over large bullion bars, which may be confiscated or impractical especially in a Bug Out scenario. Combine with high-demand practical goods like food, water filters, and ammunition for greater flexibility in barter or trading. 
  • Source Precious Metals Affordably: Buy gold and silver at local coin shops, reputable online dealers, estate sales, pawn shops, or trusted private sellers. Junk silver (pre-1965 U.S. Coins) is recommended for easy transaction divisibility. Recognize trends in gold, and silver prices to spot optimal times to buy, yet don't rush to sell when market manipulations especially in silver drop prices. Consider precious metals to be a long-term investment to protect your assets in times of economic uncertainties, as over the long-term the prices for gold, and silver historically increase the longer you hold on to them.  
  • Stockpile  Essential Goods:  Build reserves of storable food, water purification systems, and medical supplies (antibiotics, painkillers, wound-care items) tailored to you and your loved ones personal needs, as supply chains weaken and prices soar during economic collapse. Toilet paper is a non-perishable item that is only becoming more expensive with each passing year. If you have adequate space stock up. Purchase a toilet seat cover for a 5 Gallon bucket from Academy or Amazon, as well as a small shovel to bury your poop for sanitary reasons in a grid down scenario. 
  •   Master Self-Sufficiency Skills:  Learn how to sprout      seeds indoors to protect sprouts from insects, as well as        two-and-four-legged predators. Learn gardening skills          beginning with buying only organic, non-GMO fruits, and    vegetables and saving the seeds to sprout perennial fruits,    and produce to be grown not just in your own backyard        garden, yet strategically sewn into open areas within           walking distance from your home which are not mown   regularly. Learn hunting, fishing, and foraging skills to   sustain yourself when stores are closed, or their shelves   are empty. Learn self-defense skills including firearms   training and martial arts techniques. Learn situational   awareness, and avoiding mass riots, conflicts, and   sketchier parts of your home cities, and towns.
  •   Prepare for Mass Civil Unrest: "Bugging In" is almost              always safer than "Bugging Out!" Invest in securing your            homes with reinforced doors, security alarms, and cameras.          Nothing beats a good guard dog with a powerful bark, yet be        sure to stock up on dog food as well. Get to know your                neighbors better, offering your willingness to help them to            protect their property in a time of crisis, yet use discretion            before you literally "spill the beans" about your own   preparations. Keep some physical cash in small bills on hand in   case of bank closures, and if your financial situation enables you, store some of your wealth offshore in stable currencies to counter government asset freezes, or bank account restrictions. 
  •  Eliminate Your Personal Debt:  Pay off high-interest debts like credit cards, and loans; while avoiding accumulating new debts like new car loans to help prevent asset seizures by banks, or governments, as witnessed in Greece's bank bail-ins. Liquidate non-essential assets like jet ski's or snowmobiles. 
  • Reduce Your Living Expenses: Cut your monthly expenses by 20% or more by downsizing your housing, eliminating subscriptions, and buying staples like food in bulk for non-perishable items. Expand income sources to grow your savings, and better maintain your assets in times of civil unrest. 
  • Identify, and Avoid High-Risk Economies:  Nations like Argentina, Turkey, Japan, and U.S. regional banks face imminent collapse due to hyperinflation, currency crises, or unsustainable debt. Move your funds to more stable countries like Switzerland, Singapore, or Dubai. 
  •  Develop Bartering Skills: Master appraisal, negotiation, and security awareness to trade safely. Learn basic welding, or repair skills to maintain appliance, vehicles, tools, and weapons to maintain the functionality, and trade value of your goods in a collapsing economy. 
  • Relocate to Avoid Urban Food Riots:  Move to rural or semi rural areas to escape urban violence during food shortages. Establish a secure home and monitor trends in civil violence in case you may need to relocate before government lockdowns, or travel restrictions. Ultimately no matter how well the preparations which you have, or will make to protect yourself, and your loved ones will someday prove insufficient to save your lives. Armed street gangs determined to do whatever is necessary for their own survival may someday destroy your best made plans to ride out a economic storm that evolves into a Civil War or even World War III, Yet are you truly ready for what the Bible describes as: 
         a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 
2 Timothy 3


  • Da Last Word: Nobody lives forever, unless your name shall be found written in the Lamb's Book of Life.  
      Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it;
      and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 
Luke 17:33

I am the resurrection, and the life: 
he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
 yet shall he live: 
and whosoever liveth and believest in me shall never die.
John 11:25-26

      Messiah Yeshua by his perfect example has shown us that we need not fear                our physical death, if we place our trust in his atoning crucifixion upon a cross            and his overcoming the sting of death by the way of  his resurrection three days,        and three nights later nearly 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Each of us our guilty        of sin, and the wages of living a sinful lifestyle is everlasting death. Yet it is by              God's Grace (unmerited favor) towards us through our belief in his only begotten      son Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus of Nazareth) that we may experience God's                perfect gift of eternal life to shine for all of eternity. 

                  For by grace are ye saved through faith;              
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 
not of works, lest any man should boast. 
Ephesians 2:8-9

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; 
and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. 
Daniel 12:3
