Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (the slow moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION, and the long time abused USA is bringing in Billions of Dollars a week from the abusing countries on Tariffs that are already in place. This is despite the fact that the biggest abuser of them all, China, whose markets are crashing, just raised its Tariffs by 34%, on top of its long term ridiculously high Tariffs (Plus!), not acknowledging my warning for abusing countries not to retaliate. They’ve made enough, for decades, taking advantage of the Good OL’ USA! Our past “leaders” are to blame for allowing this, and so much else, to happen to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

I just had a great call with the Acting President of South Korea. We talked about their tremendous and unsustainable Surplus, Tariffs, Shipbuilding, large scale purchase of U.S. LNG, their joint venture in an Alaska Pipeline, and payment for the big time Military Protection we provide to South Korea. They began these Military payments during my first term, Billions of Dollars, but Sleepy Joe Biden, for reasons unknown, terminated the deal. That was a shocker to all! In any event, we have the confines and probability of a great DEAL for both countries. Their top TEAM is on a plane heading to the U.S., and things are looking good. We are likewise dealing with many other countries, all of whom want to make a deal with the United States. Like with South Korea, we are bringing up other subjects that are not covered by Trade and Tariffs, and getting them negotiated also. “ONE STOP SHOPPING” is a beautiful and efficient process!!! China also wants to make a deal, badly, but they don’t know how to get it started. We are waiting for their call. It will happen! GOD BLESS THE USA.

Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set. Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th. Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The National Audit Office building under construction in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, collapsed during the strong earthquake in Myanmar last week. China Railway 10th Bureau Group, a Chinese state-owned enterprise involved in the construction, has fallen into controversy in Thailand and is facing investigations. The Chinese Embassy in Thailand issued a statement saying that China Railway 10th Bureau is actively cooperating with the Thai authorities' investigations and opposes the slander and smearing of Chinese enterprises.

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Tuesday (April 1) ordered a thorough investigation into all enterprises and construction projects associated with the collapse of the National Audit Office building to ensure the safety of other buildings in Thailand.

The spokesperson emphasized that China supports the legal investigation of the improper behavior of individual enterprises but opposes the slander and smearing of Chinese-funded enterprises.

The Chinese Embassy in Thailand posted on its official WeChat account on the same day, calling on Chinese enterprises operating overseas to abide by local laws and indicating that it will guide relevant Chinese-funded enterprises to actively cooperate with the Thai government's investigations.

In a press conference held on Friday (April 4) in the form of Q&A on its official WeChat account, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Thailand responded to how to evaluate the discussions about Chinese-funded enterprises in Thailand. The spokesperson said that China Railway 10th Bureau (Thailand) recently participated in the construction of a building that collapsed during the earthquake and caused casualties, which has attracted widespread attention from Thai society. The Thai government is currently investigating the cause of the collapse.

The spokesperson pointed out that a large number of Chinese enterprises have responded to Thailand's investment promotion policies in recent years and gone to Thailand for investment and business operations. These Chinese-funded enterprises in Thailand have created hundreds of thousands of jobs for Thailand, trained a large number of highly skilled talents, made important contributions to Thailand's industrial development and tax revenue increase, and actively fulfilled their social responsibilities by participating in disaster relief and carrying out various social public welfare activities.

BREAKING: CHINA DEMANDS PEACE IN PALESTINE!

“中國”是中華民國或中華人民共和國的簡稱嗎？錯！
這是一個常見的謬誤，非常多人都沒有想清楚。
中國就是中國，中國一詞不是一個縮寫或簡稱。
中華民國的英文意譯是“中國的共和(國)”
中華人民共和國的英文意譯是“中國的人民的共和(國)”
中國對應China，是這兩個國號的定語，用來限定（明確）這個共和國的屬性。
換句話說，這兩個國號都在表達這個共和國（政體、政權）是屬於（代表）中國（China）這個主權國家的。
如果你以前沒想清楚，請你以後避免使用“中華民國簡稱中國”、“中華人民共和國簡稱中國”這種謬誤的表述。
中華民國或中華人民共和國“就是”中國（的政權），而非“簡稱”中國。
中國就是這個主權國家的名字，而非某個全名的縮寫或簡稱。這與中文裡面法蘭西簡稱法國、英格蘭簡稱英國、德意志簡稱德國、美利堅簡稱美國，文法上是不一樣的。

【彭博】-- 美國國務卿馬爾科·盧比奧制定了美國應對俄羅斯與中國密切關係的戰略，稱華盛頓希望在不造成分裂的情況下淡化這兩個核大國之間的關係。

「我不知道我們是否能完全成功地讓他們脫離與中國人的關係，」盧比奧對保守派媒體Breitbart News說道，「我也不認為讓中國和俄羅斯勢不兩立有利於全球穩定，因為他們都是核國家。」

盧比奧警告說，如果莫斯科成為北京「永遠的小夥伴」，兩個核大國一起對抗華盛頓，那對美國也不是好事。

「我們可能會發現自己處於這樣一種境地，即無論俄羅斯是否想改善與美國的關係，他們都做不到，因為我們徹底孤立了他們，他們已經變得完全依賴中國。」盧比奧說，「對我們來說更好的結果是建立某種關係。」

盧比奧在採訪中將美中關係描述為「21世紀的大事」，並表示華盛頓與北京和莫斯科都會有分歧和對抗，但強調與這兩個國家保持關係很重要。

「這些都是擁有核武庫的大國、強國。他們可以在全球投射力量。」他說，「我覺得在外交關係中我們已經失去了成熟和理智的概念。」

中國外交部發言人林劍駁斥了盧比奧的評論，稱中俄關係不受任何第三方的影響。他周四在北京舉行的例行記者會上說道：「中俄兩國的發展戰略和外交政策是很長遠的，任憑國際風雲變幻，中俄關係都將從容前行。美方對中俄關係挑撥離間完全是徒勞的。」

美國總統唐納德·川普最近向俄羅斯示好，一些分析人士認為此舉是為了分化莫斯科與北京，是在反尼克松之道而行之。時任美國總統理查德·尼克松大約53年前對中國的歷史性訪問，削弱了克里姆林宮的全球影響力，拉近了北京與華盛頓的距離，此舉改變了數十年來的國際權力平衡。

Rubio Says US Can’t Let Russia Become China’s ‘Junior Partner’

Life is like a long journey full of unknowns and challenges, and setbacks are always with us. From the first fall when we were learning to walk to the setbacks we encounter in academics, careers, emotions, and other aspects, these difficult moments constantly test our will. Perhaps it is a poor performance in the college entrance examination, causing us to miss the ideal university; perhaps in the workplace, we miss the promotion opportunity due to the failure of an important project; or perhaps in an intimate relationship, we part ways due to misunderstandings and quarrels. These moments of falling are often accompanied by pain, loss, and self - doubt, plunging us into the abyss of darkness for a time.
However, we must understand that every fall is an opportunity for growth given by fate. Take Michael Jordan, the basketball superstar, as an example. He didn't even make the high - school basketball team when he was in high school, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to a teenager who loved basketball. But this fall didn't make him give up. Instead, it inspired the fighting spirit deep inside him. He trained even harder, constantly improving his basketball skills and physical fitness. In his subsequent career, he led his team to win championships many times and became a legend in basketball history. It was precisely that experience of being rejected that made him deeply aware of his own deficiencies, thus giving him the direction and motivation to move forward and achieving a transformation from the ordinary to the great.
In the business field, the process of Jack Ma founding Alibaba was not smooth sailing either. He encountered numerous setbacks, was rejected by investors many times, and even had difficulty recruiting employees. But Jack Ma always firmly believed that the Internet had great development potential in China. He was not defeated by these setbacks. Instead, he learned from each failure and continuously adjusted the business model and operation strategy. After years of hard work, Alibaba has gradually grown and become a globally renowned e - commerce enterprise. Jack Ma's success tells us that falling is not terrible. The key is to learn to summarize experience from failure and make falling a stepping - stone to success.
When we fall on the road of life, first, we should stay calm, accept the fact of failure, and not sink into excessive self - blame and depression. Then, we should seriously reflect on the reasons for falling. Is it due to our own lack of ability, the influence of the external environment, or a wrong decision - making? Only by finding the root of the problem can we make targeted improvements and enhancements. Finally, we should summon up the courage to stand up again and move forward firmly towards our goals. Each time we stand up after a fall means we are one step closer to success.
The road of life is not always smooth. Setbacks and difficulties are compulsory courses for our growth. But as long as we believe that every fall is for standing up better, bravely face difficulties, and constantly challenge ourselves, we will surely be able to see the gorgeous rainbow after the wind and rain and realize our own life values. Let us carry firm beliefs, forge ahead through hardships on the journey of life, and write our own glorious chapters.

In the magnificent picture of life, failure is an inevitable gloomy stroke. Everyone has moments when they are shrouded in the haze of failure, and it doesn't feel good. Perhaps you have studied day and night for an important exam, but the result is not satisfactory; perhaps you have put a lot of effort into starting a business, but it fails due to the rapidly changing market; or perhaps on the way to pursue your dreams, you have encountered doubts and denials from all sides, making your steps forward heavy. The frustration, loss, and self - doubt brought by failure are like cold tides, wrapping us layer by layer.
But believe that after the storm, there will surely be a gorgeous rainbow; after failure, you will become stronger. Take Michael Jordan, the basketball superstar, as an example. He didn't even make the high - school basketball team when he was in high school, which was undoubtedly a heavy failure. However, this failure didn't defeat him. Instead, it inspired the fighting spirit deep inside him. He didn't complain about the unfairness of fate but regarded failure as a ladder to growth. Through continuous hard training, he improved his basketball skills and mental qualities. In his subsequent career, he led his team to win championships many times and became a legend in basketball history. It was precisely that failure that made him learn perseverance and 铸就 his later glory.
In the business field, the process of Jack Ma founding Alibaba was also full of hardships. He traveled around to seek investment but was repeatedly rejected. Some even thought his ideas were absurd. But Jack Ma was not defeated by these failures. He summarized experience from each setback and continuously adjusted his business strategies. He firmly believed that the Internet had great development potential in China. With this firm belief and tenacious perseverance, he finally successfully built Alibaba, a globally renowned e - commerce enterprise. Jack Ma's experience tells us that failure is not terrible. It is a stepping - stone on the road to success. As long as we can draw strength from failure, we will surely be able to achieve our goals.
When we encounter failure, first, we must face it squarely. Don't avoid it or immerse ourselves in pain and be unable to extricate ourselves. We should calm down and analyze the reasons for failure. Is it due to our own lack of ability, the influence of the external environment, or a wrong decision - making? Only by finding the root of the problem can we make targeted improvements and enhancements. Secondly, we should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and believe in our ability to overcome difficulties. Failure is only temporary. It is a kind of tempering given to us by life, allowing us to learn and grow in setbacks. Finally, we must take action, transform the experience and lessons learned from failure into practical actions, bravely try again, and move forward firmly towards our goals.
On the road of life, wind, rain, and sunshine always alternate. Every failure is an opportunity for growth, which makes us constantly temper ourselves in setbacks and become stronger. As Emerson said, "Every 挫折 or adverse mutation comes with the same or greater beneficial seeds." Balzac also said, "挫折 is like a stone. For the weak, it is a stumbling block that stops you from moving forward; for the strong, it is a stepping - stone that makes you stand higher." When we have experienced the baptism of wind and rain and look up again, we will find that the rainbow after the rain is so dazzling. And we, too, have become better ourselves under the tempering of failure. So, don't be afraid of failure. Bravely meet the challenges, because the rainbow after the storm is more dazzling, and you are stronger after failure. Let us carry firm beliefs and shine our own light on the stage of life.
