Trump says China convinced the world “let’s all do magnets”

Donald Trump was everywhere during two press conferences at the White House on Monday, where he hiked on his fascist vision for the country. But there were a few points of lightness, especially when the president tried to explain how China became a leader in the minerals of rare earths. Or at least, that’s what we think we are talking about.

“China has intelligently entered and they have somehow taken a monopoly on the magnets of the world,” said Trump. “No one needed magnets until they convinced everyone 20 years ago:” Let’s all go. “”

Trump continued by saying that there were “many other ways that the world could have gone” and insisted “we are heavily in the world of magnets now”. Trump continued by saying that he had sent Boeing “all the pieces so that their planes can fly”, referring to documents that were retained during the trade war.

Trump continued by saying that the prices are “much more powerful” than magnets and that China would be billed a “200% price or something” if the country’s leaders “do not give us magnets”. Trump insisted that the United States would ultimately have “so much (magnets) that we will not know what to do with it”.

Trump made these comments during his Meeting with the South Korean president Lee Jae Myung, but what is he talking about? It seems that the president is trying to refer to the tit-for-tat that has been performing since his so-called “Liberation Day” rates were announced on April 2. China retaliated on April 4 by announcing new export controls on seven rare elements of land and magnets that are vital for things such as electric vehicle engines, wind turbines and electrons.

The American automaker Ford Ford has faced production delays on its inability to stock up on rare earth magnets, according to the Wall Street Journal, even temporarily closing an installation in Chicago during the shortage in May. China controls approximately 90% of rare land metals in the world, making Trump’s unnecessary trade war a really silly struggle to choose if you try to stimulate manufacturing in the United States

What does Trump mean by saying that China convinced the world “let’s all do magnets”? This is not clear, but it could be a reference to the fact that China was a leader in the development of sustainable energy production. Trump and the Republican Party have been more widely determined to fossil energy for purely ideological reasons, and it is probably logical for the president’s base for him to insist on China in a way, the world has made the acceptance of the energy transition to sell magnets. Or something. As with everything that is Trump, it is often difficult to read your mind.

At one point at the press conference preceding his meeting with the South Korean chief, Trump referred to a governor named “Kristi Whitman”, someone who does not exist. Trump then corrected to say “Whitmer”, apparently referring to the governor of Michigan, but his name is Gretchen, not Kristi. The interior security secretary, Kristi Noem, was nearby, which could explain why the name Kristi was vibrated in his hollow Noggin.

Trump also signed a decree on Monday which would imprison anyone who burned an American flag for a year. This question was the most famous in the 80s, which led to the 1989 Supreme Court affair Texas c. JohnsonWho maintains that the combustion of a flag is a protected discourse.

But Trump obviously doesn’t care. He will continue to test the limits of what is accepted by the American public, recently degenerating his military occupation of Washington, DC, by having members of the National Guard carrying arms. Federal agents terrorize the city, and people are arrested for a little more than just filming the police, according to videos that are published on social networks.

Trump threatened to send the National Guard to Chicago afterwards, which the governor of Illinois explicitly said he did not want. But it’s a whole new world. And things will get worse before improving.
