As heard at 2024 Krakow NATO Innovation Summit: 30% of Ukraine ☠️ are due to drone strikes—for Russian ☠️ during the Kursk offensive, it was ~100%—so in future warfare, it’s clear “those command➕data links will b/c [only] more vital!” #AIInnovation @tbpn https://t.co/KAG9uxYPgq

RT @politicsusa46: While Trump is playing this stupid game of chicken with China he can’t win, he is forcing thousands of small businesses…

“China is a major enabler of Russia, it provides ~80% of dual-use items Russia needs to sustain the war—as Trump said: ‘Cont coop btwn these nuclear powers only further contributes to global instability➕makes 🇺🇸 & others less safe.” #StandWithUkraine🌻 https://t.co/QLmJtCU4mi

MW in the land of the unintended ‘prescription’ of consequences—China indicates it’ll now openly circumvent U.S. patents and outright copy U.S. IP at high-quality scale for pennies on the dollar in RE: Trump’s tariffs. #WeirdWinning🙈 #TradeWar #贸易战 https://t.co/wVCznf0rAV

While some argue China already does this—seriously imagine if China now genuinely decides to earnestly & actively reverse engineer all American-designed products at scale, disregarding IP—and ships them around the world…where Trump has levied 🇺🇸 tariffs. https://t.co/KuTfNcGx8f

China released Regulations of the State Council on the Settlement of Foreign-Related Intellectual Property Disputes (国务院关于涉外知识产权纠纷处理的规定)—effective 01 May 2025—“relevant SC #中国国务院 bodies may…adopt corresp counter & restrictive measures.” #TradeWar #贸易战 https://t.co/QhX9XVkA6Y

“We’re royally F**KED. Your only job is to make me look better than Biden drooling in his diapers…playin 17-dim chess w/the global world order. Now [after🇺🇸mkts lost trillions], I look like an orange emperor w/no clothes…”—imagined Trump mtg post-tariffs https://t.co/N16jRXqLnf

Competitive advantage is the true benefit of the GLOBAL FREE MARKET—as Milton Friedman exemplifies: “It is the magic of the price system, the impersonal operation of prices…why operation of the FREE MARKET is so essential—fostering world harmony➕peace. https://t.co/rYyqXTTnqg

When our so-called business ‘genius’ Pres somehow doesn’t even remotely think to consult w/American business before he makes such a dramatically bad tariff policy choice—policy that sig impacts💲price for e/one in the buy-sell chain. This makes no good business sense whatsoever…

“Stupid, and mean—that defines Trump’s tariff policies… …go anywhere else in the ROW—they’ll tell you 🇺🇸 has done better than any country in the world in the last 30-40yrs. [But] Trump thinks we’re somehow the suckers in the system…”—Fareed Zakaria https://t.co/oDIQphg6oa

Anyone w/any degree of economic acumen is confounded by this act of ‘self-harm’ by the POTUS to the world’s strongest economy—eg. fmr Treasury Sec @LHSummers: “We don't have these kinds of stock market responses in response to policies that the POTUS is proud of.” #WeirdWinning🙈

“…Trump's decision to enact sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs on trade partners will go down as one of the greatest acts of self-harm in🇺🇸history—wreak[ing] untold damage…across the world, upending a global economic order that🇺🇸benefited from➕helped create.”https://t.co/NGgJk9qmXN

RT @LHSummers: Never before has an hour of Presidential rhetoric cost so many people so much. Markets continue to move after my previous tw…

Reckless economic warfare will stymie growth & likely drive us into recession—despite receiving one of the best performing economies in decades from Biden, Trump has unilaterally decided to burden Americans w/a ~$6T regressive tax hike, via tariffs. https://t.co/fhJSeqCM4h

Globally, this Trump tariff policy will face major global backlash against American products—➕likely break many longstanding global & domestic business models. If long-term, likely recreating widespread economic stress, inflation & uncertainty, like that last seen post-COVID.

Ultimately, as Moody's Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi @Markzandi points out—Trump will face exceptional pushback on his tariff moves, and likely need to pivot to return 🇺🇸’s economy back to growth. For now, it’s a wait & see markets will not like… https://t.co/PCoQK46uPE
