Bold of you to assume that Trump and Company won't put the average American to work for almost nothing. The planned economic recession is to convince the people to do so.

The new generation of American children will not spend most of their time studying in school, but rather working in factories for a handful of peanuts. That's Trump's America.

Prison labor, that's the answer. They'll just start making the prisons into actual factories

They already are, prison labor expansion would be at the expense of existing companies.

China has a lot more leverage to increase this price. Export tariffs on US listed companies to US, and perhaps to countries that choose to further increase sycophancy to US empire. Prevent US manufacturing with more export controls.

The problem with decades of propaganda/smearing is that too many people believe it. Bessent yesterday said "They only have a pair of 2s" as cards. No one in the room has not been programmed to "repeat that China is on brink of collapse for all of the last 20 years". Hitler couldn't win war because generals had to be loyal to every syphilis inspired thought of the dotard.
