According to an overnightĀ CNN report, Donald Trump’sĀ truce with ChinaĀ in the trade war he created could fall apart after his administration made twoĀ unforeseen ā€œbombshellā€ announcements.

Secretary of StateĀ Marco Rubio announced on Wednesday that the U.S. willĀ Ā ā€œaggressively revoke visas for Chinese studentsā€Ā studying in critical fields or if they have connections to the Chinese Communist Party, an announcement which was met with a wave of anger by families inĀ China, many of whom have saved for years to educate their children abroad.

The second blow came after the Financial Times reported that ā€œmoves by US President DonaldĀ TrumpĀ had effectively cut off some American companies fromĀ selling software used to design semiconductors to China.ā€

That one-two punch has reportedly ā€œinfuriatedā€ Chinese authorities who felt they had made progress with the volatile Trump as the clock ticks on a 90-day pause on increased tariffs.

    how does everyone not see that.

    Complete lack of education…

    If you’re over 60 and just got a k-12 public education, you can’t be expected to know things you weren’t taught

    Same for the kids who were under No Child Left Behind, no one ever taught them critical thinking so most people that graduated American public school after 2013 only learned critical thinking and problem solving from video games.

    That leaves basically just the Oregon Trail generation that were actually taught how to recognize bullshit. Everyone else was just taught to follow orders and only care about themselves.

    Like, at this point it’s legitimately more surprising that people who didn’t fall for it still can’t understand why it’s working. It’s not some big secret that the American education system is shit
