所以，对于特朗普接下来的行动，我们完全不必着急。我们大不了苦上两个月三个月，美国可就不一样了。特朗普这么一闹，出来反对他的，从民主党到未 来很多共和党人都会反对。因为共和党原本的 5 个铁盘州，都快倒向民主党了，这影响非常大。他一上台，搞崩了美股市场，整个美股蒸发了 4 万亿美元市 值。现在美国底层老百姓因物价问题压力山大，从有钱人到没钱人，都被他得罪光了。以后谁还支持共和党，支持特朗普？他之前画的那些大饼，说要让制 造业回流，关税折腾了这么久，有哪家跨国公司愿意把工厂搬到美国？没有，因为开公司的都知道，供应链不是一天能建立起来的，而是历经多年形成，且 供应链非常复杂，地区人才优势的形成也非一朝一夕之功。 特朗普任期仅四年，却搞出这么大动静。若这些举措真能见效，起码得十年以上。但十年之后，若持续如此，美国经济还能撑得住吗？不出意外，今年美国 经济就将面临滞胀风险，而且这次是人为造成的滞胀。美国本来有经济硬着陆风险，本可通过经济手段调整，可特朗普却直接让美国经济硬着陆。 特朗普执政 100 天，真的创造了一个历史记录，基本上把该得罪的、不该得罪的都得罪光了。你以为他只是得罪中国吗？并非如此，他得罪更多的是美国内 ...

认为美国谷歌公司违反了日本的反垄断法，要求谷歌整改，还成立独立监督体系，未来五年定期汇报整改情况。虽然日本官方说这和美国关税没关系，但明 眼人都看得出来，这就是在给美国敲警钟，别把日本逼急了，不然还有更多 "大招"。 今年 4 月，国际经济圈可不太平，一场充满火药味的关税谈判，把美日之间的矛盾彻底点燃，还牵扯出中美之间复杂的经贸纠葛。 当时，日本经济再生担当大臣赤泽亮正带着团队跑去美国谈判，本想着自己是美国的 "亲密盟友"，怎么着也能在关税上争取点豁免权。哪知道，第一轮谈 判就谈崩了，双方谁也不让谁，最后闹得不欢而散。美国官员态度那叫一个强硬，直接告诉日本，别想着搞特殊，其他国家都老老实实交关税，给日本开绿 灯可不行。更离谱的是，特朗普自己还下场，和赤泽亮正见面时，提的减免关税条件一个比一个苛刻。一方面，要求日本敞开大门，大量进口美国的汽车、 液化天然气这些产品，摆明了要占日本的便宜；另一方面，还要求平衡美日贸易逆差问题。除此之外，美国还有没明说的 "隐藏条款"，居然想让日本和中 国减少经贸往来，甚至完全 "断交"，还把安全问题掺和到关税谈判里，搞得一团乱麻。 这回日本没像以前那样忍气吞声，日本首相石破茂表示 ...
