Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set. Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th...

Gotta wonder how high prescription drugs (using China made precursors) will go before the madness ends?
Yes, but there is no way that Xi can allow himself to lose face by backing down in the face of this new tariff. Unless we want war (because economic war can quickly turn in kinetic war) we have to negotiate something sane. I would listen to Ackman.

Why don’t you wonder instead how low prescription drug prices could go once this tariff madness ends?
Perhaps eventually. But we would pay a heavy price as well.
What do the Chinese buy from the USA anyway?

Madness ? The madness is the quiet GOP and quiet Jerome Powell of the Feds who usually under an Obamanite hack would have self mobilized to lower rates or say something.
The mad silence of silent traitors is deafening.

Wall Street will take a hit, but it will help Main Street. I could care less if Wall Street gets buried. Trump is working hard for America. Democrats are working for someone else.
If you could care less, why don’t you?
This is the trade war the US has desperately needed for the last 50 years.
?
It isn’t what happens to prices down the road now, and if you look closely these “tariffs” are more than simple tariffs which is why Navarro wants still more than zero tariffs.
Question, would you eat food that is made in China?
—
Grocery stores are loaded with food made in China. Check your local food bank and tell them to throw out all the food made in China, then explain to all the hungry people lined up that they will have to make do with less food.
China will cave.
You beat me to it.
