But whose economy will suffer more

Are you going to take some kind of comfort in the fact the you suffered, but less than some Chinese guy?

I'm starting to believe that the desire to suffer is some sort of religious compulsion with you people.

... you people.

My position is not if tariffs are good or bad, but why does it seems that only the US is in the wrong for imposing tariffs. Why do our trading partners get a pass for having higher tariffs than we do? And if imposing tariffs are bad, who will it affect the most?

You don't start a war if you don't think you can win. Trump clearly thinks the US will win if a trade war occurs.

That is what I am asking. If tariffs are bad for the US, are they not bad for everyone else? And how do you get them to reduce their tariffs by other means?

Tariffs are political instruments. No way around it.
