Bring China to it’s knees? That’s not necessary. Lets just take care of our needs. They want to trade, no problem, lets do fair and equitable trade. No more selling out our own people like the AH’s in D.C. have been doing for decades.

Get over it folks. The TV you paid $1,000 for 12 years ago that now goes for $500 might cost you $650 next week. It’s worth it to get the Chicoms back in their subservient place. Starving their military budget as well is not A bad thing.

“China is our enemy.”
True. Unlike the USSR, they don’t care if we exist or not. They just want to run the world, and we’re in the way.
I wonder if this new tariff hike has anything to do with North Korea launching some missiles over the past few days. China has probably been hoping that Trump would be politically weakened by the Mueller report, and thus that their hand would be strengthened. When that didn’t pan out they may have played the North Korea card. If so, Trump’s response is exactly what he should do.

My ~15 yr old $1,000 TV is still working fine and made my wife quite happy at the time. [She hated watching TV on my kludged up system using a 21” CTV computer monitor...]

I’ll take the short term pain for the long term gain. Thank you, Mr. Pres.

Why would stocks take such a hit on the prospect of higher tariffs, much less implementing them?

Synalloy has benefited from Trump tariffs. Gold can be a short term hedge against a bear stock market.
