Works for me. I’d rather pay more for less and pay Americans anyways.

I do not like tariffs in general, but we’re in a Cold War with China.

Go Trump!

No US business can complain because they just pass the tax on to consumers (as they always say), so COC—SHUT UP!

Heard today that in private talks Trump is not worried about china and thinks that even if all trade with china stopped it would not necessarily be a bad thing.

I couldn’t agree more. For years we have been buying the rope they intend to hang us with.

They have a growing food shortage, they’re not importing high tech gadgets and sneakers from us, what they import gets EATEN. And they already blinked - just yesterday:

Just raise them to 50% across the board, and then let China know an embargo is an option too.

POTUS is too afraid of price increase in the US for Chinese goods. He’s showing weakness.

No wonder the Chinese are upping the ante. They do not fear us.

And that tells you how important it is to bring them to their knees.

We have the financial and military capabilities to totally destroy any other country on the planet. PDJT understands that and is hitting them where it hurts the most (the wallets of their elites) and it is a brilliant strategy. I’m happy to pay $2 for something I could have bought for $1 if it means we remain the most powerful force.

Trade wars are stupid and useless. Everybody shooting themselves in the foot, thinking and/or trying to make it look like they’re shooting the other guy.

Trump’s a smart businessmen but a lot of smart businessmen do not necessarily understand economics.

Trump should raise all tariffs on China goods to 100%. American companies can choose to do business in China or look to find production somewhere else, maybe here.

China is the worst place for production. They are terrible producers. They are extremely wasteful. They pollute more than anyone. Their workers rights, human rights, child labor laws are all horrible. And any profits they make goes to their Army or corrupt officials.

They import little of our goods, so their tariffs have little effect. We import HUGE amounts of their goods, so our tariffs have HUGE effect. Sucks to be you China.
