While tariffs put on Chinese made products imported to the USA is great idea an even better ides is to put tariffs on entire product classes import from all countries. That will force the repatriation of industry quickly instead of just moving production to the next 3rd world slave market.

Paying a few pennies on the dollar more for one time inflation is not really pain.

I am more supportive ò American production, than you are.

No you aren't. You contribute nothing to America. No American manufacturer makes revenue or pays a worker from the hot air you spew from Ho Chi Minh City.

Yet, of the two of us, one is supporting American producers.

One is sold out.

Hmmm.

Who is which?

What has happened is war. I look at history and see America used to handle things differently. America needs to stand up to China. They need to be punished and they need to feel the anger and know if they do anything else,they will regret it.

Bringing our supply chains home from China is sure to anger them. But it’s a national security imperative. Bring on the trade war.

How pathetic the Fake News is...someone asked him if he would withhold payments on our debt to China and he said that would be a messy way of going about it...he had other tools he could use.

Losing thousands of jobs when China retaliates and exports to China drop dramatically is pain for those impacted.

Let's see about this potential "massive" loss in Chinese exports.

The US economy is $22T and exports to red China are $150B annually. Doing the math that is .7% of the US GDP. No big loss. If it goes down 10% that is $15B/yr. OTH the economic upside will be in the trillions. Math is your friend.
