Trump Does his Awesome New Tariffs. Winning!!

Whaaaa… But I thought Americans paid Chinese tariffs? That’s how tariffs work, right Trumpers?

 

President supporters need to stop gaslighting themselves about the tariffs. Stop holding his water. The attempted implementation is a disaster. Even conservative radio host and their guest are talking about it. Heard Bill O Reilly on Buck Sexton or Brian Killmeade show saying as much. He talked about how ending DEI and deporting illegals was a big win, however, his tariffs blew up in his face and the fact he really doesn't have a plan.

Are they in place due to drugs? For getting jobs back and manufacturing back? For getting trade back in balance and not getting ripped off? For getting rich making other countries pay for it? Just want a better "deal"? Pick a lane and stay in it, stop spewing so much nonsense.

The GOP party needs to hold him accountable. HIS trade war is backfiring, and we won't feel the real affects for a while.

 

Aren't the car companies losing money on inventory sitting in a port and not selling? Apparently the loss is worth it to them because of the size of the tariffs.

 

Yes, they would be losing money. The goal is that they think prices will skyrocket or tariffs will go away. Some companies are betting on the first (by paying the tariffs) while others are betting on the latter (by storing them pre-duty).

 

6 months until Christmas shopping. People gonna be panicking they can’t get the GI Joe with the kung-fu grip.


CNN —
Toys made in China have been exempt from tariffs since President Donald Trump’s first term. That is no longer the case.

Last month, Trump raised tariff rates on China to 20%, dealing a big blow to the toy industry. But he didn’t stop there. Just a few weeks later, Trump was set to tack on an additional 34% “reciprocal” tariff. Then he tacked on another tariff, and another, and another.

Now, goods from China are being tariffed at a whopping 145% rate — and that number will likely keep growing as Beijing vows to continue retaliating against new tariffs and Trump threatens to do the same.

American companies have do decide whether to pay millions in new tariffs or go without inventory. Some are suing the administration. But as one said, “its scary to oppose” Trump right now,
