Trump decided to have his merchandise made in China when there were American union workers who could do the same work. Biden actually supported American workers.
Unless the contracted selling price is fixed, I'd be tempted if I were the CCP to impose an export tariff on those items so that they become more expensive even if the tariff is not levied on import to the US
And what about Ivanka Trumps fashion products and body bags ?????? I bet they are exempt!!!!
She’ll turn a big profit with so many dying from bird flu, measles, tainted water, starvation, lack of medical care, and covid…. Death is good for her business model😡🤬
The exceptions is where the grift is. Bidding war/auction at the white house right now. “Oh, Ag industry, you want exempted? That will be $100 million made out to my golf course’
On the money, he's a con man, he's grifting a gold card for sale for $5,000,000 while travelling at taxpayers expense to go play golf this weekend on air force one.
Tons of products that are made here are made from Chinese components and ingredients. The inflation that tariffs create will cause wage increases. Both of these factors will cause American made products to increase in price too.
Co worker told me on friday “don’t worry, the economy will be humming by mid year! This will bring jobs back to the U.S.!”. I had no response - just went silent and slipped away.
Respond by telling it will take years for new plants to be built and the products will be too expensive to compete with countries that pay 1 dollar an hour.
Falkland Islands got a 42% tariff for selling to much fish to the US.
The thing is that is their primary export.
They are 3600 people and they would have to spend $6666 each on American products every year to get Donalds 10% tariff.
Or just sale the fish elsewhere.
No, I doubt it. For now it is just a 10% increase, the CEO'S will not sacrifice the rise in their profits when the tariffs go. Just a permanent 10% in cost of living.
I used to work for an American apparel company many years ago (in manufacturing) who outsourced to Asia as labour costs in America and Europe were too high. I wonder who will bear the brunt of the cost to keep it in the US? Just sayin’
They take any little thing that any Democrat and/or left leaning person does...and sprint to attempt to equate it to their radical, extremist, freedom and democracy hating terrorist base.
There is no comparison. One "side" values democracy and freedom, and the other is a cult of traitors.
China is already making huge political gains across the world by stepping in to copy foreign aid that America abandoned by eliminating USAID. Even if we someday restart USAID that goodwill has already moved on and made China more powerful.
I mean, they could move production back into the US, it's cost a lot more so drumpf & co. wouldn't profit as much, but it's setting an example, unless he wants to show himself to be a hypocrite, which I think is more likely to happen... 🤣
Don't believe it.
#Trump knows who will pay these tariffs.
It's always a robbery with the Republicans, and they want to steal US Taxpayer's money.

Their words have no meaning, their values are nonexistent. If their mouths are moving they’re lying and trying to manipulate us. Nothing they say has any value whatsoever and none of us should listen to them.
The only way those jobs are coming back to the USA is if the American workforce is willing to accept slave wages. Which is why Republicans hate unions so much
What's all the fuss about? This is what the orange turd said he would do.....so suck it up.....pay your tariff tax and make sure you remember when the mid terms come around.
Viet Nam has already. 47% tariff. Per the Hong Kong news, many Vietnamese manufacturers are getting Cancel or Hold from their American buyers. The importers must pay 47% more. They have to research how much their American shoppers will pay and whether the VN company will discount.
Trump’s massive tariffs will raise prices on virtually everything. That extra money goes straight to the government, which Republicans are now using to fund tax cuts for billionaires. You’re paying more so billionaires get richer. Wealth inequality will only get worse unless we tax the ultra rich.
So, that is 55% on the $60K Engine block from China for a D9 Caterpillar. D9 Cat will have a reciprocal tariff on its $1.1 million cost.
Competitors, Liebherr and Korematsu are licking their lips .

That alone is delusional. It takes years.
The thing is that is their primary export.

Or just sale the fish elsewhere.
While per capita the US spends $0.08 each on Falklands goods.

The only guiding principle with Trump is that he only does things that solely benefit his own wealth and self-interest.
In another time, he would have just been a snake oil salesman. He’s a sleazy grifter. Nothing more; nothing less.
Republicans are fucking pathetic.

It's why they bought the election.
I don't trust that guy. He likes to bot his own post A LOT. So neither should you.

Even if he backs down on them, companies won’t be lowering prices. It would just increase their profits.
And he can get them from Vietnam.
Or…I won’t say it but if he lifts tariffs…

‘I love the smell of tariffs in the morning.”
Just wait.
They are delusional.
