The guy is a genius. Amazing no one thought of this brilliant idea of tariffs. Dude deserves a Nobel price in economics. He just owned Keynes and all his lib economist pals. Next up: wearing powdered wigs and challenging adversaries to duels. What a clown.
That's right! If it's coming into Amer, Americans are paying an import tax on it. Trump says it's to punish China bc they'll sell less bc it's too expensive. Okay.🤔When will prices ever come down? Will they stay high until ppl have no money, or there's a [email protected]

I swear I wish we could get all Americans to understand that you put a tariff on the country. It raises the prices for the importer, which raises the prices for the consumer. It's not that complicated to say
Huh! It was money for old rope then. Walmart imports 100k Chinese hammers a month at let us say $3.00 per. Retails at $10. Seems like a pretty cheap hammer.
No US company is going to make those for under $10. Let's face it, no US company can be bothered to make hammers when the Chinese do.
Those environmental problems effect the whole world. America has more regulations than china, meaning american goods have a smaller carbon footprint and negative effects than china. Same goods, less polution, higher payed labor
I would rather pay more and have less, than have more at the expense of an exploited worked in Pakistan or whatever. Bringing manufacturing to the US could give workers power to raise the min wage and obtain more workers rights. I don't want blood soaked consumer goods anymore
Your goal seems idealistic. Especially with an administration that has repeatedly shown they have zero interest in environmental protections and zero interest in making things better for workers.
It's our job to improve labor laws and raise the minimum wage, along with the unions. We need the jobs here in order to do that. Trump probably doesn't care about workers. Nobody on top ever has.
I don't want to pay more. But I want jobs in the hands of americans who need them, and I don't want little kids in Pakistan to work all day so my shoes can cost less. IL pay more if it means less exploitation of powerless people.
Your leader hates the working class American people so much, he's willing to see them all crash and burn... but he's so stupid he will end up being hated by everyone including his best buddies
They should be doing everything in their power to avoid buying anyway. I don't like Trump, but at least China's CCP is finally getting a tiny fraction of the pain they deserve after what they've subjected their citizens+the world to while claiming to be communist but acting fascist.
Every nation facing tariffs only have themselves to blame. All they had to do to avoid them would have been to invite him to visit and film some pee tapes.
on everything... anything that gets imported will have that percentage tacked on our consumer bill in the usa, not theirs. they still will make the same money while we pay more.

I was for tariffs before I was against before I was for tariffs before I was against tariffs again. I thought Republicans were against flip-flopping before they were for flip-flopping.
HE will exempt companies from tariffs and set rates with countries. This is economic Dictatorship I predicted last month. Now more people are finally writing about it.

Can't wait to see the mental gymnastics Walmart shoppers will do in order to not blame it on Trump. Better make the next batch of Kool aid extra strong.
Kiss goodbye to most of the Big Box clothing stores and outdoor outfitters.
Fact is the United States never had much of an appetite for making things-unlike, say Germany or Ukraine. We have a few notable exceptions but the bulk of what people are stuck with is made abroad-even fabrics for suits.
They manipulated a vindictive, unqualified President to bring us to the economic edge -showcasing to our trading partners just how untrustworthy & unreliable we’ve become.
Then China opened their arms to those countries we insulted and said:
We’re here for you!
Exactly. And Tramp doesn't give a shit about the little guy, small companies that depend on imports to create their product. Those products will be out-priced and small companies will be bankrupt and out of business quickly. Low margins can't afford the tarrif hit. Unemployment will soar.
Thank you, Dr. Brown. It’s incredible that they don’t even know what the word “tariff” means. I don’t understand how anyone can claim to have a high IQ and not know the meaning of tariffs. It’s truly mind-boggling.
Tariffs impact goods AND services! Your bills might go up too! Tariffs on stuff means companies need to adjust the costs to make up for the higher prices they're having to pay on things they're getting overseas too! Ex: garbage service needs trash cans, truck maint. and parts! Think about that!

China has horrible environmental problems because of manufacturing.
We have environmental protection laws but that hasn’t stopped Elon from exploding rockets all over Southeastern US.
Who is going to enforce environmental regulations in US???
Those are regressive taxes, not tariffs. This is spite and demented fever dreams.

Make it crystal clear.
Surely, therefore, the new tariffs introduced in China must be a tax on people living in China?

What about small businesses, farmers, fishermen, and others who can’t afford to play in the D.C. Swamp?
Can you say corruption?

TARIFFS ON AMERICANS FOR CHINESE PRODUCTS
