So who on here was saying this whole tariff business was about China prior to today?

I see a lot of people now saying it was always about China. But who was saying it before? I’ll start paying more attention to their posts.

I think it was a combination of a lot of things including sticking it to China

I’m not sure and I don’t care if I did or not.
All I know is that Trump is sick of seeing Made in China on everything.. he’s pissed off at China for releasing COVID (a bio weapon), he’s pissed off at China for flooding our country with Fentanyl and he’s pissed off that we are no longer the world leader in making things.

Trump is no stranger to tariffs. He launched a trade war during his first term, taking particular aim at China by putting taxes on most of its goods. Beijing responded with its own retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products ranging from fruit to automotive imports. Meanwhile, Trump also used the threat of more tariffs to force Canada and Mexico to renegotiate a North American trade pact, called the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, in 2020.

I’ve said from day one it’s about leversge. Idgaf what we get as long as we aren’t getting ripped off. Trump also has secured foreign manufacturing coming here so I don’t understand the got ya on that. He accomplished that well before the tariffs.

Here is a post from yesterday
Don’t listen to me though. This had more to do with 8 years of what Trump has said.
I suggest listen to what Trump has to say sometimes and not the media.
In a diff post I said he isn’t happy with the EU, but that seemed more on the defense side, not trade.
And that too is from what he has said over the years.

You probably want a bunch of countries at the table first before you start cranking out deals to ensure that china won't just bypass and dump in other countries.

Who didn’t think it was about China is the better question?
Posted on 4/9/25 at 9:18 pm to baybeefeetz
Many people, including myself. But I give all the credit to Donald Trump, he has been saying it for 30+ years. Not sure why anyone is surprised by this
This thread is an example of many people understanding what was up a few days ago.

I said it was about renegotiating the global trade situation....
I mean I'm not going to say I said the word "China," but thats implied as they are the biggest producer in the global world order. I thought that was obvious.

They are all coming to the table, For that, the tariffs were paused. We will get a better deal, but not 0 tariffs. China will end up giving us a beter dealm but not zero either.

And a lot of Mexico is because China builds their Manufacturing plants in Old Mexico.
