Weren't we going to isolate them and absolutely put the screws to them?

you are going to complain and act like a bitch no matter the result because you hate Trump. Get over it

Trump is a great president whether you like him or not

The grasping of straws, first thing on a Monday morning by the resident Libtards.

Priceless.

What we did was stop shipments of goods, followed by a “best deal” to put the tariffs back almost exactly where they were before Trump took office.

Trump’s motivation is to get a better trade deal for the US and onshore more manufacturing. He never said he was trying to destroy Chinas economy like some people said here. It’s all negotiation tactics with Trump. I’m surprised more people here and in the media haven’t figured that out by now.

It’s called negotiations. He had a price in mind and strategically said/did things to get China there. The man negotiated with the mafia during a time when it controlled every yard of concrete in NYC. Pretty sure he knows what he is doing when it comes to negotiations.

Impose high tariffs because of huge trade deficit. China can't move product to the U.S. (its biggest market) because it costs too much. Their shite sits on Chinese docks idly because they can't move it. They can't produce more because of lack of demand. Chinese workers get pissed. They coming running to Trump looking to make a deal.

Allowed them to ship and unload all the stuff they had in the loop when he announced the tariffs.

It takes 15-20 (or more) for cargo ships to make the trip so there were a bunch at sea or in bays/docks/right outside us waters.

the plan was to knock over all the pieces on the chess board and start over. UK just renegotiated. Result? Better trade deals for America.

China just renegotiated. Result? Better trade deals for America.

Dozens of other countries waiting in line to make their trade deal with Trump and the US. Result? Better trade deals for America


The real question is why you are acting as if you couldnt have come to this conclusion on your own accord?

You should tell that to these ships who are apparently en route to the USA for the fun of it

Without looking, can you tell me what the tariffs were in 2024?

What were they after liberation day/tariff day?

What are they now?

I’m genuinely curious and understand that you are at odds with the board most of the time.

By saying are almost exactly where they were before with Trump took office, Can you tell me the differences and Linked them?
