Engaging China with tariffs to effect fair(er) trade was a very solid plan however the execution has been poor.
It was a very solid goal. I'm not sure the plan was solid.

He did not blink for shite. If he did why is my news feed still wall to wall tariffs with nobody anywhere else pushing this blink shite besides here?

Yep. But we learned in 2020 that best way to plan for a national emergency was to wait until after the last second and then throw a shite ton of newly printed dollars at it in the most retarded ways. We've got this, bro -

Lol... you don't think having the worlds top consumer market is leverage? Also, the country responsible for much of the free worlds defense?
You will be proved wrong as you and other progressive Marxist have been proven wrong in the last 4ish years.
Whats China going to do with all those products they can't sell? Or all the workers that will no longer have jobs in China?

A double edged sword. What are American businesses going to do if they can't get product to sell or use in their manufacturing process? What about American jobs that will be in danger?

Not when you rely on the rest of the world to fund too much of your wildly out of control spending and debt.

How do you see us leveraging this position in these circumstances? That's an honest question - curious what you're thinking.

We're massive consumers because our currency is strong, and our workers are extremely expensive. So no... we don't ahve a lot of leverage to strong-arm other nations into buying exports we don't produce by taxing imported items we can't economically produce ourselves. quote:You think China sees us as a defender?

Dumbasses are finding out that we are completely reliant on global trade. Stupid games and what not

Someone else called this cigarette lighter chicken, where both sides are damaged and it's just a question of who can stand more.
The problem is that Trump was using his own forearm and Xi just grabbed a teenage peasant and used theirs.

He hasn’t given anything away. It’s a temporary life to encourage good faith negotiations.

Only a complete moron (like you) doesn’t understand what is happening here. In fact Trump specifically stated they were temporary.

Trump: eliminate tariffs
Other countries: no
Trump: ok here are some tariffs on your goods
Other countries: ok. We want to negotiate.
Trump: ok. I will temporarily suspend the tariffs while we negotiate.
Could you really not follow that series of events?

China has all the leverage and they will win this trade war. Most U.S. companies offshored their manufacturing over there. Do you think China has manufacturing companies in the U.S...You can blame whoever you want but that's the hard truth.

Not only can I follow that sequence but I recounted it within my posts and made a preemptive argument because I knew exactly where you would go with this. The main issue here is that the presumption is going to be backing off the specific list has nothing to do with China and everything to do with his constituents' lack of will. It has nothing to do with what may be in his head. What he did signals a lack of resolve; if you can't see that, then understanding leverage vis-a-vis negotiations is not your strong suit.
It is just like the cluster frick that the initial attempt to remove the de minimus was, an ill thought out plan that had to be reversed in short order. They both underscore lack of planning and lack of will.

That's the truth of it right there.

Yes I have. I have noticed little things. For example, my Keurig coffee cup things have been either $9.99 or $11.99 for at least a year. Yesterday when I did my weekly shopping, they were $6.99 and I about fell out of my chair. I have also noticed that milk is about a dollar cheaper.. gas by my house is now $2.49 where about a year or so ago it was over $4.00
I’m noticing random little things that are just cheaper. There’s still a lot of items that are around normal prices but at least I am seeing a few things coming down which is a huge step in the right direction in my opinion
I truly think in the next few months, a lot of things are just going to be cheaper

China didn’t come to the table and for the most part their tariffs were jacked up. What does China have to do with the 70 countries I have been referencing that did come to the table?
Are you for the tariffs or not? If for, are you for temporary or permanent? Let’s get you on record because all it seems like you are all doing is taking the opposite opinion of what Trump does.

Businesses and the economy don't approve. Nor does any of our 401ks.
It’s mixed whether businesses or the economy approve. Judging that based on any consternation in the moment is unwise. Whether or not they are better off in the long term, or whether the whole ecosystem is better off in the long term is yet unseen, but still very much possible. And we all know it’s dumb to clinch your butt cheeks at the daily ups and downs of the stock market.
The good news with tariffs, like I said before, is long term negative effects can be stopped in their tracks if we see that’s what’s happening. On the flip side, long term positive effects are very much on the table and could be ensured through continuing that policy. It’s not like bad codified law that we are likely stuck with forever.
