It was never about China, but all the other countries called Trump's Bluff, so he decided to just go all in with China. In the end, we will have the same results as if he did nothing at all.

Pretty much everyone and anyone that had the ability to fog a mirror.

Ive said we were going to war with them without putting boots on the ground or firing a shot. Chyna is needing a reality check, and was hoping Trump would go after them
The West needs this too.

I think the execution was less than stellar but I think Team Trump did the tariffs in a shock and awe format to get the attention of all US global trading partners. We have to remember, Trump could have attempted to address each nation one by one with his trade concerns or throw a nuclear bomb tariff policy into effect and force those nations to come to the US. We'll see if Team Trump's tariff strategy was the correct way to go....time will tell.

If you didnt know Trump has it in for China for the pandemic, and undermining US jobs, then its likely most politics gets past you

re: Trump triggers race to offer US concessions before tariffs hit

No, it is #4 which is to lower the manufacturing output of China spread to other nations and away from our economic and potential military adversary.

Why would you think anybody outside the admin knows exactly what is going on? Anybody posting here is guessing.

So who on here was saying this whole tariff business was about China prior to today?
A few days ago you losers were insisting that if other countries negotiated Trump still wouldn’t remove tariffs. Now the narrative has shifted to “Blumph bent the knee by removing tariffs”.

Just make yourself a note. Anything the US does externally, meaning anything outside of the US borders, is done with at least a thought of: "how does this affect China?" If anything is beneficial to China, we make sure they know.

It never was all about china. Why would anyone say that? Of course China is #1 on the list. Big shock. It is not ONLY about China.

Did you think it was about Swiss watches? Parmesan cheese?

Me. I said days ago we need to drag China specifically into the deep waters.

Really? You think saying that Trump is being disruptive (which I agree with given the circumstances) is offering some special insight?

Dude, Trump has been saying this since he decided to run for president the first time.
Posted on 4/9/25 at 11:08 pm to baybeefeetz
Looking at the big picture, Trump wants China's influence diminished... The amount of China's spending on the military is telling.
