I hope this works out and they bend honestly. Lots of things like intellectual piracy that China has to address if they want to do business with us.

Disingenuous title is disingenuous.

He said tariffs. Not taxes. Taxes implies income taxes and you know it.

that is not mandatory to purchase, unlike the mandatory TAXES you pay to the government every year.

I knew you would come back with that response. However it's disingenuous because tax implies income tax. The title makes it sound like Trump is going to congress and requesting that they pass a bill to increase income taxes.

We distinguish between tariffs and taxes or their wouldn't be a word for tariff.

Here Trump is talking about tariffs. He is one step granular than "tax" whereas you want to bring the conversation to a more broad level of tax to hit Trump.

There is a lot of crap that comes out of China but a ton of American companies have successfully taught and trained the Chinese to build excellent products in China and ship to their factories, facilities and warehouses in the US.
