Trump orders $50B in tariffs on Chinese imports

[TheOldSchool]

Great a new massive tax on Americans that will adversely affect middle and lower classes. Tariffs are wealth destroyers.

We'll force the other countries to eat the cost of the tariffs and keep prices the same.

If you think prices will stay the same then you’re retarded

Just relax snowflake, put your trust in president Trump.

Tariff - You charge me an unreasonable amount and I'll bankrupt your ass.

They are charging you incredibly cheaply. The tariff is to force a price increase. Good grief.

Wall Mart’s not going to be happy.

Nobody will be

Trump typically has backed down when Canada, Mexico and the EU spelled out they weren't being bullied without spilling blood. China is a more complex situation imo. People at the lower earning end who have to find the best bargain in food and clothes will be screwed. (Although I went to walmart last weekend for the first time in over a year because I wanted some bulk dried milk for bread baking, and prices of meat, cheese, produce .... I get better prices by comparative shopping)

Jina can absolutely fuck us on durable electronic goods. And they can kill American multi-nationals. But that will put their citizens out of work. But then, is Trump really going to put taxes on Iphones and media players built by American companies? I can't see billionaires still giving to gop congresscritters if they allow that.

Their citizens average income is $4,000 a year. This will make them even cheaper to hire.

Excellent work and he said more is coming. He even accurately took a shot at the WTO, something I have said for some time, "they are operating to hurt America". Also intellectual property, which China regularly steals.

The global abuses will not happen if Trump has his say. Some have said they feel comfortable with Trump as long as Stephen Miller is on his team, I have said I have faith in Trump as long as Wilbur Ross is on his team. He's a sharp man, like Mattis, you won't get much bs through him.

A telling sign. Lighthizer also spoke at the announcement, this is a big deal as he is heading the NAFTA negotiation. This also speaks to IP, which Canada has allowed China to get away with through Canada, thanks to the self serving, docile RCMP and CSIS.

Here is what is politically so powerful about this. The Democrats are being forced to supprt America First. We saw it in PA, we will see it going forward. How are you going to tell the voters "we are going to take off tariffs, and help prop up China again, at the expense of your jobs and economy". They can't. This is why CNN and other hate it. The only people who love China's success is Wallstreet, they don't care about the fact that it is a massive National Security threat to have China rise on Americas shoulders.

The Trump administration on Thursday took the first steps to slap China with up to $60 billion in tariffs on imports and to restrict investments in the US by the world’s second largest economy.

The president instructed US Trade Representative Bob Lighthizer to assemble a package of new Chinese tariffs and direct Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to do the same for a plan to restrict Chinese investments on US technology and properties, administration officials said.

Trump, in announcing the actions, said foreign leaders are laughing at the US over the trade advantages they enjoy over America.

“I will say the people we’re negotiating with, smilingly, they really agree with us. I really believe they cannot believe they’ve gotten away with this for so long,” the president said.

“ I’ll talk to Prime Minister [Shinzo] Abe of Japan and others, great guy, friend of mine, and there will be a little smile on their face and the smile is: ‘I can’t believe we’ve been able to take advantage of the United States for so long.’ So those days are over.”

Other administration officials hailed the move.

“The president of the United States is standing up for American corporations. He has their back,” National Trade Council Director Peter Navarro told reporters during a briefing.

This is a double edge sword. It is going to raise the cost of consumer goods. It will will cost family farms, and US auto manufacturers exports. It will lead to loss of contracts to Boeing that Air Bus will pick up. It will lead to a loss of manufactured goods exports. It will lead to the loss of prepackaged food exports, as well as medical device, and phamacuetical exports.

Trump must have a heart....these tariffs are nothing compared to what we should punish them with for all the illegal shit they do

It was in the news recently, China costs Hollywood billions in pirated movies and television shows. Blatantly stolen, it sounds like while Hollywood hates Trump's guts they are going to partner with him on this problem.

Seriously freaking China blatantly rips us off at every opportunity and we should play nice with them?

If they don't they will open it up to competition. CHina isn't the only low cost labor source. They will contribute to the U.S treasury and jobs will increase. Already evidence the steel tariffs are directly responsible for jobs in the U.S

does china have tariff's on our products?

The steel tariffs haven't even kicked in yet. It will hit manufacturing and raise the price of American steel even higher than it already is, which is already too high to compete with the rest of the world. Tariffs are job killers. Protect one pet industry, sacrifice the rest. Liberal trade policy at its finest.

We are punishing them for selling things to us at prices that are way too good. Isn't that fun?

It's the anticipation, much like the tax cuts and benefits to employees. Trump won on the economy, dealing with trade abuses and the Wall.

It has to be dealt with, America is in trouble, and the rest of the world wants this. These socialist sob's had this coming to them. Lucky for them Reagan isn't in charge or he's be laying sanctions and sending ships out to the ocean and forcing boycotts.

No more of a weak, passive America getting squeezed while some fat ass in some shytehole country persecutes his own citizens on the U.S taxpayers dime. Sorry, but I get angry when so many think that the failure of America will just be replaced by China and all will be alright with the world. You have to be naive as hell if you are in Germany, Japan, Canada or America and think that the world will be a nicer place with China the only superpower.

The Trumpettes are virtually holding guns to their own heads, and threatening to shoot if the Chinese don't stop.....

Lol Trump won on trade abuse... The average household income in China is $10,000. The average household income in the U.S. is $84,000. Now you tell me, who's winning in that arrangement?
