And Now for Something Actually Important: Trump says he’s considering a 10% tariff on China beginning as soon as Feb. 1

[Mac-7]

To the US or to Vietnam?

Not so much to America, unfortunately

But half a victory, as in hurting china, is better than a complete loss

 

[Mac-7]

It doesn't need to come to the US. Simply leaving China for Taiwan would hurt xi.

Communist china is our enemy, democratic Taiwan is not

 

[rightwinger]

Production is already leaving china in a massive way

Not to the US

 

[Mac-7]

Not to the US

Production leaving china is a plus for America

Communist china is our enemy, democratic Taiwan is not

Correct.

Alrighty, lets discuss something of actual economic and political import: TARIFFS!!!

• On Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump said his team was talking about a 10% tariff on China.
• He said the duty could take effect as early as Feb. 1.
• During his campaign for president in 2024, Trump called for levies upward of 60% on China.
• Separately he re-iterated initial 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Canada has already says it will retaliate and is drawing up countertariffs.

I think, the whole world should place 100% tariffs on the US. When suppliers stop buying off the US, then the White House can sup a cup of tea and ponder over the mess they've got themselves into.

Trump is good for America, but, the US needs to wind it's neck in, cut back on the testosterone a bit.

Another american ticktocker with an exploded brain from what she saw in China: cheap food, everyone lives in their own homes - in the U.S. nowadays it's impossible to buy housing for young people, no homeless, $20 cancer cure compared to $20k a month in the U.S..
The eyes of millions are being opened.

The Chinese also pay far less. And use slave labor. Other than that, no problem.

Bad news for Walmart

Forced on our American companies by an overbearing government through ridiculous regulations.

That's right..... Either levy a tariff or get rid of the goddamn business choking regulations.

Hell Chinese companies pour chemicals into their Rivers.... Unleash untreated cold smoke directly into the sky.... And make their hourly workers work with poisonous chemicals all with no repercussions.
