Are you happy with the many countries existing off the tariffs they charge the USA?
Trump isn't happy.

I’m not pleased with the high tariffs imposed by some countries, but I recognize that a higher tariff rate alone doesn’t mean they’re taking advantage of the United States.

In many larger countries, key industries face significantly higher operating costs than their U.S. competitors due to factors like higher taxes, less efficient infrastructure, and more expensive raw materials. Meanwhile, smaller countries often rely on tariff revenue as a critical source of funding for their basic operations and public services.

Without these higher tariffs, U.S. companies, due to their competitive advantages could quickly drive many foreign businesses into bankruptcy. Tariffs, in this context, are often more about economic survival than exploitation.

Dune to many differences in countries, foreign trade can not be a level playing field.

At the moment Trumps always talked about higher tariffs are a promise and not really happening yet. The Tariffs he added are not the major problem now. And other nations have time to get in line and do their part to avoid high tariffs.

After our encounter, my hope was you had decided to settle down.

I believe China is in a stronger position to endure a prolonged trade conflict with the United States, should it choose to do so, for several key reasons. First, the Chinese people have a long history of enduring hardship without protest, largely due to cultural norms and limited avenues for organized dissent. Second, China's household savings rate is approximately 30%, compared to just 7% in the U.S., giving Chinese families a greater financial cushion to weather economic disruptions. Finally, President Trump is working under a limited political timeline—he has a maximum of four years to achieve his goals, and possibly only 21 months if Democrats regain control in the midterm elections. In contrast, Xi Jinping has been in power for over a decade and is likely to remain in office long after Trump has left the political stage.

While the U.S. is China’s largest export market, China’s total exports amount to $3.4 trillion, with $438 billion going to the United States. Losing access to the U.S. market would reduce Chinese exports by just 12.6%, meaning 87.4% of its export economy would remain intact. Many economists argue that China could even recover some of that loss by expanding trade elsewhere, especially as reciprocal U.S. tariffs make American products more expensive and less competitive in other global markets.

Thank you for dismantling the claims by Democrats that Trump messed up.

That did not have any effect on the number. The number was March's data and tariffs did not go into effect until April 2nd and the Amazon denial was 1 week ago.

I must not get it. Amazon denied press reports it would add tariffs onto my bills. That is all I am talking about.
