Tariffs on China raised from 34% to 54% to now 104%

[Missouri_Mike]

Trump has started a trade war with China that could turn into a real war. China is not going to sit still and with the being allies with Russia and having power, this could turn ugly soon.

The least problem but nonetheless a big problem for all of us, is that we will now be unable to buy anything as everything is going to be way to expensive. As of now, things have gone up already and now they are going to go through the roof

White House says 104% tariff on China will take effect Wednesday​

China can’t win this war. We can collapse their entire economy within a month.

Yay! Consumerism!

You are totally a man with no knowledge or desire to obtain it

If it were.the year 1938 and England and France forced a boycott on purcnasing German goods as they didnt want to support the fascist government and their military, would they be wrong? Such a moral decision might have saved millions of lives. The CCP want to destroy America and too many have been willing to allow them to. Build closer relationships with Japan, S.Korea and those others who share American Valuds,.we need to stop funding their war expansion before millions die.

I’d take a vegetable over Trump given he’s actively trying to put us into a recession and lower our standard of living.

You're about asstupid as they come. spelled exactly the way I intended.

 

[Doc7505]

they raised them 2 days ago

~~~~~~~
And we raised the tariffs to 104%....

You going to tell people to accept a lower quality of life? For what?

People need to learn to get by with less "stuff".

I don't want to believe that this tariff fiasco is being perpetrated with specific malicious intent by people who want to cause America great harm, but the possibility is now a little too large to keep ignoring.

 

[Mac1958]

The top names in finance -- Warren Buffett, Ken Griffin, Bill Ackman, Ray Dalio -- are all firmly against this insane hyper-tariff strategy.

You want to optimize your trade situation. Always. But you do not do it like this.


And Trumpsters, you're going to feel this. Sorry. Your choice.

 

[Mac1958]

Xi will just invite Trump to China again, put on another big pageant for the egomaniacal dipshit, and the next thing you know, Melania will be kicked to the curb and Trump will have a big wedding in the White House to an 18 year-old Chinese kid.

Bond prices crashed overnight and there's a big Treasury auction coming up.

Do you think our former overseas friends are going to buy our debt when we're doing this, and when they know they can no longer trust us? Trump must. If he understands how ANY of this works, that is.

Just saw Trump on my tv news saying, regarding the latest round of tariffs, that "countries have been ripping us off for years, now it's us who'll be doing the ripping."
"These countries are ringing, kissing my ass". Then did his little dance.

I watched it all in disbelief.

Looks like more of Australia's exports to the US could be hit with a higher tariff.
With a trade surplus of about $29billion in US' favour, I fail to see how Australia has been ripping off the US.

He's making a big mistake if he thinks China is a kiss his ass or anyone else's ... country.
It's not.
Nor is Australia for that matter.

 

[Mac1958]

I'll guarantee you, one response China is considering is dumping our bonds.

And China and Russia have discussed this before.

We'd better hope that doesn't happen.

As they can with you .

But with much more cleverness .

No out of date physical fighting .
Just the simple act of refusing to accept any US Promissory notes . Along with all BRICS convinced nations .

You are already Bankrupt .This would just make it official .

And when perfectly executed, bringing down the US$ to near zero value and eliminating the Federal Reserve.

Which I suggest is a plan already in motion and for you to decide how much of it includes Trumpfy's full involvement .

 

[DonGlock26]

You will soon be a slave................to Trump

You are already a slave to the globalists.

 

[DonGlock26]

We American Loving Citizens don’t buy this trump trash. That’s what you clowns do.

I would NEVER buy any trump products.
Why do you?

You aren't even making sense with your laments.

China slaps retaliatory tariffs of 84% on U.S. goods in response to Trump​

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/09/china-slaps-retaliatory-tariffs-of-84percent-on-us-goods-in-response-to-trump.html

Just before that story broke the Dow futures were only down 80 points and the NASDAQ was up 0.70%.

The Dow futures are now down 600 points.

When investors lose faith in the creditworthiness of US bonds they demand a higher rate of return to compensate for the perceived risk they are taking by buying bonds. Meaning real interest rates tied to bond yields go up regardless of what the Fed does.

China didn’t have tariffs before then?

We are in a trade WAR.

China raised them on us last night on us to 84%,

Understand that the Americans that get hurt with this is our farmers. We don't send that much to China other than grains., Our farmers are going to go bankrupt

Starting with less money. 401k's have dropped 30% in value, and everything is now going to cost more.
