Trump’s Big Tariff Talk Crumbles. He’s Backing Down Big Time!

[Conservative from Georgia]

Trump’s getting roasted in the latest New York Times piece, and it’s juicy! He was strutting around, promising 145% tariffs on Chinese goods would force companies to build factories in the USA. But surprise, surprise—his big plan’s a total dud! Big dogs like Walmart and Target told him straight: his tariffs would jack up prices and leave shelves empty. Now Trump’s admitting they’re a bust and backing off fast.

Where’s the “deal-maker” who was gonna make the world beg? Looks like reality slapped him silly!


The article’s got more dirt. Trump’s not just caving on tariffs. He’s dodging other fights too. He backed off firing the Federal Reserve chairman and, with the stock market down 10% since he started, his Treasury secretary’s scrambling to avoid a full-on trade war with China. This is the guy who said he’d make global trade bow to America, but now he’s learning it’s not as easy as tweeting tough. The Times calls it a “vivid case study” in Trump’s economic faceplant. Anyone else cracking up at this?


Trump’s crew is spinning it like he’s playing 4D chess, with his press secretary saying “have patience” and claiming 90 countries are ready to deal. Yeah, sure, Karoline! Sounds like a weak excuse for a guy who’s in way over his head. Check out the full takedown on nytimes.com. It’s brutal. So, what’s the vibe? Is Trump’s retreat a total humiliation, or are his diehards still buying the “genius” act? Spill the tea below and let’s clown this flop! #TrumpTariffs #BigL

Trump’s Tariffs Bump Into Reality as Economic Strategy Wavers

President Trump has said his punishing tariffs would force companies to build factories in the United States. But it is far from clear that they will have the effects he predicted.

The most important countries -- China, Japan, Canada, Mexico, India, Germany -- know he's a buffoon, they know he's trying to "Art of the Deal" them. So they're taking their time. They'll sign agreements at some point, but they're not going to bend over for him.

In the end, the material improvements will be marginal, and nowhere near worth the damage he has caused to our global reputation and influence. Every trading partner is moving away from us, and that will continue. They're even moving away from the dollar and Treasuries. That could cause us real damage, and they know it. But they're not our friends any more.

Is there a more destructive, stupid, self-inflicted wound in our history? Not that I can think of.

Aww Atheist from Augusta, Trump supports the US and will do whatever he has to in that regard. Commies like you don't need to worry, your country won't be affected by our gained wealth.
Why don't you go out and find a job instead of whining al the time. Is SNAP that great, Libtard from Lithonia???

Are you happy with being dependent on communist china for many of our basic needs?

I’m not

Also, your side flooded America with illegal migrants

Are they taking jobs from Americans OR lounging around on welfare sucking up benefits?

The tariffs are disruptive, and thats a good thing that we need

Since China has said there are no negotiations, I wouldn't bet on the tariffs not happening.

Trump is using tariffs to bring that to a halt.

If that were true, he would not have attempted to overthrow our democracy.

I would “overthrow our democracy” by begging 50 million desperate thirdworlders to invade our nation…Thirdworlders who will always vote for free shit…thirdworlders with a high fertility rate. You know, just like you did.

Most of Trump's cult shops there.

Here in SoCal no white person will go to a Walmart, they say they feel like foreigners on their own soil, like they’re in a thirdworld country. Foreigners are the base of the Democrat Party.

When the largest company CEOs tell you that shelves will be empty and prices will rise it tends to catch the attention of even dumbass Don. Walmart, Target, Home Depot.

Top CEOs Warn Trump Tariffs Will Empty Store Shelves

“The big box CEOs flat out told him the prices aren’t going up, they’re steady right now, but they will go up,” an administration official familiar with the meeting told Axios. “And this wasn’t about food. But he was told that shelves will be empty.”

According to a separate official briefed on the meeting, Trump was told that if he doesn’t change course, the impact could be noticeable in as little as two weeks.

The CEOs words seemed to have some sway on the president.

The following day, Trump told reporters that tariffs on China will “come down substantially” from his previously announced 145% rate.
