Be glad he is caving. You wouldn't like empty shelves.

He didn’t cave so you could keep ripping citizens off by buying Chinese. He raised them. He paused others and kept them on for autos.

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.

All these leftwing outlets will eat crow for the 107th time. Trump is always right. He always triumphs in the end. He will be right about this economy and every one of these leftwing doomsayers will be wrong. They've tried to bury him for 10 years. They thought they had him locked up and out of the race. Now look who is president and getting his way right now on everything.

Neither am I. Trumps actions around tariffs are not helping that situation. They are hurting it. Our leverage against China is dramatically lessened because of Trump

I'm sure our leverage against China was in really good shape when Biden had his hand in their pocket!

Biden increased tariffs on China. How do you explain that?

I'm not sure what kind of side deals Biden and Hunter had going on with China. Maybe you can explain it to me

Unlike you I don’t pretend know other peoples business and make assumptive proclamations about it.

But what I do know is that Biden increased tariffs on China. How does that square with your claims? Why would he do that?

What did Chinese tariffs have to do with Joe and Hunter's bank account? Seems like you're deflecting. Are you?

Hunter did business with China. Just like the trumps do business with China… doesn’t have anything to do with Joe. You’re making assumptions

Do you really not think that any of that money made its way into Joe's pocket? Are you really that gullible? LOL

If only you knew what you were talking about...

 

[Mac-7]

I just explained our tariffs were already higher than China’s. You have no idea what an objective is. What do you want done about athletic shoes?

And china tries to avoid our tariffs by shipping to a third country and forging the country of origin paperwork

But trump is wise to that trick

See him caving.

MAGA will have to avoid/deny stuff like this, and they'll spray out some personal attacks, but Peter Zeihan is a well-known geopolitical consultant, and he goes over (in great detail) the fucking chaos, costs, and corruption opportunities being created by Trump's insane and ever-changing tariff circus:

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.

I bet they do say that, they do not want success for America, they want high profit margins with cheap junk
