Holyfuck HAHAHAHAHAHA!

impose tarrifs on the country that makes half your shit hoping they would kiss your ass

they just impose their own tarrifs without making a statement or offering to negotiate

realize they have the upper hand and panic

cave in and offer to negotiate first

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Shit thread. Move along.

Trump humiliation ritual thread, get in

When will Korea, Japan, China, and North Korea form a united front? Once we make the UK the 51st state, we'll just need an east asian alliance and the 1984 clown world will be completed.

the whole world is laughing at you
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

we literally had a feminist cult president in south korea and it was less embarrassing than this

It's genuinely sad how true this is becoming.
Trump was cool when he was deregulating shit and shutting down USAid

The US went from a dementia ridden puppet to a full retard boomer.

China is collapsing.

You lost tranny

Doesn’t even deserve a rebuttal. Try harder next time chang

lmao dude we have the largest trade deficit with china.
us imposing tariffs on china hurts them more than their tariffs hurt us.
chinese exporters will eat the cost.

we import more from china than they do from us, so a tax on imports will hurt them!!!

oh little migatard
if only you knew

oh no now china's exports will be even more competitive :(

“knew” what, faggot?

Trump's lining up to Kiss Xi's ass.

He lost.

it hurts them in the sense that you're destroying your own purchasing power/quality of life and reducing the amount that you can buy from china with the same amount of money

nuking all of your major population centers would have a similar effect, why not btfo china even harder? Fewer Americans = less Chinese profit!

You guys already sucked and bent the knee

Brother your entire male populace lost their mind over a hand symbol chicks made. Yeah, a fucking symbol made with your hand. You don't really have much ground to stand on hahahahaha.

nope, the prices will stay the same and the chinese companies will eat the costs by having a lower profit margin.

why would chinese companies lower their prices when there aren't any unitedstatian alternatives to most of their products?

HEY YO DONNIE, DON'T YOU KNOW TARIFFS ARE LIKE RUBBING SHIT ALL OVER YOUR FACE AND SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT??

YOU REALLY THINK YOURE GONNA PULL THAT TOUGH GUY?

HEY DONNIE, GUESS WHAT?

EVEN THOUGH I THINK TARIFFS ARE LIKE LIKE RUBBING SHIT ALL OVER YOUR FACE AND SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT

I'M GONNA ENACT MY OWN TARIFFS

THAT'S RIGHT LITTLE DONNIE I'M RUBBING SHIT ALL OVER MYSELF TO OWN YOU

because either they sell fewer units to americans due to lower demand due to the increased price or they sell the same amount while paying us to enter the market while eating the cost.

Fake news. China said they’re willing to negotiate first but will “fight to the end” if Trump doesn’t come to an agreement.

Nobody on the planet is prosperous enough to buy and replace cheap Chinese garbage besides Americans. They're actually only now realizing it's not worth it. Buying expensive stuff isn't worth it either because it's also shit. This will probably end up with new smaller companies making good but middle priced shit. This tariffs shit will probably just make that happen faster.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen until Americans become ok with less stuff that slower to arrive....which has been the opposite of American culture since the 1950s.

China says it will not bow to Trump’s tariff threats, threatening countermeasures and saying it will “fight to the end.”

well you turned out to be a liar what y'know

chinese exporters will eat the cost.

Hahahahah. You are one stupid muthafucker

how?

Exporters will just pass the cost onto consumers

then we buy less cheap plastic chinese shit and their revenue goes down.

Yeah, that's the idea.
But you're gonna have people complaining.
And ALL costs will rise.
Because the people who make your food in america, will want more money to afford the more expensive consumer goods.
It was naive of trump to think he can get this shit done in 4 years.
People, like india, do this decoupling from china, after nearly 2 decades of building and subsiding industries to replace chinks' cheap goods.
You are a service economy. You weren't ready for this.

Really just out here talking to yourselves arent you. How have you not learned from a decade of astroturfing and lying that hasn't worked that astroturfing and lying don't work?

Yes, Americans will consume fewer Chinese goods and the American government will raise revenue

Because the people who make your food in america, will want more money to afford the more expensive consumer goods

then they also stop buying the cheap plastic shit because THEIR revenue goes down due to increased prices.

You are a service economy

and what were we before that?
certainly not the greatest industrial nation in world history, right?

God saved Trump in Butler, unless it becomes obvious that the mandate of heaven has been revoked I am going to sit and laugh as you scoffers fail again and again and again

Why would anyone stop buying cheap plastic shit? Do you not understand planned obsolescence?

Dear Xi, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'

yes, hopefully the tariffs will put an end to that practice.
in history shit we used to manufacture used to last.

Trump gracefully offers China an off ramp after slapping it with tarrifs

China shills declare this a victory

Trump won the dick measuring contest, China can cave or be isolated

THAT MEAN LINE GO UP!

Why would it end the practice? You don't want things to last if you want to keep Americans employed making that thing.

I appreciate this reference

xi would be retarded to go personally

drumpf makes the soijak face as the amerishart people go extinct.

MY TEAS GONE COLD

This is pure Anon Babbleoping.

The Ukrainians really are fucking Russian cocks with their asses!

i think it’s because if people are more mechanically-oriented due to re-indistrialization we just replace shit by making it ourselves in our own workshops.
idk
what’s more likely is that over time people just stop buying useless shit.
like do i really need a printer when it breaks down and i have to replace every year after i used it once the previous year?
inb4

you will own nothing and be happy

if i own a printer and it breaks down and needs to be replaced every year, maybe it is actually better to just not have one.
i think planned obsolescence does reduce demand in the long run.

For the 4th year in a row!

Nobody stops buying useless shit. Buying useless shit is the very definition of being American. because how else are you going to think you're cooler than your neighbor? Because you have the super awesome grass mower 2025 and they only have the 2024 model. You win. You're better.

Face it. Americans live to spend money and show off that they spend money. So why would you say an American shouldn't make a hammer that's only designed to last a year? Why is it wrong for that American to secuce his economic future by building hammers.

Why do Americans have the most consumer cred card debt in the world? Because they're addicted to buying stupid shit. How old is your Internet device you communicating with me? Be honest. Because it's probably at most a couple years old.

i think that mindset is being phased out by each successive generation.
i myself am a minimalist and would rather just buy only necessary shit prioritizing antique versions that were manufactured without tye approach of planned obsolescence.
american cars, for example, are manufactured with tye planned obsolescence approach starting in the 70s whereas japanese cars presently are not, hence why the demand for japanese cars are higher.

sweet, maybe i'll get a byd on discount

tye

the*

It's not getting phased out. It's getting worse. People have walls of Funko pops (made in America!). You absolute dumb idiot.

Xi is literally the one who instigated negotiations. Trump is letting up on everyone EXCEPT China. It really is fucking sad when these shitholes re-write reality for their own citizens. North Koreans for example believe China was the first to land on the moon and Mars.

Trump is making Biden look good at this point

and everyone laughs at them and calls them faggots.
why are you seething so bad? im trying to have an intelligent conversation.
day of the rake when

nd what were we before that

What you were before has been cruelly destroyed by your govt.
Your industry is your legs. your legs have been cut out from under you. Life in a wheelchair sucks. Trump's tariffs is you trying to throw away your wheelchair and trying to walk without any prosthetics (bringing your industry back)

China will be isolated

Lolwut.
Being cut off from america isn't isolation.
Europe, Japan and south Korea are all getting closer to china

source? china didn't even mention negotiations, that's a straight up lie

assuming your analogy is correct, when will my wheelchair be taken away?
when the tariff policies hit, the asian market indices immediately plummeted, however so far this week the american market indices have remained stable.
also using a body part is a bad analogy because at one point in time, america was untamed wilderness until we developed it from scratch.
it’s cheaper to renovate existing infrastructure than build it from scratch.

Friendly reminder trade deficits is fine as long as it's not China

If everyone laughs at them they wouldn't be worth so much money. Shit, people have gotten in fights at Costco over Pokemon cards. Cards. Little strips of paper. Video games. Movies. Gadgets gadgets gadgets everyone's gotta have it all! Black Friday sales! Memorial Day sales! 4th of July sales!

You claim to be a minimalist but you are not the average American. The average American is thousands of dollars in credit card debt because they're shopping addicts.

Thus you live in this fictitious world that you'll bring manufacturing back that will simultaneously keep every American employment but also make so Americans are all minimalists that don't buy anything. Guess what happens when Americans are 330 million that think like you? No Americans would have jobs.

Trump gracefully offers China an off ramp after slapping it with tarrifs

ie. He admits defeat and accepts Chinese economic hegemony. In order for Chinese economic control over America to be broken tariffs must be maintained and manufacturing relocated.

please daddy Xi, of Great Leader and Holder of Heavens Mandate, Rider of the Asian Dragon, oh mighty Xi, please let me suck your Big Chink Cock daddy I'll slut it up for you t. drumpfy

Another day another win, magasisters!!!!!!!

No Americans would have jobs.

thank you for calming down.
all of that bullshit like funko pops and pokemon cards are not manufactured here anyway, so why would americans suddenly not have jobs if we stopped buying plastic shit from china?

Manufacturing is already being relocated.

Trump paused all tarrifs EXCEPT those on Chinka.

Manufacturing is already being relocated.

Absolute delusion

Trump paused all tarrifs EXCEPT those on Chinka.

ie. He caved just like he's caving to Xi. >Tank the stock market, say "oopsie" and reverse all of your decisions while claiming it's 4d chess and you are winning bigly

You never did answer how old your Internet device is lol.

A) nobody is going stol buying plastic shit. Again most Americans are in thousands of dollars of credit card debt

B) You want to reconfigure the American economy around you, Mr. minimalist who only buys things when necessary. Most Americans don't live like that. American culture is built around excess so the vast majority of American jobs cater to American excess.

Tell me why do Americans go to McDonald's when it's cheaper to make food at home?

aren't any unitedstatian alternatives to most of their products

Because manufacturers will just move to Vietnam and India and a host of other developing nations instead retard.
China has to make a choice about how much protectionist policy they maintain, knowing that every protectionist policy they leave up will mean a higher tariff when all is said and done, and if they want to stop supply chains from shifting out of China they will have to lower their profit margins in order to remain competitive with other developing nations.
They have a fairly large window to do this because it takes many months and even years for these supply chains to shift, but they have to settle on how much protection they would to keep up and how much tariff they are willing to bear, and they need to settle soon otherwise supply chains will begin to shift regardless due to just the uncertainty about the future.
IF all of this tariff stuff was just about bringing China to heel then it was very well played by Trump. I kinda doubt that is the case. I think he did have broader goals with the tariffs that he realised was not going to be feasible, and so has pivoted the objective to a more realistic but still significant objective of changing the dynamic of the relationship with China.

dang, i kind of want to tariff some of the yuropoors who chimp out all the time like germs, britbongs, polacks, as well as the north american indian colony that currently calls itself canada.
im on a tablet i bought back in 2014. it’s the first and only one i own.
americans don’t go to mcdonalds as much including me since mcdonalds became too expensive.
anyway i see your point.

the whole globe thinks this certain way!

so globalism.... le good?

Trump might actually achieve globalism by uniting the world against his retardation, maybe that's his 5D chess

Says the kike on a proxy

Because manufacturers will just move to Vietnam

So the answer to Chinese communists "ripping us off with trade" is to just set shop in socialist Vietnam instead? Literally what does that achieve?

Keeping in mind that those factories will most likely be controlled by Chinese anyway, through suppliers and/or ownership.

It's pretty clear that MIGAtards are just acting out of anger and have not thought this through.

If you want to relocate some supply chains to America there are more sensible ways to do, including unironically what Sleepy Joe was doing (although I would agree that the entire DEI part of that was garbage).

negotiating is caving in

the system is when the jewish billionaire becomes a slightly less of a billionaire and the single widow buys $30 eggs and a $2000 phone

we did it migabros...we defeated the jew

Do you think most Americans own only one Internet capable device that's over 10 years old? How would American companies like Apple ever survive (even if they made their products in America)?

McDonald's

Actually McDonald's posted 14.7 billion dollar profit in 2024, the highest it's EVER been. So clearly Americans ARE buying McDonald's that they're able to have the highest profile. Now sure McDonald's has closed a few locations in the US since their peak in 2018 at around 1440 US stores, but their current stores are less than 5% under that number. So clearly Americans are buying LOTS of McDonald's.

You cannot employ 330 million people and while having minimalist mindset. It doesn't compute.

Magatards be like

BASED TRUMP, DEATH TO CHINA

China imposes reciprocal tariffs

WHO NEEDS TO BUY CHINK SHIT

Trump negotiates with China and the tariffs go back to where it was a month ago. Earns millions from insider trading and pnd the stock market like a crypto casino

BASED TRUMP, 5D CHESS, ART OF THE DEAL

The art of the deal

i did look up their stocks prior to responding and yes they have increased over the last 5 years despite the palpable price increase, so im just citing myself as a line of evidence.
it’s inevitable that less people, despite the index, will consume less mcdonalds due to increase in price.
i think people are still buying mcdonalds because they do not have the time for meal prep because they’re working overtime and can’t.

2pbtid cope

The difference between Vietnam plus every other developing nation and China is that China in not an open market for American businesses. They do not allow US tech to operate there. They do not allow foreign cars to be sold there unless they partner with Chinese firms to produce within the country. In fact no foreign company can do business at any scale in China without partnering with a CCP owned business. There is no Amazon or Walmart in China. No facebook or Google. The only reason Apple is allowed to sell in China is because they produce in China.
It honestly insane that the US allowed this state of affairs. The market cap of the major US companies would be substantially larger if they had been allowed to enter China during their growth periods instead of being excluded while China developed home grown alternatives (often with stolen IP which American companies can't even challenge in Chinese court).
And that doesn't even touch on China's currency manipulation. If China wasn't keeping their currency so artificially low then they would have shifted into a more advanced economy closer to fully developed nations. The US as the major exporter of global services has a lot to offer advanced economies. So they have prevented themselves from become an attractive market for US companies artificially.
Vietnam doesn't do this. India doesn't do this. The difference should be so obvious that frankly I shouldn't even have to explain it.

this whole tariff debacle really opened my eyes how insanely retarded mutts are

Are white Americans the dumbest shits on the planet?

k, remove yours on our exports then.

It honestly insane that the US allowed this state of affairs

No it isn't. Youi just don't understand the game, because it's beyond your cognitive capabilities

Post HK stock market data

There is no infrastructure to renovate.
You're gonna have to build from scratch.

the asian market indices immediately plummeted, however so far this week the american market indices

You're schizophrenic.
China's and Hong Kong crashes were a lot less than America's.
Japan's and south korea crashing is china winning

Okay then explain it Einstein

Trump did nothing again

wowie!

Hes giving him a chance to be gracious and accept the deal to not lose face.

nah.
with the stroke of a pen we get money from other countries.

They basically are the white trash of Europe that were able to infest an entire continent because it was untapped and full of resources and reproduce their trash genes.

Now they can’t compete as a global hegemon so they are throwing a tantrum

And those countries are....?

People, like india

Jeets are not people

Europe, Japan and south Korea are all getting closer to china

No they're not lol

Capture.jpg - 603x125, 13.45K

china for now mainly
their company’s profit margins eat the cost.

oh no, they'll have to unload .....1% (their surplus trade with usa) of their gdp to somebody else

Dimon called Donnie. Now Donnie has to bent the knee for the greater good. Greater good means as always jewish interests.

their company’s profit margins eat the cost.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHA

Dito

china dumps U.S. treasuries

nothin personal kid

Don't laugh, they're serious. lmao

How are they losing profit margins when their main business is manufacturing parts for American companies who will lose profit margins when the tarrifs hit them and they have to either mark up the price or sell at a loss?

you seem very very confused on how tarrifs work, trump was counting on that when he got you to vote for him

because of the opportunity cost of their items not entering our market which is significant given the trade deficit.

Buy iPhones now sell them later when they hit record process due to tarrifs.

That makes no sense. If their stuff isn’t entering the US market, you're the ones losing access to cheap parts and goods, which you rely on, they’re still manufacturing and selling to other countries, Meanwhile American companies eat the costs or pass them to consumers. That’s how tariffs work, You're still not getting it.

Hmmm, let's see.
I liked trump, so I'd be glad if I'm proven wrong

It takes zero time to assemble a cold cut deli sandwich. McDonald's doesn't save time (people may think it does). As I indicated the appeal of McDonald's is excess. I understand how routine it is, but the drive through as a concept is so cool. It's so uniquely American excessive (excessivenes for the masses).

But it drives home the point why the American mindset and economy is the way it is. You can criticize both McDonald's and Americas for celebrating dietary excess, but McDonald's also employs something like 150k Americans directly and, although I've seen differing numbers something like 1.3 million Americans through all franchises. And that's kinda the whole point where if Americans were on the whole healthier and better with their money, fewer people would be employed by McDonald's. That's a huge point that I'm making...you cannot be an advocate of minimalism and an advocate for full employment in a capitalist society. They cannot coexist.

Xi is a smart guy and we'll end up making a very good deal

one of the smartest people in the world

Xi is a man who knows exactly what has to be done, he loves his country

We will get a phone call at some point and then it's off to the races

Why would they pay any opportunity cost when their costumers (fat mutts) have no other option than to keep buying from them and paying the increase cost with their decreased wages?

you’re not getting it

a huge portion of chinese exports are goods with elastic demand, so an increase in price will greatly reduce their demand.
sure, but we can if we are manufacturing things other than sandwiches competitively.

What's even funnier is that all governments of the Western world deliberately altered domestic and international trade laws (and it took them literally years to write up and get the new laws passed) in order to purposefully remove their own industrial clout, manufacturing power, scientific intelligence and know-how and domestic skilled employment and employment in general...and HAND IT FOR FREE to China and subsequently many other 3rd world "nations" nobody wants to live in. That was decades ago. Naturally, western govs had NO IDEA these measures would weaken their own nations. Hahahaha. That last part is a joke by the way.

But this increase in price will only happen in the US.
China already reduced trade with the us in first trump term. Or they sell through mexico.
Why will china be affected

jewSA is literally russia tier of embarrassing. No wonder both feel a spiritual connection.

Sure, but we can if we are manufacturing things other than sandwiches competitively.

Again, you run into the problem I illustrated earlier. What happens when the American who producers gamers has sold a hammer to every American? What does he do now. You all have gamers he made.

AHAHHAHAHAHAHHA FUCKING LOSER
AND MUTTS WERE CALLING HIM SOME MASTERMIND YESTERDAY
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

Hammers. Autocorrect for the loss. Hammers

tariffs are higher than before

price of goods increases

not a single factory opens in America

It's all just for more money for his tax cuts for rich kikes and globalist corporations;

Let me ask you something. If the chinese are so smart as they claim to be how come they didn't invented the bicycle?

the whole globe like to breathe air

breathing air is globalist agenda now

It's the US economy and not globalism that Trump is destroying.
World economy and international trade will be fine without your participation.

chinese exporters will eat the cost.

this is so fucking stupid lmao

because unlike spain, it is important to china to sell shit to us “fat mutts”
what’s a “costumer”?
spic.

sell through mexico

we have now imposed tariffs on them too.

why will china be affected

because our country literally imports more relative to what we export than entire continents (see attached)
job site training

Trump is the textbook example of all talk no action.
The stereotypical big loud dumbass trying to act tough but they're actually a total pussy. It's why Xi and Putin are walking all over him and he doesn't even realize it.

How is MIGA spinning this as some kind of 'win' for Trump anyway?

Never, they hate each other more then you could ever understand

If Chinks really want to humiliate mutts on a global scale they should surround Taiwan with their Navy and watch the impotent DC mafia get on their knees and beg Beiging.

Mutt cards are really weak.

True, but you could have tarrifed China from the start.
Trump thought he could just impose tariffs on the whole world and get away with it, but the markets reacted, and he backed down.

US makes up 20% of their exports. There isn't "somebody else". Plus, China was already selling to everybody in the first place. You can't replace the US market. There is nobody else.

yeah i noticed.
pretty pissed about that because it was the one good thing he did.

job site training

Job site training doing what? You're saying the American man who build the best hammer ever in the history of hammers now is forced to do something else? You call that freedom? Or rewarding success?

I dunno this reminds me of all the "epic dealmaking" Trump was doing in his first term, which ended up being a ring around the rosey leading to nowhere

You don't seem to understand how treasuries work

oh whoops i misread your question, i thought you were asking how does a generation of gamers go from that to building a hammer.
ideally what happens is that an industry tree develops and those who make hammers by virtue of doing so would innovate and spawn new industries.
consider how chinese drone manufacturers have now made a tetracopter (flying car built like a drone) that could potentially be manufactured in scale for the average consumer.

"us exports" (or the net trade surplus with amerifats is just 1.5% of gdp.

China itself and asean are so big it makes us trade irrelevant.

Trump crac6in is a pussy bitch who wond do shit, he will always back down like the little pussy cracker he is.

that just isn't true. there isn't a larger market with more consumers than the US. if it was true, none of this shit would even be going on and China would just say fuck it and trade with itself. it can't though. their economy relies on the dollar.

BRICS NEWS

Yeah, we've already heard many times how the media lies and Trump isn't backing down. Until he literally says so, assume to zero.

This superior nation is your neighbour and your race.

That was my fault. Autocorrect turned hammers into gamers.

ideally what happens is that an industry tree develops and those who make hammers by virtue of doing so would innovate and spawn new industries.

Which is effectively achieving the same thing as planned obscellence, which is right say, "oh that hammer we made that won't break because it's the best hammer to ever hammer, well now you need this AUTOMATIC hammer so you don't have to worry about swinging your hammer ever again". You're doing the same thing and now you're becoming the antithesis of minimalism. You're attempting to cater and market tiny edge cases purely to keep food on the table.

consider how chinese drone manufacturers have now made a tetracopter (flying car built like a drone) that could potentially be manufactured in scale for the average consumer

If somebody has a car, why do they need a FLYING car?

can't you fucking read, you stupid nigger?
go look up chinese GDP, then go look up china's trade surplus with USA and calculate the %.

this is happening because ameriniggers have a vastly disproportionate perception of their relevance in world trade and thought they could start a trade war without factories and 40tn in debt.

idk man having a flying car would be pretty badass.

Are you retarded

without factories.

US is the #2 manufacturer in the world behind China. why are gypos so dumb?

everyone that matters kisesed the ring and have a 90 day suspension with only 10% reciprocation tariffs

Red Chyna was always the object, and this is punishment for FUCKING BIOWEAPONS and ELECTION FORTIFICATION by other means. White Devils can read Sneed Tzu (not that it matters since Mao retroactively refuted him by way of Clausewitz).

manufacturer of what, nigger? gay porn and ponzi schemes?

what exactly is "made in usa" in your trailer?

google it yourself, retard. i've got other chink simps to troll.

yes.
why are you asking a retard if he’s retarded?

Some Amerifats have a peculiar mindset where they absolutely under all circumstances, refuse to cook. It's not about time or effort or health. McDonalds figured this out during Covid and jacked prices to the moon losing customers but increasing profits

This is a war the free masonic west has declared on China, Zhang. They won't cease and dissist till either you cave to their demands or you commit yourselves to properly target them and tuck their shit in very gentlemen like.

Who is paying you retards?
Sorry 10center you aren't getting us to back down, no amount of BRICS NEWS is going to change things.

A one liner quip isn't continuing the discussion.

They are doing that deliberately.
China has enormous trade surplus and yuan is strongly undervalued relatively to where it would trade by itself.
It's always possible to weaken your own currency by printing more of it and buying foreign currency

i accept your concession

i accept that you are retarded. not my prob

wait in line

Vlad was here first

Talk about negotiation

So what?
Come back to me when us decrease their tariffs with China

sure.
it’s better to sell goods that are inelastic in demand that elastic since it’s a more stable market for those goods.
anyway, im not disagreeing with your statement.

Trump apparently forgot what the bond market even was then found out and he blinked on the tariffs. A fat loser followed by other losers

impose tarrifs on the country that makes half your shit

So all that shit, what happens to it? What about the companies that made it?

President Trump is ending duty-free de minimis treatment for covered goods from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Hong Kong starting May 2, 2025 at 12:01 a.m. EDT.

Imported goods sent through means other than the international postal network that are valued at or under $800 and that would otherwise qualify for the de minimis exemption will be subject to all applicable duties, which shall be paid in accordance with applicable entry and payment procedures.
All relevant postal items containing goods that are sent through the international postal network that are valued at or under $800 and that would otherwise qualify for the de minimis exemption are subject to a duty rate of either 30% of their value or $25 per item (increasing to $50 per item after June 1, 2025). This is in lieu of any other duties, including those imposed by prior Orders.
But he just did impose tariffs on everyone. A flat 10% at that. There's also the fact that any Chang goods are going to get fucked. The company I am working for right now, has taken off any Chang goods being sold in the US because of the import changes. Like literally no chinaman products at all.

If everyone sold goods that are inelastic, we wouldn't even HAVE hammers. This is where specialization of efforts, materials, etc all come into play. And why circling back to the appeal of cheap shit sometimes you just need something to help you do one specific task you only need to do once. This is why the appeal of having elastic goods that are cheap AND disposable in terms of both cost and material. This reality is why it makes it extremely difficult for Americans to pivot back to a largely manufacturing economy while still keeping the American standard of living.

Always have been.
Federalize Europe!

100%, Trump is a dumbass.

We are gonna lose this trade war.

leftists on the left

liberals on the right

You thought you were making a point with this, didn't you?

all countries have zero trade deficit with themselves, would that mean you can end all internal commerce and it would have no effect? since the trade surplus is 0% in that case
