Great job, trump is art of the deal. Libs can't handle it they want Chyna to win |
For the love of god, it is China, not Chyna! |
What happened to all of that manufacturing that was going to come back because tariffs were at 145%?
Meanwhile, Trump is enriching himself everywhere. His sons are going around the world making personal deals for the Trumps and using the tariffs as leverage. Trump's grandkids will have 30 dolls this Christmas, yours won't. People are so dumb. |
We would have made more money if he kept the original tariffs- short term pain for long term gain! Why is he chickening out of this? |
US consumers ar now going to pay 30% more than what they paid in Janaury. Trump got ZERO concessions from China. Trump let China win. Libs are upset because the US/Trump got played. What aren't you upset too? |
Exactly, the deal is the deal. For all the bluster we're now at 30% higher prices. |
It’s bad enough that Trump’s in charge but how do people not understand basic math? It’s 30% of the imported cost, not price! So if a company previously paid $5 for some plastic sh*t with no tariff and then charged customers $20, the new tariff will be $1.50 (ie 30% of $5) and the new price would be $21.50 (plus a further adjustment of sales tax) if they pass on the full tariff. |
Right, it’s really not that much. And he’ll probably negotiate down to zero, china just needs to make more concessions such as buying more beef. We are on the right track with Trump at the helm. |
Trump has already proven to be the master of stepping on a rake and hitting his head. China has no reason to give Trump ANY concessions. This whole episode has demonstrated that the US is dependent on China, not the other way around. |
Oh, and just because there is a deal doesn't mean container ships full of supplies start showing up again later this week. The US will still have some supply chain issues this summer. |
So, the UK has agreed to a new more favorable trade framework. China is at the negotiating table. Drug prices will be lower. The last American hostage is being released by Hamas. There is now an American Pope. And we’re getting a free airplane.
Suck it, Libs! |
The US had a trade surplus with the UK...there was nothing to negotiate, the US already had a favorable trade framework. The US now has a worse tariff and trade agreement with China than we had before Trump took office. Not a win. Drug prices were already lowered by Biden. Great on the hostages. If Trump hadn't interfered, the same hostages would have been released last summer. American Pope is great. "We" aren't getting a free airplane, Trump is getting a free airplane. It isn't free though...you just don't know what Trump is giving the Qatari's in exchange. |
Wrong. You’re cr*p at math too. It’s only not much on cheap rubbish as its import cost is low. And even then, it amounts to an 8% increase in price. On your iPhone, dishwasher, building products, pharmaceuticals or laptop, the % increase will be even higher. So consider that anybody spending $50,000 a year on imported stuff (including imported foods), will pay a minimum of $4,000 more. If you are thinking this is about a bit more access for beef (what happened to moving factories and jobs to the US?!) then you’re dreaming. |
Pray tell exactly what benefits will the agreement with the UK bring the US? |
So buy less stuff? And more American stuff? Sorry it’s really not that hard guys. |
