Why didn't trump take care of it when he was president before? Neither Pelosi nor Schumer have ever been president.[/quote]

He did. He put tariffs on China last time and the Dems complained a lot…and then Biden kept all of them. See the bans on Chinese EVs for example.

You can’t make this stuff up.[/quote]

DP. I did a fact check with Grok and you are correct. Biden kept most of the tariffs in place. I then asked Grok what the results were of the tariffs, and this was the response:

"The tariffs benefited the U.S. in narrow, targeted ways—bolstering certain industries and signaling resolve—but [b]their broader economic impact was negative or neutral[/b]. [b]They raised costs for consumers, failed to shrink the trade deficit significantly, and didn’t deliver a manufacturing renaissance.[/b] Strategically, [b]they shifted U.S.-China relations toward confrontation[/b], a stance Biden has largely continued, but[b] the tangible economic wins were modest compared to the costs[/b]. [b]Economists remain split[/b]: free-trade advocates call them a failure, while protectionists argue they laid groundwork for long-term gains still unfolding as of April 9, 2025."
