The stupidity. It hurts. [/quote]

If there is a trade war some things may become unavailable. [/quote]

We have been in a “trade war” for some time now.

In many cases, Chinese manufacturers will lower prices to offset the tariffs the US importers will have to pay. Consumers may see a slight increase in prices but nothing huge.

I’m not a fan of tariffs but I also know that the sky is not falling.[/quote]

That will subject them to anti-dumping cases. [/quote]

Have you seen the long list of Chinese antidumping cases? And the tariffs already on the Chinese goods? And the fact that those Chinese goods are still being sold in the US market at competitive prices even with high tariffs?

China has a subsidized export economy. It’s export or die for them. We have a massive import side of our economy, for better or worse. The idea behind the tariffs is that we import less and make more. We’re not structured well to make more but attempting to shift our import to export ratio isn’t the most insane concept (and, no, I didn’t vote for him). We’ll survive the tariffs.[/quote]
