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.

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.

So buy less stuff? And more American stuff? Sorry it’s really not that hard guys.

Suck it, Libs!

Good grief.

He was surprised by the market response…has he never spoken to an economist in his life.

Also, FYI everyone, Bessent just said 30% is the floor. Prepared to get screwed even more by the felon in [checks calendar] 90 days.

No, this is the climb down. They are trying to back away from their dumb tariff policies without appearing like they caved.

China won't let them back away. Trump broke the seal and Xi will humiliate him.

1) You are not factoring the bulk purchases and heavy equipment and technical supplies purchased by US companies - and those prices are all passed on to the consumers.
2) the impetus from Trump for all of this was to re-shore manufacturing, something that had already started under Biden but has now dried up. So a total fail on that front.

You all are really impatient, give it a chance. Do you even have a business?

You are ridiculous. I make about a $1m a year. I am buying nothing. The tariffs won't affect me, but I just have no desire. I cannot believe how stupid people are to believe that he would help this country economically. Soon regular people won't be able to afford things and my friends and I don't want to buy anything. That ain't good for the economy.
