Gangster in the WH

If we dumped a few billion in cash on the tarmac in Beijing I'm sure the ChiComs would be nicer to us.
Or, tell them to "knock it off". That will surely work.

We do know that Trump’s threats are credible. He began saying how much he loved tariffs long before he ran for office. The irony is that his protectionist stance could pave the way for freer trade, first with China and then with the European Union.


That's kind of important for a change

Who knows if the new TUFF on China approach will work or not. But we do know that the old approach wasn't.

I like free trade with allies and frens. Maybe China just doesn't want to be our fren.

Something had to be done. Ignoring the problem wasn't working. China's theft of US intellectual property was costing us billions.

Either way it will cost us billions.

My company is being hit with the tariffs. Guess what? In the short-medium term, we aren't going to resource components away from the suppliers. Nope. That takes time and $.

We will pass the tariff along to our customer, who in turn will pass it along to their customer, who will pass it along to their customer, who will pass it along to their customer, who will pass it along to their customer, who will pass it along to the citizens of the US in the form of higher prices.

Assuming they want to by the crap you import from China

I guess white trash needs those cheap knock off stolen goods, right @CirrhosisDawg ?

Be a better business man and stop relying on crap to make a buck

Tariffs equal free trade
War is peace
$1 billion losses equal profit
We have to destroy markets to save them
Protectionism equals free markets
