  • Trump's new China trade deal is still bad for US business & consumers

    mentorsemblemmentorsemblem
    Trade was at the bottom among issues concerning 2024 voters. There was no urgency. 

    Only 6% considered it not important, and other categories are Extremely important 23%, Very important 39%, Somewhat important 33%.
    Being "at the bottom" doesn't mean "there was no urgency". "Not important" % is one of the lowest among all issues.

    Trade deficits were nowhere on anyone’s radar during the election that took place only months ago. Nobody voted for this.
    While campaigning for his second term as US president, Trump pledged even larger tariffs than his first term, including 60% on China, 100% on Mexico, and 20% on all other countries. He also proposed tariffs to penalize US companies that outsourced manufacturing, such as a 200% tariff on John Deere.

    ....
    - Universal baseline tariffs on most foreign products, which will increase incrementally if other countries manipulate their currency or "otherwise engage in unfair trading practices", and lowering taxes. Revoking China's Most Favored Nation trade status, gradually stopping all Chinese imports of essential goods, stopping American companies from investing in China, and banning federal contracts for any company that outsources to China.
    - Decreasing trade deficits, especially with China.

    When you repeat "user data" a million times, it completely loses its original meaning. Most users don’t actually care about data at all. Why should some unelected guy in a suit be the one making decisions for them?

    Every now and then I accidentally visit this site and see the same radicalized opinions.

    Trump is carrying out the mandate he received through a popular vote - whether you agree with it or not your opinion doesn't matter. Turn off the screen and go touch grass guys, sky is still blue, grass is green and Trump still not the Emporer.
