Anybody with a little bit of sense would know that having to pay 30% to
150% more for goods from China is not a good thing. The Chinese will
have to pay 10% more for stuff from America. None of this makes for a
great time for anybody. It's mostly a scam to get people to pay more for
stuff. It'll take time for people like you to come around and figure
this out. Boy is yoose gonna look stupid.

30% to 150%? I didn't follow closely, but didn't Trump roll most of
that nonsense back after talking to the Chinese?

Trump increased tariffs on Chinese goods from about 5-8% to 20% in 2018.
Even at the "rolled-back" 30%, we're still paying more than we were.

Or, of course, he could be lying about it.  Always a possibility.
However, "The Chinese are taking advantage of us because we buy more of
their stuff than they buy of our stuff" sounds just like his zero-sum
worldview.

Australia imports much more from the US than the US imports from
Australia. Yet, Australia's also threatened with tariffs or already
has them imposed, not sure. He doesn't make any sense.
