He's a feral dog with a bone. Tariffs will last the full term and cause irreparable damage to America's economy and reputation.

This won't buff out.
 
Honestly, there's no telling. He's not all that bright, our mad orange king.

Trump's tariff strategy with China is relatively straightforward:

1. Announce tariffs
2. Delay tariffs
3. Raise tariffs
4. Delay tariffs again
5. 11th hour delay on tariffs taking effect
6. Declare victory
7. Put tariffs into effect
8. Withdraw tariffs 24 hours later
9. Demonize China for its tariffs, threaten new tariffs
10. Declare a deal has been reached, share no details about it
11. Announce new tariffs claiming the deal was broken
12. Delay new tariffs because of Great Compassion
13. Increase threatened tariffs
14. Announce a 30 day delay to the new tariffs
15. Put new tariffs into effect 48 hours after previous announcement
16. Announce that the tariffs never went into effect and yet raised enormous monies
17. Announce the withdrawl of tariffs due to a new Deal
18. Go to Step 1 and repeat

No way of knowing. It all depends upon China.

LOL. Right. Trumpy's Treasury Secretary just said that it's up to China to deescalate the trade tensions that trump escalated with his ill-considered trade war.
Because trump said so.
Does this actually make sense to you, or did you just get your talking points memo?

You skipped over the very first step'; Trumpy like to "preannounce" his announcements.
So Step 1 is always "Announce an upcoming announcement, after which we will be taking some action."
THEN
delay,
raise,
lower,
pause,
reverse,
or withdraw.

Exactly.
Much like how trumpy says that Ukraine provoked Russia by having Russia invade them.
Or something.

Sounds like a bad strategy since China's working on other deals and doesn't seem in a rush talk.

shrug...

China will do what they think they need to do.

Or at least 1 year or 1.5 years. Depending on the Dems' performance in the midterms.

Yep, and since they've been busy removing dependency on the US over the past few years, what they "need to do" can be doing little while the US starts feeling the impacts.

I predict they'll do what they did the last time...

You mean not buy the additional agricultural products they said they would?

No, I mean they'll devalue their own currency and they'll subsidize their own manufactures.
 
I don't really care about the tariffs on China because we need to cut off our dependency on them. Indications are they don't seem to want to negotiate a fair deal with us, so oh well, we'll make deals with other countries.

Which aren't really working out either...unless you are talking about small nations that don't really do anything for us of any great significance and territories of other nations populated with penguins.

Which would also be an indicator that Trump's plan isn't really working. Just like when he started the trade war with China in his first term: no one won that one and it's still going on (yes, I'm including Biden in that).

At least this time, he isn't procuring copyright agreements for his daughter while in the middle of said trade war with China...

Which is exactly why no sane business owner would build a factory here.

No. It shows the tariffs are working and that China is desperate.

The only reason Trump didn't bring China to their knees during his first term is that he ran out of time. He has four years now.

He didn't do that before.

Lol
China is doing a woodshed job on the sex offender. All they have to do is……nothing. They’ll wait for the American people to get sick of the depression the tariffs will cause and vote out the repulsicans. Xi doesn’t have to worry about that. And the Chinese are much more likely to tolerate hardship than we are.
Looking at it any other way is just another MAGAT hallucination.
