Just yesterday he said he wasn't considering a pause on the other tariffs. You can't believe a thing he says.

[TamNguyen-wfuk]

Then tomorrow comes : "You know what? Another 400% tariff for my friend Xi"

[silvahawk]

Bro didn't expect china to slap back, so now he tries to call Xi smart to "quietly" tell him to stop while threatening with "weapons" that the US has 🤣

[herociouz]

Come on, Donnie. Only 125%? Don't get us down. Raise it to 1000%. What's stopping you? You chicken out already?

[lambertois]

Once the Trumps tariffs have reached 54%, increasing the tariffs to 84% or 105% make little difference ! This is just a show!

[ashokpadhy]

"We calculated it very carefully". hmm sure..

[WealPower-nq]

Who said anything about weapons?! This guy is making threats...

[danlee]

once tariffs exceeded 50%, any excess tariffs is in fact just a symbolic statement.China exporters just stop selling.

[soothingmoments]

It's market manipulation for his rich friends

[mrg]

Most powerful weaponary but lost to famers in Vietnam and sheep hearders in Afghanistan.

At this moment, China is the only nation that can teach Trump a lesson. But it doesn't seem like he got it because, huh?, he is talking about weapons. More lessons needed.

[sanaehakurei]

China wait this for years dude, their are fully prepared and you offer them the chance to do so

[lindylaroche]

HE IS MERELY DOING MARKET MANIPULATION ONLY AT EVERYONES EXPENSE EXCEPT HIM & HIS OLIGARCHS!

[lynda]

"We calculated it very carefully" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 As carefully as they calculated the tariffs on imports from Heard & McDonald islands. 🤣

[jimbarron]

Bluffing and shitting his pants all at the same time.

[axdunlop]

I doubt China will contact the USA again after vance called them peasants. Neither Trump or Vance understand Chinese culture, this insult will be hard to overcome.

[Taecoconut]

Folding. He literally is sucking up & wishing China will actually call them 😂 CCP has ignored the WH the entire time

[borisreljanovic]

There's dumb.
There's EXTRA dumb.
Then there's MAGA Trump dumb...

[CpttCanada]

I can't believe he is still telling the Canadian dairy lie.

[bonbon_ann]

Never underestimate the negotiating power of the penguins.
