A bunch of idiots who don't know how tariffs work. China won't be the ones paying. U.S. consumers will be paying the tariffs. If you want American made products, expect to pay higher prices.

"Protect american manufacturing" we have no manufacturing left. What do we even make anymore? Mid-tier car parts, conductive material, and crops.

I just Googled the percentage of goods that Walmart imports from China and it is about 70-80 percent. Better stock up now folks!

Does anyone here realize the reason our economy is number one is because of the trade we do globablly? If we put tariffs on other countries stuff they will do the same with our products. Which means less profit for our comapnies while also making our own markets more expensive. Seems really stupid to do that.

To move most of the manufacturing back here to the US will raise inflation like no one has ever seen . The millionaires that control the money in this country won't take the hit in pay . Those companies pay people very little overseas and make millions . Paying workers here in the US will take a huge bite out of the bottom line and it won't ever happen.

All of us will pay for the differences. If they raise we will pay for it.

A lot of Americans were saying that there was no way a convicted felon could be elected president but the people voted and said we want Barabas. Careful what you ask for.

For starters, USA has a HIGH cost of living (especially high rents and high mortgage costs for the 99% of people in the USA), not just the biggest coastal cities, thus making USA wages being much higher than China wages virtually necessary

[ragnarokws]

Americans say made in China product quality not good but they forgot the price they pay is deep cheap 😂 you pay what you get.

[stinsoncal]

Taiwan is called ROC/Taiwan, and they are a self-ruled democratic island!

[wendyandri]

Since Trump 2016 term, our relationship w China has gone to hell. We do not want them as a foe.

[InfiniteEntendre]

Man oh man, can’t believe there are still voting age adults who don’t know what a tariff is. I just BEG y’all to vote democrat next time when NO prices go down and inflation goes up. It’s your fault so own it. See ya in 4 years.

Tell how that going to work when Americans are working for healthcare. So many obese people, many don’t want to work, and many on disability. How US will be great when the citizen health is very poor.
