Just like you said, so their consumers will buy less American products. Meanwhile, with just a 2% tariff Americans are buying Chinese goods like crazy. Result? Huge trade deficits. To much wealth leaving America. If we don't stop it now then it will stop itself when all of the wealth has left the country.

Trump proposed zero tariffs between the two countries. The Chinks turned him down flat. Won't even negotiate. They want to play the tariff game because they think they can beat us at it. Cowering punks, Clinton/Bush/Obama let the assholes get away with it without so much as a whimper.

Enter Trump telling the Chinese "Bullshit is over, bitches. We are going to charge you the same tariffs you charge us. If you want to negotiate fine. If you don't I'm putting big ass tariffs on all your products."

The only wingnut around here is you, brainsinquestion, for thinking that The Chinese charging us ten times what we've been charging them is free and fair trade.

Wise up.
Do you have any references how this is just a matter of the US catching up with the tariff's China previously imposed? Charging us 10x ?

I thought China's game was currency controls.

Enlighten me, please.
Do your own homework. It's well known the Chinese have been charging us 10X the tariffs we were charging them. 20% tariffs on American cars. That's what the bitchfight is all about.
Not so well known. The cars are like the best example, but we apparently export 6x the cars to China we import. Isn't that what we want!?

So why is that this bitchfight really all about? I would think bringing up car tariffs as an example is rather poorly chosen one by Trump.

Oh wait !

A red herring. Truth yet propaganda.

Again, I'm not even against the tariffs. If Trump wasn't such a sleazebag, I would listen more to him. The problem is he stands for nothing but pandering. Literally. He says so much random shit all over the map, it is pointless.

I mean the guy used to brag about how he wants to date his own daughter. Lol. In the normal world, thats code word for something quite disgusting. To Trump fans? I don't fucking know.
