We started it

Are you kidding? China has been taking advantage of our stupid desire for cheap crap for decades now. They've essentially built all of those shiny new buildings and trains with our dollars. Trump has been saying this for years, even before he ran for president. China gets years and years of 5-7% growth while we get poisonous trash. Sorry that Trump is trying to do something about it. I don't know if it will work but I know for sure we can't go on much longer the way we've been doing things. The same is mostly true about Europe as well, along with the fact they get almost free protection from Russia and everyone else for thr last 75 years.

That would not even come close to making America collapse. It could cause an uptick in inflation, but that would not be huge.

yeah, they are going to have to negotiate. 145% tariffs aren’t permanent. we all already knew this. what else?

eta: I’m not sure why any American would want us to lose or would be celebrating us potentially losing a tariff war against China. wait….yes I do. How Centristing

Well then, that really puts us in a tough spot. We'll need to decide between "NUTS!" or "Come and take it!" as a reply.
