Still, still, most of Trump's fans will say that he is sticking it to these other countries who are "ripping us off" and that they are paying the tariffs.

Maga feeds on hype from Trump. Delicious empty calories the American style.

WASHINGTON — President Trump said Wednesday that he won’t lower tariffs topping 145% on Chinese goods to coax along trade talks — as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent prepares for a weekend sitdown with a delegation from Beijing.

“China says in order to have substantive negotiations, you have to bring down the 145% tariffs. Are you open to pulling back your tariffs in order to get China to the negotiating table?” a journalist asked Trump in the Oval Office.

“No,” Trump answered flatly — despite Bessent saying Tuesday he expects his talks in Switzerland with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng to be focused on “de-escalation” of tit-for-tat levies.

yesterday the moron said that...today its the opposite....

when dems retake power I hope they let liberals club trumptards as if they were baby seals LOL

Tariffs are just trumps idea of a federal sales tax. He is leaving the 10% tariffs in place. Rs have a history of taxing without calling it a tax ie. "fee" crazily done in Texas and now nation wide, the tariff.
