At the White House, Trump wrongly said that “China is now paying us billions of dollars in tariffs” and he celebrated the Treasury Department collecting “tremendous amounts of money, which is great for our country.”

In fact, tariffs are taxes that are paid by Americans who import goods from abroad.


And you can be certain his advisors have told him this little fact hundreds and hundreds of times. Still, he persists.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee

“BREAKING: China has imposed new tariffs on $60 billion of US goods in response to the latest round of tariffs imposed by President Trump.”

around 24% of Americans identify as Republican
23% of Americans think Roe v Wade should be reversed.

Did you read the link, or even just the headline if you're that lazy? It says 52% of Republicans don't think it should be reversed.

I can guarantee you he thinks this one passage from the book is the greatest threat to his presidency. This is one thing he just won't, can't ignore. He's incapable of not responding. He's going to tell Sanders to make a statement. God that would be brilliant.

I think we all pretty much knew he was going to have a tiny dick. He's the most outwardly insecure person I have ever seen. But I think it was the yeti pubes comment that made me want to throw up the most. barf.

So apparently this is an accurate description of the Presidents d*ck:

My head hurts so much trying to come to grips with how stupid this man is and how stupid we are for electing him.

So, do I want to drop the 'Red Don' moniker in favor of 'Mushroom Dick'?

Even more.

If China retaliates for the latest U.S. duties, Trump threatened Monday to add a further $267 billion in Chinese imports to the target list. That would raise the total affected by U.S. penalties to $517 billion — covering nearly everything China sells the United States.

Everything. Everything we import from China will be subject to tariffs.

Well, the Presidential Alert system, powered by FEMA, which will send a text to every single phone in the US (similar to severe weather alerts) has been delayed until October 3rd.

Fingers crossed that it is NOT a picture message.

China will run out of things to tariff long before we do in this war. Because the disparity is so large. But they will figure out other ways to punish us.

Doesn't matter. We need every possible export to them that we can make. If that amount falls by even a little due to tariffs, couple that with the increased costs on pretty much everything we import from China, it can only spell dramatic decline in our economy.


Get ready for the market crash.

This has to put serious inflationary pressure on the dollar, right?

I did a quick search and in 2016, China was ~21.4% of our total imports, 48% of our imported machines/electronics ($231 B w/ China), 45.2% of our imported consumer goods ($221 billion). Note that there's an overlap there.

Someone who knows trade and consumer data better than I do can probably find the slice of the economy pie this impacts. I don't know of an economic indicator that shows "gross consumption" by sector but I imagine those are fairly large chunks of what we buy in the US. I'm sure someone on here knows of one off hand.
