This is what you get with a stable genius making economic decisions on a whim rather than a high-level staff of trained and experienced economists.

We are right where we want to be with China. Remember, they broke the deal with us & tried to renegotiate. We will be taking in Tens of Billions of Dollars in Tariffs from China. Buyers of product can make it themselves in the USA (ideal), or buy it from non-Tariffed countries...
....We will then spend (match or better) the money that China may no longer be spending with our Great Patriot Farmers (Agriculture), which is a small percentage of total Tariffs received, and distribute the food to starving people in nations around the world! GREAT! #MAGA

pretty sure that bankrupt soybean farmers aren't right where they want to be, but cool story, President Billion Dollar Loser, what could go wrong with an erratic old screwball helming the world's largest economy
You will devastate the MidWest and lose a portion of your base. China understood this. That’s why they didn’t negotiate.
Those tens of billions of dollars are paid for by US consumers in the form of an import tax. Per usual, Americans are funding this ego trip.
“The cost of Trump's tariffs has fallen 'entirely' on US businesses and households.” -Goldman Sachs
We will not be "taking in" a single penny from China. American businesses and consumers have to pay the tariffs. Prices are already going up, e.g., washing machines average $100 more now.
Elect an idiot, get idiotic policies. Sorry, I know most of you guys didn’t vote for him, but plenty of your compatriots did. What is more worrying than your domestic woes, his insane pronouncements and decisions have consequences across the entire world.
He will continue fucking Americans over, and some of the more ignorant ones will say "more please sir".
