"Trump, in his folly, believes that tariffs are like a magic wand that can accomplish any goal, any time, all at once - but pushing China out of its spot will require a lot more than that."
My biggest beef with Trump and his tariff "policies" is that it's like he put no thought into it, lol. It's like he still hasn't asked himself: "ok, if we do away with all Chinese imports, how long will it take America to start making all of that stuff domestically ? " If he had shown some foresight, he might have thought about ramping this up over a few years, minimum.
But no, Trump thinks he can bully foreign nations ( not just China ) like he bullies Mom and Pop
contractors and laborers who do work for him, and then find out Trump is gonna pay them
pennies on the dollar, and whatcha gonna do about it ?
Trump does not believe in contractual obligations, there are a million examples of that.
Trump will break trade pacts that he initiated !!
So other nations will play with him, but they almost certainly are 100% certain that any
agreement signed with Trump is virtually worthless. They are almost certainly going to take
steps to make sure they are not reliant on Trump and America. Trump has done some real
damage.
And this is still just the start. I expect PLENTY more stupid stuff coming from the Trump admin over the next 3 years and 8 months. Going to enjoy watching the magic of the Big Beautiful Bill unfold. Trump has made so many promises that he and MAGA cannot possibly keep, to Americans.
And yeah, I know he'll just lie or deny all of it, it's worked for him so far, lol.
