Tariffs are justified, everyone else does this to us.

Well, I do not know if the US is taking the right approach, but the US has been getting the shaft on trade for a couple of decades now.

I do find it hilarious the reaction to the US doing this, yet silence on the fact other countries do this to us.

Looks like the use of quotas, rather than tariffs.

Trump is more bothered by China is making a lot of money in global trade, then tariffs on self combating "unfair trade" isn't good as a weapon. That'd be like shooting oneself because of loosing a fight, would it? In the end, China would be fine because of its dominating global trade position. High prices, shortages in products just bring inflation, crashing the stock market.

All depends on if people want to pay more for things...
wages will have to increase too to keep up....means inflation...
which is good for me ....higher interest rates...means more money for me flowing in

"Everyone" else does NOT do this to you.

You need to do some simple research as to how many tariffs the U.S. has imposed on some foreign goods versus where those goods originate from and compare how they impose tariffs against the U.S.

"Everyone" is incorrect.

Trump supporters are just so completely clueless, just like their president!!! Keep watching Fox News and Sinclair’s Real fake news that they put out!
Seriously though, trade wars are good? Ridiculous!
