President Donald Trump isn’t playing games with Communist China anymore.

Trump has unleashed a crushing 104% tariff on Communist China, effective immediately.

According to Fox Business, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dropped the bombshell earlier today, confirming that the tariffs kicked in at noon ET. Why? Because China’s commie overlords refused to back down from their own retaliatory duties on American goods.

According to FOX Business Network’s Edward Lawrence, the White House made the move swiftly and decisively. . . “White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says 104% additional tariffs went into effect at noon eastern time because China has not removed its retaliation,” Lawrence reported. “The 104% additional tariff will be collected starting tomorrow, April 9th.” . .

At this rate, it will soon be much cheaper to open factories here, pay Americans real wages, and produce all that we need here.

I'd love to see that.

Will it happen?

No, they'll simply go to Viet Nam or one of the other countries that has negotiated low or no tariff.

Then the US will quickly develop a large trade deficit with that country. Trump will raise tariffs on them.

Now this is the one Americans will feel. Tariffs on Canada? Negligible. But most Americans buy Chinese.

Yes, thank you. I’m amazed most people don’t see this.

…and much more short term pain for China.

China needs the US more than the US needs China. China does not have a strong bargaining position here and Trump knows it.

Not the expensive ones anyway.

When everything is double the price, that adds up quick.

I tend to picture you having a sufficient inventory of most parts to coast through the tariff wars unscathed.

Those parts should be even cheaper after the tariff wars.
