You're missing the big picture. The 100% is to buy the product, the remaining 55% is to fund the golf trips.

It's only going to get weirder. We're still in year one.

Yeah, I'm going to wait until China announces it before I believe it.
Wow, that's a sentence I wouldn't have expected to say just a few years ago.

For most things. I'm sure there'll be carve-outs for his bribers. We'll have to wait for details.

I depends. How much of a bribe are you willing to pay to trump's personal bank accounts?
u/joekar1990@lemmy.world · 5 points
Right. Like is that a base rate or is that just for steel and aluminum?
u/TachyonTele@lemm.ee · 44 points
Right. But does China know about this?
u/RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 36 points
This is still too high IMO. What are the carve-outs? EVs? iphones? laptops?

Yay, he raised taxes on the stuff we buy by 55%. Surely that will make prices go down.

Sure is great he solved Biden's non-existent inflation by raising prices on everything by 55%. Making America Expensive Again.
