He can't pull the trigger.......

President Trump delayed the new tariffs on a large batch of Chinese imports that were supposed to go into effect Sept. 1, and exempted some other Chinese imports altogether. The move deescalates Trump’s trade war with China, and amounts to a tacit acknowledgement by Trump that his tariffs might hurt American consumers too much.

Laptops, cellphones, gaming consoles, and other products imported from China won’t face a 10% tariff on Sept. 1, as expected. The Trump administration says the 10% tariffs on those products will go into effect on Dec. 15, instead. But the delay reveals an unwillingness by Trump to raise the cost of products many Americans find essential, suggesting he’s bluffing about ever imposing such a tariff.

Trump has now partially reversed himself on the 10% tariff, without any corresponding concession from China. In fact, China has toughened its stance recently, essentially calling Trump’s bluff. China has refused to fulfill its pledge to start buying more U.S. farm products, for instance. And it has allowed its currency to fall in value more than usual, which makes Chinese exports to other countries cheaper and boosts domestic sales. It’s possible China has decided to bear the pain of Trump’s trade war for the next 15 months and hope Trump loses the 2020 election.

That has left Trump, who fancies himself a master dealmaker, negotiating with himself. Trump’s initial threat on consumer imports from China was to levy a 25% tariff. But when it came time to do it, he lowered that to 10%. And now it’s 10% on just half of those products, rather than all of them. And there’s an appeals process for eliminating the entire tariff.

 

He is no deal maker that we now know. What deal did he make? Zippo.z

They called his bluff, he is now the art of the squeal.

 

Great and correct analysis of the great imposter "deal maker".

 

Nah! The game is far from over and Trump has played it masterfully so far.

But I love how you fools offer absolutely no alternative to Trump’s approach. Until you do, you really have no right to criticize him. How many years are we supposed to let the Chinese continue ie to engage in unfair trade policies before something is done about it? At least Trump is trying and he’s making some headway. Trump will likely win in the end.

 

Not only that, he does not even understand the whole tariff thing, he is simply echoing the guy who designed his campaign - Steve Bannon.

The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA) is breathing a small sigh of relief as President Trump delays the implementation of additional tariffs on $300 billion of Chinese Goods.

"The announcement today that the Trump Administration will be delaying the additional 10% tariff on some footwear until December 1 is an acknowledgment that tariffs are indeed paid by Americans,” the group’s president and CEO Matt Priest said in a statement. “It is no coincidence that the Administration is allowing certain shoes to come in without raising taxes in hopes that prices do not rise at retail during the holidays. Our industry's loud unified voice left a clear impression that shoe tariffs are already extremely high, upwards of 67.5%, and any further tariffs would directly raise costs on consumers and cost footwear jobs."

Priest, also says while the FDRA is pleased with the decision to delay new tariffs on certain shoes, they are not satisfied.

"We will continue to fight for any exclusions on new tariffs and we will fight to delay new tariffs on shoes until the entire tariff threat is lifted off the backs of American families,” he said.

And another question, why is he letting his chin grow into his neck like Mitch the bitch?

 

Gotcha! We’ll put you down as stupid enough to keep letting the Chinese rip us off! Brilliant!

 

Funny how you never expressed such concern for coal miners, but hey we’ve got to take care of guys that sell sneakers!

 

Do they get coal feet?

 

Doodle, diddle...

 

Oh only if you use electricity. You really expose yourself as ignorant fool when you try to be cute like this.

 

All this bs babble amounts to nothing. China has owned us for decades. T is trying his hardest to change that and you clueless clowns babble on attacking T.
China would have caved, were it not for the2 yr. Russia fraud. Now that that’s all debunked and some heads will roll and wind up in jail, China is waiting for the 2020 election. When Trump wins by a landslide, he’ll bring China to their knees. Their economy is suffering now and it will continue. They can eat grass only so long.
China steals our technology, manufactures shit products, poisons their food exports, cheapens our products to the point they’re a joke, and it’s time to bring them down.

 

Nobody in the world can do without access to our market. We also have the world’s dominant military. Pretty hard combination to beat.

But one thing is for sure. They certainly can’t bring us to our knees.

 

No, it's sure not going to stop them from trying to. Also just remember corruption is like cancer it's destroys from the inside out. You are all worry about an enemy in another country or behind the border. LOL ha ha I don't have to explain anything to you because most likely you are part of the cancer and you know it.
