I was replying to what was in your direct post. You didn't mention farming. A lot of things have impact on farming.
Something has to be done with China. They have slave labor their, which is terrible human rights for their own people, and they drive down the wages of people in every country they trade with.
I don't know what the perfect answers are, but doing nothing isn't it either.
Killing off the American economy isn't the answer either,especially from a president who doesn't know what it's like to have a job and has never held a job or worked for a paycheck.

Democrats and both republicans are responsible for what led up to anything Trump is doing. And both sides have done jack squat to fix it. Both sides just sat on their hands and waitied for the other side to move 1st so they could use it as a weapon. Fuck both sides on this one. I don't know enough about tariffs to know all the effects but at least Trump was willing to do something. Hopefully China and US can come to a reasonable agreement so the tariffs can be reduced or removed. Won't hold my breath tho.
