At least the class of customer will change at Walmart and maybe improve my shopping experience?
The tax isn’t on China. The tax is on the American consumer who buys Chinese goods. China doesn’t pay anything extra at all; we do.
Looks like Taiwan invasion will be upon us.
Buy computers and iPhones like Venezuelans buying up Cadillac Escalades…
Yep. Looks like the market just tanked today
Damn
There is no way Trump keeps these. This is absolutely political suicide. Out of all countries, i can only really see China not backing down. Imagine the US power pivot they could do if they proved Trump isn’t able to keep the tariffs.
Edit: to those saying he doesn’t care about political suicide, to a degree that is agreeable. On the other hand, he is a complete narcissist who absolutely cares about his perception.
An _additional_ tax of 104%? Does this mean its 208% in total? lol
Apple is fucked!
I’m so very tired of winning! /s
What the fuck Donny
This is a satire post right? I just got off working 13 hours

When do we all become flush with cash? Lol
Just in time to wipe out all of the stock market gains from this morning.
Why stop there? Why not 500%!?
Trump is weak and will flip-flop 99 times before Wednesday. The US economy collapses in a week without China.
I DECLARE BANKRUPCY
It’s not like we get a lot of imported stuff from
China only basically 75% of goods will cost double.
Have a feeling that something bad is about to happen.
Press Secretary said midnight in the briefing lolololol
Trump is a TERRORIST

Impeach Trump NOW before he destroys the whole world.
YOU PEOPLE allowed a CONVICTED FELLON to destroy the WORLD.
What will happen next? Prices skyrocket or shelves bare from lack of supply.
America lost its soul in Guantanamo, Its lost it economy with Trump.
I wish China would just tell Mr Shit-Talker, “*You know what, we’ve had enough of your bullshit, flip-flopping” and your “Plans”. China is halting stopping 100% of its shipment to the US starting right now.”*
Every store shelf would be empty in 24 hours and the economy brought to its knees within a week.
THEN, China could dump its US treasuries and USD to collapse the dollar. It could all be over before summer.
$10K iPhone?? Make it $20K! Next $30K!
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
Markets already giving up all the gains they made today, it’s gonna be a rough ride, but remember, you voted for this America, he explicitly made tariffs a key part of his platform.
we should introduce futures contracts on these tariff rates to the market
This is extremely bad for the United States. It will damage our international standing, and China will be more than willing to step in as the new de facto global leader. We’ve just suffered a major loss. If countries begin abandoning the U.S. dollar, it could mark the end of the world as we know it. I truly hope I’m wrong.
This will SLOW down the economy!
Ut oh, those big production lines can really only do one thing.
Elect a clown, get a circus! Have fun paying those taxes, Americans!
China gives zero fucks. walmart is pissing over itself.
LOL, Trump is so STUPID

China’s stock market is going thru the ROOF, while the US stock market is tanking.
Shorting Walmart stock
Guys, you’ll all need to be very careful with the clothes and shoes you are wearing now.
If they wear out, your only option will be to go naked
Make it 1000% it will make the midterms easier.
Remember, this is the dude suggesting about injecting hand sanitizer as treatment for corona virus.
That means the US government gets a dollar for every dollar Americans spend on Chinese products.
If Americans buy less Chinese products, that hurts China, since their economy has been down of late and they rely entirely on exports. People expecting Africa or South America to absorb their exports must not understand economics; those thinking Europe will don’t understand what is happening.
It hurts regular Americans in the near-mid term since anything made in China doubles in price; Americans can afford this to some extent. It will probably tamp down consumer spending which will slow the US economy.
