What is US total imports? $2.6Trillion.
10% is $260B.

You notice by distracting everyone and dividing the tariffs into 2 parts 10% across the board plus additional tariffs ...most countries are shocked by additional tariffs now panicking to get it reduced. Those who kena 10% damage happy they did not get higher and homily accept it.

This distraction allowed the 10% tariffs to go through smoothly allowing trump to collect a cool $260B....no major protests by various countries.

The additional tariffs is actually too high and will hurt Americans and US economy. So he delays it citing negotiations being held and foreign govt want to give him good offers. The negotiations are one big reality show for Trump to show how good a deal maker he is ...and distract the foreign govts who by now accepts 10% tariffs without retaliating.

I'n the past if one country impose 10% on the goods of another or will trigger strong retaliation and a demand to remove it.

Trump did it again. He played a trick on other countries. That js why the calculation of those additional tariffs is so stupid to draw attention and anger.
His next step is to use an excuse to delay the additional tariffs.

But he already win 10% already...and he got it without retaliation. Its a master stroke 200 countries one go....

[WhatDoYouThink!]

The 260b to be paid by assmaricunts, what's there to be happy about?

[sgbuffett]

You think about it everything fits into his trick

1. Why tariffs divided into 2 parts. Why are they implemented on 2 different dates.

2. Why was the calculation for additional tariffs so retarded to the point of disbelief. Had it been a thoughtful calculation it would not have served his purpose as a distraction.

3. When China retaliated Trump said "wrong move, they panicked " Why? Because they cannot see his trick. ..the additional tariffs is deliberately ridiculous to make other govts panic so they forget abt the 10%.

4. All the white house officials gave contradictory response to confuse and confound. At the same tike the 10% tariffs was implemented over the weekend without fanfare or protests.

He is using the $$$ for tax cuts for his rich friends.
Americans can suffer he doesn't care. He managed to trick them to vote for him.

[Alice Alicia]

Please lah. His IQ is only 73.
He can't even explain how tariffs worked.

Trump is not born this year. He has been screwing up all his life.

America gain a lot on the service economy which are not taxed oversea.

I saw through his trick yesterday. You slowly thing every move and think he said is purposely to distract others from the 10% he implemented.

If he do it in a simple way and implement just the 10% against all countries .....they will simply retaliate by hitting him back with 10%.

Through this distraction trick and acting stupid crazy .nobody retaliated against the 10% implemented over the weekend.


It's all an act!

[sgbuffett]

Tonight or tomorrow he will come out to say tariffs delayed as many countries came to beg him and he wants to be nice to them.


Many will be very happy with the delay...

They were distracted from the 10% already implemented against their exports to USA.

How can u say all analysts are wrong?

Out of the 193 ( excl mexico, canada), 60 has kpkb to Trump to nego to reduce the tariff

That is 1/3 countries that kpkb

27 countries of EU going to adopt 2 prongs - zero to zero or retaliatory tariff

That brings 87 countries or 1/2 of the total of 193 countries who kpkb

So how can u say everyone was tricked into accepting the 10%

Except moronic PAP, who has an FTA with USA yet because of election looming, prefer to use this 10% for fear mongering

Get your facts right please!

Plse read my post carefully....these countries already let the 10% go through. They kpkb is over the additional reciprocal tariffs ....

That's the whole idea to make them kpkb...and distract them from the 10% already implemented.

Nonsense

Can u stop bluffing

This habit of urs is getting tiresome

These countries are not letting the 10% through, only in ur own hallucination

SMH

10% is to eat those who never complain. It is negotiable. Countries like the UK and Australia will get it waived. This is a normal business practice by the big bully in business. Those 25% and above are the real punishments. Can your general margin be at this rate? Most Asian countries saw it, except for the Philippines and India. The latter brains are that their rates are better, which makes them more competitive. Did Trump mention the service sector, the software, the trading systems?

If all requests for 100% tariffs, Trump will roll backwards.

[Soulhacker]

To moi it really depend how much inflation in US he can keep under control within the next 1 year. If his siao lang tariff tactic really make most countries bow and surrender over whatever US wanted from them, be it USD, tech, land etc, and at same time kept the resulting inflation at a minimal level that ish acceptable to the Americans, then he and his party could survive the next senate erection and he may even be able to run for another term.

Only then, then moi can give the benefit of doubt that he ish a genius.

But if he overpray his tariff cards and inflation in US got out of control within next few months and not resolved before their next senate erection. Americans voters sure react and Republicans will be wipe out from the house and demoncrats will come back to power to counter the orange man. By then he might not even has the chance to run for next term.

If this happen, he ish just an egoistic idiot nia.

This time around, not easy for Trump.
There is a China to take on him.

Logically true.  The Service sector is generally exempted from tariffs but the export value of services is small compared to the import value of goods.  Yes. It will fairer if Trump’s formula includes also value of services

The fundamental of tariffs based on surplus and deficit has not changed. You import more, you will be taxed more.

[teaserteam]

Trump must have been frustrated with all the previous trade negotiations with various nations, including China. This time,  he slaps the tariffs first without any talks,  waiting for the nations to go back to the table and negotiate.  He is using the "先斩后奏“ tactic.

[wulala]

this episode wake many nations up. Could 1929 history repeat itself or worst? As nations dependant link is even greater today.

EU is ready to talk. What about China? Retaliate again to save face?

But China already well prepared many years ago. To become the world number one, China has already prepared for all eventuality.

As lau Lee had said before, there are no permanent friends. So China had learned from lau Lee

Trumpet had done many great things which were unexpected, like making hw great. This time he'll make china even greater

[revealer]

Whatever Trump’s haphazard tariff is unlike by the World and pple can throw stones. But he trade imbalance must b addressed. China call the World leaders to boycott the US, think nobody will want to follow unless the trade imbalance is corrected.
