The Trump regime needed to feel the pain. They don’t care about consumer spending. That isn’t what GovCo cares about. Just look at the state of the domestic economy. The rare earth metals was about impacting the MIC. That’s the sector that matters. And China made it hurt.

Lmao. Could be 2400% and it still wouldn’t matter. China already has the pipelines to circumvent all retaliatory measures including Chumps tariffs.

Remember how China exposed all the luxury brands? It’s that. Send the products to Vietnam or Brazil or somewhere. Get a domestic label sewn on and bingo.

Xi is playing chess. Chump is playing with his own feces.
