Trump is not stupid, he will not keep these tariffs in place much longer in my opinion.  He sees what the uncertainty is doing to the economy and will claim that most of the Countries gave in to his demands and declare victory.  That's just his M.O.  Hopefully not much permanent damage will be felt by the economy going forward.

It seems to me that the US should have trade deficits with most countries anyway.  We had a growing economy coming into this year and the US has much more wealth than most, so it just seems to me that naturally the US would be spending more since they have much more to spend.  Maybe that's too simplistic, but like the Lynyrd Skynrd song, I'm just a  simple man.

If Trump doesn’t keep them in place much longer it will be because countries have negotiated terms to have them nullified or reduced…. Dear Lord do you understand we are 36 trillion in debt and our national debt to GDP ration is well over 100% meaning that unless Trump fixes our trade deficit and brings back manufacturing there’s no way we can EVER repay the money we owe… Your heart maybe in the right place I absolutely don’t think your a bad person but I absolutely wonder what reality your living in 36 trillion which is almost 130% of our GDP and we should have trade deficits….. There’s no country in the world that is living with as much debt as we are and guess who owns the majority of our debt, the very countries you want a trade deficit with….

America has outsourced way too much to other countries, thereby making us dependent on other countries. Does anybody really believe we should literally door dash everything from antibiotics to military hardware from the likes of sworn enemies like China? 

When one makes a deal with the Devil he loses everything, including his soul. Now, getting out of that deal will take a little chin. But everything Trump said about his detractors during his first term turned out to be the truth. History and the record witnesses the success of his economic policy, and the same record confirms that we've been here before. 

Other than OSH and the other progressives on here, I say give the man a chance. 

People from both sides of the isle forget patience is a virtue…..Biden gets a pass from the left for creating some of the worst inflation in history and propping up the stock market with build back better, yet Trump is ostracized for the stock market taking a deep turn for a week when he’s trying to keep us from going bankrupt….. Bottom line Dems are pissed he’s stopped their goals for globalization and the Socialist States of America in its tracks day one……
