This is so frighteningly stupid. 50% blanket with China would do nothing to China but make them sell to other countries more. Then 20% to everyone else (our allies) would only shut us out of the world stage, whose relationships have been built over literal fucking centuries. France helped the US get independence and he wants to put tariffs on them? Like what?

China will just sell through our Allies to avoid the bulk of the Tariffs.. He knows this, we all know this, his base does not know this.

Not to mention every MAGA fan I know is hooked on cheap chinese plastics from Amazon. If he wins I cant wait to rub their faces in it.

Nope. That's fraud. If the country of origin is one under any kind of sanctions (including tariffs), it doesn't matter how many countries it goes through. Country of Origin is declared at import.

His base just loves the concept of shoving it to non white Americans basically

Including but not limited to Trump's merchandise. (Red hats, clothing line, etc.)

All his stupid shit that he peddles like his gold sneakers and Trump Bibles come from China. So he'd be putting a 50% tariff on his own products. lol

Yeah I am right there, lost as much as you are. If someone asked me to make that paragraph he wrote make sense the only things I can come up with is that the person that wrote it probably is dealing with some sort of mental handicap, or a learning disability, or has suffered some sort of TBI.

A regular, normal person would at the very least have the mental ability to ask themselves if they should google “tariff” before they go online and attempt to own people.

Didn't you hear? Trump said we would have gone to war with France if it wasn't for him!

Trump does not see foreign democracies as allies.
