He must keep from harming our economy while defending it against China's attacks.

If this was a regular war he would need to decide when to time an invasion of the enemy too.

Guess I should take the concession that tarrifs harm the American economy when I get it.

If they were done wrong they could do short term damage but the enemy trade warfare is doing much more long term damage.

Another Drudge hit piece on MAGA Economy

[Superfluous Man]

This move is an admission on Trump's part that his tariffs are taxes on Americans, and not just other countries.

[Todd]

If he delayed tariffs for fear of hurting this consumption economy then that seems like an admission that his plan sucks balls.

But not quite yet because

[Superfluous Man]

In the mindset of tariff defenders, it would hurt our economy and help China's if China literally sent us free stuff at the expense of its own people, because that would cost us the jobs of Americans who would otherwise make that stuff and sell it to one another. So we have to hurt ourselves in order to hurt China because by hurting China we help ourselves.

Tariffs aren't harming the US but he is delaying them because they will harm the US. Flip Flopper in Chief at it again. The US is making, er, paying, $billions in tariffs.

Pretty much they are taxes. He just wont admit it. He knows he cant start a war over HK or punish China to heavily or that would also hurt America's economy as America's economy is depended on China's labor.

Does welfare help the slums?

African Americans have been destroyed by welfare and the same thing was happening to all of America.

Trump is winning and America is winning.

Fine tuning or negotiation are not backing down.
