US 🇺🇸 Tariff China 🇨🇳 are we in a weaker position?

[newfie]

You said he’s doing both. Tariffs would replace income tax. You’re not going to generate enough income to replace income tax by doing part tariffs and part free trade.

i think Trump is chiseling into new territory to see how close he can get to that goal. thats why he also mentions other options.
we've seen everyone and their mother throw different numbers out there supporting different arguments.

No. You know the W house was admonishing Bezos. Thats why he backtracked. I could be wrong….. If X, Meta, Microsoft stay quiet then Bezos spoke for the BillyBoys

This is a problem. A big Eff us problem. There are NO trade talks with China whatsoever. They have NOT called. If the public knew it would cause a panic in the market/economy, assets, US dollar. Even a collapse of dollar is possible. Pure Americano here but we need to prepare for worst case. We might have overplayed. China “Bowing to a bully is drinking poison to quench thirst”. No one will sign with us until China makes a move. I’m not spending. Screw that. Stock up.

You have no clue what talks might or might not be happening.

But thanks for playing.

I wonder how they came up with the 85% cutoff?

First off, kudos for managing to find a car website with political commentary. That's dedication on your part.

Second, Tesla isn't exempt from the tariffs.

Three of their cars are.

If Elon was making the policy, he would have made all their cars exempt.
