145% tariffs on china. Is there even a point to this?
Political arson. Trump is lighting a fire, putting it out, then declaring himself a hero.

I personally believe the goal is to prime MAGA voters for sanctions. Once the de minimus exemption ends on May 2nd US-China direct trade is functionally gone, with the void filled by Southeast Asia proxies. Trump can then claim his infinite tariffs are being bypassed, justifying the escalation to sanctions.

No, Trump's still playing a stupid man's game adding to one number that's already meaninglessly high while China has already moved on to surgical strikes. Hollywood, agriculture, non-tariff barriers, etc... China's still got Apple, Nike, Starbucks, MacDonald's, KFC, Costco, Walmart (with Sam's Club)... to chop up and to be honest, these pieces of shit absolutely need to go.
