Trump 2.0 official thread

43% weighted tariffs were on liberation day. They were then reduced substantially.Total weight of tariffs is actually around 43% if you include preexisting tariffs from prior years.
43% tariff is a win for America. No empty shelves. No substantial price increases for consumers since Chinese suppliers will eat a portion of the tariffs. Revenue for the Treasury -$16B from April.
To see America suffer China should’ve stuck with no deal. Empty shelves remember.
Some U.S. OEMs like Topo Athletics have already reported that their Chinese suppliers will eat some of the tariffs.
Most countries have VAT. Ron Vara is stupid.

Prices ARE going up and the Chinese suppliers are only eating some of the cost because they know the cost of logistics will also increase (along with the tariffs).
something... something... no free lunch...
The tariffs enacted during the first Trump term resulted in American consumers and firms mostly paying for them, any tariffs implemented in his second term will not be any different (as long as they are not so high that they translate into an effective embargo like 145% tariffs were).
This will definitely result in higher prices, we are already seeing this occur with Nintendo Switch 2 accessories and Xbox consoles increasing in price.

So your win is China allowed you to surrender, so instead of collapsing you get to raise domestic taxes without losing ability to keep running massive trade deficit with China, Chinese sellers gets a massive upfront jackpot in frontloaded sales (which is anything but cheap if you've ever sold anything under rush order, especially to beat even higher tariffs), and the world establish an updated understanding of America's place where US accepts it can't survive a Chinese embargo, eg. so no hot war. and from this point on China get to call the shots in everything through threat of embargoTotal weight of tariffs is actually around 43% if you include preexisting tariffs from prior years.

Did I cover everything?
People are forgeting tariff pause on the other 70 countries will expire in 60 days, lolThe tariffs enacted during the first Trump term resulted in American consumers and firms mostly paying for them, any tariffs implemented in his second term will not be any different (as long as they are not so high that they translate into an effective embargo like 145% tariffs were).

Now that we established US cant live without Chinese exports and all other sellers are under threat of immenent higher tariffs than China, why on earth would Chinese sellers care about prices, they can jack prices up to just below the upcoming liberation day tariffs and Americans still have to buy it up.
Tariffs are a price discovery mechamism, and we just discovered a new much higher acceptance threshold for Chinese exports, Americans paying China more from now on is just basic economics
Trump 2.0 is much much more powerful. Just last week he lashed out over Amazon displaying tariffs on the bill. This time companies will probably eat some of the cost.The tariffs enacted during the first Trump term resulted in American consumers and firms mostly paying for them, any tariffs implemented in his second term will not be any different (as long as they are not so high that they translate into an effective embargo like 145% tariffs were).
