Today's Liberal Hates Tariffs, But Thought They Were Okee Dokee When Obama Implemented Them 🙄

Here's what NBC News had to say about it:

Barack Obama imposed tariffs on Chinese tires in 2009 to protect American manufacturers from a surge in imports that was harming the domestic industry. These tariffs were part of a broader strategy to enforce trade laws and support American workers.

And on Canada:

Barack Obama imposed tariffs on certain imports, including those from Canada, primarily to protect American industries from unfair competition. However, these tariffs were generally lower compared to those proposed by later administrations, and they were part of broader trade policies aimed at balancing trade relationships.

These hypocrites don't hate tariffs...they are terrified of Trump

Yeah, we probably have a 50/50 chance of China releasing another virus.

China vowed to "fight to the end" and accused the White House of "blackmail," as tensions between the world's two largest economies rose Tuesday after President Donald Trump threatened Beijing with additional tariffs.

Trump has demanded that China withdraw its retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. or face an additional 50% levy that would take U.S. duties on some Chinese goods this year to 104% as early as Wednesday. The tit-for-tat standoff follows Trump's announcement last week he was raising import taxes on Chinese goods to 54%, on top of earlier increases.

Beijing has already pledged to impose, effective Thursday, 34% tariffs on all imports from the U.S. China's commerce ministry said that it would take further countermeasures if necessary to protect its interests. "The U.S. side's threat to escalate tariffs against China is a mistake on top of a mistake," the ministry said in a statement.

"China will never accept it."

@DogMan China will fold like a cheap lawn chair. Trump has them by the cajones, they know it, but are trying to save face. We're their best customer.

Everyone is coming to the negotiating table now. Stock market is liking this.
