Trump needs to deescalate these high tariffs. He started it.

Evaristus Odinikaeze1 year ago

Blaming others for the mess you created is not only childish but also irresponsible. Inheriting a booming economy and tanking it along with the destruction of American livelihoods is due to your ignorance of economics and incompetence in managing an economy in this century.

Bessent is crying now after the tariffs disaster he and Trump created. He couldn’t win against the Chinese. He’s also another one that needs to get fired, TODAY.

That’s rich. Trump wants China to deescalate a war that he started.

Why does the Chinese need to 'deescalate' anything? They didn't start this. 🤣

It doesn’t seem to occur to these assholes but the entirety of Chinese imports are not frivolous toys and things people don’t need. There are quite a few products that will really hurt low income Americans if the access to those products is cut off.

BOOM: Bessent obliterates reporter questioning Trump’s China tariff strategy — “The Chinese tariffs are unsustainable for China.” A reporter tried to press Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on whether the Trump administration was negotiating with Beijing over tariffs. Big mistake. “We’re not going to talk about who is talking to whom,” Bessent said. “But over time, we will see that the Chinese tariffs are unsustainable for China.” He didn’t stop there. Bessent cited data showing the tariffs could wipe out 10 million Chinese jobs if they hold—even 5 million if partially lifted. “We are the deficit country,” he added. “They sell almost five times more to us than we sell to them. The onus will be on them to take off these tariffs.” The reporter pushed again, quoting Chinese sources who claimed the U.S. wasn’t even discussing tariffs. Bessent shut that down too: “They have a different form of government, they are playing to a different audience.” He repeated: “For the Chinese, these tariffs are unsustainable.” Then came the knockout punch. Pressed further on whether Trump had spoken to Xi Jinping, Bessent replied: “Karoline and I have a lot of jobs around the White House. Running the switchboard isn’t one of them.” Just like that, game over.

Crazy to think that people need to be the ones to deescalate the situation and not the people meant to protect them.
