Was not a good negotiatorđ€„. He is a disaster for America. He only told cult fools he negotiated higher tariffs for foreign countries. So did they.đđŒ đźYeah we will pay 30% more for goods from China. When it went into effect. The increase flowed down to poor consumers.
He did NOT negotiate tariffs on clothing imports. That he didnât touch because of personal business for ivanka and his clothing line. It was manufactured in foreign countries NOT MADE IN USA. He had the fn nerve to tell citizens to boycott corporations moving to foreign countries to save the company from closing down businesses. He promised to build more manufacturing plants. No new manufacturing plants or jobs.đ€„ Farmers loss their #1 buy. But subsidy by taxpayers
In May 2018, more than 1,000 economists wrote a letter warning Trump about the dangers of pursuing a trade war, arguing that the tariffs were echoing historical policy errors, such as the SmootâHawley Tariff Act, which HELP LEAD TO THE GREAT DEPRESSION (HE DIDNâT LISTEN,THUS OUR ECONOMY AND COVID SUPPLY SHORTAGES AROUND THE WORLD)
A study published in fall 2019 in the Journal of Economic Perspectives found that by December 2018, Trump's tariffs resulted in a reduction in aggregate U.S. REAL INCOME of $1.4 BILLION per month in DEADWEIGHT LOSSES and COST U.S. CONSUMER AN ADDITIONAL $3.2 PER MONTH IN ADDED TAXES. The study's authors noted that these were conservative measures of the losses from the tariffs, because they did not take account of the tariffs' effects in reducing the variety of products available to consumers, or the tariff-related costs attributable to policy uncertainty or the fixed costs incurred by companies to reorganize their global supply chains.[24] A study by Federal Reserve Board economists found that the tariffs reduced employment(job losses) in the American manufacturing sector.

Did this turn out well for farmers? Experts say probably not. âFarmers would have been better off if the trade war had never started, to say nothing of the American businesses and consumers who continue to pay exorbitant tariffs, even after the âPhase 1â U.S.-China trade deal,â said Bryan Riley, director of the National Taxpayers Unionâs Free Trade Initiative, in an interview. âAll the warnings issued by economists about the trade war, including higher costs for U.S. consumers, trade retaliation and heightened global tensions, have come true.â
