I was just thinking about this today. I have completely lost track of what/who is being tariffed. Did that foreign film tariff happen?

Does anyone have any clue what the tariffs are these day? He’s changed things so many times it’s impossible to keep up.

No he walked back the film tarrifs. China was at 154, brought down to 30% on a suspension for negotiations. Now he postponed that because he didn’t hear anything from China I’m guessing. China knows if they go to 154% it hurts them a bit, but hurts Americans more, which makes Trump look worse and continue to lose support. Not to mention China has its own shit going on. China can let the U.S. fuck themselves while figuring out ways to capitalize on the soft power vacuum he created around the world.
First half of 2025 the U.S. dollar fell in value by the highest amount since we left the gold standard. Which leads to why Trump threatens BRICS with more tarrifs, which ultimately will hurt is more

It doesn’t matter what they are. It only matters that he’s going over there and giving fucking with shit and comes back saying he’s done a good job. Then everyone around him tells him how big brave and strong he is.
