Looks like 10+ trade deals in the hopper. This will result in lower trade barriers for American companies. Jason may say he’s a “free trade” devotee. He’s not. He opposed the process used to accomplish this result. Jason just wants cheap gym shoes….
It does not appear that any major players (or minor players?) have run toward China. Instead, China is isolated, and all the players in their region publicly expressed eagerness to quickly cut a deal with Trump.
Also, “before engaging in tariff-based-panic, it’s good to note that Trump recently invoked the Defense Production Act (DPA) to accelerate domestic production of critical minerals.”

Jason, I think we’ll probably agree on a lot of things. In fact, I think most Americans will find lots of common ground. It’s only when people build up caricatures of “the other side” and then view every person even slightly leaning to that side as the caricature that we have problems.
Both parties love to build these caricatures of the other side. It’s a strategy that works. And it contributes to a reversion to tribalism and our eventual decline.

Trump has never been risk-adverse in his business affairs, nor how he goes about presiding over his presidency. He believes in putting his ideas and policies on the table, to be dealt with publicly, in order to ascertain reactions and how well they perform. Yesterday Trump defined his methodology as being “flexible,” which is far afield from those attempting to label such tactics as incompetent. Despite the list of people opposing his tariff structure and rollout, there were many who either supported it or at least were in a more patient wait-and-see mode. In being flexible, though, Trump is willing to either stick with his positions, modify them, or discard them entirely. But at least he is unafraid to go against consensus thinking and try something new.

The sheer intellectual dishonesty in this statement is astounding.
It implies that imposing blanket tariffs on the whole world and starting trade wars with all its major trading partners is somehow “lowering trade barriers”.
Anyone with half a brain understands that tariffs and trade wars are designed to INCREASE trade barriers.
But in the end, I understand the philosophical divide here.
You can, like Trump, believe in tariffs and protectionism as a basic philosophy, either because you think you can raise revenues from them, you can protect domestic industry, you can incentivize domestic production, etc.
I think this is wrong. I think tariffs and protectionism are bad for the US, bad for the economy, bad for the domestic industry, bad for the world. I think if you cannot be competitive in world markets you should invest in innovation to make yourself competitive or concentrate in producing and exporting what your are competitive in. I don’t believe in subsidizing domestic production to please the union fat cats while producing obsolete goods.
There is a profound difference in philosophies there between those two views. Fine.
But let’s not pretend that Trump has advocated for protectionism and tariffs for 70 years because he is for free trade.
If you think he is right, make your case for protectionism. Don’t pretend it is something else.

“Trump had scolded Freedom Caucus members for “grandstanding” earlier in the week, however.

The tax cuts mainly will consist of making the 2017 tax reforms permanent, as well as other reductions that Trump will need to balance out the effects of his tariffs, as well as unlocking funding for border security and other White House priorities.
The message clearly got through, at least eventually. And this also bolsters the Republicans in presenting themselves as a real governing force, especially in contrast to the infighting that paralyzed the House at times in the last session. Trump’s muscle-flexing and Johnson’s diplomacy has kept the GOP from forming circular firing squads when it matters most, a remarkable achievement for both men dealing with a wafer-thin majority.

China is a different matter. I have long believed and often stated that the only successful approach with China is removing MFN trading status and/or an embargo. Tariffs above 100% are essentially an embargo. Not much revenue will be raised – most imports will stop.

That inflation from the last 4 years is baked into the economy and for many things, prices won’t be going down to what they were. It’s all about holding the rate of increase to a healthy rate for an economy, which is what we got today.
Time to see if ManU can redeem themselves with a win against the French.

the full effect of inflation won’t be felt until everyone has to go through a full cycle of purchases…
Car
Roofing
Refridgerator
washing machine and dryer
dishwasher
And many other items.
People can pay a few of these, but all together, its crippling inflation.
