Trump says US will impose additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods in November as trade war escalates

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump ratcheted up tariff and trade tensions with China on Friday. In a post on Truth Social, the president said the US would impose an additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods starting on Nov. 1, 2025.

The president said the move was prompted by China taking an "extraordinarily aggressive" position on trade by announcing new export controls that would take effect next month. Trump claimed the curbs affect more countries than just the US, calling them a "moral disgrace in dealing with other nations."

The president added that the timeline of the 100% tariff could be moved up based on China's response. He also said export controls targeting China's access to "critical software" would go into effect on the same day in November.

1. The economy not failing quickly enough for him

I guess if you wreck the economy faster, they can try to imply martial law faster.

2. Trump doesn't feel the American people are suffering enough.

Put the screws to them right before the holidays.
That'll teach 'em.

3. Well, there goes Christmas!

Stupid, stupid man.

[Justice matters.]

5. More devilish than stupid at this point.

The cruelty in that piece of smelly poop knows no bounds.

4. Notice it's another 100% on top of the existing tariffs

6. Wonder if he has any idea how much that is - since he seems to think he got drug manufacturers to reduce prices by

1000-1500%.

I don't think anyone who doesn't understand 4th-5th grade math has any business imposing tariffs.
