Let me get this right. You're gonna teach Donald Trump all about economics? Right!'President Trump said in a Twitter thread Friday that China is paying billions of dollars to the U.S. Treasury due to tariffs hours after he reignited the trade war with a tariff spike. This is a claim he's made before, including back in January, when he said it twice during a press conference and on Twitter.
Reality check: The tariffs are paid by U.S. importers of affected Chinese goods, not by China's government or by Chinese companies. Importers then either raise costs on consumers, lower their own profit margins or both.'
President Trump is wrong on how China tariffs work
What a fucking idiot Trump is...he does not even know how a tariff works.
Hey MORON...it's an import tariff. Why the fuck would China pay for an import tariff? Moron.
What a useless piece of shit he is.
So many misconceptions, lies, and misrepresentations.'President Trump said in a Twitter thread Friday that China is paying billions of dollars to the U.S. Treasury due to tariffs hours after he reignited the trade war with a tariff spike.

That's not likely. 75% of China's exports go to countries other than the US and their domestic sales are 10 times their US exports. If China decides to take the any pressure off manufactures they can easily do so with their 3 trillion dollar cash surplus they are sitting on. So don't expect Chinese manufactures to foot the bill for Trump's tariffs. US consumers are going to be stuck with it in the form of higher retail prices.jesus h whats stoppin the chinese from eating the ten percent on their end? apparently according to some reports not much!
if the chinese are covering the ten percent what does it matter if myself or a freight forwarder , a chink warehouse stuffed with chink nationals operating at of redhook ...OR goddamn ford pays the friggin duties...youre still not out the 10% and the consumer feels ungotz

i) The tariffs are being paid.
ii) Prices for American consumers on balance are stable.
therefore
iii) Americans aren't really paying these tariffs.
Reuters reported,
"China on Friday threatened to unveil an unprecedented hit list of 'unreliable' foreign firms, groups and individuals who harm the interests of Chinese companies as a slate of retaliatory tariffs on imported U.S. goods was set to kick in at midnight.
"The commerce ministry did not single out any country or company, but the threat could further heighten tensions after Washington this month put Huawei on a blacklist that effectively blocks U.S. firms from doing business with the Chinese telecoms equipment giant."
Communist China makes a profit of $1 billion a day doing business with the United States, in large part because it bought off American presidents and the Chamber of Crony Capitalists.
We are not engaged in free trade because Red China is a communist country that uses slave labor. We should never have let it enter the World Trade Organization.
Real Americans should have no sympathy for those "American" companies hit by this. They sold us out.
And remember, tariffs are a voluntary tax. Buy American and avoid them.

The importer, not the exporter pays the tariff to US customs when the goods are brought into the US. The major importers are wholesalers or major retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, and Target. Whether they pass it on to the their customers are eat the cost depends on the market. I have a friend who works for an electronic assembly plant. They are paying a million dollars in Trump tariffs every 3 months. They are eating part of the costs and passing the remainder on to their consumers.Actually, he has a point.'President Trump said in a Twitter thread Friday that China is paying billions of dollars to the U.S. Treasury due to tariffs hours after he reignited the trade war with a tariff spike.

The hell they haven't. The spike on the right is TENS of Billions in tariffs flowing into the US treasury.The tariffs have not even begun to be felt yet...
Nonsense. Since US prices increases aren't even hitting the Fed's benchmark, yet clearly tens of billions are flowing into the US treasury, clearly consumers, on balance, are not paying these tariffs. Those that export to us a very likely reducing their prices, effectively covering the tariff. For example: Say I'm from China and I sell you a widget for $1. Trump puts a 25 cent tariff on it. If I reduce my price to 75 cents then the US consumer sees no change, but that quarter shows up as inflow to the US treasury, which is what we see today....And prices WILL rise on those goods that are tariffed...it is IMPOSSIBLE that they won't...
It's not happening. Consumer inflation is not an issue in today's economy....they will hurt consumers - especially the lower income ones who depended on those cheap Chinese imports to make ends meet...a few dozen extra dollars per month could mean a TON to them.

The reason why Chinese exporters to the US are not going to slash prices to pay Trump tariffs is they don't need to for several reasons. First, Chinese prices are well below other low cost producers. Second, the cost to switch to another country is too much for many major customers like Apple. They have too much invested. Even for smaller customers it can be very risky moving to a new supplier when you consider the reason for switching, tariffs could disappear next month if an agreement is reach. That's not to say that some companies might offer small discounts, but they certainly will not pay the whole 25%. The lion's share of Trump tariffs will be paid by US companies. To cover costs, they will raise prices where they can and where they can't they will cut cost often by reducing labor costs. And companies that can't do either will be reporting lower earning by the end of the year.Actually, he has a point.'President Trump said in a Twitter thread Friday that China is paying billions of dollars to the U.S. Treasury due to tariffs hours after he reignited the trade war with a tariff spike.

What he actually said was: "White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Sunday acknowledged that the Chinese do not directly pay tariffs on goods coming into the U.S."
We all know that. They most certainly can cover the tariff by reducing their prices. They covered a dime, soon we will see if they can cover a quarter.
You have a great day too.You fucking moron.
Now piss off until you get an IQ over 80.

Trump makes China pay US taxes without increasing US consumer prices, Yah Trump!
We are discussing tariffs.What the fuck are you talking about?
I pointed out the LACK of inflation. Here, let me simplify it for you:...First you talk about rising inflation....
I'm discussing tariffs that have already been paid. This graph only includes PAID tariffs....Then you talk about tariffs on goods that have not even been tariffed yet...
Chinese Exporters.... you are blathering on about the Chinese government lowering prices to cover tariffs?...
You have a nice day too....You have not a fucking clue what you are talking about.
We are done here, for now. Waste someone else's time with your silliness.
Have a nice day.
Trump's right on the US negotiating strength compared to the China'sActually, he has a point.'President Trump said in a Twitter thread Friday that China is paying billions of dollars to the U.S. Treasury due to tariffs hours after he reignited the trade war with a tariff spike. This is a claim he's made before, including back in January, when he said it twice during a press conference and on Twitter.
Reality check: The tariffs are paid by U.S. importers of affected Chinese goods, not by China's government or by Chinese companies. Importers then either raise costs on consumers, lower their own profit margins or both.'
President Trump is wrong on how China tariffs work
What a fucking idiot Trump is...he does not even know how a tariff works.
Hey MORON...it's an import tariff. Why the fuck would China pay for an import tariff? Moron.
What a useless piece of shit he is.
i) The tariffs are being paid.
ii) Prices for American consumers on balance are stable.
therefore
iii) Americans aren't really paying these tariffs.
Reuters reported,
"China on Friday threatened to unveil an unprecedented hit list of 'unreliable' foreign firms, groups and individuals who harm the interests of Chinese companies as a slate of retaliatory tariffs on imported U.S. goods was set to kick in at midnight.
"The commerce ministry did not single out any country or company, but the threat could further heighten tensions after Washington this month put Huawei on a blacklist that effectively blocks U.S. firms from doing business with the Chinese telecoms equipment giant."
Communist China makes a profit of $1 billion a day doing business with the United States, in large part because it bought off American presidents and the Chamber of Crony Capitalists.
We are not engaged in free trade because Red China is a communist country that uses slave labor. We should never have let it enter the World Trade Organization.
Real Americans should have no sympathy for those "American" companies hit by this. They sold us out.
And remember, tariffs are a voluntary tax. Buy American and avoid them.
Don Surber: Highlights of the News
The tariffs have not even begun to be felt yet...and the major tariffs have not even started yet and/or just started on some products.
The tariffs don't start the second Trump wants them...they take time.
And prices WILL rise on those goods that are tariffed...it is IMPOSSIBLE that they won't (unless a source for these products can be found that is as cheap as the originals...but if that were the case, why were the Chinese ones being bought in the first place?).
They won't largely change the inflation rate...there are not enough of them for that. But they will hurt consumers - especially the lower income ones who depended on those cheap Chinese imports to make ends meet...a few dozen extra dollars per month could mean a TON to them.
The DOW surged today on China's stunning reversal on the trade war.
Stick that one up your ass
