Ep086 - What Did TRUMP'S TARIFFS Really Get From China?
Manage episode 485052915 series 3646594
After yet another Trump's Tariff Pause®, is it worth asking what exactly we got in concessions from China? Is our national security better? Did we re-shore manufacturing jobs? Have we changed our bilateral trade deficit with China into a surplus? I can't find anyone to explain it to me in a way that makes sense. So I talk about why it proves there's no plan here - there's no genius "Art of the Deal" style negotiation strategy happening. And then I talk about why Trump accepting a new Air Force One from *checks notes* a country that actively supports terrorism in the Middle East is peak absurdity.
