US imposes major tariff hikes on Chinese imports, EVs hit with 100% duty

 It is called a tariff.

No, traditionally tariffs are narrowly targeted to protect a domestic industry that is producing a similar product. 

 

Trump wants to make a blanket tariff on everything regardless if there is a domestic manufacturer of a similar product. You can call it what you want but it works just like a national sales tax with the tariff paid by the consumers at the POS.

 

In your mind why does Trump continue to lie about foreign countries paying the tariffs when it is the consumers that pay them?

 

Inflation is a big issue this election shouldn't people know that Trump's plan is going to lead to more inflation?

       Lying again. Post a link where he says he wants to make a blanket tariff on everything. Inflation has BECOME a big issue because of brain dead Biden's administration. President Trump has been out of office for over 3 1/2+ years and inflation has been a problem and continues to be a problem since Biden took office. Quit your lying - everyone knows the truth.

  As usual, your post was delibertly misleading. You provided no link where he actually said what you claim and your link only provides an article saying that he has a plan to do as you state. Provide a link where he actually says what you claim.

The debate moderator summarizes Trump's tariff position. Trump agrees and then defends by saying China is going to pay them which we both know isn't true.

  Why do you keep making shit up? Post some valid facts - not innuendos....

A video of the debate is a valid fact. PJ didn't make anything up. Trump said exactly that. You can access a video of that from any of a hundred different sources if you don't like the one Mark provided.

 

It's pretty cowardly of you to not admit when you're dead wrong. Like your orange hero, you have no character.

  The debate video proved that President Tump did not say anything about the amount and percentage of tariffs.
