Fox Business reporter says it’s the ‘White House who capitulated’ on tariffs: ‘Let’s be clear’

China has an economy more well rounded than we do, America is only 15% of China's exports, and since the rest of the world is mostly not tariffed getting around the China tariffs can be done.....for instance by sending stuff to Vietnam before its goes to America.

China has Russia and Iran to teach them about this sort of thing.

Which will still make those products cost more once they get here. No matter how you look at it, we are going to pay more.

While MAGA world treated Donald Trump’s sudden about-face on his “Liberation Day” tariffs as a masterful gambit and proof of the president’s “Art of the Deal” prowess, Fox Business correspondent Charles Gasparino injected a dose of reality on Wednesday.

“Let’s be clear,” Gasparino noted just moments after the 90-day pause on most of the president's so-called “reciprocal” tariffs was announced. “It is the White House who capitulated.”

Gasparino, however, pointed out that the president backed down when push came to shove – even though Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent boldly claimed that this three-month pause was the president’s plan all along.

Trump isn't a planner. At most he bought into a Project 2025 type plan and when things got sticky he hit the panic button and here we are.

Trump believes being a bully and a blowhard = having a high IQ. He's not a "reader" and has staffers give him the highlights of reports before pulling a decision out of his ass without the details necessary for an informed decision.

While he's a narcissist and truly believes he's always the smartest person in the room, he has a low self-esteem problem (which drives his bullying) and is too stupid to accept there are others smarter or better educated than himself.

Well same as us if you want it you will have to pay for it. And we know with tariffs this high the exporting country, ( manufactures ) will just add them to the price of what they are selling.
It is the consumer that will be paying for the tariffs.
 
I all those who have no clue as to what is going on in the background.

China responded to President Trump’s tariff threats by creating AI videos showing fat Americans working in warehouses.
The videos featuring chubby Americans toiling away in factories went viral on social media — a way to mock the Trump administration’s aim of returning manufacturing jobs back to American soil. Take a look:
