Tariffs will mean all things get more expensive, not cheaper, this tends to drive inflation higher, and faster, not slower. That's my understanding.

The orange man's approach to economics is similar to his approach to business. It is shallow and lacks understanding. The American people are going to find a lot of the products they are used to buying suddenly being much more expensive. This doesn't help anyone. If you need a plastic bowl, not buying a Chinese one won't really boost the American economy.

All of the orange man's businesses have failed so it is not surprise that his economic theories for America are not going to help anyone but his buddy buddy elites, like the Musk for example.

It will be interesting to see what happens with China. I imagine they are already selling into the EU so I don't know what they could do to sell more.

Here in Australia we rely on China buying a lot of our resources. A downturn in their productivity will kick back to them buying less of us. This whole tariff thing will affect a lot of stuff everywhere from an economics viewpoint.
