LOL@ CNN, worse than a fart in an elevator.

Trump wants more tariffs. His earlier trade wars cost Americans $230 billion to date


Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of imposing a 10% tariff on every good coming into the US, as well as a tariff upward of 60% on all Chinese imports if he regains the presidency.

Biden increases tariffs on $18 billion in Chinese imports in a new warning to Beijing


The increases will apply to imported steel and aluminum, legacy semiconductors, electric vehicles, battery components, critical minerals, solar cells, cranes and medical products. The new tariff rates – which range from 100% on electric vehicles, to 50% for solar components, to 25% for all other sectors – will take place over the next two years.

Sounds pretty dumb to me, Gordon. If you want to reduce CO2, you need to do this:

Chinese manufacturer BYD’s Seagull electric vehicle retails for roughly $10,000, a fraction of what rival American products cost.


Who cares about American union labour? Free and fair trade always wins the race. I guess this means more Chow cars for us, eh?

China number one! Sleepy Joe number ten!
