In 2018, then-president Donald Trump put new tariffs on a variety of Chinese-made goods, including baseball caps, luggage and shoes – and Americans have been paying the duties ever since.
It’s not just fashionable accessories. Biden left in place tariffs too on steel, aluminum, did the new ones on EV cars that everyone knows about, actually lots of stuff
I won’t pretend to be qualified to say if these are good things or bad things. I know that generally he’s been accomplishing good things with the American economy, and I also know people will come out of the woodwork to say no he hasn’t he’s the worst thing since Margaret Thatcher, see he’s identical to Trump, and as a good leftist I’m voting for Grimace from McDonald’s instead to send a message and finally get things on the right track, and you should too
I’m not trying to talk about that. I just want to bring up that China complained about the steel tariffs to the WTO, and the WTO said hey yeah you guys can’t do those, we order you to take those tariffs away, and the Biden administration told them to go fuck themselves and then did a bunch more tariffs
Like I say I have no idea about the issues, but anything that involves openly giving the middle finger to the WTO from any American administration is, to me, a rare and wonderful surprise

Grimace is a corporate shill living off of the backs of every other citizen, their manager is a clown and they love it.
Not true. Grimace will burn the place someday, he’s just waiting for his time. Look in his eyes and watch him close, and tell me it’s not true.
Trump’s aluminum and steel tariffs were on all imports. Biden and the EU repealed all but the ones one on China.
