How do you STILL think this isn’t all intentional? They know what they’re doing. They don’t care if we can afford it or not. This is about the conservatives’ bottom line, lol. They don’t care about you, America, China or whether any of it works.

It doesn’t do anything for their bottom life because the tariff is something we pay TO CHINA

A tariff is what you pay to the government of the port of call to get the item you purchased.
When you pay $100 for a DJI drone and it get’s to Seattle the US government says “pay us $60 or it goes back on the boat.”
The Chinese company sees literally zero impact other than possibly less orders and probably a wave of refused merch.

Russia wants to pit the US and China against each other to distract and destabilize them both. So all of this is great for Russia’s bottom line.

The tariffs got them elected. The fallout of them is a write-off and not their problem.
