Trump should have taken a basic economics course before running for office.

Would not change anything, except for maybe he could spin it better.
Do you a problem with increased taxes on your most of your purchases? Because that's what a tariff really is.
Many are not interested in the unconditional support for the Israeli gov't and the excessive focus on this one nation. There's 8 billion people on the planet and an inordinate amount of attention is being given to 10 million people.
oh please. you only know what you think you know. Raised prices on goods for awhile perhaps. Vendors have nothing to do with taxes. Patience young padawan. Understanding will come.
Most of my purchases? Are you nuts? I have heard that trade with China has utterly crashed because of the tariffs. So few if any of my purchases will be impacted by tariffs. It may be that things I wanted to buy are not available. But it is highly unlikely that many of my purchases, much less most of them are going to be increased by tariffs. What is far more likely in my case is that none of my purchases will have increased taxes. I may wind up buying American made goods which might be slightly more expensive, but not due to Tariffs.
There is another problem for China. If the US goal is even trade, where we sell as much as we buy there is a big problem. China used to buy US treasuries to balance the trade, but that is no longer. Also, much of the stuff they buy from us is to support their sales to us. So if their sales are reduced by 30% the stuff they buy from us will also be reduced by 30% and it still won't be balanced trade. Companies are figuring that out and they are also calculating that much of the items that China sells to other countries is destined to the US. So that also will be hit with tariffs. The point is that companies understand the goal is balanced trade and they realize that means almost no trade between the US and China. Hence, companies are pulling out in mass. That isn't simply jobs going and unemployment, and drop in domestic demand, it is also a collapse in foreign investment.
The bottom line is that China's economy without the US as a market is a 3rd world economy.
Their reputation has also been severely damaged recently with their "tofu dregs construction". The term "made in China" is again being equated with cheap junk.
