You’ve heard the howls, haven’t you? For months, it seems, the mainstream media and their Democrat echoes have been in a near-constant state of apoplexy over President Trump’s tariffs. “Trade wars are bad!” they shriek, “He’s going to crash the economy!” they wail, conveniently forgetting that for decades, countries like China have been playing Uncle Sam for a sucker with lopsided deals that gutted American industry.
One almost has to wonder if some of this high-pitched outrage isn’t just a little… sponsored. Could it be that some of these globalist-coddling critics are more worried about their benefactors in Beijing than about American jobs and security?
It’s a fair question, especially when you see them twist themselves into pretzels trying to paint every bold American-first move as a catastrophe. But while they were busy clutching their pearls and penning frantic op-eds, President Trump was, as usual, busy doing something else: winning. And this latest development with China? It’s a masterclass in his “Art of the Deal,” leaving the naysayers looking more foolish than usual.
And Just Like That, a “Total Reset” with China
Just when the professional pessimists had their eulogies for fair trade written, the Trump administration announced a landmark 90-day deal with China. According to The Post Millennial, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods are set to plummet from a hefty 145% down to 30%. In return, China’s tariffs on American goods will drop from an equally imposing 125% to a mere 10%. President Trump himself, as reported by The Daily Wire, hailed this as a “total reset” in trade negotiations, achieved in a “friendly, but constructive, manner.” This isn’t weakness; it’s the result of strategic pressure finally bringing Beijing to the table for serious talk.
This 90-day period isn’t a final stop, but a tactical victory lap, allowing for further negotiations. The joint statement even spoke of “a sustainable, long-term, and mutually beneficial economic and trade relationship.” Translation: China blinked. They’re recognizing that President Trump means business when it comes to putting American interests first.
The Real Kicker: China Coughs Up More Than Just Tariff Cuts
But let’s be honest, the tariff numbers, while impressive, aren’t even the sweetest part of this deal. Digging into the details, particularly from reports by the BBC, reveals that President Trump secured concessions that go far beyond mere percentages. One of the most significant is on the fentanyl crisis, a scourge that has devastated American communities, largely fueled by precursors from China.
Trump didn’t mince words. As the BBC noted, he directly linked some of the tariff pressure to this deadly trade:
From ‘BBC News, quoting President Trump’:
“And they’ve agreed they’re going to stop that.”
That’s right. China has reportedly agreed to take action to stop the flow of fentanyl, a massive win for American families and law enforcement. Beyond that, Trump also stated that China has agreed to “open itself up to American business” and will “suspend and remove all of its non-monetary [trade] barriers.” This means more opportunities for American companies to compete fairly, creating jobs right here at home.
Wall Street Gets It, Even if Washington Whiners Don’t
Predictably, the markets reacted with a surge of optimism. The Post Millennial reported an uptick in Dow futures and the S&P 500 as news of the deal broke. The BBC further detailed shares in companies like Target and Nike jumping significantly. Clearly, those with actual skin in the game see this as a positive development, a sign of stability and renewed opportunity.
Of course, you still have the usual suspects, like Democrat Congressman Eric Swalwell, who, according to the BBC, tried to spin this as “Trump caves on China.” Bless his heart. It’s almost like they can’t comprehend a negotiation where America actually comes out on top. This kind of commentary isn’t just wrong; it’s a disservice to the American people who benefit from these hard-won agreements.
Another Notch in the “America First” Trade Belt
This China deal doesn’t exist in a vacuum. As The Daily Wire pointed out, the Trump administration has been actively renegotiating trade deals across the globe, signaling progress with nations like India, South Korea, and Japan, not to mention the recent framework with the United Kingdom. It’s all part of a coherent strategy: to dismantle unfair trade practices, protect American industries, and ensure that our economic relationships serve our national interests.
While the globalist establishment and their media mouthpieces may never admit it, President Trump is methodically delivering on his promise to fight for the American worker. This deal with China is just the latest proof that his approach – tough, smart, and unapologetically America First – gets results.
So, while the critics continue their chorus of doom and gloom, real progress is being made. It seems the only thing “crashing” is their credibility. For those of us who believe in a strong, prosperous America, this news is a welcome sign that common sense and firm resolve are back in the White House.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump’s firm stance forced China into a major tariff reduction deal.
- China conceded on fentanyl and market access, vital wins for Americans.
- This deal proves Trump’s “America First” trade strategy delivers real results.
