China can probably still export via other countries, because the US dept that is supposed to check all these loopholes have been destroyed by doge.

After first trump war, a lot of Chinese factories moved to South East Asia and Mexico (assembly and re-export). 

These countries who benefited from Chinese investment are now being hit by high US tariff.  The tariff may be following Chinese factories around the world. 😂

So what then is Trump's end game?

Too much news for casual readers to track

While this is going on - I need to know, is this something a sitting US President can do without the support of his government?

I read somewhere that the president can execute first then get the approval from the parliament within 60 days.

I dun think it needs 60 days... executive order can be overturned by congress and federal court. With Trump's ah bang ah dek, very difficult to overturn in Congress. Only hope is someone sues in federal court, Court of Appeals and Supreme Court....

Trump is winning. This is some 4D chess game at work, peasants don't understand.

I think Ukraine knew this first how unreliable his words is. Discuss one thing on the table, when draft contract is out, not a single thing agreed on is on the draft

1. trump raise tariff for China to 125%

2. trump pause 90 days on tariff - stock market went up, billionaires cashed out. That's how you play the market. The poor guy on the street is the one paying for it.

3. Amazon cancelled inventory orders from China due to tariffs.

does it mean that those 75 countries actually kiss his ass?

Shock everyone with a high tariff rate so they’ll be relieved to pay “only” 10%. But they’re still paying 10% more than before? This guy basically has a joystick on the stock markets, up and down as he likes
