So, guess what? Donald Trump—Captain Tariff himself—is now saying the tariffs on China will “come down substantially.” You remember those 145% tariffs he slapped on Chinese imports like he was a reality show judge handing out sentences? Yeah, those are apparently “negotiable” now. Why? Because the stock market had a panic attack and CEOs from Walmart and Home Depot gave him a phone call that probably started with: “Don, you’re killin’ us, buddy.”

This is classic Trump. He talks tough like he’s Rocky Balboa in a trade war, but the second Wall Street gets a sniffle, he turns into a door-to-door vacuum salesman begging for five stars on Yelp. One day it's "America First!" The next, it's "China, let’s be friends. I’ll be very nice. I promise!" Very nice? What is this, a Tinder date or a trade war?

Let’s be real—these tariffs weren’t about helping workers or protecting jobs. They were about optics. Red meat for the base. And now that those optics are costing billionaires real money? Suddenly, it’s "Let’s rethink this." The guy who once said China was “ripping us off” is now basically handing them the receipt and saying, “Sorry for the mix-up, please come again.”
Meanwhile, Americans paid the price—literally. Higher prices, empty shelves, and companies eating costs while Trump played economic arsonist and called it patriotism.
So next time Trump tells you he’s “fighting for the American worker,” ask him: “Before or after the Walmart boardroom meeting?” Because the only thing getting protected here is corporate profit margins—and maybe his ego. But definitely not you.
