We have a freaking 5 yr old running this country.

This asinine tariffs idea never had any chance of working, isn't working and never will work. We hit them and everyone else hits us back. It's as predictable as the Sun rising in the East.
But the incompetent, unfit, leadership failure that is running this country just doesn't get the most primitive basic stuff. So instead of stopping this stupidity, they increase by a factor of 4 and have the gall to blame it on the Chinese because they reciprocated!!
So, if these go thru, China will retaliate in kind. More Americans will lost their jobs as companies that ship goods to China simply move production out of the US...more Chinese will lose their jobs as Chinese companies that ship to the US shift production out of China....and the next list of goods subject to tariffs will become more expensive in both countries.
The sheer stupidity of this is mind boggling...or it should be. For this CF of an Administration, it is just another day of desperately trying to deflect attention away from the Mueller probe.
“As a result of China’s retaliation and failure to change its practices, the President has ordered USTR to begin the process of imposing tariffs of 10 percent on an additional $200 billion of Chinese imports. This is an appropriate response under the authority of Section 301 to obtain the elimination of China’s harmful industrial policies. USTR will proceed with a transparent and comprehensive public notice and comment process prior to the imposition of final tariffs, as we have for previous tariffs.
