China Slaps 84% Tariffs as Trump's Trade War Blows Up Global Markets
Trump’s economic time bomb just went off. Hours after his 104% tariffs on Chinese imports took effect, China hit back with crushing 84% retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods—escalating the trade war into full-blown economic warfare. Global markets plunged. Allies turned against us. And American businesses braced for impact as recession fears deepened.
This isn’t strategy. It’s sabotage. While Trump spews empty boasts on social media, real families are staring down higher prices, lost jobs, and wiped-out savings—all to fund a nationalist fantasy built on economic arson.
Key Developments:
China raised its tariffs on U.S. imports to 84%, up from 34%, in direct retaliation for Trump’s 104% duties on Chinese goods.

Sources: NPR, ReutersJPMorgan economists now place the odds of a global recession by year’s end at 60%, citing the “self-inflicted” damage of Trump’s trade policy.

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?
The winners? The robber barons and political arsonists cheering this chaos from the sidelines. The losers? American families now staring down higher grocery bills, collapsing retirement savings, and a job market on the brink. Trump’s fake populism just handed the economic reins to foreign adversaries and corporate price gougers.
🔍 Why This Matters:
Trump's trade war isn’t about protecting American workers—it’s about consolidating power through economic destruction. Every tariff hike, every retaliatory strike, is another blow to American stability. The longer this chaos drags on, the more families get dragged under.
🚨 The Bottom Line:
The GOP didn’t just wreck the economy. They lit the match, poured the gas, and walked away. This isn’t economic policy—it’s a scorched-earth campaign to destroy global trust, tank the middle class, and hand the ashes to the robber barons.
