Trump is not stupid, he will not keep these tariffs in place much longer in my opinion.  He sees what the uncertainty is doing to the economy and will claim that most of the Countries gave in to his demands and declare victory.  That's just his M.O.  Hopefully not much permanent damage will be felt by the economy going forward.

It seems to me that the US should have trade deficits with most countries anyway.  We had a growing economy coming into this year and the US has much more wealth than most, so it just seems to me that naturally the US would be spending more since they have much more to spend.  Maybe that's too simplistic, but like the Lynyrd Skynrd song, I'm just a  simple man.

If Trump doesn’t keep them in place much longer it will be because countries have negotiated terms to have them nullified or reduced…. Dear Lord do you understand we are 36 trillion in debt and our national debt to GDP ration is well over 100% meaning that unless Trump fixes our trade deficit and brings back manufacturing there’s no way we can EVER repay the money we owe… Your heart maybe in the right place I absolutely don’t think your a bad person but I absolutely wonder what reality your living in 36 trillion which is almost 130% of our GDP and we should have trade deficits….. There’s no country in the world that is living with as much debt as we are and guess who owns the majority of our debt, the very countries you want a trade deficit with….

And your wrong Obama was more responsible for the national debt soaring than either Trump or Biden…. Did you even try and research or google it to make

Looks like you're wrong on Obama adding more to the national debt.  I can only imagine how much more Trump or Biden can add in 8 years.  I'm not sure if Trump's physical or mental health will make it 4 more years or not , but I'm afraid sure he will be the all time loser as far as the national debt race goes by a large margin if he does.

1. Biden $8.4 trillion in 4 years
2. Trump - $7.81 trillion in 4 years
3. Obama - $7.66 trillion in 8 years

Wrong. Adjusting for inflation, Obama added more to the national debt than either Biden or Trump. Trump and Biden's budget deficits also included ever increasing interest payments on Obama's huge deficits.

That is why every American who cares about their children, grandchildren, and future generations should be 100 percent behind Trump's efforts to slash federal spending by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, and by reducing the federal payroll.

If Trump fails, I doubt that any future politician will be willing to tackle the national debt. In the absence of spectacular action, our government and our economy will eventually crash and burn.
