Another episode of delusion: Donald Trump spins mad fantasy, regrets ‘saving’ China with tariffs

You know what a knight in shining armor the president of America is, swooping in to save and solve disasters he created, just so he could do the swooping? Yeah, he has done it again.

Donald Trump has successfully ruined America’s relationship with long-term allies with his insulting remarks, boasts, and, of course, his damaging tariffs that he keeps applying and removing. Yep, that’s the president, and apparently his formula to achieve greatness for America. Perhaps the most visible example of his mood swings and their aftereffects has been the tariff drama with China. It escalated to the point where China raised tariffs on U.S. goods to 125% in April, signaling a firm stance against U.S. protectionism. In a bid to stabilize relations, both nations agreed to a 90-day mutual reduction of tariffs in May, with the U.S. decreasing tariffs to 30% and China to 10%.
