TARIFFS: Ross Perot was right. At midnight, triple-digit tariffs hit China, targeting their strategy of flooding global markets with cheap goods to fund military expansion and challenge US dominance. Without access to America, the world’s top consumer, China has nowhere else to sell: Europe lacks demand, and domestic buyers are shrinking with falling birthrates. Economic pain means mass layoffs, and mass layoffs threaten communist control. To avoid chaos, the U.S. must bury Beijing’s ambitions with diplomatic finesse, not a hammer. Asia’s lining up to cut deals, and Trump holds the cards. If he pulls this off, he may not just reshape trade—he could rewrite history.
