President Trump is standing strong on new tariffs aimed at bringing jobs back to America. China hit back with a 34% tax on U.S. goods starting April 10th. Democrats in Congress are fighting Trump’s plan, but old videos show many of them used to support tariffs on China.
Democrats now claim tariffs hurt workers and raise prices. But footage from years ago tells a different story. Top Democrats once pushed for tougher trade rules against China. They said America couldn’t let China take advantage of us. Now they call Trump’s tariffs “reckless” and “extreme.”
The White House says China has charged way higher taxes on U.S. products for decades. Trump’s tariffs are about fairness. China’s unfair trade practices stole jobs and flooded America with cheap goods. The president’s team believes tariffs will force China to play by the rules.
Some Democrats are breaking ranks. Rep. Jared Golden says his party is wrong to oppose Trump’s plan. He backed a 10% tariff idea himself. Golden says free trade deals crushed towns that relied on factories. He wants policies that help workers, not global corporations.
China’s new tariffs target cars, electronics, and farm goods. Conservatives say this proves China fears Trump’s tough stance. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned other countries not to retaliate. He said America will hit back harder if they try.
Stock markets dipped over trade war fears. Trump’s advisors say this is temporary. They promise a “golden age” of prosperity once factories return. General Motors already plans to hire workers and boost truck production in the U.S.
Democrats used to blast China for cheating on trade. Now they side with Beijing over an American president. Critics say this flip-flop shows they care more about opposing Trump than protecting jobs. Voters remember when Democrats fought for fair trade.
The Trump administration says tariffs will fund tax cuts and pay down debt. They point to history when tariffs made America rich. China’s panic proves the strategy is working. Conservatives believe bold action now will bring back the American Dream.
