WRONG

Trump started a tariff war against China which is he is now losing.
Just like he did in his first term.

Honestly, I have no idea. Nobel prize winning economists can't agree. What chance do us mere mortals have!

It could be anything from gaining some relatively minor trade concessions, to a complete change in the global trading system, like when Nixon ended the gold standard in 1971. Trump's chief economic adviser, Marin, is saying that countries need to compensate the USA for the decades they have spent back-stopping the global trading system. The USA is drowning in debt, and it seems Marin wants countries who hold US debt to extend the repayment or even write some of it off.

How much were the Chinese tariffs. Certainly not what Trump's nonsense calculation stated.

You don't think a precedent like The Volker Shock might have something to do with it?

I can't make my mind up either. I can't think of any sensible reason for it, but he surely can't be that stupid? Or can he?

Why did he show the fake tariffs chart to the world when he knew it would be scrutinised? He didn't know what he was doing or just didn't care?

It's baffling.
