In his comeback bid, Trump signals a return to his aggressive negotiation style, one he famously described in The Art of the Deal: “The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it.”
With China’s weakened economic state, Trump sees an opening to press for a harder deal. He plans to hit China with steep new tariffs of 60% or more on all imports, banking on their current vulnerabilities—real estate collapse, banking losses, local debt crises, and sluggish growth- pointing to potential long-term stagnation. China’s firms, now heavily reliant on exports, face heightened risk, making them more susceptible to U.S. pressure. Trump’s strategy aims to force Beijing to buy more American goods.
As Eswar Prasad, a trade policy expert from Cornell University, puts it, “The power balance has shifted in favor of the United States.” And he’s right. We’ve got the leverage, folks, and we’re not afraid to use it. China’s had its day; now it’s our turn.
So buckle up. It’s time for tough trade, better deals, and a stronger America.
The art of the deal? It’s back in business, and so am I.
