The renowned historical figure, Benjamin Franklin, famously declared, ‘Nothing is certain except death and taxes.’ In light of recent events, it’s evident how the phenomenon known as Trump Derangement Syndrome has clouded the minds of many Trump critics. When President Trump announced and imposed rising tariffs on a multitude of countries worldwide—his ultimate goal being to create a balanced economic environment and increase pressure on countries like China, known for exploiting the U.S for years—the immediate reaction was loud protests from ‘progressives’ and RINOs who lamented the perceived ‘madman’ in the Oval Office.
Countless critics across the nation lined up to censure Trump, declaring that he was pushing the United States into (a) chaos, (b) a recession, or (c) a depression by initiating a ‘trade war’ with China. These individuals, considered part of a 2025 Fifth Column, were empowered and supported by the Associated Press’ skewed coverage. On the other hand, the Salem news program THIS WEEK ON THE HILL offered a different perspective with Chang’s insightful analysis of the U.S.-China tariff dispute, where he boldly stated that President Trump has the upper hand.
Chang asserted that China’s escalation of tariffs on American products from 84-percent to a much higher 125-percent was essentially a symbolic action. His argument was based on the premise that at the original 84-percent rate, coupled with various stringent policies by the Chinese government against American retailers, U.S. goods were already fiercely restricted from entering the Chinese market. He continued to elaborate stating that, ‘China, of course, doesn’t have much ammunition in this trade war because they’re the ‘trade surplus’ country with a comparatively smaller economy…President Trump is holding all the high cards.’
Chang, currently a revered Senior Distinguished Fellow at the Gatestone Institute, unapologetically portrays a realistic illustration of America’s economic hurdles. However, he maintains an optimistic vision concerning the eventual outcome of the stand-off. He believes that China’s current strategy is to apply pressure on President Trump using Wall Street, the agricultural lobby, and other sectors, with the hope of intimating him into submission. Among his many observations was one critical analysis, ‘Our President is less likely to surrender, because he is fully aware that the U.S. market can’t be replaced.’
In conclusion, Chang anticipates that President Trump will emerge as the victor in the Tariff War against China, though he cautions that the road will be challenging and contentious. His rationale is that China is fully aware that a loss in this tariff war could lead to the potential downfall of their economy. Against this visually striking landscape of a topsy-turvy global economic wrestling match, he advises the Internet trolls and ‘Hands Off’ demonstrators to reconsider their protesting efforts, as they may be seen as nonsensical once the history books of 2025 have been written.
Lastly, Chang offers some poignant advice to China, hinting at its inevitable defeat in the tariff war. He suggests that, since it appears that they will ultimately be on the losing side, it would be prudent for them to reconsider their stance, embrace the changes, and join Trump’s global economic approach. Doing this would alleviate their anxiety and allow China to refocus on its core mission: to return to the path of growth and Making China Great Again.
