If sanctions are already successful, why did Trump have
to resort to tariffs instead, that is literally a slap on his own face.
Sanctions will not hurt ordinary USA citizens much, but tariffs are
going to hurt them directly in a big way. It is going to be a direct hit
on their pockets going forward. Put it this way, sanctions do cause
hurt on the sanctioned countries, but tariffs hurt the country imposing
those tariffs more than the victim, meaning the voters gets the big end
of the stick much more than the country being forced to pay those
tariffs.
Trump knows all about that, but he is a good liar and
snake oil seller. Trump is using the narrative that tariffs are going to
hurt China most of all and will force manufacturing back to the USA.
Trump already promised to cut taxes of the rich, and he has to find a
way to fund and replenish his coffers to do that. The rich donors like
Elon Musk and other high profile Hollywood celebrities have contributed
huge sums of money, thanking Trump in advance for his promised tax cuts.
Tariffs will be his way of overcoming the problem by robbing the poor
to help the rich. Robin Hood in reverse or Hood Robbing tactics.
Tariffs
are additional taxes on imports, already pointed out by analysts and
ordinary Tom, Dick and Harry, to be paid by importers and added to the
cost of the products sold to customers. Those customers are not Chinese
manufacturers or nationals, but USA citizens and voters. Understand that
clearly and you will see the true motive of the stunt that USA
politicians are trying to pull.
In any case, both Party
candidates have been trying to use tariffs against China during their
campaigning, which is why I say that there is little incentive for
Russia or China favoring which candidate to win. Russia and China cares
little about who sits in the White House, and the narrative that Putin
and Xi are trying to interfere in USA elections is just a phony
accusation and a moot point.

To be more accurate they are inbred hillbillies and rednecks. Most of them have never even left their country and probably only knows Mexico as their only foreign country. Instead of slapping their own faces, it's more like shooting themselves in the head.
One social media vlogger even said that USA trying to lure manufacturing back to the USA is a pipe dream. How can it succeed with its much higher labor cost, high material cost without the necessary supply chains in place and a lack of skilled workers. The situation has been made worse by the anti-Chinese movement started by Trump, which resulted in thousands of scientists, engineers and academics returning to China to contribute their talents to the innovation and development. Now Trump is even threatening to deprive birthright citizenship for immigrants. This is going to affect many allies like South Korea and India (the largest targeted group).
Can such manufacturing setups survive just producing for the USA market, or even adding the EU into its calculations, as they will not be able to compete against Chinese products in the Global South countries. Moreover, the Chinese consumer market is not possible for them to break into, with Chinese citizens now becoming more patriotic in their mindsets.
The Whites are also not the real owners of North America. They stole the land from the Native Indians, who owns the birthrights, not the Whites like Trump himself.
The know Mexico because Trump was always talking about immigrants coming from there. Other than that USA citizens are practically clueless about what is happening around the world.
But strangely they know a lot about China without being there, just being fed fake information by its MSM hyping upon China's poverty and crumbling infrastructures, its EVs on fire all over the country, its mistreatment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, its imaginary concentration camps built by their MSM.
For those who are unaware, China has more than 40,000 mosques throughout the vast country. How many mosques are in the USA and Europe? Admiral Zheng He was a Muslim, well respected by the Chinese court centuries ago. This show that Muslims were genuinely well treated in China, unlike the fake love expressed by the Anglo-Saxon Whites in Xinjiang, which had never been shown to be happening in the Middle East.
