It may be still several months away before Christmas, but the reality is that replenishing the empty shelves may not be coming that early, as supplies have to be made under new contracts that should have been struck as of now, today. But such contracts are still hanging in the air, waiting for someone to wake up and blink.
Chinese manufacturers need to prepare raw materials, prepare logistics and production schedules to make products that are required as far down the road as Christmas. It is not a case of resorting to magic or at the snap of a finger as what Trump had in mind. Everything sounds so easy for conman Trump, as easy as asking Mexico to pay for the wall, as easy as winning trade wars, as easy as settling the Ukraine War within 24 hours and as easy as imposing tariffs that is the most beautiful word discovered by Trump. The mind of a kindergarten kid, no less.
Trump thinks getting back deported migrant workers is going to be a piece of cake, in particular for the agricultural and F & B sector when the shit really hits the fan and when food shortages get really serious. Doing so means walking back on his earlier gloating of giving such jobs back to the voters, who are not interested in doing such back breaking jobs. It will be the same with manufacturing jobs, or sweatshop jobs that the voters are not conditioned to take up.
We have not yet seen the worst yet with stockpiling over the months, and by mid or end of May, all hell will break lose in the USA. That record deficit indicates how much stockpiling had been going on in March to tide over the present crisis, but not for long.

Looks like a retarded child in USA is calling all children to make sacrifices for his sake.
