Title: Poll: Farmers Support Tariffs On China

A survey conducted by Iowa State University has found that farmers in Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois support President Trump’s tariffs against China. According to the study, nearly 60-percent of respondents in those states expressed support for the ongoing trade war, while 14-percent had neutral feelings on the matter.

This comes after Beijing announced earlier this month it would be suspending purchases of all U.S. agricultural farm products in response to the Trump administration’s recent round of tariffs targeting $300 billion in Chinese imports.

Although the heightened trade tensions between Washington and Beijing has resulted in a near $10 billion decrease in U.S. agricultural exports to China, domestic farm exports have continued to rise. This suggests other countries have started buying products that China has dropped.

Nonetheless, farmers feel the tariffs have put pressure on their industry with nearly 80-percent of respondents saying they fear farmers will bear the brunt of the trade dispute. President Trump has been eager to address this fear.

“Again, they’ve said this many times, they’ve said they’re going to buy farm products, so far they’ve disappointed me with the truth,” he stated. “They haven’t been truthful or let’s say they have certainly delayed this decision, but it’s their intention to buy a lot of farm products and we did, we had a very good call with China.”

On Tuesday, the president announced he will be holding off on a number of tariffs scheduled for September, so consumers won’t be affected during the holiday season.

“We’re doing this for Christmas season, just in case some of the tariffs would have an impact on U.S. customers, but so far they’ve had virtually none,” explained President Trump. “The only impact has been that we’ve collected almost $60 billion from China, compliments of China, but just in case they might have an impact on people, what we’ve done is we’ve delayed it so that they won’t be relevant for the Christmas shopping season.”

Real Americans support Tariffs.

It's funny - seeing you pontificate on what a "real American" is.

I guess the farmers being screwed should just shut up and take it.

Nobody is being screwed. Not one person.

This is America support Americans not commies.

You are wrong so much of the time.

There is no right to buy made in China in the USA.

We should stop all trade with those commies you love so much.

If you say so chump.

Farm income is way down, bankruptcies are way up, and farmers are relying on government payments to make ends meet.

So, of course, it’s the perfect time for Sonny Perdue to joke about “whining” farmers. #CantMakeThisUp https://t.co/Mj26XbKmPv

Perdue’s characterization of struggling farmers as “whiners” came after the Trump administration announced it will impose a 10 percent tariff on $300 billion of Chinese goods starting Sept. 1, a significant escalation in the ongoing trade war between the two global powers.

The Chinese government. We've collected $60 billion in tariffs from them them.

Normally, we do agree with economists who say that the consumer ultimately pays for tariffs. And it is true.

So, if Apple chooses to produce iPhones in China, that is their choice and they need to plan to pay the tariff for using that cheap labor and high environmental costs. If Apple wants to produce its new Mac Pro computer and sell the base model in America, they need to make decisions. The base model of Mac Pro is $6,000. The price goes up rapidly. For a full-blown version, it's about $45,000. Then you can buy the $5,000 monitor. If you want a $10 aluminum stand for the monitor, that's another $1,000. But Apple just had to move production of the Mac Pro (last redesign in 2013) from America to China. Because, you know, Apple is so damned poor. We really need more subsidies so these precious geniuses don't just starve. There are barely 76,000 millionaires in the main county where Silicon Valley is located. How do they put food on the table for their waifs?

If you already thought that the Mac Pro was expensive, it may get even more pricy thanks to the US and China's ongoing trade war.

Apple filed a request with the Trump administration in July, asking that certain parts required for the Mac Pro would be exempt from Chinese trade tariffs. “There are no other sources for this proprietary, Apple-designed component,” Apple said in the filing.

The Mac Pro wasn’t mentioned in the filing but the following components, used in the Mac Pro were: a CPU heatsink, a graphics processing module, a computer frame and enclosure, as per a Bloomberg report.

Trump had promised relief to companies that can demonstrate that that parts can only be obtained in China. He has also tweeted that companies won’t face a tariffs if they make goods in the USA.

But Trump isn’t prepared to offer any such support to Apple. "Apple will not be given Tariff wavers, or relief, for Mac Pro parts that are made in China. Make them in the USA, no Tariffs!" wrote Trump at the end of July.

As a result Apple will be charged duties of 25 per cent in order to bring those parts into the US.

Where will the Mac Pro be built?

In its quarterly earnings call on 30 July, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook said that “We’ve been making the Mac Pro in the US. We want to continue to do that. So we’re working and investing currently in capacity to do so, because we want to continue to be here”.

The 2013 Mac Pro was built by Flex Ltd in Austin, Texas and was stamped with “Assembled in the USA”. An Apple spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that the new Mac Pro is designed and engineered in the US and includes US-made components, emphasising that “Final assembly is only one part of the manufacturing process”.

There had been reports that the Mac Pro assembly would be moving to Quanta’s Shanghai factory in China, with the Austin, Texas factory closing, as per this Wall Street Journal report from June.

Yeah, I have Apple gear. That doesn't mean I don't recognize real assholes when I see them. I like Trump's demand that Apple build them here in the factory in Texas. Not dump their workers in Texas and move it all to China and whine about those bad Trump tariffs cutting into the earnings of the billionaires at the most valuable company in the world.

Currently, I've read articles about the big retail chains like Walmart and others trying to spread some of the tariff pain across their entire operation so the tariffs don't show up so much. It isn't clear exactly how that is going to work in the 2019 X-mas retail season.
