That "train ride" costs the average household $XXXXX in lost income. While traders celebrate a dead-cat bounce, the admin’s tariff—the highest in a century—is a tax paid by Americans buying shoes and clothes, not by Beijing.

The admin claims foreigners pay, but BLS data shows Chinese exporters lowered prices just XXX% against a 30-point tariff hike. That means U.S. firms and consumers absorbed the cost, paying up to XX% more for shoes. This isn't a trade war victory; it's a self-inflicted wound.

Mistaking the tremors of a controlled demolition for a market rally.
