America has raised it to 245%, and the White House gives a reason, which reveals that Trump has lost his mind.
The White House released a statement on its official website, emphasizing the increase to 245%, stating that Trump aims to "make America great again." The statement particularly points out that due to China's retaliatory actions, the rate was increased to 245%.
This is the reason given by the White House, but this behavior has already exposed America's nervousness.
Firstly, after China capped it last time, the US side remained inactive and kept retreating, making concessions and compromises. However, China did not fall for this, and the US had no choice but to play numerical games. In fact, there is no difference between 245% and 125%, indicating that the US is just putting up a false show of strength.
Secondly, it reveals that Trump has lost his mind, not only losing his rationality but also his intelligence.
Thirdly, this operation by the US is essentially a staged political show aimed at appeasing domestic voters. Since Trump's supporters generally have lower education levels, he plays some numerical tricks for them to see. He believes that the bigger the number, the more resolute it appears, but in reality, it is merely using absurd means to cover up his incompetence and anxiety.
Trump now resembles an uncontrollable internet celebrity, constantly increasing the stakes just to attract attention without caring about the consequences. This is not state governance; it is mere showmanship, turning the dignity of a world power into his personal traffic material.
