Democrats Propose "Tariff Relief Fund" for China

The relief package includes reparations for the trauma Chinese factories endured from mildly delayed iPhone orders.

Washington, D.C. – In a move that’s left economists scratching their heads and pandas blushing, House Democrats unveiled a bold new plan yesterday: the “China Tariff Relief Fund,” a multi-billion-dollar love letter to the Chinese Communist Party aimed at soothing the sting of President Trump’s trade tariffs. Citing what insiders call “extreme TDS,” party leaders, backed by Wall Street tycoons and mainstream media cheerleaders, declared their undying devotion to China’s economic well-being, even if it means throwing American workers under the proverbial trade bus.

“It’s not about America anymore—it’s about fairness to our dear friends in Beijing,” sobbed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries at a press conference, clutching a stuffed panda he claimed was “a gift from President Xi himself.” Flanked by colleagues waving red flags (purely coincidental, they insist), Jeffries argued that Trump’s 145% tariffs on Chinese goods are “a hate crime against dystopian dictatorships.” The relief fund, he explained, would funnel U.S. taxpayer dollars to Chinese factories, ensuring they can keep churning out budget-friendly products and knockoff sneakers without the pesky burden of trade barriers.

The fund, which would allocate $50 billion in taxpayer dollars directly to Chinese manufacturing enterprises, was immediately praised by The Washington Post, which called it “a bold step toward international compassion” and “a critical blow against economic bullies with bad blonde comb-overs.”

“Look, I’m not saying we love China more than America,” clarified Senator Chuck Schumer while sipping bubble tea on a Zoom call with CCP operatives, "but their high-tech systems of population control and oppression are truly a sight to behold for aspiring totalitarians. Facial scans on every street corner, social credit score system, now that's what I call progress! Not to mention their stellar handling of Covid," he concluded with a chef's kiss.

Wall Street, never one to miss a party with free Chow Mein, has thrown its full weight behind the plan. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, sporting a silk dragon robe at a recent earnings call, called China’s retaliatory 125% tariffs on U.S. goods “a brave stand for economic justice.” Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman, who once urged Trump to pause tariffs to save businesses, now moonlights as a Beijing tourism ambassador. Sources say Wall Street’s sudden Sino-philia stems from hefty investments in Chinese markets, with one trader admitting, “My portfolio loves China more than a gender confused Gen Z-er loves TikTok.”

The mainstream media, meanwhile, has turned TDS into an Olympic sport, penning tearful op-eds about China’s “heart-wrenching plight.” CNN’s prime-time special, “Tariffs: Trump’s War on Wontons,” featured pundits lamenting the “cultural tragedy” of pricier polyester slippers. The New York Times ran a 5,000-word exposé claiming Trump’s tariffs are “trade war crimes against humanity,” while MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, visibly shaken, proposed a national day of mourning for every Chinese factory worker facing a tariff-induced pink slip. “China’s pain is our pain,” Maddow intoned, wearing a Mao cap she swore was “ironic.” She further warned viewers that tariffs could lead to “a dangerous increase in American manufacturing jobs,” which she described as “the gateway drug to nationalism.”

But what’s behind Trump’s tariff tango? The president, who’s been called everything from “trade war tyrant” to “economic Einstein,” argues that tariffs level a playing field tilted against America for decades. China’s trade practices—like subsidizing exports and undervaluing the yuan (their currency)—have long flooded U.S. markets with cheap goods, gutting American manufacturing. By hiking tariffs to 145% (down from a threatened 200% after exemptions for electronics like iPhones), Trump aims to make domestic production competitive again. Economists note that while short-term price hikes sting—like a $2,300 iPhone scare that never materialized—long-term gains could include millions of new factory jobs and a revived Rust Belt.

Trump’s already notched wins elsewhere, though you’d need a magnifying glass to find them in the media’s doomscroll. His 90-day tariff pause for over 75 countries, announced last week, sparked negotiations that slashed trade barriers with Vietnam and South Korea, boosting U.S. exports by 15% overnight. Canada, spared from lumber duties, agreed to buy American steel, saving 10,000 jobs in Pittsburgh alone. Yet, the headlines scream “Chaos!” and “Recession Looms!”—a narrative that conveniently ignores how tariff pressure is forcing global players to court U.S. markets, not China’s.

Why the media blackout on Team USA’s wins? Critics point to a toxic brew of TDS and ad revenue from Chinese firms. “They’d rather sell America short than give Trump any credit,” said one steelworker. Instead, outlets hype China’s rare earth mineral bans as “heroic resistance,” glossing over how they’re scrambling to diversify supply chains.

As Democrats finalize their tariff relief fund, complete with plans for a “CCP Celebration Festival” featuring free dumplings for donors, one thing’s clear: they'll do whatever it takes to undermine Trump, even to the detriment of every day Americans. As one Democratic aide reportedly said behind closed doors, “If Trump cured cancer, we’d start a GoFundMe for tumors.” And so, the China Tariff Relief Fund moves to the Senate, where it’s expected to pass along party lines—just in time for a state-sponsored thank-you video from Xi Jinping projected onto the Empire State Building. Rumor has it the final draft of the bill includes a clause mandating every American household display a photo of Chairman Mao “next to the one of Dr. Fauci.” And in a final Farce Feed twist, Nancy Pelosi is reportedly donating her collection of used chopsticks to the cause—proving their panda pandering knows no bounds.
