Yeah chief, there was an election last November. Should have been paying attention.

Others were posting about possible workarounds, including the idea that perhaps Americans could get things shipped to a third country with lower tariffs as a go-between so that the goods didn’t appear like they were actually coming from China.

Truly maximizing global shipping efficiency...

Sadly and logically, this is transshipment and if done to evade taxes by obfuscating place of origin, it is illegal. From what I heard, US customs does investigate that too, so it's not just an "illegal in theory but nobody enforces it" kind of thing.

Considering all of the other agencies that have had funding and staff cut, how equipped is customs right now?

I will never tire of reading articles like this. It's like the nectar of the gods to me.

Last week, Trump went so far as to claim that Chinese President Xi Jinping had called the White House to negotiate a deal, another claim that Chinese officials deny.

How hard would it be to prank him by spoofing caller ID and pretending to be Xi?

You don't have to spoof it. The fucking idiot answers unknown numbers.
