The Trump administration is postponing some of its new tariffs on Chinese imports — a significant retreat in the trade war that has rattled financial markets on both sides of the Pacific.
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced on Tuesday that 10% tariffs on certain popular consumer items — including cellphones, laptop computers, video game consoles, computer monitors and some toys, shoes and clothing — will be postponed until Dec. 15.
'What we've done is we've delayed it, so they they[sic] won't be relevant to the Christmas shopping season,' President Trump told reporters.
I guess it really is easy to win a trade war: just saber-rattle but never actually do things.

If I replace "easy" with "stupid" it makes no sense, so not sure what you were going for.
And if it costs too much for a new muffler you will go without or watch some youtube videos on how to diy.

Seems to work for me. Have you checked to see if your computer was plugged in?

That isn't a clever change of meaning due to substituting one word. That is just rewriting the quote to be what you want for some reason.
