President Trump announces new tariffs: 25% for steel, 10% for aluminum

So much for the free market conservatives.

Conservatives think big government should dictate pricing. Sounds kinda socialist...

They also think the government should dictate who a company gives a discount to, so this is no surprise from them

he just fullfilled another campaign promise!

He promised to be a protectionist during the campaign? From what I recall he promised to "negotiate new trade deals", not pursue protectionist trade policies and risk incurring retaliation from our trading partners.

I wonder if he realizes who ultimately pays the price for such tariffs.

They really aren’t conservatives at all... they seem to be what they claim to hate. Sad but funny at the same time.

My conspiracy theory for the day:

If you were a globalist, what better way to push your agenda than to put a wolf in sheeps clothing in the White House to talk about “merica first” and then to make America weaker economically and to weaken our position all around the world.

They are though the reason our country is moving left so rapidly. The left has always pushed our county left and in the past the right pushed back the other way. But more and more the right is helping push left out of some need to “teach the left a lesson”.

The better way would to push the agenda would have been to just let Prince Nimrod keep his White House gig, he was doing a splendid job of making America weaker economically and it would have saved the few billion dollars that we blew on the election.

But the people would not have gone along with that. Now we have half the populous cheering as we get weaker

... but on the bright side, it was the OTHER halves turn to cheer, so at least nobody can accuse our political system of being impolite.

The last thing Wall Street wants to hear is “tariff”.

And it was up for the day prior to the announcement from Trump

only 548 as of now Tariffs?? There goes the tax breaks

 

[RealDave]

Should we allow other countries like communist China to dump steel in the U.S. killing jobs for American workers? That's what liberals in this thread are saying. If China dumping steel into the U.S. was hurting illegals the liberals would be in an uproar.

We have anti-dumping laws dickbrain.

And go over and take a look at the market because of this. Here goes a trade war.

It raises the cost of some of our exported manmufscturing items making them less competitive in the global masrket whilke inviting import duties of our products overseas. This is what happens when you elect an idiot for President who does't know shit about real business..

Oh shit the tax breaks have slowly been dwindling away in the past few weeks with the cost of goods going up.

Get back with us at the end of the year and again tell us how these tariffs are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Nope he and his gang are too goddamn stupid.
