St George is a small city about two hours from here. Another small home grown business screwed by Trump's tariff scheme. Harming American businesses is not America first. It's reckless policy.

"We were trying to figure out first whether it was real. Do all these tariffs apply to us or are we missing something?" said Braxten Wilding, the company's vice president of finance.

"The unpredictable nature was the tough part," Wilding said. "It was 50%, no, 30%, no, 80%."

With multiple buildings and around 80 employees, Wilding Wallbeds is the definition of a small, family-run business. Dennis and Dan Wilding started the company. Their sons, Braxten and Caden, split finance and marketing duties, while cousin Brandon handles sales.

Wait...exporters don’t pay tariffs? Trump said they do...
 
"Finding a supplier here domestically takes time. I mean, it takes years,"

Horse shit....US fabricators are always looking for contracts. They just wanted cheap Chi-Com products.....Probably slapped a Made in the USA label on their stuff too.
Yeah, how dare they want to keep their costs down and charge their customers less....

Paying the price for importing shit from China.

"Home grown" but everything is made in China.

Riiiiiight.
 
Trump won Utah with almost 60% of the vote. They helped create this mess so good they are suffering the consequences of it

Not to mention the fact that with the Internet, the search is reduced to hours or days at most.

There are quite a few fabricators in St. George. It's kinda an offroading hub, so lots of people there to repair and build 4 wheel drive trucks.

How dare we screw America for profit?

Isn't the leftist line?

Profits are bad. Profits are evil.

I'm not familiar with the area, but I can almost guarantee that there are local craftspeople who make wonderful products that you would love to sell to a local store.

But that doesn't taint Trump so it is never considered.
 
Trump had his cheap shit made in China. You want to have his baby. How hypocritical of you.
I can't have babies. Until you learn basic biology, you should refrain from lying about your intellect by even trying to refute me.

Trump's product lines are subject to the same tariffs.

Here is how you avoid tariffs. You buy what is made in America.

Unlike crushing taxation on corporations, which ends up being a tax on Americans. Taxes they can't avoid because they apply directly to them.

Mardi Gras? Hey let's go stand in puddles of Urine getting loaded in 85% humidity with our backs to a bunch of thugs in the shadows, it'll be fun Stain say. Stain ruin every single thing.

Oops wrong board. Bowl game in Mobile was shilling for Mardi Gras.

But if you could, you'd want Trump to be the father. You'd probably take him up the ass if he offered.

The point is that he--as you put it--"screwed America for profit"....and you haven't stopped worshiping him in the last 10 years.

American businesses are raising their prices too because of the tariffs; both because they buy stuff from overseas and also to simply increase their profit margin. Hence the DJIA climbing more than it's falling.
