As Expected, Trump's Incompetence Showing Bg Time

[JLW]

So says the Wall Street Journal

“President Trump will fire his first tariff salvo on Saturday against those notorious American adversaries . . . Mexico and Canada. They’ll get hit with a 25% border tax, while China, a real adversary, will endure 10%. This reminds us of the old Bernard Lewis joke that it’s risky to be America’s enemy but it can be fatal to be its friend.

Leaving China aside, Mr. Trump’s justification for this economic assault on the neighbors makes no sense. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says they’ve “enabled illegal drugs to pour into America.” But drugs have flowed into the U.S. for decades, and will continue to do so as long as Americans keep using them. Neither country can stop it…

Mr. Trump sometimes sounds as if the U.S. shouldn’t import anything at all, that America can be a perfectly closed economy making everything at home. This is called autarky, and it isn’t the world we live in, or one that we should want to live in, as Mr. Trump may soon find out…

None of this is supposed to happen under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement that Mr. Trump negotiated and signed in his first term. The U.S. willingness to ignore its treaty obligations, even with friends, won’t make other countries eager to do deals..”

Opinion | The Dumbest Trade War in History

Trump will impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico for no good reason.

*************************I]

When you elect a dolt as President, expect him to make stupid decisions. This trade War with Canada and Mexico is just idiotic considering that it was Trump himself that renegotiated a new trade agreement with them only a few years ago.

Like everyone who has done business with Trump will attest: his word is garbage.

The 10% to China is on top of Trumps earlier tariffs and the 100% Biden hit their EV industry with etc. Next is the EU by the sounds of it.

Your response is knee jerk.

First, the tariffs against Mexico and Canada make no sense. As Trump himself re-negotiated a trade deal with them and they are among our largest trading partners.

Second, the trade war is going to cause rampant inflation, and,

Third, as the WSJ points out, Trump’s rational for the tariffs against Mexico and Canada are based on falsehoods.

By the time Trump leaves office the economy will be in the shitter just like after his first term…only this time it will be much worse.

His first term ended with 1.4% inflation.

He had the best economy we ever had before Fauci and China released COVID.

The only way you commies are going to sabotage President Trump is another bio weapon that kills millions.

Democrats are out killing every chicken they can to create food shortages for Americans.

An American voting for democrats is like a chicken voting for Gavin Newsome

Look in the mirror for the commie, Red. You Red MAGA will destroy this nation with your idiocy. Just like you to attack the WSJ because you are at heart anti-capitalist. It is why you in particular spout anti-Ukraine Russian propaganda and seem perfectly happy to see a resurgent USSR.

I expect that type-post from a guy who calls himself Satan. It is a relief to be your opposite.

How many of those companies will move here to avoid those tariffs?

Why are we running Just In Time auto parts to our auto manufacturers from Laredo and Windsor instead of making those parts here in America?

I'm The Great Satan, which is what your ilk call America.

You align with democrats

Democrats are perverted freaks and traitors involved in a plot to intentionally collapse America and usher in the great reset.

 

[Missourian]

Why is Mexico the seventh largest vehicle manufacturer with 76 percent of those vehicles exported to the United States?

"Mexico is the world’s seventh-largest passenger vehicle manufacturer, producing 3.5 million vehicles annually. Eighty-eight percent of vehicles produced in Mexico are exported, with 76 percent destined for the United States. Established automakers in Mexico include Audi, BMW, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jac by Giant Motors, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, Nissan, Stellantis, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Tesla, which recently announced a new plant to be built in the state of Nuevo Leon as part of its electric vehicle production."

Mexico - Automotive Industry

This is a best prospect industry sector for this country. Includes a market overview and trade data.

Why aren't we building those cars here? Employing AMERICANS?

Commie?

Because I believe we should focus our resources on building and manufacturing most of our own goods? Because I believe we shouldn’t promote dumb wars overseas? Because we don’t support exploiting third world brown people for cheap labor?

What Democrats think is best for America and what Americans think what is best for America are 2 different things.

Democrats want the intentional collapse of America for their NWO.

But drugs have flowed into the U.S. for decades, and will continue to do so as long as Americans keep using them. Neither country can stop it…

WOW! The WSJ has a fucked up attitude when it comes to Americans dying.

Nuffin can be done...don't bother trying. (that is essentially what they are saying).

Very disappointing WSJ! VERY disappointing!

Funny isn’t it. My view is closer to old line conservatism and you are closer to old line radicalism.

I believe in building our manufacturing base; I don’t beleive in idiotic trade wars against our allies.

I believe in Reagan’s Peace through Strength; I don’t believe in dumb wars.

I believe in keeping the Russians contained; I don’t believe in Russian expansionism and a resurgent USSR.
