Trump scraps tariffs on beef, coffee and tropical fruit in a push to lower grocery store prices

President Donald Trump has announced the removal of U.S. tariffs on beef, coffee, tropical fruits and other commodities.

Well, maga, you have been played, BIG TIME!!

We knew it all along, that Trump's beloved tariffs are nothing more than a heavy, debilitating, punitive tax on American consumers, especially hurting the poor. But, since day 1, Trump has spewed nonsense BS that tariffs are paid by the nation he imposes them on. If so, why stop the "trillions of dollars pouring into our country," in order to help Americans at the grocery store? Makes no sense.
It's nothing more than a full admission by Trump that his tariffs were taxes all along. Some of us were smart enough to see that!

You been played, maga. Why not just admit that you are nothing more than Trump suckers!

Bigly!!!

Shouldn’t you be screaming Da ballroom! Da ballroom!

It's what happens when government has too much power over trade.

It's what happens when an unfit executive is not checked. I will blame this more on moral hazard than I will the system, though I think we would agree that laws limiting this behavior should be made.

Same thing.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Same thing.

It is not the same thing. The executive is flaunting executive power it actually does not have, by the spirit and letter of the law.

Exactly. That's your only beef with it. You really don't have a problem with manipulating trade for political reasons.

It's different when we do it!

It has become crystal clear that Trump's only real motivation for these tariffs is to show others he has power.

That's a reach even for you. So bad its actually a reach-around.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Exactly. That's your only beef with it.

No, I am not adverse to changing the system. But to say the government having too much power is the reason a president is using power he does not have is not a sound argument.

I'm we would agree on some things, regarding government powers over domestic/foreign trade.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

That's a reach even for you.

No, it's pretty clear that he not only knows less than noting about how tariffs work or why they are used. It's also pretty clear that he doesn't much care that he is conscripting Americans in his trade war with his huge tax increase.

He is placing tariffs just to place them. To show he can.

We tariffs their products, now they are tariffing ours

They had tariffs on USA goods for decades. And they cheat, regulate, holdup, re-qualify, lie, sit for paperwork...anything they can to sell theirs here but block ours there.

Good bye RCA, magnovox, Studabaker. Hello Honda, Samsung, TCL.

Do you want the inner city welfare class to go to work in a factory? Or you are happy to sit back and borrow $2T annually to pay for feed and breed while watching Oprah?

Get on the Trump train. All aboard. At least he has ideas rather than 12 yrs GOVT overspending Obiden.

No, I am not adverse to changing the system. But to say the government having too much power is the reason a president is using power he does not have is not a sound argument.

The tariffs would be causing the same problems if they were imposed by Congress.

It appears he only thinks about 30 minutes ahead on anything.

The opposite of what an intelligent, stable, visionary leader does.

This is a child.
