It's funny that Trump is spending his whole time trying to fix the problems that Trump caused.

And yet he'll tell everyone he's the best.

And they believe it.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

So, you don’t want zero tariffs…why?

WTF?
I just told you, numb nuts.

No, do your own homework

YOU made the claim.

And you are brainwashed.

 

[candycorn]

At least he has ideas rather than 12 yrs GOVT overspending Obiden.

Too bad none of them are remotely good ideas. How is that "Department of External Revenue" going? Not too good...how about the "Space Force" .

How about you put forth some ideas?

How about you put forth some ideas?

Encourage retailers to be open 24 hours like they used to be not so long ago. This would lead to more employment in the stores, more employment for vendors in the stores (many of whom would work overnight--cleaning crews for one group. It would be more convenient for customers as well.

End martial law in cities where he sent the military in. Nobody was using tear gas before the feds got there and decided it was time to start roughing people up.

Actually negotiate instead of letting the government slip into paralysis again

Stay out of the news for a few days and let things at least seem normal for a change. Seldom if ever can we turn on the local news and not hear about someone he's suing or threatening to bomb.

Pick a strategy and stick to it. You can't tell us what the goal of tariffs are. Not that you're stupid (but you are) but it has never been explained what the goal is. If it is to get more favorable trade deals, that's fine. Say so. If it is to reshore jobs, say so.

Stop being a dick.

Just some new ideas; all of which would work.

It has to make sense for retailers to be open like that...You stay open for 24 hours, and from 11pm to 8am 3 people come in....So, you double the retailers overhead, for no return....Fail.

End martial law in cities where he sent the military in. Nobody was using tear gas before the feds got there and decided it was time to start roughing people up.

There is no martial law in these cities. This is just inflammatory language, that the left seems to love...See, you don't want NG to protect federal LEO's because the violent left would love to attack them, all in the name of protecting illegal aliens from being deported....

Actually negotiate instead of letting the government slip into paralysis again

Negotiate? Is that what you call it? Or do you mean do what we want or else?

Stay out of the news for a few days and let things at least seem normal for a change. Seldom if ever can we turn on the local news and not hear about someone he's suing or threatening to bomb.

LOL...Tell your news outlets to seek some help from their ongoing psychosis...

Pick a strategy and stick to it. You can't tell us what the goal of tariffs are.

Sure we can and have...That is the tariffs are designed to even the playing field...I know you hate that, because you hate it when America wins.

Not that you're stupid (but you are) but it has never been explained what the goal is. If it is to get more favorable trade deals, that's fine. Say so. If it is to reshore jobs, say so.

WTF? You really are a keyboard warrior aren't you? Stop acting like a clown for a change.

Stop being a dick.

Aw, tantrum time for you?

The American people disagree. That's why you lost.

Well, it made sense before covid...every Wal*Mart in town was open 24/7 as was many restaurants.

There is no martial law in these cities. This is just inflammatory language, that the left seems to love...See, you don't want NG to protect federal LEO's because the violent left would love to attack them, all in the name of protecting illegal aliens from being deported....

Just military checkpoints and people getting injured. Just like martial law.

Negotiate? Is that what you call it? Or do you mean do what we want or else?

Look up the definition of negotiate.

Sure we can and have...That is the tariffs are designed to even the playing field...I know you hate that, because you hate it when America wins.

Yeah...you don't know what the purpose is so you resort to a cliche.

The American people disagree. That's why you lost.

So when the blob lost by 9M votes, that was you losing too right?

Maybe in your town they've assessed the business, and redone the hours...Take it up with WalMart.

Just military checkpoints and people getting injured. Just like martial law.

Show me the order of Martial law that was issued...There are checkpoints in front, or in proximity of ICE detention centers so that you morons can't attack federal agents doing their job.

Look up the definition of negotiate.

You look it up...I've seen how Democrats "negotiate" for decades.....

Yeah...you don't know what the purpose is so you resort to a cliche.

You're a real idiot...

So when the blob lost by 9M votes, that was you losing too right?

America lost, in many ways.

 

[ThisIsMe]

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.

I agree, there needs to be a fix to the trade deficit, but, how long before our economy starts to crumble because of this. Remember, we import a LOT of stuff from these very countries, and the tariffs make the prices go up. Its kind of hard to wage this war when our economy depends so much on imported goods.

Again I’m just asking your blob to encourage it. And for some reason you’re against it. Nobody knows why you are like this. Clearly you have an idiot reflex you cannot control.

You look it up...I've seen how Democrats "negotiate" for decades.....

Negotiations have lead to the US being the greatest nation ever. Again…your uncontrollable idiot reflex will not let you admit it.

You're a real idiot...

I just asked you the point of the tariffs. Your response was a cliche.

America lost, in many ways.

Cry me a river *****

So, in true Socialist form, you want Trump controlling business?

lol…Now that government is open, and y’all got nothing, they’ll negotiate…

I just asked you the point of the tariffs. Your response was a cliche.

I told you what it was about, that you don’t like the answer isn’t my problem

Cry me a river *****

There it is folks…dems like this ***** don’t care about Americans…

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?

A fine display of right wing brainwashing

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

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

Which they would not be. Getting hundreds of congresspeople -- most up for reelection -- to pass such a self immolating set of tariffs would not happen. That's democracy working. It's literally the point of our democratic republic and of having a parliamentary body not controlled by the executive that has power over the executive.

Only a lame duck, unethical and economically illiterate executive would try it. And we have protections for that, too.

What we should be most concerned about is th erosion of those protections by a cult of personality and a corrupt supreme court.

Too bad none of them are remotely good ideas. How is that "Department of External Revenue" going? Not too good...how about the "Space Force" .

Here ya go, get educated for once in your pathetic life.




AI Overview

The Space Force is the newest branch of the U.S. military, founded in 2019, that organizes, trains, and equips personnel to protect U.S. and allied interests in space. Its mission is to secure the nation's interests in, from, and to space, which includes defending critical assets like satellites and ensuring the freedom to operate in orbit for military and civilian needs. The service members are called "Guardians" and are responsible for tasks such as defending communication satellites, tracking missile launches, supporting rocket launches, and providing space-based capabilities to other branches of the military.

The trade deficits generally do not need to be "fixed". And people who say that have no idea what they are talking about or are intentionally lying to further their own ends.

First,those trade deficits exist because we have the largest economy in the history of anything. So we import a lot of goods. It's a sign of the health of our economy, not of being ripped off, despite what the economically illiterate President says.

If you force foreigners to buy more of the goods that are produced here, two things happen: our domestic prices increase, and the economy of the foreign country is damaged. They slow or stop producing the exports we want. The domestic prices of those goods then also increase. Everyone loses.

I see MAGA scrambling to parrot the shallow talking points spoonfed to them to shield the moron in the Oval Office. While grabbing their ankles for the huge tax increase and higher prices.

We will be studying this shit for years.

Untwist yourself, you’ll get a cramp.

Exhibit A^^

These people just don't understand anything about this. At all.

So they see an informative post they are too lazy to read or understand and get a crotch tingle that someone is criticizing their favorite fat rapist.

Then they have an emotional, reflexive outburst.

Rinse, repeat.

Count 'em up, just in this thread.
