But I thought tariffs didn't increase prices!

[j-mac]

Why is it that Trumpsters think that the only way to do something is the chaotic caveman way?

Why don't they understand that we can agree on an issue -- such as optimizing tariff policy -- but disagree on how to approach it?

Is this REALLY all that ******* complicated for them? Is this really THAT FAR over their freaking heads?

Problem is Mac1958, your preferred candidate did not win....How do you think Kamala would have approached the issue?

They have for the moment....

And will continue to do so, for lack of alternatives.

That's one of the economically illiterate aspects of Trump's "Surprise! Tariffs!". It takes time for alternatives to be brought to market, whether by domestic producers or foreign producers with lower tariffs.

Which then creates another unforced error, when the wind changes direction and Trump ends the tariffs. The producers scrambling to get their alternatives to market (at the newer, inflated prices, thanks to artificial inflation of their competitors' prices) will be left holding an empty bag, when the economically illiterate President deletes the tariffs on a whim.

And the ones who do get their alternative goods to market, as mentioned above, will be able to gouge the consumer. Why continue to sell your product for a dollar, when your competitor has to charge $1.50? Just sell your product for $1.30 and tell everyone what a good deal they are getting.

He claimed that crap last time too and it never materialized.

Stupid OX. Russia, Flu and stolen 2020 get a clue arsewipe. No one invests in chaos. This time maybe it will hold up? Much to your chagrin//

Not everyone hates US success as much as you do.

 

[leftwinger]

No proof of your claim in any sense....

So, it's just wrong when Trump does it?

If all tariff's were zero around the world, what would our products need protection from?

Then it would be "regulations", extra redundant testing, qualifications, slowdowns at customs etc. They wont stop unless we stop them.

Tap out accepted.

Don't worry, my informative post was meant for the readers in general, not for someone like you.

This will be a fun thread to revisit about a year from now.

But you won't and would never. Stain rush off to the next manufacturered Commee crisis like sheep.//

BUT TRUMP IS PLAYING FIVE LEVEL CHESS I TELL YOU

Only MACSTAIN can go to all CAP level insanity over "fairer" trade practices.

They aren't "fairer". No educated and informed person would say so. Only Trump and those who are naive enough to believe him or those who pay their rent by lying for him.

Well, then you should have posted in a fresh box, and not quoting me....

But, I'm not "tapping out" of anything, especially not from a post from you. That's for sure.

Nah, I posted it as a response to your comments. I was never under any illusion you would understand all of the words and ideas I posted.

It just needed to be said.

Still going. You will tire out eventually.

But what you definitely will never do is thoroughly read and try to understand what I posted to you.

Don't have to, it's repeated ad nauseum by every America hating POS on this board.

I guess some people are happy with Trump's huge tax increase ^^.

That's cultism for ya!

Notice Trump doesn't give two shits until he perceives it is hurting the volume of his applause.

They simply don't know what they're talking about.

This is Dunning-Kruger, 24/7/365. Pointless.

Like, not even a little bit.

The only person on the planet that they trust is an economically illiterate moron.

Notice the shift from his MALA (Make America Last Again) to name calling and associated BS.

The display of a weak mind right there.
