Well said, any administration built on scam, swnidle, collusion and cover-up is doomed to fail. Is it possible that these tariffs are to fatten the Treasury and then give himself another tax break?
Not sure about the tariffs for tax breaks. Its possible I suppose. As we saw with the first round to tax breaks, there need not (or need
no longer be more accurately) any offsets to the revenue lost through tax breaks for the uber wealthy anyway. The tariffs are designed to do one thing; stick it to someone…anyone…and this is the governmental equivalent to a WWE bodyslam. There was no damage done to the person (nation) that got slammed but the crowd (trump’s moronic supporters) goes wild!!!!
For example:
The wall of tariffs that Mexico will pay for.
so mexico pays for the wall just as trump said.
And this one is just laugh inducing…
President Trump always said that Mexico will help pay for the wall *OR* there will be repercussions like tariffs, etc.
Next.
Fees for money transfers, work permits, visas and tariffs will pay for the wall no problem
When people call Trump supporters stupid…this is the gold standard. A tariff is not paid by the exporting nation but the importing party. Mexico will never pay a penny if we put a zillion percent tariffs on everything that comes from them. Ford Motor Company who has a plant in Hermosillo, Monterrey, Chiahuahua and a few other places down there will pay the added costs of importing items that come across our border. This hurts their shareholders (Americans), their families (Americans), and their spin-off businesses (mostly Americans). The average person in Mexico and their government never feel the bite at all unless the factories move back to the US to avoid the tariff. Which won’t happen. What you will see is that if the tariff remains over time, the factories in Mexico will not export goods to the US but send them to the Ford assembly plants in Europe, Asia, etc…. thus hurting American manufacturing even more. The same sector the tariff was supposedly going to help.
Anyway, I am hopeful that the examples I gave above are just guys who like to argue and they don’t actually believe what they wrote.
Then again, the title to at least one of those threads was “Liberals…what has Trump lied about” which is comedic gold if someone really has to ask for proof of the whoppers Trump has told and continues to tell.
