A man still with his twig and berries looks like a woman to you, if he claims to be a woman. Your ability of observation is doubtful.

Define a trade war and tell me how it doesn’t apply to our current situation.

Because most of the tariffs are pending, and they haven't sat down at the table yet to leave the table in huffs and prolong everything?

Because Doug Ford threatened 25% tariff on hydro power electricity sent to the US.

Yes. because Trump put in 25% tariffs on Canadian goods. See how this works?

Is there one country who does not employ tariffs?

No, yet we are all led to believe that Trump is destroying the world economy with his tariffs via Legacy media.

Are tariffs good for the economy? Not really, because it is just a tax and taxes never help an economy, which is why Trump and the GOP need to follow his tariffs with tax breaks for Americans to help improve the economy.

Tariffs are simply economic warfare between countries that everyone does.

In fact, Joe Biden even kept some of Trump's original tariffs when he took office. In fact, Joe Biden increased them.

Am I sold on tariffs? Not really, IO am sold on taxes about as much as I am tariffs, but like taxes they are there to feed the bureaucracy as world bureaucracies of various countries go to war with each other.

Now what really hurt the world economy was the Left shutting down the entire world economy while Joe Biden was in power, something no one will ever own.

You're an idiot with a very small hands view of trade, economics and history.

Tell us all again how the Smoot-Hawley Tariffs lifted us out of the republic caused Great Depression.

Yep, lots of posturing before either negotiations, or an actual trade war.

Bring it.

How much is pending? It’s a mystery.

The Associated Press reported that roughly 62 per cent of imports from Canada would likely still face steep tariffs, according to a White House official who insisted on anonymity to preview the new executive order on a call with reporters.

"would"

Again this is all the posturing phase.

It seems apparent Trump has no idea what he's doing or why.

Which is why we get retconned stories about dairy tariffs that basically no one actually cares about until they're told to care about it.

So you don't think he should be talking to anyone? Dude, November 5 2024 was real, you should come to terms with that before you shit on your brains.

 

[jc456]

If you want to hear bullshit prognostication, listen to Trump for a few minutes.

You say the tariffs are only for negotiating and will be gone, he says we are going to collect hundreds of billions from tariffs and be rich.
Which is it?

they did go away. so yeah.

 

[jc456]

Food prices are UP
Inflation is UP
Unemployment is UP
The only thing that went down so far.
The stock market is DOWN

Yet Trump promised to "fix" much of the economy on day one.

went up under xiden, where were you?

 

[jc456]

I believe the milk tariff is a thing, but it’s a tiny part of overall trade.

You can’t explain. You believe it because you want to believe it.

That’s it. That’s all there is.

there are other line items, perhaps look it up and stop counting on others to do your homework, it isn't our jobs.

 

[jc456]

There is no trade war yet, just a lot of posturing and back and forth.

So far the only weakness has been shown by Canada, with those stupid "Remove the American booze from out shelves" stunt.

I bet the people of Canada would have something to say about that. Hilarious how out of touch the canadian elect is toward their people, they think they are dictators and they must listen and follow. hilarious.

how? one needs to actually be tariffing and that hasn't happened yet. You know that right? It's all negotiations, a thing demofks know nothing about.

when the demofk has nothing to say and posts a bullying insult as some tough guy. Hilarious infant you are. My insult back.

Its not before. We are now in a trade war with them.

Yet he doesn't appear to be acting this way with China. Interesting that.
