How did our government make money before the income tax?
Suddenly a deal has been made....

I voted for Trump to lower prices. I voted for him not to cause trade wars with other countries. Now we're all going to see price increases.
I hope those willing to endure the economic hardship so we can stick it to other countries can justify to me why this was necessary. Why did we need these tariffs when we could have done something to ease the pain here in America?
Don't tell me how I should feel.Trump promised trade wars with the entire world. You're getting what he promised. You should be happy.

Wrong. Yes we would have. However, you will note that Biden/Harris never gave any reason to believe they would do anything like what trump promised and is now trying to enact. If you say you didn't vote for what he is doing to our country you are either lying or you are an idiot. I say you are both.Surprisingly enough, I get lectures from leftists here who most likely wouldn't have cared if Biden/Kamala had done the same thing...
Only an insane person would be happy about trump's actions. Instead, you should feel ashamed for supporting all that crap.Don't tell me how I should feel.

Not so fast, Dog.However, you will note that Biden/Harris never gave any reason to believe they would do anything like what trump promised and is now trying to enact.
You're the one who refuses to read or consider anything that might show you to be wrong. That's fine. It's what is expected from MAGA cult members. If trump didn't say it, it didn't happen.Just offer your own perspective. Share your own thoughts. Show us all how smart you are. It's not too much to ask. That's how functional dialogue should work.
If you voted for Trump you voted for tariffs. He was 100% clear about that in almost all of his campaign speeches and television interviews. His use of tariffs is to end the pain here in America, namely the exodus of good jobs to other countries, unfair competition with American products, and to convince other national heads of state that they need to do what they must to stop the flow of dangerous people and substances into the United States.I voted for Trump to lower prices. I voted for him not to cause trade wars with other countries. Now we're all going to see price increases.

So? China isn't our closest neighbors and allies.Not so fast, Dog.
Biden will keep Trump's China tariffs, and add new ones on electric vehicles
The administration has been reviewing tariffs on Chinese goods since President Biden took office — steep duties on about $370 billion of imports from China each year, put in place by former President Donald Trump as one of his signature policy moves.
The Biden administration has decided to keep those Trump tariffs in place — and in addition, add a range of strategic items to the list. The decision was first reported by Bloomberg.
And YOU shouldn't tell me what to support. What is with you leftists telling me how to feel and what I should support?Only an insane person would be happy about Trump's actions. Instead, you should feel ashamed for supporting all that crap.
Trump was clear on what he would do. Lots of you MAGA cult members say you shouldn't believe what he says because he is just being hyperbolic. You, as a cult have often said "he would never do that" That's the stupid crap the MAGA cult is known for. .Of course I did. To be used in the manner for which may have secured the deal Delldude mentioned.
So those tariffs, kept in place by Biden weren't an issue, but Trump...............So? China isn't our closest neighbors and allies.
Sorry. It's just natural to try to help confused mental defectives. I guess you just don't want to be helped.And YOU shouldn't tell me what to support. What is with you leftists telling me how to feel and what I should support?
Mexico and Canada? That's childish arrogance in the extreme.So those tariffs, kept in place by Biden weren't an issue, but Trump...............
