I didn't vote for long term tariffs.

The US consumes far too much, we buy too much, we over consume and that's why exporters to the US have done well, there's a demand for their goods. The United States more than ANY other nation is hooked on greed, consume, buy, buy, but that's all we do, that's why we see endless ads on TV and Youtibe and so on, we are HOOKED on consumption.

(facepalm)

lol. The whole world works that way. Know why communism doesn't work? Because people like stuff. They got tired of waiting in line all day for a potato.

We've never had good trade relationships with our allies, even Canada. They've been raping my state for years with tariffs and restrictions on dairy products, maple syrup, and lumber.

Baldwin Blasts Decision to Allow Canada’s Unfair Dairy Trade Practices to Stand, Hurting Wisconsin Farmers | U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin

Canada has never had anything even remotely resembling Trump's across the board tarrifs.

If Trump simply wanted a no-tarrifs deal with Canada then why the hell would he not simply demand THAT?

 

[Care4all]

But, but, but the chinky stuff sold at walmarx is the same thing!

Yet tariffs on China are less than Canada's....

All this does is make life much harder on the poorest and middle class, increases the tariff taxes collected on us without using the IRS to do so, for their $4.5 trillion dollar tax cut that goes mostly to the millionaire and billionaire....

Why are you so blind on this topic?

Kamala didn't have plans for inflationary tarrif wars.

Biden extended Trump's first-term tariffs. There would have been no likelihood of her stopping them. So there's that.

Just because I changed my mind doesn't make me stupid.

And, if Kamala had won, you would be saying the same thing.

Kamala has faults, the democrats have their faults for example unconditional support for Israel and Ukraine and many other things. But Trump is now a dictator, he is to all intents and purpose unrestricted, cannot be prosecuted for anything he does and he never listens to experts like economists or scientists, this is the madness of King George on steroids, a democrat president would never ever have acted as Trump now is.

 

[whitehall]

We have been in a freaking trade war for years and we are losing. Every country in the world took advantage of good old wimpy Uncle Sam until Trump came along. You have to wonder about the sanity of today's left when they put up with the antics of a mentally impaired president and his giggly excuse for a V.P. for four years but they expect Trump to fix the system in less than 100 days.

Trump is far from being a dictator. Dictators consolidate power, they don't actively work to get rid of it by firing people in the government they wish to rule the people by.

Honda is moving Civic production out of Mexico

I wish it was coming back to the US but not so far

Maybe later

No, they are not.

Mexico is fatter than the US. Good move.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Did you think he was joking?

Since he was elected.

Intel building $500B plant in the US.
Honda moving Civic production from Mexico to Indiana
Taiwan $100B chip manufacturing in Arizona
Open AI, Softbank $500B investment in AI infrastructure.

Tell me how any of those materially benefit you?

? Trump is extending all of those tarrifs and IMPLEMENTING HUGE NEW ONES that Kamala clearly wouldn't.

I know as someone on the right you hate to admit it, but it's true that Kamala's much less extreme economic policy was better aligned with what you actually wanted.

I'm fully ready for you tell me that I'm just putting words in your mouth by adding 2+2 and calling it a 4.

 

[Delldude]

You voted for a man convicted of fraud, you voted for Project 2025, you voted for whatever Trump does, you carry some of the blame, the man is a maniac and now he is unstoppable, he can literally do absolutely anything he wants, anything.

Ya, people insist walmarx and dollar general sell the same thing as a quality store, and I'm the blind one.

 

[hondo 50]

But marxists being triggered by Trump's annex Canada comment is quite humorous.

 

[YoursTruly]

Sure, but I didn't think he'd use them to this extent. My mistake entirely.

I get that. Trump lies so much, it's hard think that one of the few things he was honest about, was tariffs.

Ooo, another financial guru on a forum!
