It's a process, dummy. Be patient and let it play out.

Trump's fiscal policies from his last Administration are responsible for 25% of the current National Debt.

Biden and Obama are responsible for 50% of the National Debt.

The tariffs are to bring back manufacturing to the US.

$3T is committed by corporations so far.

It will take years for that money to make products. Construction jobs will be first.

Stock markets look at the next Fed meeting, no worries, earnings look okay for the foreseeable future.

The tariffs are going to drive manufacturing OUT of the USA, just like the last time he did this. Your trade deficit increased by 40% the last time this moron did this, and it still hasn't come down yet.

You're whistling past the graveyard here.

What is the date?

Get back to Me in a year.

Morons think it is perfectly okay to continue to drive jobs OUT of America in the name of the stock market and at the expense of the American worker.

The OP is the typical Gen alpha. If it doesn't happen in the next 10 minutes, I don't like it.

In a fucking YEAR ?

Where did THAT patience come from?

Way to many words to say nothing. Reagan would be aghast at Feon47 is sucking to a Russian Dictator. Reagan called Russia, "The Evil Empire". He would be way to liberal by today's Cult of 47.

Reagan called Russia, "The Evil Empire".

Obama said the 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back.
Obama offered the Russian Dictator more flexibility after his reelection.
Hillary offered the Evil Empire a "Reset", because Bush was too mean to Russia.

Yeah, that excuses Biden's/Obama's $18 trillion addition to the debt.

Biden eliminated Trump's tariffs, right?

Many people do not understand how tariffs work.

By raising the price of foreign goods, domestic production gets more competitive. This will eventually bring manufacturing back to the US.

By raising prices on foreign goods it will suppliers to rise the prices in order compensate. 47's Tariffs will cost the American Consumer anywhere between $6000,00 to $6,700.00 a year. This is econ 101. Highter prices are passed on to the consumer. Domestic production relies on foreign imports. As one rises the prices of those imports, the cost of those imports are passed to the consumer.

To lower the cost of manufacturing, manufacturers will look to reduce cost. To reduce cost, they will ship job overseas, thereby increasing unemployment. As unemployment rises, so will costs for consumer goods. IF 47 care so damn much about this country he would tariffs lower or even better end tariffs now, the DOW and S&P are sinking.

Tariffs are a totally stupid “answer” that will cost us all a shitload of money

 

[P F Tinmore]

Manufacturing is critical for our national security. We simply cannot rely on other countries that are sometimes hostile to supply us. Do we really want to be at the mercy of other countries for our computer chips, phones, etc.? Yes, the tariffs will hurt short term, but its something we have to do.

I am willing to listen to anyone here who thinks they have a better idea.

Indeed, tariffs for the purpose equalizing economies is useful. Hower, Trump's use of tariffs appears to be punitive.

Interest on the debt created by Obama and Buden causes Trump's to be much higher per year.

Reagan believed Tip O'Neill and the then Democrats who now are Progs that they would make meaningful cuts in social programs. They did not. So, Progressive lies in immigration and cuts in social programs in that era. Corruption comes from that. and as we see with DOGE we are finding a government filled with that is several times larger than that era.

So, here's the deal. Today, the NASDAQ and Dow Jones had their worst quarter since 2022. That's right. things are looking pretty grim. And yet, some fellow Trump supporters are still out here singing the praises of Trump's tariffs like they're the best thing since sliced bread. But if these tariffs are so amazing, why are the markets tanking?

At the end of the day, the stock market doesn't lie. If Trump's tariffs were really the economic miracle some people claim, we wouldn't be seeing this kind of downturn. So, to all the tariff lovers out there: maybe it's time to rethink your stance. Or at least stop pretending the stock market isn't screaming at us to do better

Markets know better.

Trump is ignorant on macroeconomics, and his love of tariffs is stuck in the 80's.

This can work, but not before a lot of damage has been done. All this damage, just to avoid increasing income taxes on higher earners. His pals.

Markets are adjusting

Trump is ignorant on macroeconomics, and his love of tariffs is stuck in the 80's.

Trump graduated Wharton, his advisors like Navarro, know that reciprocal tariffs will create fair trade.

This can work, but not before a lot of damage has been done. All this damage, just to avoid increasing income taxes on higher earners. His pals.

What damage? You want to go back to 90% income tax?

By definition, they are always punitive.
