First - tariffs are payed for by the consumer, simply because importers or parts importers will add these charges in parts or to the full extend onto their retail prices. If they don't, they have to lay off employees since they can't cover their existing overhead costs.

If importers charge more for their Chinese products, that leaves the door open for American manufacturers to compete. They are unable to do so now because the importers are able to severely undercut them. This is the point of tariffs. Yes, there will be a transition period, but ultimately this is better for our country.

Second - tariffs will thus make products more expensive, and those not effected - will not lower their prices, nor will they keep their prices stable, but will ADD onto their prices - trying to make a buck extra, simply because prices in general have gone up. It's called Capitalism.

Yes, products will become more expensive because we are no longer benefitting as much from the slave labor from many other countries. Consumers will purchase products regardless. The more expensive products is mitigated by tariff revenue, which could result in lower taxes, and higher levels of employment and pay in the US.

You do know that other countries tariff our imports, right? Why do so many of our trading partners have higher tariffs on US imports into their countries than we have on their imports into ours? At the very least, reciprocal tariffs make sense don’t they?

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.

It won't be that much, but there is a solution.

If imports are being raised to the level of American goods, the just buy American goods and support American labor.

Or is that concept beyond your ability?

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.

If what doesn’t happen in the next 10 minutes exactly?

The markets are tanking, for one, because of hap-hazard conduct in which tariffs are being imposed. Investors do not like uncertainty. Secondly, taxes on corporations are bad for profits. This is regardless of whether they're being imposed by Democrats through higher rates or Republicans through tariffs.

How both candidates were talking before the election, I came to conclusion that either way, we were screwed.

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

It's more about the uncertainty that roiling the markets (and Trump used the threat of tariffs repeatedly in his first term, mostly backing down after he got some concession ... except for JIna) And I'm all in for punishing Jina, but as was the case in his first term, it's hard to bash Jina and the EU simultaneously. And he's 78 which is way too old.

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.

Birthclass Warfare

The plutocracy's White Replacement economics requires that those new jobs go to foreigners. Legal or illegal, it doesn't matter to those who believe all other Whites are stupid, lazy, and greedy

Can you explain the mechanism on why a stock market falls because of tariffs being implemented?

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.

"Read My Lips" Should Have Been Given a Fat Lip

The only people—they don't deserve to be called "Americans"—who benefited from Cold War I made a lot of money off it and their gutless unAmerican sons never had to fight in its proxy wars. These slimeballs have been pushing "Russia hasn't changed" since Bush Senior was Vice-President.

Real Americans, if they hadn't had their backbone crushed, would have twisted Junior's smirking lips until they bled.

Chickenhawk Clique

Which indicates that they are spoiled brats used to getting a sure thing. They always brag about "risk-taking," but these huffy-puffy blowhards never follow through on their boasts. If they control the narrative, they don't have to practice what they preach.

That task falls on Conservative of Georgia.

How did you feel when Biden increased Trump's tariffs dramatically...

"The tariff rate will go up to 100% on electric vehicles, to 50% on solar cells and to 25% on electrical vehicle batteries, critical minerals, steel, aluminum, face masks and ship-to-shore cranes beginning September 27, according to the US Trade Representative’s Office.

Tariff hikes on other products, including semiconductor chips, are set to take effect over the next two years."

Biden Admin said at the time, according to CNN, that tariffs protect "American workers and businesses."

Ah, the covert poster. I take it you're Conservative of Georgia's lackey. By the way, Conservative of Georgia has gone quiet, he/she doesn't know.

If he/she is gonna make a statement, at least they should know the subject. What do you say dipshit?
