Is anyone else thinking this?

He may land 'on his feet', but we'll all be dead, dumbass!

Yeah.

You're the one who needs help.

 

[DBA]

Have you looked at the Dow Jones lately? How about the S&P 500? They are going south. Tesla sales are down 13% and Tesla Owners are selling their cars at a loss. The tariffs are for shit. YOU and I are going to paying higher on goods imported to the country. You're bullshit MAGA MAGGOT propaganda means nothing in the real world.

Were you alive in 2022?

 

[Hum Dinger]

At least I know the difference.

Are you a trannie, or just a fag?
asking for a friend

Apparently, you do not know the difference between a man if a woman of you do not think their genitals are a determining factor.

Tell you 'Friend' to keep his mind off of my genitals.

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

Well, it's not like the leftist dems would do anything but steal more of our money for their leftist causes with one hand while allowing the world steal from us with the other.

He who dares wins.

A mind is a terrible thing to waist

You are deflecting, son. What are you hiding?

 

[Hum Dinger]

Snort, then why are all the people obsessed over their genitals siding with and are members of your party?

Because we don't care about their genitals, and you're obsessed with them.

Other people's genitals are none of your business. Try not to think of them if you can.

 

[Billiejeens]

He is not destroying the economy, drama queen.

He is using this to negotiate fair trade and he will get it. You will see. But by all means, listen to the experts that have been telling you that climate change is an immediate extensional threat for decades, that the COVID vaccine will stop the spread of the virus.

I can hardly wait to read the excuses Democrats come up with to discredit Trump when we our economy booms.

Economists such as Paul Krugman are deities in the Progressive World
Yet he has never been right once.

Just an example

No one is talking about genitals except you.

It is in the chromosomes.

You should read up on the issue instead of wallowing in willful ignorance. It's a little more complicated that just genital- but I understand ....complicated is for smart people........you guys ....welll, not so much

Trump has a way of landing on his feet because he can afford legions of lawyers.

He may land 'on his feet', but we'll all be dead, dumbass!

How disappointed will you be if trump proves us wrong?

You beat me to it. It's why I was asking the questions to him/her.

 

[Hum Dinger]

Why do other countries tariff us? Why do tariffs exist at all if they don't help the country imposing them?

You guys don't think much.

When we choose free trade with China, it destroyed our industrial base. We learned that if you merge two very different economies it will be a disaster for one or both of them.

Countries set small tariffs to protect their people. It's a matter of balancing their economies so nether one suffers.

But tariffs should never be used destructively like what Trump is doing.

 

[22lcidw]

Florida has always been wall-to-wall anuses.

Well, if in your reckoning, suffer comes for us all, it won't be Florida going down the chutes first. In fact, the money that remains will come to areas deemed safer.

 

[TimFitz]

I don’t oppose tariffs if they are targeted to a specific country or economic sector.

The way to compete with China is to build economic alliances where we can control the market. Offer the alliance trade deals while you punish China

Trump has started a Trade War with the world
Unlikely we will win

They said that in 1930, too.

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

I can only hope

So far, Trumps vision seems very short sighted
He is taking a huge risk with our country that will have lasting consequences

White House Used 'Embarrassing' Formula To Come Up With Tariffs

Economists mocked the Trump administration's methods for calculating taxes on imports from abroad.

www.huffpost.com

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump claimed Wednesday that sky-high new taxes on imported goods would be “reciprocal,” meaning they were payback for tariffs other countries have slapped on U.S. exports.

"But the reciprocal tariffs turned out not to be based on actual levies imposed by other countries. Instead, they’re based on a formula made up by the White House ― and widely mocked by experts."



"Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a conservative economist American Action Forum and former director of the Congressional Budget Office, called it “malpractice” in response to another conservative economist who called it “embarrassing.”"

"The formula, which resulted in wildly different tariffs for various foreign countries, including several uninhabited islands, first came to wide attention thanks partly to analysis by an anonymous social media user who reckoned the percentage rate of the tariffs matched other countries’ trade surpluses with the U.S. divided by their exports. The journalist James Surowiecki also noticed the correlation."

the 1930 tariff came too late, the recession was in motion in 1929

This is not true.

Manufacturing has been declining as a portion of US GFP since 1955.

Both the American steel industry and the auto industry were in serious decline, owing largely to lack of investment.

 

[TimFitz]

Nobody knew that in 1930.

Hoover assured everyone that “Prosperity was just around the corner”.

The stock market was way off, but it didn’t resume its decline to the bottom until late in the spring. And mass layoffs only really started in the latter half of the year.

And the Smoot-Hawley tarriff only accelerated the decline.

Just as Trump’s idiotic tarrifs will do now.

 

[MagicMike]

The Democratic Party has so strongly opposed Trump to the point that if his use of tariffs proves successful, it could reshape the political landscape. If it boosts the economy, Democrats will likely struggle to win the White House for the next 20 years.

You cultists just can't stop worshipping this guy. These tarriffs are going to destroy our economy.
This morning two trillion dollars dissapeared from people's portfolios in 20 seconds....and that was just the initial shock.
It's going to get a LOT worse. Eventually we are all going to feel it in the form of higher prices and supply shortages. And the interesting thing is you can't blame any of this destruction on Democrats.
Republicans and MAGAts own it ALL now.
I guess that's the downside of all this "winning" you've all been crowing about since last November. Winning is only half of it.
After you win you have to govern. When you elected a convicted felon POTUS with six bankruptcies on his resume and a history of fraud you aren't setting the economy up for a very strong future. Trump was pretty much destined to wreck our economy...just like he has always wrecked his businesses.
Today the chickens began coming home to roost. It was only a matter of time.
Certainly can't blame THIS one on Sleepy Joe though, but I am sure you'll all try.


The breadth and severity of the levies dwarfed those imposed by Trump during his first term, threatening to upend global supply chains, exacerbate an economic slowdown and boost inflation. It also left investors struggling to game out what levies would do to corporate profits.

If Apple, for example, were to absorb the jump in costs as a result of tariffs on China, the iPhone maker’s gross margin could take a hit of as much as 9%, said Citigroup analysts led by Atif Malik.

The plan is equivalent to the largest tax increase since 1968, JPMorgan economist Michael Feroli wrote in a note. It could add as much as 1.5% to prices this year, using the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, while weighing on personal incomes and consumer spending.

Trump tariffs wipe out $2 trillion from US stock market

Approximately $2 trillion was wiped from the S&P 500 Index as new tariffs by President Trump raised fears of a recession. Apple, Nike, and other companies heavily dependent on overseas manufacturing saw steep declines. The levies could upend global supply chains, increase inflation, and depress...
