One Year After LIBERATION DAY! Where are we?

[citygator]

One year after the tariffs were implemented where are we? Did it achieve any of its objectives?

The answer is no. Even before the Supreme Court rightly ruled Trump doesn't have the authority to do what he did the results were terrible:

• $5 Billion fewer agriculture exports
• 90,000 fewer manufacturing jobs
• 120,000 fewer transportation and warehouse jobs
• $25B increase in trade deficit
• $175B in lawsuits pending for Tarif refunds accruing $700M per month in interest
• Manufacturing Construction is in freefall -14%

So production is down, the jobs are down, exports are down, Trifecta baby!

One Year After ‘Liberation Day,’ American Workers Are Feeling the Negative Effects of the Trump Administration’s Tariffs

The Trump administration’s tariff agenda has resulted in blue-collar job losses in nearly every state while failing to boost manufacturing or close the trade deficit in goods.

President Donald Trump’s foreign and economic policies—especially the administration’s chaotic tariffs and incessant tariff threats—have undermined the United States’ relationships abroad, unleashed profound uncertainty on the U.S. economy, and raised prices for consumers and businesses alike. Nearly one year after the “Liberation Day” Rose Garden event, where Trump announced dozens of country-specific tariffs, the damage of the Trump administration’s reckless tariff agenda is abundantly clear. But it is also important to recognize that these actions failed to achieve any of the results they were designed to achieve.

I honestly didn't think a President could surpass the last Sniffer In Chief but it appears that Trump may earn the crown for the worst Epstein Class President in American history.

I can tell you companies are selling their claims on the government refund to lawyers who are sure they will get a payout eventually with interest. The claims are selling for 70-75 cents on the dollar.

Meh, gas prices are headed down, it dropped another .5 cents in my AO this morning.....A .25 cent drop since last weekend.

For clarity are you saying half a cent (.5), or 50 cents ($0.50) or 5 cents?

His domestic and foreign policies have been disastrous for the US..............and now the world. Especially when you take in to account the environmental impact of him trying to crush the use of more renewable energy sources in favor of ones that make climate change worse.

Trump administration's $1B deal to stop offshore wind shows an evolution in its anti-wind strategy

The Trump administration’s $1 billion payout to a French energy company to walk away from U.S. offshore wind development is a novel tactic against the industry that supporters see as creative, but opponents see as foolish and extreme.
