President Trump has been a remarkable leader

[SeaMajor7]

Ridiculous. I would be saying same if it was anyone else crazy tariffs.

This country used to RUN on tariffs until the commies invented INCOME TAX.

This country used to RUN on tariffs

And there are very good reasons why that's not the case anymore.

When broad tariffs are implemented they damage America's reputation, trade and economic efficiency in general.

View of both liberal and conservative economists generally does not differ much in the view that protectionism slows economic growth in the long term.

Trump has hanged his hat on fringy economic views that will be a total loser for him and Republicans he is dragging along for the ride.

This rebalancing is…wait for it…INFLATIONARY. We get the great pleasure of PAYING MORE for things imported from EU.

Thanks Trump! I love paying more and can’t believe I doubted how good you are.

Inflation is…wait for it…wait for it…DOWN under Trump.

You want to hate Trump so much, you’ll never bring yourself to admit he’s been one of the two greatest leaders the U.S. has ever had in the Oval Office

Einstein, do you think there was perhaps some REASON I was buying them?

Yes. Because you don’t under basic economics.

 

[P@triot]

You think it's bullshit that when you tax imports they start to cost more to consumer?

And yet every nation in the world had tariffs on the U.S. (including our allies). I guess every nation hates its own citizens, huh genius?

Our maybe, just maybe, they understand the value of making foreign products more expensive so citizens will buy domestic products, ensuring their currency stays at home and creates more jobs since more domestic products need to be manufactured.

It’s unbelievable you how the left doesn’t understand basic economics.

No you wouldn’t. If Obama was in office right now and doing this, you’d be fellating him like there was no tomorrow. TDS is one hell of a disease.

ROTFLMFAO!!! Where in the world did you come up with that gem??

1. How exactly does it “damage America’s reputation”?
2. Who the **** cares anyway? Are you a small child? You care what other nations think about the U.S.?!?

Funny how they didn’t “damage” Canada’s “reputation, trade and economic efficiency in general”

The low-IQ left hates basic facts. Imagine asking people to stop pasting links to information. Frankly, I have zero respect for people who don’t paste links (such as yourself).

Dummy my every other post contains links and anyone that reads my posts knows it.

Those links are a SUPPORT to what I say.

You on the hand can't coherently explain anything and use links to make your arguments for you...without even understanding what is in them and how it relates to what you quote.

Mentaly underdeveloped person like you calling someone low-IQ is irony itself.

Japan has average tariff rate of 4%, Trump seems hellbent on settling them at 10-20%.

What the f are you talking about?

I’m talking about you moving the goalposts. First you said “tariffs are bad” because they “damage” the “reputation, trade and economic efficiency in general”.

But when I pointed out that every nation on the planet is blasting the U.S. with tariffs, you move the goalposts and cry “well…4% is ok but 10% - 20% is my new metric for bad”

At this point I think it’s painfully clear you’re just a troll. There is no way you can be this stupid. Nobody could be.

Well that’s a bold-faced lie. You haven’t added a link since post #294. In this entire thread, I’ve probably added close to 20 links. You might have added 3 in the entire thread.

Why? Because I stand with facts and you’re here to troll.

Here's the funny thing.

In business, a good leader is not someone who uses threats, intimidation, mockery, and personal attacks as he leads. He doesn't throw his people under the bus when they step out of line. He inspires. He creates new leaders. He brings the best impulses out of his people.

Apple's Steve Jobs once said, "we don't hire smart people and tell them what to do. We hire smart people to tell US what to do."

ROTFLMFAO!!! Mac1958 claims that “good leaders” don’t “threaten, intimidate, mock” or resort to “personal attacks” and then the first person he names for an example of a “good leaders” is Steve ******* Jobs. The man who literally threatened, intimidated, mocked, screamed, and made personal attacks, against his own employees

Howling!! Absolutely howling. Man that post is comedy gold. Every time I think Mac has hit rock bottom he finds a new way to ensure nobody takes him seriously.

Congrats on the most embarrassing post of 2025.

Aw, look, the little Trumpster came up with an exception to the rule. There are certainly more, for the record.

Good for you, slugger! That means Trump is a great leader! Yay!

Dumbass what has been amazing? Certainly not economy under Trump.

Take your partisan bullshit mill elsewhere and show actual, measurable, macroeocnomic RESULTS.

Are you embarrassed yet??? Unimaginable MACROECONOMIC RESULTS like we’ve never seen

• 15% tariffs on most EU products
• EU pledges to purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy
• EU pledges additional $600 billion more including military equipment
• Zero-for-Zero tariffs on “strategic goods”

So to recap - the EU eliminates all tariffs on the U.S. for strategic goods and pledges to purchase $1.35 trillion in U.S. goods. This is what real leadership looks like.
