Republicans worry Trump's tariffs could harm economy

[Zincwarrior]

I think trump will lose the tariff argument

Its an unforced error on his part beginning with taunting the cannuks with the 51st state bs

if he had led by not insulting our neighbors, but instead only targeting china he would be playing from a stronger position

Later when china tries to avoid the tariffs by transshipping through canada and mexico we can deal with them then

Yes, I personally support such trade restrictions on China - actually I support prohibiting trade with China. NAFTA and the current agreement has provisions to prevent Chinese goods coming through Mexico and Canada.

I’m not aware of that so I hope you are right

But now the issue has become so emotional that its becoming unmanageable even when the facts are on trump’s side

 

[sealybobo]

Sure

We refine it in Houston and surrounding refineries

Yea but we are sitting on mountains of oil. All we have to do is drill baby drill it.

But then it's sold on the world market. Same as Canada's oil. We certainly don't sell it to Americans on the cheap.

At least we are refining and selling it instead of canada selling it directly to china

When did we start refining it?

Bottom line. Trump's off to a shitty start. As a shareholder or stakeholder, you know this.

A shareholder is a person or entity that owns shares of a company, giving them partial ownership and certain rights. Shareholders are also known as stockholders.
a person with an interest or concern in something, especially a business.

'Republican lawmakers are growing alarmed over signs that President Trump’s expanding trade war is hurting the economy, something they’re hearing from constituents at home who are struggling to adapt to Trump’s zigzagging tariff pronouncements. GOP lawmakers say they’re hearing from business owners, exporters, farmers and local leaders that Trump’s threat of steep tariffs against Canada, Mexico and Europe are chilling business sentiment in the United States.

Companies feel less confident about expanding operations and hiring new workers, given their uncertainty about the costs of imported goods and the potential loss of foreign markets over the next year. “The Canadian tariffs will definitely have a detrimental impact on the economy of Maine and on border communities in particular,” said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). “We have for example a major paper mill in Northern Maine right on the border that gets its pulp from Canada.”

“That mill alone, which is by far the biggest employer in the region, employs 510 people directly. I’ve talked to the owner of that mill, the imposition of a 25-percent tariff could be devastating,” she warned. Trump announced Thursday that he would pause 25-percent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico until April 2, but Collins warned that the looming threat of high fees is having a chilling effect on her state’s economy.

“I think it freezes investment until they know exactly what the impact is going to be. So I understand the president’s desire to level the playing field, but Canada’s just not the problem in Maine,” she said, citing wood products, blueberries, lobsters and potatoes that go back-and-forth across the border as key drivers of the economy.'

Republicans have only themselves to blame, they created this monster.

If only there were some way for Congressional Republicans to check a reckless, irresponsible, and out of control president…

You guys are far too funny. Ever since Trump came on to the scene all you can talk are ifs, ands, and buts. Here you say Trump tariffs "could hurt".

In another thread you say that Trump's policy is probably uncontitutional.

That's the same kind of shit you guys have been saying for eight years now.

I have already said trump is handling the tariff issue badly

Maybe you missed it

Are you better off today than you were 4 months ago? LOL.

Hey, look at this

DOJ investigating major egg producers amid soaring prices​

Remember Kamala was going to investigate supermarkets because they were clearly gouging us? And you guys said that was wrong. Well now look what we have here. The DOJ is investigating Egg Producers.

Department investigators are looking into whether the major egg companies are sharing information about supply and pricing, possibly contributing to price increases, the sources said. Egg producers, including the industry's trade association, have said the soaring prices are due to the avian flu.

The investigation is being run out of the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department and won't necessarily lead to any legal action.

Wow! Team Trump is doing what Kamala said she would do.

Same thing you said about Bush leading into the Obama McCain election. You said this too "the crash wasn't his fault, it was Bill Clinton's, or Freddy/fanny may/mack. Lil *****.

 

[sealybobo]

Try again, Frenchfry.

How so? Don't you have stocks? Did your egg prices go up or down?

We knew you'd set the bar awfully low.

Let me ask you. Is America Great Again already? I'm waiting for the day we suddenly turn Great again. I don't recall the day it happened between 2016 and 2020 do you? Was it the day he passed those historic tax breaks? Because you were getting those tax breaks on Biden's watch too remember.

Not really. Carter was better than Reagan. Gore should have been president not Bush. Kerry should have beat Bush. And Hillary should have beat Trump

"I think Bill Clinton was a great president,’" Trump said in the interview that was conducted shortly after the 2008 presidential election on NY1's "Inside City Hall" program.

"You know, you look at the country then. The economy was doing great. Look at what happened during the Clinton years. I mean we had no war, the economy was doing great, everybody was happy. A lot of people hated him because they were jealous as hell,’" Trump said.

The only reason Trump won't admit this today is because he's a Republican now. And if he was right, Hillary would have been a GREAT president. Just like Bill.

Just like you would vote for Don Jr. in 2028

I was going to post this and say "trump is attacking the 1st amendment"

Mike Johnson Can't Say What Crimes Mahmoud Khalil Committed

Khalil helped organize protests against Israel's war in Gaza but hasn't been charged with violating federal law.

www.huffpost.com

But then I see this guy wasn't born in America. I'm sorry, but you don't get to come to America, get a visa or become a citizen, and then attack America and expect to use our rights against us. **** you. Get out. Go back to where you came from.

See? I can agree with you guys.

A wrinkle in Khalil’s case is that he’s a lawful permanent resident with more legal protection than a student visa holder would have, according to immigration policy experts. The officers who arrested Khalil initially told his lawyers they were revoking his student visa; Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested Sunday that his legal status didn’t make a difference.
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported,” Rubio said.
