Tariffs for opposing Trump?

[theHawk]

Yeah let's hope it doesn't end in economic disaster and mass casualties like last time

That’s really your only hope, isn’t it? That someone unleash a worldwide pandemic or other catastrophe.

What are the Democrats’ plans to move us away from trading with China?

Be specific.

Did you forget already? The guy you dream of blowing canceled the Democrats' plan for doing that back in 2017:

Disaster is the only way a Trump Presidency can end. What will it be this time? We'll find out.

Tariffs to the left of me! Tariffs to the right, onward onward rode the US consumer!

The TPP had nothing to do with our trading with China.

It was meant to strip tariff capabilities from the US onto these other countries.

Trade with China was not affected at all in that agreement

Trump says he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the US controlling Greenland

U.S. President Donald Trump says he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland. Trump didn't provide details Friday.

So, if any country opposes Trump's takeover of Greenland, they are probably looking at paying higher taxes on exports to thee U.S!

Ain't that just like a bully to threaten. Well, those countries should threaten Trump with taxes on goods they import from the US. Coffee, booze and cars are a few things that come to mind.

The U.S. is a rogue nation and should be treated like one! Countries should show our fascist dictator what it means to not be part of the world order!

Bigly!!!

You guys are the biggest bullies in history. Why? You have no pushback from who you perceive as enemies. all of those people rioting overseas are for real. You are clowns. Dangerous clowns.In the new world order we need to uild 8 LHA ased medium aircraft carriers using LCS ships, new designed frigate ships and Arleigh burkes as part of the carrier groups designed to patrol the west coasts and east coasts of the western hemisphere. At any time at least four of those groups will be active. We may use vessels from other nations also in this hemisphere. There is a lot of miles from the top to the bottom of the planet. This is good in the worst case as we transition to a hemispheric power.

Ah so you have forgotten and don't know anythinng. It's okay, at least now China has its largest trade surplus ever and the U.S. has the smallest deficit since Joe Biden 2 years ago.

The people living in Greenland have their lives greased. For what it is worth. It is time for them to contribute. And frankly they will live better. We went to two wars before we started NATO. We went to two wars for starting SEATO. Europe is rich. If we go to Western Hemisphere first, then that includes the "brown" people. Are you for Denmark or Paraguay? Or any other nations around it.

 

[Rogue AI]

I know that you dumb shit. Maybe I need to repeat my comment:
Meanwhile China just posted its largest trade surplus in history despite Americans footing the bill for Trump's tariffs:
https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-trade-ends-2025-with-record-trillion-dollar-surplus-despite-trump-tariffs-2026-01-14/

I bet the U.S. markets will drive the surplus up even higher next year since Trump caved on China tariffs in November

Have you never heard of the Belt and Road initiative? This has been building for decades, the only difference is they are getting less from us. I would also be interested in how China is calculating that number given much of its non-US is not conducted in dollars.

Bad old Trump for treating the "world order" like they have been treating us for years.

F the world order. The "world order" wants to rid us of our Constitution, and take complete control.
Check out their vision for us. Own nothing, no cars, eat bugs, eat Bill Gates' lab meat filled with spike proteins and turbo cancer, and mosquitos carrying his choice of diseases. Inject our children with infertility drugs that cause heart ailments, chemtrail us with poison, remove from us any homes we own and punish us with Digital ID's.
And you are on their side. Pathetic.

Nice deflection. I asked where Dems have put forward a plan for lowering trade with China. You barked about “TPP” and I showed that had zilch to do with China. It in no way limited trade with China.

Joe Biden didn’t not have the “smallest trade deficit” with China in 2022. In fact it was at a near high in 2022.

Compare each year of Biden compared to 2025. 2025 the balance is way lower than any Biden year:

The TPP was 1000% about China

 

[theHawk]

The TPP was 1000% about China

Nope, it was about trading with other Asian countries, which we still do. If it was going to increase trade to the TPP countries, it would had all the signatories raise tariffs against China to promote trade with each other. It did no such thing.

Since we dropped it, can you explain why the trade deficit is lower now under President Trump?

The TPP was created to weaken China's influence on trade. If you want to pretend it wasn't there's nothing I can do about it.

As for our current trade deficit; Trump's tariffs, the plummeting value of the dollar, the rising cost of living expenses, our weakening economy... lots of reasons. But since Trump was cowed in November by China on tariffs we can compare this year's numbers when they come out to last years to see if tariffs did anything.

More deflecting. What is the DEMOCRAT plan to lower trade with China? You cannot name ONE policy of theirs. They love China and love to do business with them.

Nice set of excuses for the lower deficit under President Trump. The cost of living skyrocketed under Biden, it has come down some already under President Trump. Yes the tariffs have brought it down, that’s the POINT. You just admitted it works.

I have said all along this excessive greed ,America first , valuing the Almighty Dollar over human life , inhumanity to one another , simple loss of respect between people , arguments over non-issues , backing off on human rights and dignity , increased world strife , human suffering , more starvation , weird , changing problems with the weather ; all of these are symptoms of the world's boggest problem OVERPOPULATION. That's what needs to be worked on , to bad we are not yet at the level of intelligence to have established a one government world to address the crisis.
