Terrific Trump tweets tremendous tariffs talk

[Crixus]

He is still under the illusion that China pays the tariffs and not the US consumers. What a dumb idiot.

Look for tomatoes to go up, he just put another tariff on those from Mexico.

Okay so here is how you beat the tomato tariff. Go to Home Depot and buy a tomato plant. Put it in the proper size pot and patient. In a while you will have super awesome tomato’s without all the ******* disease on them. Here is what I don’t get, they say along with all the other shit that will cost more, they say she’ll fish and meat will go up. This is also not a problem. What you do is to find a butcher and buy food meat. It’s been about ten years since I have bought any fish or meat from the store. Far as sea food go’s, I can pretty much step out my back door and have all the sea food I want any time of the year and I know for a fact that some dumb chink didn’t raise it in a sewer pond. **** China. We don’t need them, they need us.

 

[basquebromance]

Trump is the 1st president ever who is using the strength of our free market system as a cudgel against the Chinese!


He’s tough and smart and that’s what we need not another lying do nothing President

"Talks with China continue in a very congenial manner - there is absolutely no need to rush - as Tariffs are NOW being paid to the United States by China of 25% on 250 Billion Dollars worth of goods & products. These massive payments go directly to the Treasury of the US...The process has begun to place additional Tariffs at 25% on the remaining 325 Billion Dollars. The US only sells China approximately 100 Billion Dollars of goods & products, a very big imbalance. With the over 100 Billion Dollars in Tariffs that we take in, we will buy agricultural products from our Great Farmers, in larger amounts than China ever did, and ship it to poor & starving countries in the form of humanitarian assistance. In the meantime we will continue to negotiate with China in the hopes that they do not again try to redo deal!

Tariffs will bring in FAR MORE wealth to our country than even a phenomenal deal of the traditional kind. Also, much easier & quicker to do. Our Farmers will do better, faster, and starving nations can now be helped. Waivers on some products will be granted, or go to new source!

If we bought 15 Billion Dollars of Agriculture from our Farmers, far more than China buys now, we would have more than 85 Billion Dollars left over for new Infrastructure, Healthcare, or anything else. China would greatly slow down, and we would automatically speed up!" - President Trump

Neither you nor dOnald tRump understand how this works. China is not paying those tariffs, we are.

As far as the government buying grain for humanitarian purposes, has anyone noticed tRump doing any humanitarian work?

Plus what happened to the republican hatred of handouts?

Additionally soy farmers have been in the news saying they have not received the promised funds from the first bailout. Seems like the only ones who have are the big corporate interests.

This whole thing is a disaster and will not result in any sorta deal. The Chinese will wait him out. 18 months and they're dealing with someone else, and holding out might actually help that happen.

 

[basquebromance]

This is why Trump is suddenly ratcheting up tariffs: to gain leverage and force China to bargain against it. If there were ever a good moment to adopt this strategy, it is now. The greatest fear of China's regime is an economic downturn that could result in widespread popular discontent, and it's nearly upon them already. A trade war with the US, the biggest customer for their exports, is absolutely the last thing China's leaders need.

Tariffs make Chinese products more expensive.

If you don't buy those products, you don't pay those tariffs.

Instead of Chinese, you buy American product, that is due to tariffs now cheaper, and most likely better.

The way tariffs actually work is that American products jack their prices to match the tariffed ones. I watched it happen when Trump imposed the tariffs on steel. It does not work the way you say. Maybe it is supposed to, but if you check out the prices on the global market, you will see it is not the case.

Now you're expert on steel too?

That is not the way that tariffs "actually" work. Sure, business can increase price of their product and get additional windfall, but marker usually work it out where competition get the prices to level where it belong.

I never said I was an "expert." I had someone showing me how these tariffs work on the international market and he showed me the prices of steel. The American steel prices had risen to match. Show me where that has now been "corrected," please, because I'm still hearing about businesses hurt by the increase in steel prices.

China and its factories will end up paying for these tariffs, otherwise the US will go elsewhere for low quality products made in unregulated factories using below minimum wage workers. Dumb Chinese just don't get it, Trump is not to be fucked with. And the longer it lasts, the better it will be for the US, as it will encourage more manufacturing inside the US.

True, price of steel has risen, mostly due to the fact that our producers don't have capacity to make up for lowering imported steel volume. Price around $4000 is about the same where has been in past two years.

Price of aluminum was going up and down and is on about the same level where it's been in 2014. Wonder why? Because we don't depend on aluminum imports as much as we depend on steel. Once our steel production increases, the price of steel will stabilize.

When you can't compete with Chinese imports because of their price fixing, you're forced to shut down. Ramping up production doesn't happen in instant, it's a process, and it may take time, but when it happens, we will be much less dependent on imports. I hope this explanation helps.

"We are right where we want to be with China. Remember, they broke the deal with us & tried to renegotiate. We will be taking in Tens of Billions of Dollars in Tariffs from China. Buyers of product can make it themselves in the USA (ideal), or buy it from non-Tariffed countries We will then spend (match or better) the money that China may no longer be spending with our Great Patriot Farmers (Agriculture), which is a small percentage of total Tariffs received, and distribute the food to starving people in nations around the world! GREAT!" - Trump

 

[basquebromance]

"There is no reason for the U.S. Consumer to pay the Tariffs, which take effect on China today. This has been proven recently when only 4 points were paid by the U.S., 21 points by China because China subsidizes product to such a large degree. Also, the Tariffs can be completely avoided if you by from a non-Tariffed Country, or you buy the product inside the USA (the best idea). That’s Zero Tariffs. Many Tariffed companies will be leaving China for Vietnam and other such countries in Asia. That’s why China wants to make a deal so badly!

There will be nobody left in China to do business with. Very bad for China, very good for USA! But China has taken so advantage of the U.S. for so many years, that they are way ahead (Our Presidents did not do the job). Therefore, China should not retaliate-will only get worse!

I say openly to President Xi & all of my many friends in China that China will be hurt very badly if you don’t make a deal because companies will be forced to leave China for other countries. Too expensive to buy in China. You had a great deal, almost completed, & you backed out!" - President Trump

In the mean time, this is a $200 Billion dollar tax increase on consumers. Ludlow even admits it on FOX. But ha, after two and a half years, stay on that yellow brick road of yours taking you to fantasy land. And the so called tax cut Republicans keep talking about? If there was, Trump just pissed that away. Why are Trump cultists still stuck on stupid? People, it's just math. Look at it and take your blinders off. Trump has been bull shitting you all the whole time. Farmers certainly know it. They keep getting Socialism from us.

Joe: This is a $200B tax increase on Americans


The charts tell the real story, and takes fantasy out of the equation.

This is where your so called tax cuts went. Lol! The jokes on you suckers.

And one other thing, the debt goes up because of Trump. Trump's losing economic strategy is a loss for every day Americans.

How stupid is stupid when stupid does? Do you actually believe we are just going to magically erect building plants to build our own stuff? With whose money? The 1% thief who got a giant tax cut and stashed it in the Cayman Islands? Lol! What the hell are you smoking?

Only if you buy cheap chinese chinky crap. Buy American and you will never pay the tariff. China has to reduce their costs to us or they can't compete.

Tariffs are beautiful things. Buy American.

Are you so stupid to think there are not empty buildings right now begging to be used? I'm a truck driver. I've seen dozens of huge buildings around the nation that are empty that the company went belly up under Obama. To build shit you don't have to build a building first, you CAN use whats already here. There is one building that I drive by to get unloaded that is a 450 dock warehouse. It's probably 20 acres in size. Empty.

Yea, that can be used.

Moron.
