The Boston Tea Party was an act of terrorism

Noted: You didnt dispute the rest.

Let's think about what Trump's doing to us as consumers. He jacked up the price of everything to make us buy American. American companies are expensive too. But I get it. Buy American is good, right? But they are claiming this is their plan to bring jobs back home? To raise wages for workers in America? Kind of seems like bullshit to me. It might help American business owners but are those companies really going to start raising wages for the employees? I doubt it. So American corporations will benefit from this but most of us will not.

And then there's the government. The government is making a FORTUNE off this. 10% off everything we buy? That's a shit ton of money. And it's going to build Trump's $200 million dollar ballroom.

Rubbish!

Interesting you would use the word Rubbish. Yesterday I compared Trump's tariffs to the Boston Tea Party. Funny you MAGA patriots don't mind an undue tax on EVERYTHING you buy as long as it comes from your American king.

The term "rubbish" is used more frequently in British English

The tariffs have not raised prices and are on track to bring in over 1 trillion in 4 years. The Dodge cuts will also bring in 1 trillion. The deficit is 1.6 trillion. Trump will pay it off. Democrats oppose this so dont expect them to win any elections.

You get an F in history and critical thinking. It was protest against a government that had no authority and no democratic process. See the difference.

And then he wants to hide the fall out.

He wants to hide the fall? Out where?
He’d better hurry, summer is almost over.

They have not raised prices? Are you out of your mind?

You're going to pay an extra $2400 this year stupid.

Don't believe Trump. He fires anyone who tells the truth about his bad economy.

All you want to do is point out the differences. Meanwhile, you are paying 10% more for everything so Trump can build a ballroom and retrofit that plane he got for a gift. That he plans to take with him after the 3 year grif is over.

Trump won't tell you the real unemployment numbers, the real GDP. You've accepted enough lies he knows he can get away with boldly lying right to your stupid face.

Inflation is coming down wages are up and prices have not gone up. Food and energy cost are down. Dont forget I wont pay any increased price because I can choose not to buy. A manufacturer must sell or go broke which forces a price drop. Learn a little about economics

Energy and food costs are down, wages are up, inflation coming down. Trumps ballroom is not tax payer money its donated. Im not paying more because if I dont like the proce I dont buy. Then prices come down.

In 4 years the tariffs will bring in over 1 trillion. The DODG cuts will save 1 trillion a year. The deficit is 1.6 trillion. No more deficit. Thank Trump democrats could never do this.

You're just spewing bullshit with no evidence. Just like Trump's jobs numbers. Lies from the right. Sorry stupid but I know economics. I'm being charged 10% tariff right now. In November tariffs go away. My supplier instead is going to raise their prices 10%. Are you stupid or what? Prices are coming down. LOL. Sure they are. And the jobs numbers the last three months have been great. And wages are up. LOL. ******* idiot. MAGA liar.


Trump is bragging that countries have "pledged" to buy more beef and energy from us. But that's not binding. Those countries are also looking for other vendors.

The pledges underscore a disconnect between how the president views his trade agreements and how countries on the other side of the negotiating table often see them.

One key question underpinning the investment promises is whether they could actually be enforced.

Thus far, the deals have largely been framework agreements, not binding accords. And discrepancies linger over the specific investment commitments.

The White House, however, is warning that countries whose investment commitments do not come through could face retaliation from Washington.

Trump announced a trade deal with the EU said that the bloc “will purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy and make new investments of $600 billion in the United States, all by 2028.”

But a parallel sheet released by the European Commission, the executive body of the EU, notes only an “interest” from European companies in “investing at least $600 billion” in the United States.

Moreover, the EU signaled last week that it does not have the authority to enforce the investments since they would come from the private sector, an area outside the European Commission’s purview.

“The European Union and her Member States have very limited capabilities to direct private actors to make these purchases and investments,” David Kleimann, a trade expert and senior research associate at ODI Europe, told CNBC.

“That’s why these commitments are - and can only be - merely aspirational.”

So? Victors write the histories.

MAGA will lose.

OMG I just realized something. Trump is making trade deals with other countries. These countries have "pledged" to buy more stuff from us. But they can't MAKE private companies or their citizens buy American.

Tokyo similarly described its trade deal with Washington in different terms than those Trump used.

White House says that Japan “will invest $550 billion

Japan, on the other hand, says a maximum of up to $550 billion

For Japan and the EU, the investment commitments it made in a framework U.S. trade agreement are not done deals; they’re just another piece of an ongoing negotiation.

I heard Trump is going to lower energy and food costs 400%

Incorrect.

 

[sealybobo]

Incorrect.

Right. Everything Trump says is incorrect. For example he said he would lower drug prices 500%. How's that possible?

Inflation was coming down before Trump got into office. Last year. Now it's going to go up because of his tariffs. How do you claim to know economics and you don't know that 10% increase on EVERYTHING is going to raise your prices? HOW?

And Trump is ANGRY about how the Feds are lowering inflation so don't give him credit you idiot.

The Federal Reserve implemented interest rate hikes to combat inflation, and these measures are starting to show an effect.

I’m not losing any sleep over your whiny hyperventilations, kid. Things are going better than I thought possible for Trump and the USA.

You're an idiot. Please explain to us how you personally are benefiting from this. Maybe you are. Maybe you own a American business and now everyone is buying from you instead of their foreign supplier. Is that the case? Or maybe your American company gave you a raise because of this. It's possible. But the vast majority of us are just paying more and we've seen no positives to what Trump's doing.

In fact we haven't even been hit with the price increases yet. I charged my customers 8.5% all of July and now it's 10% tariffs in August. In November they are just going to raise their prices 10%.

Are you stupid?

Biden caused the inflation with massive debt based spending and poor energy policies. It hasnt gone up its still in decline even with the tariffs. After creating 5 business I learned a little.
Manufactures must sell t stay in business. Buyers dont have to buy. This gives them leverage. By refusing to pay a high prices sellers are forced to lower them.
In addition China devalued its money to offset the tariffs. The result food and energy prices are down. Low energy costs lower all prices. Wages are up. So wheres the problem?
In 4 years tariffs will raise over 1 trillion. The DODG curs will save 1 trillion a year. The deficit is 1.6 trillion. No more deficit.
