Because republicans stink far more. Duh. How many times must that basic logic be explained to you?

you think they do billy,they think you guys stink more......the stench from both sides is getting pretty bad...but of course you only see one side...

Harry you’re just absolutely impossible. Why you can’t absorb the basic logic of whet I’m saying I do not know. But I get it - if you did absorb it, you wouldn’t make the exact same point you always do whenever you talk to me. I mean after awhile you’d think I would just get the message. I guess you find it too validating to just say the same damn thing every time and pretend you’re saying something new.

If I were a political cartoonist I would draw a big pile of feces and DOTARD would be sitting in the middle of it.

If you were a cartoonist you probably couldn't get the pencils/pens out of your well travelled ass.

It is a tax increase on us, and can't be done without congress.

Tariffs are the same as taxes in the Constitution and Trump can't raise taxes or tariffs on us....that is a constitutional act/power delegated to congress....

Congress already passed the laws about tariffs that give the President the authority to set them.

He can negotiate them. Congress has to agree and pass the legislation or not...

The market is in the business of anticipating. BFD

How can the market anticipate anything when Dotard changes his mind nearly every day, fool?

President Donald Trump indicated Friday ahead of key trade talks that he was willing to lower tariffs on China to 80%, but that level may still be higher than what investors and business leaders were hoping for.

“80% Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is one of the U.S. officials set to speak with counterparts from China at meetings in Switzerland this weekend.

Friday’s comments on China tariff rates appear to signal a shift for Trump. The president said on Wednesday he would not lower tariffs in order to get China to the negotiating table.

He's not here to discuss anything in a rational, informed way. He's here to be a troll.

Again, they already did.

How Congress delegates its tariff powers to the president | Constitution Center

In 1934, Congress passed the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, which gave President Franklin Roosevelt the ability to change tariffs rates by 50% and negotiate bilateral trade agreements without additional approval from Congress. Since then, the president has mostly controlled and executed tariffs policies as defined by Congress.

Ultimately, Congress can limit or expand the presidential tariffs powers through legislation, but the CRS concludes that based on precedents dating back to the time of Chief Justice Marshall, judicial precedent “has given the President broad latitude to exercise his tariff authorities.”

Maybe do some research before you assume things.

Trump’s a useless sack of dog shit. He has the emotional maturity and intelligence of an 8th grader and his cult following idiot supporters are too stupid to see it. America has become so embarrassing

I thought your post was from the Babylon Bee and got a huge guffaw and then I saw you were a Democrat Socialist and knew you were serious. Such a sad world we live in.

Hell it doesn’t even matter who I am. I could be a crazy homeless person walking around naked and Trump would still be a pathetic sack of shit. You all would still be morons for following an idiot that doesn’t give a flying fuck about you.

A 10% tariff isn't much as products go, but it does raise significant revenue.

Using cars as an example, the US buys 16,000,000 cars a year. Tariffs on foreign cars makes US cars more affordable. The UAW loves Trump's tariffs.

Assuming that the $10T in new manufacturing plants happens, Trump's tariffs will be fully justified. It will take years to see how all of this shakes out.

All at the expense of the American Consumer.

I’m pretty sure you have no idea what a democrat socialist even is. You can take a crack it if you want. I guarantee you you will be wrong lol

 

[Concerned American]

This is where we fundamentally differ. I care about the country, you just care about your pocketbook.

If you cared about the country, you wouldn't have supported all the subversive garbage the democrats have been pulling for the past six years. And yeah, I care about my pocketbook too--that is the American dream--to be self sufficient and debt free, comrade.

Don't worry, trump will give you another "Buying Opportunity" soon.

It will be nice to recoup some of those $$$ wasted on paying the highest fuel prices in the history of the nation and the 30% inflation under Biden. Thank you President Trump!
