The thing is, Reagan really was against tariffs.

[EMH]

Many conservative economists are anti tariff.

That was always cover for Democrats and RINOs to just let America get RIPPED OFF.

Trump has done a great job stopping that rip off.

All Trump needs now is for Pam Bondi to prosecute CO2 FRAUD, and the "rare Earth" advantage for China vanishes faster than the ability to audit an election when Dominion Voting Machines are used...

Dear Leader says the Reagan speech is fake. If Dear Leader calls something "fake news" then it is fake news, by golly by gum!

 

[g5000]

Reagan had a Cold War world, totally different scenario. Such comparisons are juvenile at best, idiotic at worst.

The Cold War has nothing to do with tariffs and their destruction to our economy.

You people don't even see how far left Dear Leader is taking you. Now you're trying to trash the greatest conservative of all time.

Jesus H. Christ.

Reagans Free Trade Policy sounded good on paper, but utterly failed to deliver it's promised results.

Thanks for your input, comrade socialist.

Yeah, that right wing free trade shit lifted way too many people out of poverty and into prosperity. We can't have that, now can we, comrade!

Trump terminates all U.S. trade negotiations with Canada over Reagan tariffs TV ad​

President Donald Trump said Thursday night that he was terminating all trade negotiations with Canada because the Ontario provincial government aired an ad featuring former President Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs.

Trump’s announcement accused Canada of trying to influence a pending U.S. Supreme Court case that could doom many of his tariffs, including ones on Canada.

His statement came after The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute said that the ad misrepresents a presidential radio address Reagan delivered in April 1987, and that his remarks were edited without permission.

The foundation did not say what was misleading.

Ontario enlists Ronald Reagan against Trump’s tariffs​

TORONTO — Ontario is using Ronald Reagan to warn that Donald Trump’s tariffs will cost Americans their jobs.

“We’re going to repeat that message to every Republican district there is right across the entire country,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said this week, teasing the new ad campaign at a Toronto business luncheon.

The one-minute ad excerpts a 1987 radio address by Reagan to justify imposing 100 percent tariffs on Japanese electronics over a trade dispute over semiconductors.

Reagan’s address warned of the long-term economic perils of tariffs on foreign imports sold to Americans as a protectionist policy and explained they were imposed to sort a particular problem — not to begin a trade war.

“But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American, worker and consumer,” Reagan narrates in the ad. “High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs.”

China’s embassy in Washington notably used the same Reagan clip to troll Trump’s global tariffs when the China-U.S. trade war heated up in the spring.

Don has his extra large shorts in a bunch for being called out (posthumously) by Ron, the patron saint of conservatives. The crux of Reagan's remarks being consumers ultimately bear most of the cost of tariffs. Something the tariff man doesn't like being reminded of.

Of course, consumers aren't the only ones who get hurt. Just ask the soy bean farmers.

So?

Procter & Gamble on Friday reported fiscal first-quarter earnings and revenue that beat analysts’ expectations, lifted by higher demand for its beauty and grooming products.

Despite higher costs from tariffs and what CEO Jon Moeller called a “challenging consumer and geopolitical environment,” P&G reiterated its forecast for all-in sales and earnings for the fiscal year, which began in July.

What does that have to do with what I said? Nothing, stop derailing your own thread.

We are still in a cold war and even if we weren't what would be "different" about the situation now?

Our leverage was different. Our so-called Eurotrash allies didn't jerk us around because they feared the Soviets. Unaligned countries would turn to the Soviets if we threatened tariffs. Different world, you folks either don't remember or don't want to hear it if it doesn't align with your TDS fever dreams.

Wow! Such ignorance!

Unaligned countries are now turning to communist China.

Just this month, Argentina has entered into a trade deal with China, and our American farmers are fucked.

Thanks, tariffs! Thanks, Trump!

With us unilaterally and stupidly ending USAID and the soft power it affords us around the world, China is eagerly working to fill the vacuum Trump idiotically left open for them.

He was WRONG about what Free Trade or globalization would bring.


That policy has failed. Why are you and your side insisting on keeping a clearly failed policy?

Many conservative economists are anti tariff.

That was always cover for Democrats and RINOs to just let America get RIPPED OFF.

the DEM's nafta was a 'trade deal' , which ended up great for wall street, via ripping the mid class off.......thus the 'occupy wall street' protests......~S~

You are a shameless excuse maker for Trump.
Tariffs have the same affect in 2025 as they did in 1987.
How does Trump have such hold on your soul?

 

[ElmerMudd]

Reagan was a Republican. MAGA is has nothing to do with the Republican Party.

How true. The MAGA cult is delusional that they are conservative Republicans. They are cult members that pursue what their cult leader tells them to.

What have European and Asia tariffs done to American business activity over the decades?

Let's be straight here, America has been taken advantage of, piggybacking off of a war that ended 80 years ago. Times have changed, so much policies.

We have the largest economy in the world. We bounced back from the pandemic faster and stronger than any nation in the world.
How can that happen if were being treated so badly.
You are a Trump lemming who will repeat anything he tells you without research.

They (MAGAts) are afraid that if they EVER admit that anything Trump says or does is less than perfect then that will be the same as admitting they were kind of stupid in voting for him in the first place.
MAGAts are notoriously sensitive about their own ignorance. They will do and say anything to mask it.
