The thing is, Reagan really was against tariffs.

[berg80]

Nope. I was able to explain my postion and it is based on my reaction to the results of the policy. And I was here BEFORE Trump was. I voted for Patrick Buchanan back in 92.

You are here, arguing for REAGAN, a man you hate, becasue of Trump.

YOU are Trump's *****.

Is that really what's happening? This matter is an example of trump becoming unhinged over an ad campaign correctly identifying Reagan's position against tariffs. He shut down negotiations with Canada because he felt humiliated, not because Canada was being obstinate. It's another example of why he is unfit to be prez.

 

[struth]

The US government Q-NUT.

When did this happen? Do you know what communism is??

Past tariffs don’t justify present tariffs. Plus, Reagan’s were focused; Trump is totally unfocused.

Yes past tariffs prove that a president can impose tariffs, since congress gave that authority to the presidents, which is the subject of the supreme court review.

Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs are totally focused on "fair trade", plus they generate significant revenue, between $400b and $500b a year

Yes, that is what is happening in this thread.

As to Canada's actions, they need to be more diplomatic. There is a cost to picking a fight with someone vastly bigger and more powerful than you.

Canada picked the fight? The ad campaign's purpose is to educate the misinformed.........that would be folks like you.........about the real life consequences of tariffs. trump was embarrassed by the truth and by who said it. So like an ill-tempered child he lashed out. He put himself in a position to be embarrassed by his tariff idiocy. The US being the larger economy doesn't make trump right, it makes him an petulant asshole.

I just told you, Q-NUT.

Now run along.

Lefty, this is not a time to piss off America. We are done being Mr Nice Superpower.

Funny to see an actual marxist trying to redbait.

Go **** yourself.

Marxist?

g5000,is a Republican. A pretty hard core conservative at that

 

[struth]

I just told you, Q-NUT.

Now run along.

I think you are off your programming again…plug into your handlers

You are making less sense then normal

Inflation went from 9% to 3%. Very obvious success. Pay attention.

Success is not obvious enough since people are still feeling the pain of the worst overall inflation (19 percent) under a President in nearly 50 years. Passive subsiding of inflation after the worst of the damage has been done is nothing to celebrate.

Didn't vote for Reagan, so I could give a rats ass what he thought about it.

Not every person who voted for Trump agrees with Reagan.

 

[22lcidw]

He got bigly triggered over the ad. Quite the tantrum. Hillary was right, he's temperamentally unfit to be president.

Then again, we have to say, who is Hillary? I remember W. making a speech at a SOTU and she had a stern look on her face as a carpetbagger New York Senator. It was downhill from that for me for Progressives after they showed us what they are. They are idealistic characters from the TV media/entertainment promotion that is Progressive Socialist controlled. And now they are emperors with no clothes. A small percentage are intelligent, and they waste their time on perpetual destroy the Republican agendas.

Memes don’t refute Reagan’s logic.

He put tariffs on semi-conductors, video equipment, audio equipment, and household appliances for four years.

Trump thanks you for support of his Reaganesque policies.

Tariffs depress trade, which is never good.

Trump doesn’t know anything about tariffs.

Using Reagan's words is a cheap shot but cheap shots are all the left has these days.

Good one. you are a funny person.

Good one. you are a funny person.

It’s no joke. You’re just very unaware

So, why were democrats historically in favor of them?

 

[j-mac]

Good one. you are a funny person.

Remember, democrats are supremely gullible…They’ll believe anything anyone says that agrees with them.
