Trump backs down as tariffs "paused"

[Man With A Plan]

Trump probably figured out that his Big Mac may not have lettuce or tomatoes if he keeps it up.

Pretty sure Big Mac's have never had tomatoes on them...just saying.

Point taken, but for seventy-five cents extra. McDonald's will put tomato on a mcflurry.

You're not very bright, Tommy. Trump really doesn't want to impose tariffs. They are simply a tool. Something to threaten Mexico with if they don't get their shit together. A 25% tariff on Mexican goods will hurt American consumers. This is true but the damage to the Mexican economy would be swift and overwhelming...something that Mexico's President KNOWS! She'll cave because she has no choice. It would be economic suicide to do any thing else.

The current trend of Mexico's currency reflects that. Well said.

Biden was part of the Administration that deliberately allowed guns to flow into Mexico. Claiming that Joe was EVER going to be part of that solution is laughable! Biden ***** up every thing he touches.

So was Trump's first term encouraging the flow.

So now his threats are meaningless. He backs down after talking big. China is watching and so is Canada. And the EU.

How did anything in Trump's first term encourage the flow of weapons into Mexico like took place during the Obama Administration, John?

Why you keep trying to pull nonsense out of your ass amuses me. It's the same thing every time. You make a claim you can't back up and then spend fifty posts claiming that you won't be forced into backing it up and then another fifty posts claiming that you already have backed it up.

Mexicans are sending 10,000 troops to their northern border to stop the fentanyl and the cartels and illegals...and all that bought mexico is a 1 month pause in tariffs.

TRUMP WINS AGAIN!

Now...on to canada!

I learned this a LONG time ago, Tommy! Threats in a negotiation are a tactic. If you're running a business where you need to negotiate terms...threats are going to be made. They may be blunt...they may be subtle...but they will almost ALWAYS be there! Let me guess. You've either never owned a business or you worked in the Public Sector?

The beauty of dealing with Thickos like Turdy Tommy and Horsey Horse is that they cannot see their absurd blunders even after the event ..The other plus is that they are guaranteed to be wrong .

WHATEVER THEY SAY , THE OPPOSITE IS GUARANTEED.

You foreigners continue to make fools out of yourselves. Tariffs are a powerful tool and Trump is showing the world how to use them.

It’s a trial run to get people use to the idea and demonstrate how effective they can be

We have financial and military leverage over the world. Personally, I prefer we flex our financial muscle.

Now China wants to make a deal:

He had got nothing that he could not have got with a quiet negotiation.
Now America is working to stop the flow of guns.
Hes a ******* retard.

You don't know that.
You're a ******* retard.

This is a MUST if we are going to cut down our $36 trillion dollar debt.

Trump agrees to postpone Canada and Mexico tariffs by one month

President delays threatened 25% tariffs on US neighbors but China still to face 10% levy on exports to US from Tuesday

How is trump going to eliminate income tax if he gives up on his big plan ? Too funny.

Trump is turning out to be a bit of a yo yo with tariffs. Can he not make his mind up?

Burger King stick a slice of tomato on their burgers..

Why doesnt he ask Mexico to pay for the wall ?

He made no effective effort to stop the flow.

Why do you keep falsifying what the President did or did not do.

Did you miss the whole part of Trump trying to build a border wall and the Democrats doing everything in their power to stop that?

Obama literally had a program to run guns over the border into Mexico. Have you forgotten Eric Holder being held in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about what they'd been doing?

He told them to send 10,000 troops to the border and the Mexican President complied.
