Trump introduces sanity to world trade with 200% tariffs

So we are going to blow up the economy because of a milk tariff?
he is lying about that dairy tariff. It was negotiated by shitler! in 2018 and it never has been hit as import restrictions keep it well below export levels to trigger it.
 

Its about time that a world leader stepped in to end the madness. Hail Donald !!
What this will do for Sancerre afficionados in the US is not clear.
The super rich will still be able to afford it so thats not going to be a problem.

The frogs are due a slap so this is timely. Maybe an EO renaming French fries is in order ? I cant think of a new name at the moment.
This is getting to a point at which a reasonable person can wonder about Trump's sanity.

I'm not talking about his profound self esteem issues or his habitual lying issues. This this is something different. This is not the behavior of a mentally healthy, mentally stable person.

And as with all autocrats, he has no one around him with the balls to try to reign him in.
 
Nice of you to recognize that tariffs didn't just arrive with Trump, Moron. Try Again.
Every country has some tariffs. Trump’s tariffs are way bigger in breadth, which is why it’s causing such a disturbance in the economy.

The magnitude is far different. Obviously.

You dipshits really aren’t told much.

They only know about the dairy tariff. Thats it. Thats all they’re told. Somehow that’s enough for them to accept a trade war and the economic disruption that comes with it.
 
No, it will not.

But do try to tell us that the Smoot-Hawley tariffs levied at the start of the Great Depression got us out of the depression.
The tariffs didnt cause that the banking issues did.

Furthermore, the imbalance in trade is not as it is today, you have $36T in government debt, THAT is a great national security threat

How?
 
Too many to list, here is a site that lists some of the issues:

Remember, you are tariffing those who are tariffing you, in addition to them artificially keeping their currency low in most cases, and also other extreme taxes, tariffs, regulations and barriers.

Banks Extended Too Much Credit,​

Banks Ignored the Federal Reserve​

Banks Didn’t Maintain Adequate Reserves​


Banks Needed Fixing​

If banks led to the crash and the subsequent economic crisis that extended into the Great Depression, then they needed to be fixed in order for the economy to begin to recover. By 1933, the wave of bank failures stemmed from the decision of the newly elected president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, to declare a four-day banking “holiday” while Congress debated and passed the Emergency Banking Act, which formed the basis of the 1933 Banking Act, or Glass-Steagall Act. For their part, legislators required banks to join the Federal Reserve system and approved the creation of deposit insurance, so that future bank failures couldn’t wreak havoc on family savings. They also took steps to curb speculation by banning commercial lenders from dabbling in the stock market. Even before Roosevelt signed the new measures into law, Americans began returning hoarded cash to surviving banks. The banking system had been saved

Actually, The EU and many many other countries started it all with Tariffs and VAT's
long ago. We finally have a president who is tired of the US getting screwed.
Life can be a bitch at times, huh? :wink:
VAT is payable on domestic goods as well. It isnt a tariff.
 
I like the "as well". I know it's not a tariff, I didn't say it's a tariff.
We still have to pay it. Call it an apple if you want, Tommy.
VAT applies to all products equally, so it doesn’t create any advantages either way.

It’s a nonissue used to confused the low information voters.

Everybody has to pay it. Are you suggesting that the US is exempt from UK taxes ?
Are we exempt from your US sales taxes ?
Captain Caveman has started a thread on this explaining it to maga morons.
It isnt complicated. It really isnt.

You are reading too much in what I said. I did separate the two.
What I find offensive besides your body odor is that we pay a VAT AND a TARIFF.
Along with all the incidentals that we've done for your sorry asses over the years, Tommy.
I am glad that Trump is throwing a tariff on the EU. It's about time.

It's time we actually do question trump's sanity.

‘I’m not going to bend at all’: Trump doubles down on tariff plans as stocks sink​


He'll never admit a mistake, and his staff is too cowed to tell him he's making one. So this could go on for a very long time.

So you want US goods to be vat free ? Wouldnt that give them an advantege over domestic goods that have to pay vat ? Is that your proposal ?
