Trump may have already changed his mind after today's market carnage.

I have the same risk you do, along with every American and every migrant rapist and murderer who should not be here

Everyone has a stake - or risk - for the future

The tariffs can be a blessing or a curse

Really? You live off government checks. I’m the one who has to work.

 

[Leviticus]

I love how many of the tariffs are on goods?We don't even produce here in the u.S. the whole point of a tariff is supposed to be to try to promote domestic production but there are tariffs on things we literally can't produce because of our climate. These types of tariffs only work to raise prices.

You are babbling nonsense

Do you post just to get attention?

Everyone suffers if the tariffs fail

Do you have an example?

This was always about the grift - "negotiations" as you called them. How much will you give Trump for an exemption for your parts? Your product???

Amusing to see it done in broad daylight though.

 

[cnm]

I mean, Trump has always said it is negotiable.

This is the biggest market percentage drop since ..... 2022. Oh, how did the left and the MSM act then?

As though you weren't twisting yourself into a pretzel to pick your cherry?

 

[cnm]

Is there any doubt in anyone's mind the point of the tariffs is to get others to kiss the ring? To exert control over the leaders of other countries who mocked his ignorance and boorish behavior.

To sell exemptions to Americans is the obvious mafia game as far as I can see.

 

[cnm]

Yeah, God forbid we ask other countries to reduce the tariffs they charge on our goods to make US products more attractive and affordable in other countries. What on earth could he be thinking.

That he's found another useful idiot to spew his bullshit.

Do you have an example?

Coffee is a prime example. While Hawaii, California, and Puerto Rico are capable of growing coffee, and each have well established coffee industries, the amount produced, even at peak production, is only a small fraction of the overall demand. The vast majority of coffee consumed in the us has to be imported.

Rubber is another example. Very litte natural rubber is produced in the US because of similar climate restrictions to coffee.

A tariff on either of these products does nothing to help domestic production. All it does is make the imported products that are needed to meet demand more expensive.

How do you suffer? You live off others paychecks.

After the hypocrisy of burning Tesla's, the left has the nerve to call a guy who keeps his campaign promises a "flip flopper"?

Should he get credit for keeping campaign promises that make America poorer and less safe?

 

[berg80]

I mean, Trump has always said it is negotiable.

That isn't what WH officials said only yesterday.

His staff was quoted earlier today saying the tariffs are not a negotiating tool.

• Trump administration officials insist that the sweeping tariffs are not a negotiation tactic, and that Trump “is not going to back off.”

Are you feeling liberated?

President Donald Trump’s extensive raft of import tariffs are putting the U.S. economy at risk of recession, Allianz’s Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian warned on Friday.

He added that Trump’s swathe of so-called reciprocal tariffs could have a significant effect on the global economy.

“You’ve had a major repricing of growth prospects, with a recession in the U.S. going up to 50% probability, you’ve seen an increase in inflation expectations, up to 3.5%,” he told CNBC’s Silvia Amaro on the sidelines of the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio, Italy.

“I don’t think [a U.S. recession] is inevitable because the structure of the economy is so strong, but the risk has become uncomfortably high.”

Finally we have a president who adjusts to conditions and events instead of riding an ideology into the abyss and taking the country with him.

We have a President who creates the crisis that needs to be fixed.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Ok kiddie's..........why is the left freaking out over tariffs?

.

Because

They will still be defending trump after he drives the car off the cliff..........with them in the car.

No, I don’t think it’s amusing to see it done in broad daylight at all.

Trump did all of his theft from the public purse and corrupt shit in broad daylight in his last administration as well, and nobody believed he did anything illegal.

His Cult is still calling his numerous prosecutions “Lawfare”, even though he wasn’t charged with half the illegal shit he pulled last time.

Lawfare was what he used to stay out of prison.

If you trumples out there think China is the last country that will retaliate against Baby Donald shaking his rattle...........think again.

I suspected thats what you meant but wanted you to say it

And I agree
