Trump says 8 European countries will be charged a 10% tariff for opposing US control of Greenland

[Stann]

Remember when Trump said that Putin would never want him as president?

Boy is that a stupid thing to say in light of his behavior.

Bailing on Ukraine. Fighting inside of NATO.

A dream come true for Putin. A nightmare for the West.

Do you realize just how ridiculous you sound. This is all about Trump's mismanagement , ill use of his office and you're still trying to blame Democrats for the situation. trump created this nightmare. Not the Democrats. He owns this shit.

You are making my point for me. You hate Trump because you think you should, but you clearly don't know why.

 

[Stann]

Democrats. who have no discernable plans to solve any of America's problems, oppose the tariffs simply because they are declared by President Trump and feel no need to know any more about them, but others who oppose Trump's tariffs still believe the lie that free trade will benefit the US economy. The fact is that if everyone were competing on a level playing field, it might, but there are no level playing fields in the real world. President Trump's tariffs help level that playing field for American companies, keeping American jobs here while bringing $200 billion in revenues to lower our budget deficit. The average American citizen may have to pay a few dollars more to buy his next big screen TV, but by buying American, he will be helping himself and his neighbors employed.

Democrats used to be concerned with keeping American workers employed, but since they heard Trump is for it, they are now dead set against it.

Tell me then why did trump do away with the main agencies for workers and their families , how is he helping farmers or anyone other than the Argentinian people by bailing them out and undercutting our farmers at the same time. And how is he helping all of the children in 5 states because he wants to punish a few rotten apples. Where is their any caring at all.

We were taking about Trump's tariffs, and I showed you some of the ways they are benefiting Americans. If you want to discuss other policies, we can, but try to bring some facts to the discussion and not just attitude.

I don't hate the idiot , I pity him and anyone who would put faith in anything he says. I do know why. He's trying to run the country the same way he's ran his whole life with unscrupulous schemes. That's no way to run a political party or a country. Look at his bankruptcy rates. That is not good business. And when you look at all the lives he's changed for the worst with each and every bankruptcy it's a total shame. And now he's doing the same thing with the country. Today he said ICE sometimes makes mistakes but oh well. Mistakes are usually cleaned up by prosecuting the guilty parties but doesn't look like that's going to happen. That is what we have to look forward to with trump. More and more corruption with no accountability. That's what makes an authoritarian regime successful.No resistance and a lot of complacency. We always have to compromise but we never have compromised our values before.

They are of no benefit to the American people that's the whole problem.

Again, all attitude but no facts.

You are so special , how did you get that far up trumps' ass. He's using tariffs as a political weapon now and we're on the wrong side.

Perhaps you just don't understand what a fact is. In post after post you argue that Trump is bad so anything he does is bad.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Look at what I found on Twitter. These AI guys are on some strong stuff lol.

Fact is he has been using tariffs as political weaponry. Not to balance trade inequities. Just like he's weaponized the justice to go after his s political opponents. Trump.is bad because he doesn't know any better.

Most of the tariffs have been to level the playing field for US businesses and these tariffs have brought in over $200 billion dollars in new revenues already and are expected to bring in at least a trillion dollars over the decade, thus helping to reduce the Budget deficit significantly, and he is also using tariffs as leverage in negotiations with other countries; for example in US negotiations with Europe over Greenland.

He does know.

Look at the chart. You wanna know why other countries such as Mexico, Canada, and scores of European nations are angry at China?

All that means is the American people will ( lose ) pay a trillion dollars. That doesn't help US. Where is your brain. The only way to fix the deficit is to produce and sell more than we buy and that's not going to happen. Who's going to buy from US when we treat everyone else like dirt. Your logic is absent.

The tariffs are paid by the companies exporting to the US, which will likely raise the prices of imported goods and lead US consumers to switch to US made goods and protect US jobs. There is no evidence the tariffs will lead to significant increases in cost of living for US consumers, but they are sinificantly increasing US government revenues which lowers our budget deficit and benefits all Americans, even Democrats who don't deserve it.

You are confusing budget deficits with trade deficits. Exporting more and importing less will lower our trade deficit but will not necessarily lower our budget deficit.

It's good that you are trying to understand what is going on, but clearly this effort needs more work.

And? The fulfillment of the Monroe Doctrine has been on hold for too long.

The Monroe Doctrine says that the US won't let Europeans interfere with affairs on the Americas. It also says the US won't interfere with European affairs.

 

[AsherN]

Tariffs are paid by the importers, to the importing country's government.

In the long run that cost is paid by the consumer or didn't you bother to figure that out. trump didn't. I know exactly what's going on. Using bad methods to being about good results is bad. Using bad methods to bring about bad things can only be worse. That is trump.

 

[Stann]

The Monroe Doctrine says that the US won't let Europeans interfere with affairs on the Americas. It also says the US won't interfere with European affairs.

It also implies that we will not replace the foreign countries influence in those countries. Protectors not conquerers.

And generally those costs are passed on.the consumers.
