Trump Says He Can't Guarantee Americans Won't Pay More as a Result of Tariffs

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

One of the main reasons Trump was elected was due to the inflation experienced over the past four years. Trump repeatedly hammered the Biden Administration over the cost of groceries. Now, with the rate of inflation down under 3%, he's admitting his tariffs might raise prices back up.

Tariffs on chinese goods are absolutely the right thing to do

And possibly canada and mexico if they are transshipping chinese goods to avoid the tariff

 

[Thunk]

Nope.

I didn't thunk so.

Inflation coming down means prices are still going up.

Trump Says He Can't Guarantee Americans Won't Pay More​

So, your beef is that Trump cannot see into the future and guarantee how the future will unfold?

Gee.

Now tell me how many times Biden, Obumma or any other past president GUARANTEED the future? Accurately.

Biden told us we would all be free of Covid by July 4, 2021.
In fact, he said that a president like Trump who had as many Covid deaths as him did not deserve to be in office!

Then Joe went on to have 2-3X as many more!

Don't care. Kamala is not nor will she ever be President.

And that's what really matters.

 

[Missourian]

A little short term pain for long term prosperity.

I'll take it.

The alternative is a long term degradation of the American standard of living.

 

[toobfreak]

Don't care. Kamala is not nor will she ever be President.

I'm not even sure she was ever our Vice President.
Or Border Czar.
Or even the democrat nominee.
She isn't really even black.

But as usual, Taz misses the real point here. Trump doesn't intend to use tariffs the usual way. He doesn't want to see them used at all. He is only threatening countries with them to effect desired outcomes.

Most countries will see clear to just acquiesce avoiding them.
Those that don't, we will in short order just find someone better to trade with or make the stuff here ourselves.

The Trump-hating idiots can't figure that out on their own. Maybe thy need therapy chimps or emotional support monkeys to carry around with them, to help them figure things out.

Gas prices went down, I know that. Tariffs are ultimately paid for by American consumers in the form of higher prices, that's the whole point of a tariff. Instead of paying X dollars for something you pay X+Y dollars for the same thing and that is inflationary. In and of itself maybe not so much, but it's still inflationary. And nobody talks about the retaliation; when Trump creates or increases a tariff on imported stuff, the foreign country it came from will raise tariffs on our stuff going to them. So, some businesses here are helped but others are hurt in the backlash. And the problem is that the US consumers hurt the most by these actions are the poorest among us, cuz now their income doesn't stretch as far as it used to.

The china trade deficit with America is huge

Losing even a percentage of that income would hurt them

Elmo told us all that weeks before the election.

They didn't care then, they won't care now.

The republican party has turned into a buncha useless bobbleheads, as I believe I have already mentioned.
