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

That's always how tariffs work. The importing country pays a price in higher prices in the short term while the exporting country pays the price in sales. Who wins is who can afford to take the hits better. Trump is betting that the American economy is far more robust and they need us more than we need them.
 
other countries already do. You should really educate yourself.


Y'all lefties better buy all that Chinese made junk you can get your hands on before the tariff takes hold. Let's hope Canada doesn't cave in and become America's 51st state.

So the MIGHTY TAZmeister wants to talk about how people mislead you in POLITICS?

TAZmeister is a phony-e-baloney; ranking right up there with MACAFLOOZY! Know what they all have? FEELINGS, lol. Young people who know NOTHING, NOTHING!

The only thing these people like FLOOZY, TAZ, IMwho have in common, is they are incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial. They have NOTHING, lol.

Floozy and TAZ, especially TAZmeister........enjoy the power you have today, because it is going to leave you very soon, lol. Doubt me? Watch!
 
I can't think of a single thing still not drastically more expensive than before Biden took office. Can you?
I still pay $3.00 for something that used to cost $2.00. 50% price increase.
I still pay $4.78 for something that I used to buy for $1.78. 170% price increase.

I find it funny that the left are all up in arms about some things which MIGHT cost more for a time under Trump (for a long term benefit to the nation) when they were fine these past four years with EVERYTHING costing an average of 40% more under Biden. Or have you already forgotten about this?

The iamhoser has threatened. Pay no mind.
 
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.


You must be bewildered by his reply. "I can't guarantee you anything"
Does not mean we will pay higher prices. She attacked Trump. Watch her body language. The glaring eyes. She points her pen directly at him. When new car prices rose under Biden, did Biden force us to pay higher prices by his attack on oil production? That is a direct act leading to a concrete result.

Nobody is threatening you. Funny how you and Joe Biden feel that way, lol.

You will not hear from me until Trump assumes office because we have to see what he will do. On the other hand, all we HEAR is from people like YOU and TAZ about what YOU think he will do. You people think? Not likely!

You ARE a phony, but you are in good company because one of your LEFTIST mods, is a phony right along with you. Congrats, lol!
 
Curious. I think the EU has a 10% tariff on US auto imports and the US has a 2.5% tariff in EU imports. These are complicated by certain breaks for a certain % of EU parts in the American cars.

Some German cars are assembled in South Carolina and elsewhere in the US.

Ask anyone from Germany if they see many American vars on the road. They do not.

Yet, we see many BMW, Mercedes, and Porsches in the US.

Tariffs should at least be even many would say.

The idea is that imports would cost more so consumers would buy American products, spurring manufacturing and creating jobs.

To simply say, if Trump raises tariffs, we are all gonna die is silly. It is a negotiation tactic.

Have any of you ever bought a car or home? One side asks high, the other side offers low….

Do not be intellectually dishonest. Do some research before chirping ORANGE MAN BAD!

Check and Balance

Reducing the price of gasoline will offset any inflation from tariffs. It was the real reason for both Reagan's and Clinton's successful economies.


The real reason Nixon had to resign is that he backed down from seizing the price-gouging OPEC's oilfields and wrecked the economy.

We've seen him before. He plays golf.

When I was in the Army from 1962-64, from October 62 to Feb 1 64 I served in Germany. Some of the guys, such as myself, loaned money to soldiers. We did very well. We could buy a new MBZ cheaper in Germany and pay to ship it to the USA and some of my fellow lenders did that. Then America had safety glass for windows. So the MBZ or other exports to the USA had to be retrofitted to get then current safety equipment on them.

Thank you for your service and I believe part of the Trump tactic is to get other nations to lower their tariffs on US imports with the strategy of increasing US exports.

The tariff playing field is definitely not even.

I am all for some changes. We need more manufacturing in the US. Surely, automation has reduced some jobs, but the output overall is not where it could be….sans the MIC.
 
As a Trump toady we know you won't mind paying more as a result of subhuman Trumpflation.

That subhuman is going to put his foot so far up MAGA ass that you'll need surgery to get it out. :cul2:

I spent 3 years making equipment that radically increased output. Nothing really important other than some things were blasted into space on rockets. Mainly it was package machines such as cardboard boxes or soap packing machines. This was all designed by various firms engineers. Unfortunately for my firm, the economy was slowing down super fast. I changed occupations to selling real estate where I stayed until many years later I retired.

Today Americans see Tariffs as evil. Yet few of us see taxes as evil. At least taxes on incomes. I see taxes as decent on sales. Tariffs are also on sales. America was pretty old when it went to income taxes since it had been surviving on tariffs for over a hundred years.
 
It’s revealing when democrats think taxing rich corporations is OK, despite those increases making their way to the consumer, but when enemy nations are taxed, suddenly the passing of those costs onto the consumer becomes an issue.
I’m not sure if it’s more democrat stupidity or hypocrisy.

I agree. I say it is both. They get outraged when taxing other nations. But my god are they pleased when citizens here in the USA are heavily taxed.

Trump isn’t betting anything.

Trump made tarriffs a big thing because he know that in the simple minds of his supporters that Tarriff happen to somebody else.

Then he stand up and makes (and repeats) the moronic assertion that the end user doesn’t pay the Tarriff.

All the Trump sheep bray right along, too stupid to know that they are being played, and that they will be the ones who actually pay the Tarriffs.

Now, of course, Trump is backing away from his own theme.

We told you so. (Get used to hearing that)

Where did he say that? Isn’t the thread about things costing more due to tariffs?
Do you not see how these tariffs put US manufacturing back to a competitive level and how US manufacturing enhances the US economy?

Biden hiked tariffs on China. Where were the Democrats then?

Democrats need to shut up. They were happy when Biden raised taxes a lot against China.
