Trump surrenders again on his failing tariff policy

[mudwhistle]

Uh. The complaint isnt about the supply chain. The compliant is that the manmade tariffs have stopped production and shipping.

"manmade tariffs"???

What other kind of tariffs are there?

Why is it you lousy fcks always come up with shit that used to be a good thing is now the end of the fcking world?????

Leftist be like; "I KNOW......LET'S MAKE CURING CANCER THE SAME AS BEING HITLER!!!!!"

trump boxed himself into a corner with his bluster, and he should have been "a bit" more focused on who and what he "tariffed." Even now at 25% he's just raising prices. Which should cause lower sales, and a recession. Whether inflation in a recession causes the benefit of a recession (falling prices) to .... dissapperate .... well, that's pretty much the doomsday scenario. And Trump still hasn't focused on govt spending.

You are trying to explain things to maga morons who have spent their working lives pushing a broom round the warehouse.
Because they are too fucking stupid to do anything else.

Its a wasted effort because they are programmed not to get it.

Ok follow closely. THEY HAVE SHUT DOWN. No one is making or shipping now from China. Some of the other countries are but raising their costs. You will see shortages and price increases. Inflation is coming. The lower economic activity will cost jobs. Unemployment is coming. Just wait.

"THEY HAVE SHUT DOWN"

Who is "they".

You really want to represent that "No one is making or shipping now from China."?

That's just beyond stupid.

What production and shipping has been stopped?

Have you been binge watching The View?

 

[jc456]

UK has a global tariff on all goods imported, unless you have a trade deal, which, as far as I can tell, UK doesn't have a trade deal with the US

Marshall Plan. Demofks, do you know it?

Hollie, shipping and production is part of the supply chain and he said it wasn't. That's who you are responding to. Doesn't even know what makes up the supply chain.

Welcome to business in the 2000's. No industry stockpiles inventory since the late 90's. Just in time has been the default goal to leverage working capital. Remember lumber running out at Lowes/HD? Ever tried to buy shingles after a hurricane? Nowhere to be found. You think nike shoes are sitting in a warehouse somewhere?

I am debating with amateurs here.

Plenty of industry stockpile inventory.
Keeping track of inventory stockpiles is an industry in itself.

figures that's all you got. embarrassment is all you own.

well they keep inventory counts in warehouses based on forecasts. And there might be hundreds of warehouses all with the same products inventoried for a region.

They really do think there is a magic supply chain that trump will call upon in the hour of need. Maga is really a collection of the dumbest people on the planet.

All of the stuff coming from China is produced at small scale in other countries. TRUMP is negotiating with these countries, hitting China provides an opening for many other countries to expand their existent markets. Being able to sell their product in the US will require some part of manufacturing to be done in the US.

I'm still waiting for you to explain why it's good for the EU to raise tariffs on China but bad for the US to do the same...

Give us a few examples ?

WTF. lol

The new order will also allow the car companies to offset a percentage of the retail price of their vehicles in order to lower the overall tariff rate over the next two years.

At least Bessent is now publicly saying that the Jina tariffs have to be addressed through lowering the trade deficit.

that's always been the plan. you didn't know that?

Somehow Trump the "brilliant businessman" doesn't understand the fucking administrative chaos this bouncing around causes American businesses, let alone the costs and the business.

Worse, supply chains are starting to freeze up because of this. Container ships are floating in place.

Doesn't ANYONE around him have the balls to say something?

They’ll be fired. Musk objected. He’s gone now. $100 billion dollars lighter but he’s got more.

Trump plans to ease tariff impact on US carmakers

President will ease some duties on foreign parts in domestically manufactured cars, administration says

www.theguardian.com

I dont even know what the policy is any more or who is covered. Trade wars are easy to win so why is trump twisting in the wind ?

Its hardly scaring the chinese. And donny is reduced to inventing meetings with the chinese.

Or maybe they are just meetings in his head. Who knows ?

And where is the free IVF he promised ?

Trump was “committed to bringing back auto production to the US”, the US treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, told reporters, “so we want to give automakers a path to do that quickly, efficiently and create as many jobs as possible”.

of course a foreigner like you would think that is a failing policy.

Well, unless the GQP grows some balls and removes Trump via the 25th Amendment, this "plan" of his had better work.

Early indications are not encouraging.
