The EU is taking advantage of us with their use of tariffs, which is why the President is threatening to slap tariffs on them. No other President has stood for us like that.
I don’t have a problem supporting European economies, we share the same culture and values for the most part. They just need to kick the globalist assholes and the EU to the curb. It’s really just the third world shitholes that we need to impose tariffs on.
Shanghai does not represent the bulk of China.
Dude, YOU are a globalist. You are an American making your living in Germany. You represent the free movement of labor across borders. That is THE definition of a globalist.
Why don't you come back to America and use your skills to benefit the US economy rather than the German economy?
Did you know that the US slaps a 25% tariff on light trucks? And that light trucks represent 60% of all consumer vehicles in the US.
The EU has a 10% tariff on US
vehicles. The US has a 2.5% tariff on EU
cars and a 25% tariff on EU
light trucks.
You're not dumb. Do the math.
0.6(0.25)+0.4(0.025)=16%
US tariffs on EU vehicles = 16% > EU tariffs on US vehicles = 10%
So the US imposes a
higher tariff on
all vehicles than the EU.
You didn't know that, did you?
That's because you don't bother to read or research sources that contradict your narrow ideology.
