Trump - Unforeseen Consequences

[westwall]

Wow. You really don't get the point do you?

I told you....idiot.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

has Trump leveled Tariffs on German cars yet .. last I checked he hasn't taken office ..

Nobody knows, his vagueness and general bumbling confused rhetoric generates uncertainty, that's what the article was about.

 

[Rawley]

I told you....idiot.

Woooosh - straight over the head

 

[Oddball]

US tariffs are higher than any EU state.

ORLY?....Checked the French tariffs on all foreign cars lately?

Nor you, your personal choice of car has 0.000000000% relevance to international trade.

You'll be paying more of all kinds of stuff we import.

We import electronic hardware, cars, fuels and oils, medicines, medical equipment, furniture, plastics, chemicals.

Here's the deal, dude.

If it costs more to import it...then why import it?

We can just make it here.

Pay Americans to produce it.

And that's the point.

Do you really need the sockpuppets? You were whining about the impact Trump's tariffs might have on the German car market. My German car (along with the cars of 5 million other "foreign" car consumers) are made here in the U.S. No tariffs. In fact, the whole point of Trump's tariffs.

The wanker is a full on moron. What more do you expect?

Should probably stick to the Jew hate and leave weightier subjects like international trade alone.

The US is part of a global system, we cannot just vary our tariff rates and magically create wealth, the rest of the system will react to any tariff change and the net impact on the US economy must be considered. If other nations see sales into the US falling (because US consumers don't want to pay the price) then they will compensate by raising tariffs on stuff they import from the US.

It is Trump who lives in a bubble and the devotees who hang on his every word.

Did you not read the article?

German carmakers’ share prices have slumped amid fears Donald Trump will impose steep tariffs on the industry after winning the US presidency for the second time.

BMW shares fell by 6.6%, Mercedes-Benz by 6.4%, Porsche by 4.9% and Volkswagen by 4.3% as investors scrambled to adjust to Trump’s victory. The four firms were the among the biggest fallers on Germany’s DAX stock market index on Wednesday.

What if we choose to not be a part of that globalist bullshit? You don't seem to understand that the USA is in the enviable position of being able to go our own way. We don't NEED anyone. We could close our borders, and in twenty five years, we would be the richest, most advanced, most free country in the world. It is the assholes trying to turn us in to yet another globalist shithole who are the problem.

Namely, assholes like you.

Maybe you'd better stick to Arab hating and leave economics well alone.

[progressive hunter]

So Trump acts unfairly and imposes tariffs on (say) German cars, you expect the Germans/EU to act fairly and do nothing?

A global economy of which we are currently the engine that drives it.

Feel free to fuck around and find out.

I sure you'll find a terrific market for your BMWs in Paupal New Guinea and Micronesia.

Yup. Trump's 10% reflects the 10% they charge American car mfg'ers. Investors recognizing the free ride is over.

Seriously, stick with the anti-Israel stuff. You are in over your head in any other subject.
