Trump’s Big Tariff Talk Crumbles. He’s Backing Down Big Time!

[postman]

You're making my case for me.

But that was because they knew the tariffs would stay in place. Had they dropped the tariffs a year after putting them on, the newly started American metalsmiths, would have been under bid by the imports. And gone bankrupt.

The U.S. got 'flooded' with immigrants because we have a massive labor shortage.

We do not have anything close to an unemployment problem.

Who cares if household trinkets are manufactured in China!

The U.S. manufactures all the bad ass stuff that no other country can come close to:

Thats one way of looking at it

But I see many American workers drawing getting food stamps because their pay is too low thanks to an oversupply of cheap foreign labor

Easy now, JUST pick a political party Any party....
THAT PARTY will find the things you like, and offer you more & better of those things.
The cost... you got to HATE those not like you. OTHER AMERICANS.
But NEVER NEVER NEVER your party's politicians....
YOUR PARTY, MY PARTY

Making promises but only delivering TOKENS.

Delaware judge rules Newsmax coverage of Dominion Voting Systems was false, defamatory

Yeah....I'm sure they can always come up with some low-life judge willing to say that pigs can fly too.

I really grow tired from trying to push you leftist puke's faces into the correct direction.

Do your own research. Stay away from anything coming from propagandists like CNN and MSNBC.

That’s a lazy and evasive response. I have done research, not on MSNBC or CNN and I’ve found much of trumps claims to be complete bullshit. You made the claim that Canada and Mexico cheated and violated the USMCA. Can you back that up or not?

Yes.

 

[Slade3200]

Used to be tariffs were the only way the federal government could generate revenue....up until they created the income-tax.
Trump is simply trying to get back some of the money that everyone else has been stealing from us.

Glade you know a bit of history… did you get to the issues caused by tariffs in the past? The corruption surrounding them, the Great Depression, Smoot-Hawley etc etc

And you think it's okay for everyone else to use them and not the United States?

Wow. You are pretty stupid.

Tariffs are a great idea, but only when a Democrat decides to use them.

Nope I think it’s just fine for the US to use them as long as it’s done with smart strategy. Something Trump is seriously lacking

You only say that because Trump has an (R) in front of his name.

If he had a (D) in front, you'd say he was brilliant.

Look, don't piss on me and call it rain.

I know you're biased and full of shit.

Your opinion is based off of your faulty ideology.

 

[Rambunctious]

We are to big and strong not to recover. We will rebound… but that doesn’t mean what Trump is doing worked. It was a royal fuck up. Damage is done.

We will not only recover but we will finally get to a level field for trade... that will create jobs and spur on investment... its going to fix what's been broken for 50 years...

You do?

Where?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

All you people have is Fake News. He is making trade deals with each country.

You are making Fake News.

 

[Dekster]

He’ll go back and forth between beating his chest on X, and dithering.

90 days will pass with no trade deals being done (or even in negotiation).

When 90 days hits, there will be the usual chaos and finger pointing in the Whit Hose, and the financial market will get wobbly even more as the deadline passes with no outcome and no plan.

That is my expectation

Under Biden our UE was very good, our GDP quite nice, and pay was going up, all the time Biden had to fight to control the inflation started by Trump.

No.

First of all, the Democrats would have worked to insure that such a dangerous, heedless, corrupt moron never got in to a place of political leadership.

It’s the GOP that succumbed to the celebrity candidates, freaks. Carnival barkers and con men.

Trump, MTG, Boebert, BAchman, Santos, and the list goes on, and on.

Democrats and Democratic voters pick competent people.

Republicans know that their core base is not informed, nor does it want to be.

They prefer nonsensical solution proposed by crackpots.

The party is casting a reality show for Fox Noise.

Trump is dangerously incompetent by any metric.

 

[M14 Shooter]

And yet, he Democrats, in 2016 and 2024, worked to get Trump elected.
Why did Trump win those elections? Democrats conspired to run the one person on the planet who could not beat him.

 

[Rambunctious]

Under Biden our UE was very good, our GDP quite nice, and pay was going up, all the time Biden had to fight to control the inflation started by Trump.

Jobs were lost in manufacturing and agriculture and union auto worker jobs... so what if McD's gave raises when the minimum wage rates went up...
WE ARE 37 Trillion in debt. either we get a handle on that or life in America will forever be a struggle... we need good jobs and careers and we need to make our own stuff...
The EU was happy uner Biden because they could play him like a violin....
Our government workers were happy under Biden because they didn't have to work hard... so they are fighting us the people... that will stop one way or the other...

Please give me a link to the great depression being due to tariffs.

Blahahablahblahblah.

You leftist have proved to us that you can't run shit without fucking everything up......so you have to resort to name-calling and ridicule.

NOTHING YOU SAY IS THE TRUTH.

Every one of you cocksuckers says the same stupid shit.
