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

[EvilCat Breath]

Exactly. Where American products manufactured by Americans could compete in the global market we are banned by sky high tariffs other countries hit us with to keep us out. All Trump is doing is trying to level the playing field a bit so we are not stupid suckers other countries laugh at.

Honest to Heaven, democrats are so effing deranged that they support ANYTHING that hurts Americans. They will fight economic improvement no matter what it is. Open foreign markets? Ooohhh that's gotta be stopped. Arrest criminals? Instead just legalize their crimes.

Democrats are making themselves more hated every day. No wonder the youngsters are turning against them. This is the world they will have to live in.

The Democrats’ young man problem is real

Three theories for the Democrats’ failures with Gen Z men.

Trump is big talk, waffly walk.

He won't deliver.

Trump’s getting roasted in the latest New York Times piece, and it’s juicy! He was strutting around, promising 145% tariffs on Chinese goods would force companies to build factories in the USA. But surprise, surprise—his big plan’s a total dud! Big dogs like Walmart and Target told him straight: his tariffs would jack up prices and leave shelves empty. Now Trump’s admitting they’re a bust and backing off fast.

Where’s the “deal-maker” who was gonna make the world beg? Looks like reality slapped him silly!


The article’s got more dirt. Trump’s not just caving on tariffs. He’s dodging other fights too. He backed off firing the Federal Reserve chairman and, with the stock market down 10% since he started, his Treasury secretary’s scrambling to avoid a full-on trade war with China. This is the guy who said he’d make global trade bow to America, but now he’s learning it’s not as easy as tweeting tough. The Times calls it a “vivid case study” in Trump’s economic faceplant. Anyone else cracking up at this?


Trump’s crew is spinning it like he’s playing 4D chess, with his press secretary saying “have patience” and claiming 90 countries are ready to deal. Yeah, sure, Karoline! Sounds like a weak excuse for a guy who’s in way over his head. Check out the full takedown on nytimes.com. It’s brutal. So, what’s the vibe? Is Trump’s retreat a total humiliation, or are his diehards still buying the “genius” act? Spill the tea below and let’s clown this flop! #TrumpTariffs #BigL

Trump’s Tariffs Bump Into Reality as Economic Strategy Wavers

President Trump has said his punishing tariffs would force companies to build factories in the United States. But it is far from clear that they will have the effects he predicted.

I think the kindest thing I can say is that this is him pandering to his base, especially the blue collar workers in the midwest which have traditionally voted blue but voted for him because they thought he could bring manufacturing jobs back to the midwest.

Tariffs that are fair to Americans. I realize that some leftists are globalists and think that we should just get along with all countries and that we should be happy just being a third rate nation like we were under Biden.But Trump and myself happen to believe that nationalism is the best recipe for any country.

Capitalism's morbid existence rests upon fresh flesh at a cheap price to win market shares; if not, then expect to contract until you are insignificant.

Trump rests his laurels on baffling them with bullshit and not befuddling them with brilliance.

That’s rich. Biden illegally imported illegals to keep inflation down at the expense of blacks getting those jobs, and to keep government workers employed in the services they demand like free food, housing, schools and health care and you blame capitalism? LOL

Fake news. Nothing of the sort supports that conspiracy nonsense.

Oh I’m sure that’s the narrative you’ll push. Only if yall understood what a trade deficit was or how basic economics works

Have faith in the USA... no nation wants to lose the American consumer... we lead the world in purchases of foreign goods....

37T in debt is down to both parties.

We are never going to make our own stuff like you want.

Those days are gone.

Now you sound like Obama... "those jobs aren't coming back" well he was wrong and so are you...

Your comment amounts to worthless drivel. About what is expected from a libbie

Naw, but you know that.

If by R you mean retard the yes I am absolutely saying that because that’s how his policy played out

So D must stand for Douchebag.

I do have faith in the USA. We will be just fine. I don’t have faith in our idiot president

You're posting a photoshopped pic of Trump cuz you cant even admit the reality of your own eyes much less admit the reality that you have to read. You still havent posted what tariffs were in China and what they need to go to because YOU DONT KNOW. How you people just blindly follow a fat man that lies is so perplexing.

It's exasperating. Like little children following a clown through a playground.

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.

First of all, the lopsided Electoral College results were not even close to an accurate reflection of the popular vote.

Trump lost the popular vote “bigly” in 2016, and won it by the thinnest majority in decades.

Clinton expected Trump to act like a professional, campaigning for a serious and important responsibility.

What we got was a fake reality tV act. A nightclub act.

Trump wants to see his face on every TV screen.

He loves the trappings of office.

he does not care about the job, and won’t take responsibility for any of his crude schemes.

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

Tariffs helped wreck the economy in the 1930s. Why is Trump making the same mistake?

History may not perfectly repeat itself, but it often rhymes. Two protectionist episodes—the infamous Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 and the Trump-era

Getting food stamps is being reported

Blaming it in part on illegal aliens is my own contribution

So, you made it up. And you support your made up claim by making up more.

The recession was due to allowing people to buy stocks on credit.

And?
