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

[Paradoxical#1]

Just say you don’t know and trust Trump. He lied to you but you don’t care.

Look at this chart. What is fair?

What do you make of the chart?

 

[Slade3200]

You didnt know that America spends a trillion a year more than we make?

No I didn’t… please show those stats if you’d be so kind

 

[citygator]

Thats ok for you as long as it lasts

But when the middle class is gone due fo unfair trade practices by china you will suffer too

Or if not you your children and grandchildren

Who will curse you

Oldest kid is an ER doctor. Youngest in college. Neither will work in a shoe factory. Neither would you.

What do you make of the chart?

Tariffs in single digits when Trump becomes president. He raises them to nearly 20% in first term which is higher than China’s. Then 92% of all tariff money gets funneled to farmers and the US keeps almost nothing. Then he gets into office a second time, calls his own tariffs stupid and makes them 145% killing all business because it was last minute and business have already bought or issued legal purchase orders for goods.

What scared you the most on J6?
Viking hat guy?
Selfie sticks?
Ty Wraps?
Real size working gallows?

Trump. Duh.

You forget he is the one who incited the terrorists.

You forget he created illegal fake electors in seven states to overthrow our democracy.

You disgust me in your sick attempt to brush off Trump's attempted coup.

Felon47 doesn't give a shit what happens as a result of his terror tariffs as long as he can line his pockets & cause enough misery in this country as he can get away with. He's a domestic terrorist using the power of the federal govt to thumb his nose at the law & Constitution.

He got away with J6 & the documents theft so all bets are off.

He's learned that there are no personal punishments for anything he does.

The more antisocial and counterproductive his behaviors, the more he is celebrated.

Has a society ever done a better job of just ASKING for an authoritarian, for fascism?

 

[g5000]

He's learned that there are no personal punishments for anything he does.

Trump did things for which his cult would scream for blood if it was anyone else.

Trump got away with his multitude of crimes because he committed them in New York and he had America's mayor/district attorney Rudy Giuliani watching his back.

Whenever Trump was caught, and he was caught a lot, instead of going to jail, he paid a fine.

That's New York's Favor Bank for you.

There's a reason Trump befriended Rudy. And then Trump burned him after January 6.

Trump could personally cure cancer , poverty, and drug addiction - all before breakfast tomorrow - and the NYT would roast him.

Reality just called, Trump isn't curing cancer, he's more likely to cut NIH funding for it, like he did recently, as well as for other diseases.

 

[krichton]

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

What you said right there is the biggest fake news of them all. Haha, good one!

 

[krichton]

How many of you guys are going to start a thread about this?

How many of you Chicken Littles said the sky was falling only to find out that it wasn't?

How many of you are trying to criticize anything and everything Trump does?

How many of you are defending every action Trump does no matter how idiotic, illegal and braindead?

 

[krichton]

Neither am I. Trumps actions around tariffs are not helping that situation. They are hurting it. Our leverage against China is dramatically lessened because of Trump

The Art of the Deal

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.

You’re a Liberal, try starting with the truth. The NYT is a joke and most adults know it, WSJ is following fast behind it…

After we evict the millions of illegals, our next target is dumbasses such as yourself! Can’t wait for that day to come…

[krichton]

Everyone shops there, that's why China is close to having a military that can crush the West.

I'm sure the Walton family believe they will be treated nicely by their Communist Overlords...

Why would China need to crush the west. Trump is doing that already with this global tariffs.

 

[krichton]

Are you happy with being dependent on communist china for many of our basic needs?

I’m not

Also, your side flooded America with illegal migrants

Are they taking jobs from Americans OR lounging around on welfare sucking up benefits?

The tariffs are disruptive, and thats a good thing that we need

We need to collapse our economy? That's a good thing? If they're so good, why is Trump backing off from them?

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Trump. Duh.

You forget he is the one who incited the terrorists.

You forget he created illegal fake electors in seven states to overthrow our democracy.

You disgust me in your sick attempt to brush off Trump's attempted coup.

Why did Nancy edit out the word ‘peacefully’ in her made for TV hearings?

 

[Mac-7]

No I didn’t… please show those stats if you’d be so kind

I think you do know that we have a trillion dollar trade deficit

With $400 billion going to china

What you are doing is a form of rope-a-dope

Your feigned ignorance is fooling no one

 

[Mac-7]

Oldest kid is an ER doctor. Youngest in college. Neither will work in a shoe factory. Neither would you.

Yeah sure

The internet was made for liars

Every lib in captivity has an ER doctor in the family

I didn't literally mean you personally but rather your generation

 

[Mac-7]

We need to collapse our economy? That's a good thing? If they're so good, why is Trump backing off from them?

Do you think it will never happen anyway now that china knows how weak you are?

Thats a powerful weapon for them to have

They can stop building up their military because they no longer need it

Now the chinese have you by the balls just by threatening to withhold iPhones or drugs from you and you fold like a wet suit

 

[Dragonlady]

Aww Atheist from Augusta, Trump supports the US and will do whatever he has to in that regard. Commies like you don't need to worry, your country won't be affected by our gained wealth.
Why don't you go out and find a job instead of whining al the time. Is SNAP that great, Libtard from Lithonia???

Trump is a failed conman who has gone bankrupt 6 times. He has never run a successful business in his life. His money was made through lies, scams, and fraud.

Trump supports no one and NOTHING but himself. Just the fact that you label me a "commie" shows what a moron you truly are.

I worked from the time I got my first paper route when I was 11, until I retired at the age of 66, you illiterate tool. Telling you that your President is a failure and a total fuckup, isn't "whining". It's truth telling.

You haven't the first clue about anyone or anything. TRUMP CULT rots your brain, or what passes for one.
