Trump's speech Wednesday night (Poll)

...about 55% if they bought imported goods

Why US consumers will pay for over half of Trump tariffs this year: Goldman Sachs estimate

American consumers will shoulder 55% of tariff costs, while US companies will take on 22% and foreign exporters will absorb 18% by slashing prices on their goods, economists including Elsie Peng an…

Actually it is 77% if American companies are eating 22% since that is now money that cannot be spent on more employees or expanding their businesses or anything else...it is just tax money going to the government.

Not really. When Trump said that inflation was at a 48 year high when he took office, that is lying, even if the Trump supporters choose to call it "bragging"

IT was a 40 year high so quibble away. Bidens energy and spending caused the inflation. Pure stupidity

The 9.1% inflation rate was the peak annual increase in the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) during Joe Biden's presidency, recorded in June 2022. This figure was a 40-year high at the time, marking the fastest rise in consumer prices since November 1981.

Context of the 9.1% Inflation

• Timing: The 9.1% figure represents the year-over-year inflation rate for the 12 months ending in June 2022, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
• Key Drivers: The primary contributors to this peak were surging prices for energy (especially gasoline), food, and rent. Energy prices overall rose 41.6% over that 12-month period.

When Trump took office the inflation rate was 3.0%

Is 3.0% inflation a 48 year high?

Yes or no?

Not even close when Trump left office inflation was 1.4% Biden drove it up to 9.1% in one years with massive debt based spending and his war on oil increased energy. Thats what happens when a seriously impaired incompetent is elected president

I Gave you the BLS data

Very good of you to admit that Trump lied.

That had to hurt.

 

[TimFitz]

LOL, now that wasn't so hard was it?

No, it wasn’t. Nd there’s plenty more.

The incompetence of this regime is epic.

Which, in itself, is misleading in the extreme.

AI says the inflation rate in Dec of 2024 rate was 2.9%.

The rise in inflation during the early part of the Biden presidency was fallout from the Covid epidemic and the shutdown of global trade. Disrupting the global supply chain created shortages, chaos in logistics and manufacturing thst took a couple of years to normalize. (ljust in time for Trump to start his trade wars)

This happened in every nation on earth. Not just the United States.

In fact, recovery happened in the US before it did almost anywhere else.

But the Trump humpers are so isolated and parochial that they don’t see that, even though it is obvious.

TDS grows in a culture of stupidity

TDS is a made up term by losers like you

 

[Robert W]

The tariff revenue comes out of American pockets and not any foreigner's.

Those are American paid tariffs/taxes/duties paid to our government by Americans.

Will sales fall when prices are raised to consumers?

 

[Robert W]

There is no need to prove it....because it is simple FACT Robert.

Tariffs are collected and paid on imported foreign goods by the American company receiving the merchandise in our ports of entry. Customs will not release the containers of goods to the American importers until the tariffs/taxes are paid by the American importer.

I was in the business of importing shoes for over 25 years. We paid the tariffs and duties to U.S. Customs when the merchandise arrived in a U.S. port....the foreign country we imported the goods from did not and could not, pay them. The foreign business exporting them were paid by us for the merchandise there in the foreign country at the factory...then they are owned by Americans and released to us and we paid the shipping and insurance to get them shipped here.

The United States or any country does not have the power to tax another country's businesses and make them pay our govt taxes imposed through tariffs...we can only tax Americans with the tariffs levied.

Why do you suppose FDR and recently, Biden raised Tariffs? Trump is not the first to raise them.

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

He did no such thing. He ranted and raved like someone who knew he was tanking. He lied his ass off. Trump Jumped the shark tonight.

.

Show us, with time stamps, where he was "ranting" and "raving", and explain what makes you think he was doing so.

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

You motivate no one by screaming at them like you have screw loose.

.

Show us, with time stamps, where he was "screaming", and explain to us why you use the word "screaming".

Decibels? Do you have a decibel meter?






.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Go back and cut out the parts where he is blaming Biden for everything, and his speech lasted 2 minutes and 17 seconds.

.

Go and make a minute-by-minute breakdown and show us how many times he "blamed" Biden, and be sure to give us proof of why a word he said was untrue.







.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Exactly what did Trump lie about?

.

No responses.

They just lie.

Take a minute and watch this video, if you have 12 minutes, if you haven't already seen it. It's brilliant, and it shows us why we're wasting our time even talking to the left cultists.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Prove anything he lied about.

You won't and you can't.

These presidents did so with congress, as required by our constitution.

These presidents made strategic tariffs, not across the board for EVERY COUNTRY throughout the world, with no thought or reason...causing havoc and chaos for US Businesses.
