Wasn't The Point of Tariffs to Make Companies Open Factories Here?

[j-mac]

We were told that tariffs would return jobs to the US:















Since Trump blinked and removed the tariffs for 90 days, why would any company who was considering opening plants and factories here to avoid the tariff, now do so?

If the rest of the world removed tariffs and we did so as well, how would that coerce a company to return jobs to the US where they pay more for production than they would overseas? It wouldn't.

So again, what is the point of tariffs?

Jesus H….You people cried when he put ‘em on, now your cryin when he pauses them…You’re about a dishonest somebody, I tell ya.

Trump caved.

His handlers explained to him he was about to create a recession, and the Democrats would sweep the House and Senate, and his dictatorship would end.

Is that what Raw Story is telling you?

Orange Man Bad was impeached 2 times at the cost of millions of tax $$$s.

Thats like tits on a nun....useless.

You obviously have been hanging out with the wrong Nuns.

 

[Care4all]

I’m amazed at how inverted your reality has become! It’s a 180 degree difference from what I’m seeing

You’re telling me Biden was open and honest and that Trump is the one using government to enrich himself

Amazing

Yes, actually...YES!!!!

Oh and when biden got back in office people started going back to work. That isn’t creating jobs.

Unemployment was at 3%. Sorry it doesn’t fit in with your fantasies.

Please tell us when we’ll start making I-phones here... Any day now, right?

We were told that tariffs would return jobs to the US:

There are monthly employment and balance of trade reports if one desires to ignore the media and judge things objectively by the numbers. I'm not a fan of tariffs, but I'll wait and see how it goes.

Jesus H….You people cried when he put ‘em on, now your cryin when he pauses them…You’re about a dishonest somebody, I tell ya.

I quoted a bunch of trump dick suckers like yourself saying th point was to bring jobs back.

Then he takes the tariffs away before a single job is re-shored.

I’m enjoying you guys flail around trying to come up with a new rationale.

Well, I wasn’t quoting the media, I was quoting the TDSers here. None of them who said the point was to re-shore jobs can now explain how reducing the tariffs that were imposed weeks earlier will re-shore jobs.

Actually for now looks like iPhone are going to be made in India for now.

So, not the US.

Not for now, but at least China won't either.

So...no new American jobs from the Tariffs...just new taxes on American consumers.

Where is the “win”?

 

[Captain Caveman]

He imposed tariffs in 2017....Many if not most stayed in place during the biden administration...

How many more overnights is it going to take until Iphones are made here?

So why didn't Biden increase US manufacturing ??

So why didn't Biden cancel the tariffs ??

Why did Biden increase some tariffs but you didn't twine ??

Have you been on the sherbet ????

We had unemployement at about 3% under Biden which is considered the point where we’re at “full employment”.

But we’re talking about the blob here, not Biden. Try to keep up.

Lol, if you loons don't release another deadly virus to derail Trump's economy again. We will be fine.

Why are you derailing, the topic is tariffs. Try again.

Ahh...the enivitable conspiracy theory that is the basis of every “thought” you have.

Getting back to the failure of tariffs, not only are i-phones not going to be made here, their price is going up. Is that accurate?

Well, since you want to talk about tariffs,

What is your current (I know it changes on what your blob says and you’re too dickless to stand up for yourself...) reason for the tariffs?

Don't really care.
