Who will end the tariff war quagmire?

[Mac1958]

Trump worshippers don't need no stinkin' empirical data.

Well, the neat thing about MAGA is that when there's actually REAL empirical data that supports them, they're all over it.

If the REAL empirical data is on the other side, they just source the voices in their world and run with them. Or they can just access their imagination.

So it's a win/win situation for them! How cool is THAT!

Why would I bother “conjuring up a public survey” because you’re still a triggered bitch over last fall? You’re irrelevant, both politically and intellectually.

You people have been "triggered" since 2020 and still.

Trump doesn't like public surveys. tread carefully or you're out

 

[citygator]

That's wrong. Because China gets dollars to buy our debt.
If NIKE got all the money China would not have so much fucking money, duh.

If US consumers bought US made New Balance instead of Chinese made NIKE, US workers would have more money to spend in the US. NB and NIKE are about the same price. China would have less money to spend on their military, duh.

America is the richest country in the world and has the biggest companies in the world cuz we make a ton of profit selling Chinese low cost stuff and using the profits to make more money. China has cash it has earned for doing shit and can spend that cash however they want. It is GOOD that they have American cash.. not bad. We have wayyyyyyyy more. It’s in the hands of the people. There is no relation of selling Chinese goods to a deficit. If you want no deficits take some of the profit all the companies and people have and give it to the government in taxes.

I swear none of you righties has any clue how an economy and trade works. We WANT them to have US money. Jesus. We are going to all die broke with you dummies supporting this clown.

The fact is that, whether they are able to face the facts or not, they are the facts.

The business interest that endorsed him are now bemoaning his erratic economic policies:

... Putting tariffs on certain items, pulling them off, and then putting them back on again is exactly the type of volatility CEOs were bemoaning in their earnings calls this week. ​

"The level of uncertainty is too high. It’s not healthy and it’s affecting investment, spending and planning, and that will have an effect on growth and the economy,” Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon recently said.​

Tariff narratives?

You people seem to get butthurt over everything. Is it some sort of a fatal attraction with you people?

Trump wants China to buy more US stuff to reduce the trade deficit; macroeconomics is more complex than you think.
Trump also wants more US manufacturing to create wealth, that is also a good thing.
There are more Chinese billionaires than US billionaires, why? Because they create wealth.
Making China wealthier so they can dominate the world is not a good strategy.

Come on man. We are waaaay wealthier than China. AND we have twice their billionaires. We have 902 they have 450. Check Forbes. I just did. You lied. Or repeated a lie.

Your desperate attempt at diversion from Trump's wreaking havoc on the economy is amusing.

The empirical data is irrefutable.

I’m not deflecting from anything. Just pointing out what a pathetic loser you are, so emotionally overwrought by Trump’s existence. Get a hobby or something, shitlamp.

Okay, PeeWee.

1. Thanks for checking that, you are correct I heard that on TV.
2. When I was young all the Chinese rode bikes everywhere, today they ride fancy cars. What happened? They got wealth.
3. Our wealth is a mirage, we owe $37T. That is not wealth.
4. Biden threw money from helicopters and put $8T on the Debt, we appear wealthy, but we are not after paying back what we borrowed.
5. You are correct separating the Debt and the trade deficit, but getting more Federal revenue has to be better than borrowing.

Ad hominem diversions fail to assuage the havoc your messiah is wreaking on the economy.

Who left the hand grenades in the playpen?

The irresponsible, erratic and sporadic tariffmania that is wreaking havoc with the global economy must be stopped.

Calm down squid, ALL of our trading partners are in negotiations and sometime soon we will have a MUCH BETTER trade balance than before. Put simply for you tariff challenged types, that means America will take in many, many billions more simply by more reasonable agreements.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I doubt China will do any such thing. They are a separate case.

You don't have to have the same tariff structures for all countries. Canada and Mexico however will likely do as you say. We already had effectively free trade with them.

No, they had free trade with us. We did not have free trade with them.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Thats not what trump's tariffs are. They are not equal tariffs. They are a mathematical function of the trade imbalance.

Lets take Mexico. We had a free trade agreement with Mexico. Defacto 0 tariffs. What does Trump want?

Stopping the production of fentanyl and smuggling it into the US. Didn't you know?

If you like to believe that Trump kept his promises to end the war in Ukraine in one day, end inflation on day one, and that his tariffmania has been an economic success, then you must still be concerned about his Black immigrants eating their neighbors' pet cats and dogs, no doubt.
