Why We Should Be Very Angry About the Tariffs — and Why Trump Is Right Again

[kyzr]

The convicted felon/sexual abuser/business fraud's crapping on so many American ideals is repugnant to any patriotic American, but it is the cult messiah's crackpot tariff fixation that is auguring his imminent descent.

Trump has seen a 14.9% erosion of his popularity in just over ten weeks. Much of this deterioration is with the independent voters who were crucial to the 47th president’s 2024 victory. ​

An April 2 Reuters-Ipsos poll, for example, showed Trump deep underwater with independents for a job-approval ratio of 37% positive and 59% negative.​

So why do you think that most Americans prefer Trump and Republicans to the slimy stupid democrats?

Buy domestic, dummy.

Swallow Trump's inflationary prices?

You can if you want to.

American manufacturers use imported components

On April 2nd, President Donald J. Trump did something no other modern president has

....been stupid enough to do. He turned the whole world against US. Except for his buddies in Russia , China and North Korea. That should tell every American trump is a traitor.

Normal Americans are exponentially more intelligent than you.
So, no.

sweeping tariffs on the very nations that have been gutting the American economy for decades. A 10 percent universal tariff across all imports. Targeted

Trump, and trump alone created this trade war.
Trump lies about Stolen Election, now he's convincing you that we (the USA) is getting ripped off by every country in the world.
That's a LIE.

Let’s be clear: these tariffs didn’t start a trade war. They responded to one.

We have free trade agreements with many Countries.

Trump thinks Vietnam has a 90% tariff on our products. You don’t believe that stupidity, do you?

Fail.

What exactly is the problem with this? Why does a negative trade balance bother you?

Did you see where we had high tariffs and a positive trade balance? Given those two choices, what would you prefer?

The side with lower inflation and higher economic growth.

On April 2nd, President Donald J. Trump did something no other modern president has had the spine to do. He declared “Liberation Day” and slapped sweeping tariffs on the very nations that have been gutting the American economy for decades. A 10 percent universal tariff across all imports. Targeted, punitive tariffs up to 34 percent on bad actors like China. And guess what? We should be furious—not at Trump—but at the spineless presidents before him who let things get this bad in the first place.

Let’s be clear: these tariffs didn’t start a trade war. They responded to one.

For decades, our so-called allies and trading partners have been gleefully waging economic warfare on the United States, with the full permission — no, the encouragement — of prior administrations. China flooded our markets with cheap steel, violating trade norms and collapsing American mills. The European Union protected its own industries while slapping barriers on ours. Japan, Taiwan, and others enjoyed one-sided access to our consumers while shielding their own markets with layers of red tape and tariffs.

Our economy, our country has cancer.

Previous remedies from the experts were sugar pills and sleep.

We have now been prescribed chemo
Chemo is not pleasant.
It is very effective.

The Trump administration and its Supporters
Believe the tariffs will not increase prices.
Will cause a large shift in demand away from imports & towards domestics production.
And will raise huge amounts of revenue.

I have personal doubt over who will actually pay for this effort.
We all will see as it unfolds.

Are you seeing the same chart I am?

 

[Marener]

Are you seeing the same chart I am?

Yeah. My point is I don’t care what the trade balance is. I care what economic growth and inflation are.

Trade balance doesn’t really matter if the economy is growing well.

So billions of dollars leaving the country doesn't bother you?

Why would it? We get stuff for those billions of dollars. I like stuff.

 

[80zephyr]

Because it doesn't get recycled here.

Its cool to see a new topic not already being discussed in 30 other threads.

At least one that tells the truth!
