Trump​ ❤️ Tariffs

[4th&long]

Trump chickened out as soon as he saw the ports in LA didn't have cargo. Shops coming in. I knew he would.

So did China, for the same reason.  Expect a deal in the next 90 days.

What was the tariff number he wanted?

No one knows. He most recently pulled a new number - 80 percent - out of his behind.

Sadly, I believe this is true.  We're on the downslope.

I don't even know the end game as there's a lot of mixed messaging.  Is it a short term policy to make better trade deals with individual countries?  Is it to create jobs and businesses in the manufacturing realm to come back to the United States?  Are they trying to reorder global trade?  In the end, this is pry what's going to happen though as Trump makes artificial trade agreements to satisfy his ego while not sending the country into a depression under his watch.

 

 

Checks out over a month later.

Yeah, this is about right.  It's not about manufacturing.  It's not really about fentanyl.  It's probably not even about reordering global trade.  Or even imposing a sneaky national sales tax (which is the end result).  It's about ego.  None of it makes the slightest bit of economic sense.

This is the fallacy of the whole thing.  What kind of deal?  About fentanyl? Or American manufacturing? Or opening Chinese markets to American services (which it should be about)?  Or just some superficial nonsense that doesn’t substantively address the first two concerns and glosses over the third?

I just hope that you took your own Biden-era advice and bought the dip.

Please continue to support making things more expensive for lower class America. It’ll pay off, i promise.

I heard inflation was down. Hail Trump!

 

Sounds like you didn’t buy the dip. Not to worry - there will be more dips to come.

Is Walmart raising its prices because of the tariffs a desirable outcome for you?

How we doing on the collapse of the global economy? 

Is this still happening? Seems like an overreaction.

It absolutely was, but that didn’t stop your kind from posting threads about the “Kamala Collapse” or whatever.

So global economic collapse is NOT a thing? It’s hard to keep when you are so wrong about everything.

Maybe if you think really hard, you’d realize my comment was sarcasm directed at the people in hysterics over the “Kamala Crash.” 
 

You’re swinging and missing quite frequently these days. First you were completely wrong about NOAA SKYWARN training and now this!

Did you know SKYWARN training can be done virtually and without a live leader coordinating? You should look into it.

Did you know you failed to provide any proof of this and then bailed from the conversation?

Well glad you didn't spend a lot of time being concerned because "you knew." lol.
