Trump​ ❤️ Tariffs

[The Frankish Reich]

So Trumpies, help me to understand:

 

- we need tariffs to bring back the basic production jobs that have largely moved overseas to take advantage of cheaper labor.

- therefore, we should put tariffs on foreign goods, including agricultural products, to encourage U.S. production

- but we cannot grow tomatoes economically in the United States without foreign labor

- so we should import (provide some kind of "pass" according to Trump; we call that a work visa)  Mexicans to come and pick our tomatoes here

 

In what way, then, does a tariff on tomatoes protect American jobs?

I think he's throwing stuff at the wall to see what will stick. Still miles better than whatever leadership was under the previous administration.

If Trump had just sat on his hands and let the economy he inherited do its thing, we wouldn’t be watching GDP shrink, the dollar tank, tourism flatline, and inflation creep back up. But hey, tariffs and chaos are apparently the new growth strategy.

 

Enjoy the day you voted for!

 

No.  The reassurances they'd extend the tax cuts and the deregulation should've produced the sugar high investor reaction like his first term. Blown opportunity with his tariffs as interest rates would be lower and the stock market would be higher.  More small businesses, jobs, even lower inflation, etc...

Yes. 

 

He told you what he was going to do and you still voted for it.

 

He called tariffs his “favorite” and “most beautiful” word. Promised 10%, 20%, even 60% on China.

 

Said it would raise revenue, hit imports, rebuild industry.

 

Now we’re all paying for it. Just like he and Elon said you would.

He's lying.  Vietnam won't pay a penny.  US companies using cheap Vietnamese labor will be the one's paying the 20% tariff thus it's passed onto the American tax payer.  I don't even know if he realizes that.  If he does that's not a lot of respect for his followers.

Should I believe The US Secretary of commerce, with decades of financial experience  or  Doc Brown ?
