The Trump Tariffs thread

[DZero]

They don't need to. A deal with EU covers 27 nations

Also, China, Japan and South Korea wants to be taxed as a block

Trump wants just to show up as the bully but fails hard.

Lol! .. Dementia Donnie just admitted that China doesn’t pay for the tariffs.

After being the one responsible for the increased cost, trump demands Walmart not raise prices in order to maintain their profit margins. This is why he’s known as the king of bankruptcy.

Don the Con: - “Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected”

So ... instead of raising the corporate tax rate on the windfall these corporations are making, Trump, instead wants to increase the tax rate by implementing tariffs which he knows will be passed on to the consumer. Trump’s lashing out at Walmart is another display of his BS in an attempt to fool his ignorant MAGA base that he’s fighting for them.

If only that logic was used towards living wages for employees. Well.

Don the Con: - "I’ll be watching"

There's the threat, just like a mob boss wanna be

To recap:

Trump responds to Walmart’s price hikes over his tariffs by saying they should “eat the tariffs” and not raise prices, since they “made billions of dollars” last year. “I’ll be watching,”

Telling private companies what they can charge? Sounds a lot like communism.

Also ... He doesn't seem to understand revenues have to cover expenses. That's one of the reasons why he had those bankruptcies.

Does he believe in selling at a loss and making it up in volume? lol

Kamala Harris: "I will seek to protect consumers from price-gouging by corporations."

Trump/MAGA: "SHE'S A MARXIST!"

Donald Trump telling someone else to go without profit. Coming from the guy selling dinners at the Whitehouse for buying his crypto scam.

Don the Con: - 'Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected'

So why was Trump trashing Biden's economy?

The man who's spent a lifetime declaring bankruptcy and sticking other people with the bills has an economic theory, folks, lol

 

[VRAMdemon]

Incidentally ... Trump’s comments echoed Lutnick’s comments Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union arguing STILL that “businesses and the countries primarily eat the tariff.”

Brought to you by the same morons who have continually warned about raising the minimum wage because, "Businesses will just pass on the cost to consumers."

We are most likely watching the biggest tax increase on the American consumer in United States history

And Congress were not the ones who did it

47 is 86ing himself.

Yep

Majorly


I just checked my house recently to find out what was Made in America..

1. Weber Grill
2. Can Opener
3. Hammer & Pliers from the 1950's
4. 1950's oven that we don't use anymore

And nothing else.

Sorry to report…Weber grills are either 100% made in China…or assembled in the US from imported (from China) parts.
