The Trump Tariffs thread

[K1052]

I shouldn't say this as I'm a liberal.. but Biden lost on immigration. Trump won on immigration. But the migrants Biden let in boosted the economy hugely.

So now Trump's trying to get rid of the migrants and put tariffs.. that's like shooting yourself in both feet.. the economy and people's ability to pay for goods/ services/ meds they need.

He'll need a lot of shady accounting to say the roof is not falling.. but how can the roof not fall when you knock out the pillars of support?

Inflation was by far the most salient issue to voters. It is true that the number of people Biden (legally) admitted actually helped keep it relatively low and fueled growth. Since Trump has collapsed legal immigration and is trying to arrest the undocumented workforce it's starting to have the same effect in raising prices that people were unhappy about, along with his tariffs. Choking off the labor supply is inflationary.

Don't forget inflation and the perceived "trans in sports" problem that plagues the nation at every level

Thus he fired the accountants.
Only propaganda from here on.

Fuck me

What an idiot

Last week he said are going to have 1000 1200 1500% cheaper drug prices

I wish some one would ask Caroline l what will this mean for the average Joe

She would go on a rant about Joe Biden and dodge question.

Trump loves his Chinese, Vietnamese, Bangladeshi and Mexican jeans.

Dumbest controversy ever. We should spend less time talking about Sydney Sweeney’s genes/jeans and more time talking about how back to school shopping will be so much more expensive for everyday Americans thanks to Trump.

For all the claims of "the left" melting down over it, I haven't seen it discussed anywhere other than here, and even that article just links back to another article that references 3 social media accounts that don't have a significant amount of followers. I think they're trying to make it a story.

The only people talking about this are on the right wing. Fox News is running wall to wall coverage.

Still worshiping Trump..

The culture wars are all they have to keep the Owning of the libs, rage and hatred going in the MAGA base. The actual policies are taking a shit in popularity.

Trump likes Sydney Sweeney because she reminds him so much of Ivanka...

He'll just fire people that tell the truth until it's full 1984, telling starving people that the economy is thriving and everyone's rich.

We're already there..

According to MAGA the economy is thriving.. just looking at the stock market.

Doesn't seem so now..

Are you sure about that? His approval rating on inflation is taking the biggest hit. Doesn't that indicate that it's the most salient issue right now, and he is failing drastically at it? If it wasn't important, it wouldn't be taking the biggest hit.

lmao good thing those aren't needed to make any products!

Remember that were supposed to be just 20% increase? now, expect 50% at the end... damn Trump.

 

[Indus]

Dumbass Turd is gonna make me pull the trigger on a video card..

I've taken good care of my GTX 1080 but after 8 years.. I don't want to take a chance on it lasting 3.5 more years.

Do you guys think any normal right leaning person will ever say/admit that Trump is a freaken idiot? Or have they altered their reality so much that no matter what was once considered bad is now either ignored or considered good? Like how long can they keep this up?

Longer than everyone will be alive sadly.

It's their version of "From my cold dead hands brains"

They'll keep it up until it affects them personally. Alot of different levels of the idiots.

 

[Indus]

He makes a good point.. these numbers Trump and his so called experts talk about are fantasy and work over 10-15 years when all of them will be gone. It's pure fantasy.

And with America being a fascist country.. moving production to America is like moving production to Ukraine. Apple has shown moving production from China to India put it in a bigger problem than just staying put in China.

The last 6 mins are really good about how Trump is disintegrating!

MAGA Nazism is part religion. Reality has nothing to do with their zealotry and fervent idolization of their false god.
The greatest tax increase in history, making prices rise more than a global pandemic, will cut away their support from the edges and fence sitters. But the faithful WILL NEVER care. Pain inflicted upon them by their own policy will only continue to make them more radical and more hateful towards their current minority / targeted group.

Well maybe alive red states. Blue staters get up to another 10 years.

 

[Jaskalas]

Solid rollout of the greatest tax hike in American history.
Not only are the American people going to be much poorer, our foreign relations are going to shit.
Seen as hostile actions that disrupt their economies too. Bonus points for the policy being delivered as blackmail.

• 'India’s sovereignty is non negotiable': China backs Delhi as Trump threatens tariff hike
• 'I won't humiliate myself': Brazil's president sees no point in tariff talks with Trump
