Economy Donald trump to impose Tariffs feb.1st.

[Rob Battisti]

He literally said there was NOTHING they could do to stall the tariffs.

Yeah clearly a negotiation tactic. Is it that you don’t like the outcome or think he means what he says?

Mexico reaches deal with Trump to avert tariffs for at least a month

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that her country has avoided hefty U.S. tariffs — for now — after coming to an agreement with President Trump.

In exchange, she said Mexico had agreed to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 members of its national guard in order to combat migration and the trafficking of illegal drugs.

Yeah, and I picked Newsweek for you, bud.

"In a report by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) think tank, which assessed the agreement, the White House reported that while 25,000 troops in a "new national guard" were created since the tariff agreement, 10,000 were positioned along the southern border of Mexico to Guatemala.

These figures were taken from a (since-deleted) 2019 White House press briefing.

An archived copy, quoting former Acting Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan, stated: "In addition, since June, Mexico has deployed thousands of troops.

"They've created a new national guard within their country: 10,000 troops to the southern border; 15,000 troops to the northern border with the United States. Again, unprecedented support and cooperation with the government of Mexico."

Fact Check: Did Donald Trump get 28,000 Mexican soldiers to police border?

Former president Donald Trump alleged he had threatened the Mexican government with tariffs to secure the troops.

Pres. Sheinbaum is doing the same thing but with more with troops with Trump as Mexico did with Biden PLUS she got Trump to bend the knee and go AGAINST the NRA and STOP the flow of guns into Mexico.

Congratulations.

You can applaud as you can PLAINLY see that Trump hasn't got a clue. But hey, those tariffs are gonna kick in any minute now, right??!

You can play dumb but we all know the faux-centrist playbook and your posts ITT are a perfect example. Trump is poised to torch the market but you find some way for the Dems to share blame.

Like I said others can make that judgment for themselves based on our interactions.

But you think tariffs will somehow?

You don't think helping the companies with the largest market cap will benefit the economy? But Trumps tariffs to bring back steel production might?

Yeah we just personally hate the guy, it's nothing to do with his politics or his disdain for our norms and institutions.

"We all know" and " others can judge". Talk about concession via empty response LOL, sheesh.

It looks like you’re the new “no matter what you say bad about Trump it doesn’t matter” poster here.

Used to be me.

 

[Andy Capp]

Breaking news, they just announced Trump has delayed the tariffs until March after all.

@Cajun on your behalf, if I may,

Pretty much anyone who is a centrist regardless of right or left lean - fall in line or face the (verbal) consequences.

Perhaps, I willing to see what happens before making my judgment

You don't think helping the companies with the largest market cap will benefit the economy? But Trumps tariffs to bring back steel production might?

Not the companies that are bloated with investment. But that's a conversation for another time. It's more an argument of principal anyways. If you expect Americans to be loyal to their country, then the oligarchs must at least remain loyal to Americans.

Yeah we just personally hate the guy, it's nothing to do with his politics or his disdain for our norms and institutions.

Yeah, your norms. It clearly hasn't felt normal for many Americans, which is why a populist has been elected twice now

Yeah, that or people who make disingenuous arguments in order to appear closer to the middle get shown up for the charlatans they are and then whine about it. One or the other, undoubtedly.

 

[evergreenrider]

by the look of it
mexico president was the one who caved. it's mexico who has to deploy their troops or else.
they are doing exactly what trump asked them
not that i agree with this kind of negotiation style towards an ally but trump got the win this time

What good does sending Mexican armed forces when we just accused the Mexican government of being in bed with the cartels? The same government that's kinda in charge of said armed forces? Huh.

 

[Strychnine]

Trump folding like a cheap suit. Getting cucked up and down.

It's sad to see. Really. What happened to "The great magnificent tarriffs!!!!!" ?

fantastic breakdown from a Snowmexican

That's not what the NY Times, President of Mexico, or our leadership s saying. That is not what our Border Control has witnessed on their side of the border pre-Trump. You can believe all the bullshit Left Cult propaganda you want. I'll stick with reality.

 

[Sinister]

Yeah clearly a negotiation tactic. Is it that you don’t like the outcome or think he means what he says?

"So lets recap:

- Trump announces tariffs.
- Allies turn against the U.S., launch boycotts on U.S. products and boo us at events.
- Markets nosedive.
- Trump caves.

The "deals":
- Mexico agrees to do the same things they always do at the border to help the U.S. (including under Biden)—but ALSO get Trump to agree to work to stop weapons trafficking from the U.S.-Mexico.
- Trudeau agrees to do the same things they always do to help the U.S., but also says he'll name a 'fentanyl czar' (despite the fact that barely any fentanyl at all comes from Canada to the U.S.)"

Boy got folded.

Seems that to the left leaning on this forum, there is no difference between them.

 

[Strychnine]

We've been fucked in Canada for quite some time lol. However, with Mexico and Canada coming to terms, for now, any trade war is off the table. I like that it's a trial basis and not some blanket agreement, which could help make it workable for everyone.

This is all you had to do in the first place Justine.

Trump would've done something else anyway.

To Trump, it's all just reality T.V. and it's all about the ratings. It doesn't matter if "the little people" get ground up in the gears, just as long as he gets his ratings share.

It still is, but it used to be too!

lol @ the irony of responding to being accused of making disingenuous arguments with a disingenuous argument.

 

[mkess101]

I've already made comments on your two posts that do exactly that.



Trump bad, but it's democrats fault for their message not reaching me. Dems bad because they couldn't penetrate skulls denser than lead.



Dems lost to trump so Dems must be bad and anyone supporting them is drinking the koolaid. jesus christ man. touch grass.

You guys are so fucking out of touch. You can't even comprehend that someone could have disdain for both political parties. And you're telling ME to touch grass.

I can't even make this stuff up.

No, the Dems can't be disconnected, allowing a narcissistic felon to trounce them. It's not possible!

Does living in reality scare you? Is that the problem?
