Economy Donald trump to impose Tariffs feb.1st.

Yeah...pretty sure others see how you operate. Seeing this exchange and associating you with "bad faith" is what objective people will do. Maybe not always, IDK...but damn sure with most interactions with me.
You can certainly hope so but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Somehow you think one post in another thread grants you an e-victory here but I'm not so sure others would agree.

It's not one post, which I've told you repeatedly. You can literally click onto that thread and see all my posts within seconds. And there's yet another thread (the one about the cost of eggs) where I posted the same things. This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about with bad faith. You KNOW there are a bunch of other posts but unless I go back and copy paste all of them into this thread you'll make claims it's "one post".

Can you be honest? Just this once?

First off, no I don't know that there's a bunch of posts in other threads like you're claiming unless you cite them and I certainly won't take your word for it or look them up for you.

Secondly, even if there are so what? How does that affect what I've said ITT?
 
Nah.. we don’t want your shitty healthcare where the only doctors who don’t have 5 year wait times are the ones who help you kill yourself
Imagine using this as part of your argument; the American health system is ridiculed by it's own citizens, and nearly every developed and undeveloped country in the world.

The envy of no one

Canada has been dragging it's feet with all of the things Trump got them to agree to for a long time. Sad it took a foreign leaders pressure to do it.
It's not about the fentanyl. He got the same deal that was in place before he kicked up some dust, but in his babbling leading up to it he was talking about U.S banks, annexing Canada, immigration... There is no plan. There is no clear objective. Trump is a short-term thinker, and leads and is a daily improviser. He also loves the attention and having news cycles covering him 24/7 to satisfy his egotistical demands. Even the WSJ called this the dumbest trade war in history. There is no rational justification to piss on a hundred years of diplomatic goodwill right now, and the fact that his (receding) base is talking behind him is indicative that misinformation and the cult of personality that is Donald Trump still has a hold on the psyche of millions of people.

Trump's favorability rate dropped 10 points since his inauguration and he's still in the first 100 days of his Presidency when his favorability should be sky high and/or ascending. My prediction is Democrats will gain a lot of ground in the midterms. All this chaos is not good for him or the Republican Party.

Tariff War
- Americans - Oh no! Maple syrup and some beer is more expensive
- Canada - Our entire economy is fucked

lol… you’re a moron with Stage 4 TDS. You have zero clue what you’re talking about
Automobile products, lumber, aluminium and, most importantly, energy (oil and gas). It's not just maple syrup and beer.

I almost wanted to see the tariffs take hit just so see you guys squirm on why suddenly why inflation skyrocketed.

Sure, our economy would suffer tremendously. But the average American will be hammered with additional (and needless) costs.
 
In LA right now there are riots and protests over deportations. In these protests hundreds of illegals are waving Mexican flags and throwing shit at police. If you don't see the irony of people waving Mexican flags, and fighting feverishly not to go back there after coming here illegally, you won't understand tariffs. If you can't see that Mexico and Canada ignored our pleas to close the borders, you won't understand tariffs. If you choose to ignore that fentanyl is now the number 1 killer of men aged 18-45, and none of that is made here, you won't understand tariffs. If you can't see the sanctuary cities can't take care of their incredible homeless problem, and drug problems, but gladly accept more migrants to add to the problem, then fight a solution, you are a fucking idiot. It's no wonder the mayors in Chicago and LA have SHIT approval ratings.


They have ALREADY begun to work:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed to crack down on border security Monday in exchange for a pause on President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Trudeau promised to invest $1.3 billion in shoring up Canada’s border and appoint a “Fentanyl Czar” to oversee a $200 million effort against the drug in exchange for a pause on Trump’s 25% tariff on Canadian goods enacted Saturday, the PM announced on X. Canada’s 25% retaliatory tariff was also postponed as the two leaders pledged co-operation to secure their mutual border.




Mexico is stopping caravans and dispersing them all over, including Acapulco. You know where that isn't? HERE.

"Mexico continues dissolving attention-grabbing migrant caravans and dispersing migrants throughout the country to keep them far from the U.S. border, while simultaneously limiting how many accumulate in any one place."

I literally gave you the thread that a bunch are in. You could just click over and see them. But yeah, they don't exist unless I go copy/paste each one while posting on my phone. Good grief.

It affects what you've said because you attempted to frame my view a certain way on this topic and all those posts belie that assertion you've made. And of course you know this, but will instead play this game where you feign ignorance rather than just offering a mea culpa. Unsurprising, but sad just the same. Integrity not something you seem to cherish I guess. Carry on.
 
While Elon busy taking your social security and Medicare away lets keep people talking about a fake trade war.
Why is the guy who is still in charge of a trillion dollar company, dictating where the money goes . If I had falling sales like Tesla did I would turn off subsidies or grants to my competitors. The conflict of interest is staggering giving Leon the Treasuries check book and the other staggering part is as long as he hates Trannies and immigrants a lot of Americans are cool with it.
I guess all those budget cuts to education are really paying off.

I'm not going to do your work for you, if you think there's posts in there that prove your point feel free to cite them.

What did I say ITT that you think these posts prove wrong? What posts exactly do you think I made ITT that warrant a "mea culpa"?
 
Oh, the other aspect of Trump agreeing to Mexico's deal was Trump vowed to stop the flow of American guns into Mexico. Not sure how the ATF will accomplish that without gun control measures Republicans would likely be very against


Is Trump planning on supporting this democrat introduced bill that got submitted yesterday?


Specifically, the Stop Arming Cartels Act would:

  • Prohibit future nongovernmental manufacture, importation, sale, transfer, or possession of .50 caliber rifles;
  • Regulate existing .50 caliber rifles under the National Firearms Act, with a fee waiver and 12-month grace period for registration on the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record for those who lawfully possess them under current law;
  • Create an exception to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), allowing victims of gun violence to sue manufacturers and dealers who engage in firearm transactions prohibited under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (the “Kingpin Act”);
  • Prohibit the sale or transfer of firearms to individuals sanctioned under the Kingpin Act and add Kingpin Act designations to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS); and
  • Require firearms dealers to report multiple sales of rifles to state and local law enforcement agencies, as they must currently do for handguns.

Wouldn't be the first time Trump was in favor of gun control while president

Yet another reminder for the marks who still buy the "90% of guns in Mexico come from America!" fake news.

Also it's not a coincidence the Canadian tariffs were paused the same day the GOAT hockey team and GOAT hockey player visited the White House.

You need me to keep repeating the same things? Literally everything i posted in those other threads was ONLY critical of Trump. Literally any objective person that read them would know that my stance on the tariffs was that they were a terrible idea and it was on Trump for pulling this shit. I repeat (again), ALL OF THOSE POSTS. The thread isnt that long, its not much "work" for you to take a look. But instead, you think Inshould copy/paste each of those into this thread LMAO. Of course, you don't think context and totality matter when it undermines your objective (in this case, attempting to ascribe to me a position that's not mine). The mea culpa would be for refusing to acknowledge this (painfully obvious) truth and instead clinging to the silly fantasy you created in your head.

What position did I ascribe to you that wasn't yours? And in which post did I do this?
