Economy Trump's April 2nd Tariffs

Yeah but we’re demonizing immigrants and scaring them from coming here. The main reason China is predicted to not pass us is due to their aging population. Trump is doing everything he can to slow down our GDP growth. If we didn’t have immigration we’d most likely be in a similar situation. Most people aren’t having enough kids but we make up for that with young families coming here to work. This is one reason in very much pro-immigration. They also commit less crimes on average despite the hysteria coming from the right.
There's an argument that most of if not all of the improved economic performance of the US relative to other developed economies is because of our immigration policy. Idk if I buy that its quite that decisive but there's no doubt its part of the secret sauce that makes America uniquely productive.

Trump is not only scaring off immigrants on the low skill side of things with the aggressive mass deportation of immigrants from the Americas, he's also going to scare off talented students and professionals who might think of moving to the US. On this I strongly disagree with Deorum but I'm probably a bit radical in regards to immigration generally in that I think the problem of illegal immigration is more of an issue of bureaucracy, in that the system is not equipped to deal with the inflow of immigrants that our economy organically attracts, rather than an enforcement one, where the goal is to harshly enforce existing law so as to reduce migrant inflow to the US.

No. I'm not repeating any talking points. And your post goes back to my earlier point about this area of sherdog being a cancer. I gave you my honest read and instead of engaging in a civil discussion you chose to be insulting, accuse me of not thinking for myself, injected your own perceived intellectual superiority and pretend that you know everything that is going on behind the scenes.

Just enjoy your life. Have a good one.
im so sorry you came to a forum called the war room and found it too hostile for you. like i said, the truth is out there and you can find it if you want. I'm not sure why you took a warning that you are being lied to as anything but a warning. talk about injecting perceived intellectual superiority...

You haven't answered my question regarding your point of Trump pausing tariffs on the countries that showed goodwill and want to negotiate.

If that were true, why did he double down on implementing tariffs on Canada the first time around, when Canada pleaded with him to renegotiate and they were willing to go to the table on the very USMCA that Trump himself signed in his first term. Canada begged him not to do the tariffs, and he did it anyways.

So all of a sudden with the rest of the world, he decides to pause the tariffs because he saw they were goodfaith countries that want to be reasonable and negotiate? But Canada wasn't?

Your line of thinking simply doesn't make sense because there's too many contradictions at play.

The more sensible thing was Trump went to war with tbe world, saw how China bit back when Trump barked, became afraid of other countries prepared to do the same thing (look into how the EU was preparing for retaliatory tariffs to be announced next week), realized he'd be fighting too many battles on too many fronts, so decided to focus his efforts on China since that narrative would allow him to "win" for his MAGA base.

If you don't agree with me that's fine. But please explain why Canada wasn't paused the same way these other countries are now paused when they told Trump many times after the announcement of tariffs in March that they were willing to negotiate and even went to America several times to try and break bread.

The truth is out there, but it warps your perception of reality and also your willingness to admit you could be wrong when you've convinced yourself that you've discovered it all.

I wish you the best.

buddy, your whole talking point filled post doesn't make any sense. And, because you are repeating it nearly verbatim from some propaganda tweet or "news" i can only come to the conclusion that you don't understand what you are talking about. You've ignored the facts i gave you about products vs services because you got butt hurt i told you to stop believing lies. Sorry that you turned this into a negative experience for yourself. i wish you only the best.
 
The stock market really makes me think everything is just fake. Like how is Tesla up 25 percent today when the company’s reputation is gone and the trade war between USA and China is exploding. In fact a lot of stuff is skyrocketing today while China announced 80 percent on USA and we increased tariffs to 125. I just don’t get it

Same to you.
Still waiting for a reply to the post about Canada
 
Just pointing out that the guys whose posts you’re liking is verifiably wrong. Anyway…
No actually you went out of your way to insult me is what happened. That RP might've been wrong about some obscure point is irrelevant to the fact that you're coping hard in here, grasping for some angle to find a W only find L after L.
