Economy Trump's April 2nd Tariffs

[Rod1]

I love how Trump has turned Democrats into free traders.

Democrats have been for free trade since Clinton.

Will he or won't he.
Stay tuned to find out on The Greatest Circus in American History

He will because he still doesn’t know how Tarriffs work and who gets money on them , he also won’t care because by the time the Trumpers are without a Trump in office he doesn’t have to face any backlash he knows they can be living in cardboard boxes right now some of these people still won’t have one bad thing to say about him I’ve seen some people breaking up or getting divorced over this clown . Lol

 

[Deaths Head]

He has concepts of a plan....

Actually he calls them theories , that’s his actual reasoning for the Tarriffs ( In Theory They Should Work was his explanation even though anyone with any critical thinking knows they don’t ) there’s multiple posters trying to win argument on here using his ( In Theory) speech trying to sound intelligent . Lol

It is all Squid Pro Quo

This is so frigging slimy and they have their tentacles so deeply penetrated into the financial markets that Mark Uyeda must have sucker marks on his testicles.

Elon gives Trump millions and reinstates him on X-twitter giving him the biggest microphone back even though they are supposedly competitors of Truth Social.

Trump does a TESLA commercial at the white house, has his commerce secretary pump the stock, pushes auto tariffs that benefit Tesla, who’s stock and sales were/are slipping badly, by adding thousands of dollars of costs to most of his competitors. And pushes his weird and money losing meme crypto coin as the sitting president.

He also lets ELON run DOGE, cutting 10’s of thousands of jobs and closing whole departments, while giving interns like good old “Big Balls” unfettered access to our sensitive data. Some of those departments are the watchdogs that are supposed to protect us against pay for play, consumer fraud, and quid pro quo deals.

Trump rolls out these tariffs early in an attempt to help distract from the fact that his DOD & National Security team look like drunken karaoke singers calling up a journalist to sing along with their Houthi attack plan song. Then begin to lie, smear the journalist, smear the app, and roll out their favorite terms “witch hunt” “Hoax” “I don’t know” “Many people are saying” etc.

Both of these men have shown no restraint in taking advantage of or breaking our financial laws, see Trump fraud conviction, not paying contractors, and multiple bankruptcies and Elon’s infamous “funding secured” tweet and ongoing litigation about failing to disclose his purchase of Twitter on time for proof of this.

All this and we act like the White House and power of POTUS isn't up for sale to the highest bidders?

But what I will never ever fully understand is what drives billionaires, and thanks to his incredibly shaky SPAC now turned stock DJT, Trump actually is one, to continuously push past laws while hurting middle and lower class working people, in order to enrich themselves further.

Now we want the Ukraine’s minerals and to take all of Greenland.

I know my lefty people will point to megalomania and endless greed as the answers, and that the MAGA others will say it is fine for people to seek as much as they can no matter what.

BUT for Toasty’s sake when is enough enough?

Being pro-free trade makes you a leftie now?

These are mirror tariffs and allow for free trade should the other nation wish to drop all tariffs. You do understand that?

Does Mexico tariffs US cars? does Canada tariffs US oil?

 

[Whippy McGee]

Canada tariffs cars, manufacturing, and agriculture in big ways.

Mexico tariffs agriculture, Steel / Aluminum, Consumer goods, and some manufactured goods.

Why are you against the U.S. evening the playing field to promote fair trade that can become free trade?

 

[Rod1]

Canada tariffs cars, manufacturing

From America? source

Mexico tariffs agriculture, Steel / Aluminum, Consumer goods, and some manufactured goods.

Again, source of said tariffs.

"Free trade is when Trump does stuff"

Cultist gonna cult.

Fuck me. The private investment group that took over the contract of our shop are already bitching about costs and billing. Great.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Trump is a spectacle indeed. I'll give that to him. I don't think he know what he's doing, but if most people believe he knows what he's doing than that's all that matters.

It took me entirely too long thinking where the hell the Scottish thing came from.

Over 3 weeks of the forum explains how Tarriffs work even some of the most dense posters eventually understood it by a couple weeks of everyday explaining.

The better question is why are you so slow ? Tarriffs aren’t an even playing field thing they are not paid by foreign countries that is another Trump lie , the consumer pays and it’s a getting into a market trading thing and has little to do with making a country money unless the federal reserve gets involved and it’s just more additional debt losing money and hurting the stock market .

(the tariffs Trump now proposes will apply to more than eight times more imports than his last round (about $3.1 trillion based on 2023 data), giving them a much bigger impact on prices while reducing opportunities for switching toward non-tariffed substitutes. Moreover, the US inflation rate did rise in 2018, leading the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. Careful product-level studies of the Trump tariffs—such as those here, here, and here—indicate that not only did the prices of tariffed goods rise, they rose by the full amount of the tariffs. In other words, American households and businesses bore the entire burden; none was shifted to foreign exporters. )

When you higher the tarriff prices you also get lesser demand on your exports, his ideas in a nutshell are terrible and he’s slashed if not cut import Biden policies for external growth anyway solely relying on old oil , wood and gas as the same old resource and thinks we can maintain a low cost living,all those things cost more to do them in our own country meanwhile the clown continues to make enemies, Vance was just barred from several Greenland places when his wife announced he’d be joining her ,that’s insane and shows how much these guys are liked .

Vance is a brave man bc he’s attached with Trump if he does visit there he’s going to be very limited to where he stays . Lol




We have lower Tarriffs because we have trade agreements with other countries, it’s not a competition , not sure how you don’t understand that .

Part of me wants to believe he's just trolling for goofs. But it's unreal with him, the stupidity on so many levels is impressive

Most people being who exactly ? Can’t be the paid actors on Fox News and their affiliates.Can’t be anyone on his staff ( they’re petrified of him ) nor the people that lobby for him in Congress ?

MOST people don’t think he knows what he’s doing actually that have no connection to him , I’d be hard pressed to find even one bc I haven’t ? Lol

Literally every financial expert including Warren Buffet who is probably the smartest businessman is warning Trump about his very bad ideas …….

I'm not a fan of his and I think he's a disaster. I just believe there is so much sheep out there willing to buy his bullshit for whatever reasons. Blindly just following the fool.

You're ignorant on Canadian and Mexican tariffs and you want to be critical?

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Compared to Mexico it may not be a problem but what do you think is going to happen when the traffickers realize the southern border is a lot more secure than the northern border. Not to mention whatever is coming TO canada from across the border.

What the Inuit are smuggling into Canada?

 

[LangfordBarrow]

So much more could of been done if Trump just turned down the tariff volume. He only knows how to escalate sadly. I glad it's Trump rather thsn Harris/Biden but wtf Trump in position to do important shit but keeps shooting self in foot an hand cuffing self. Just think a minute before you comment ffs

It's called narcissism...

In a Victory for Autoworkers, Auto Tariffs Mark the Beginning of the End of NAFTA and the “Free Trade” Disaster - UAW | United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America

Days after Volkswagen, the #2 automaker in the world, announced making $20.6 billion in profit in 2024, a new UAW survey of VW workers in Chattanooga reveals the devastating financial toll of VW’s substandard U.S. health care offerings.

The UAW is behind Trump... that's a huge shift.

So Unions are good now?
