They are bragging they will raise taxes on American consumers and people still cheer.

Jesus Christ dude... How do you get through the day?

Really well. Do you have anything on the actual topic? Clown.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Yeah, its almost like Republicans calling everyone a socialist/communist/marxist was total BS and most left wingers in America support free trade.

Or they would cheer it if bernie did it and ridicule it if Trump does. Flip it around for trumpers.

I'm not going to read 10 pages

I just found out that other countries put tariffs on us? How long have they put tariffs on American exports?

For a very long time

Look at all the Left Cult screaming about Trump evening the playing field for the American worker and companies.

"This thread" was a decent qualifier.

Can you believe people are actually believing this?! People with an once of sanity I mean. It doesn't mean much to me other than my Amazon purchases taking a hike but a truck driver musician my husband's friends with is already dealing with these tariffs being he drives vehicle parts. None of the manufacturers are going to swallow the 25% so all of it is going to be added on the cost to us as consumers.

Australia has long had a trade deficit with the United States and a free trade agreement for 99.9% of all goods exchanged. He's ignorant.

We have also followed the stupid cunts into every pointless war for the last 70 years.
The only positive I can find is that Trump has pretty much locked in a Labor win in the election next month.

Madagascarians are obvious ancient, mortal enemies of the US

who could ever forget the one time during the revolutionary war when paul revere rode his horse through the night to the old north church to signal to everyboody that the madagascarians were coming?

truly a bunch of savages.

but your money being liberated from your wallet will all be worth it so long as we get some mean tweets out of it.

Imagine letting every other country on the planet tariff your goods while not tariffing theirs.

did they, though? for example the EU as far as I can find tariffed US goods on average by 1-3% before Trump's term which was met at a similar 1-3% average by the US, nothing like the 39% figure he justified his 20% tariff with, though EU countries also apply a VAT to both imports and local products
(WTO says 1% for both and grok 2-3%, loathe to use AI but at least it should be fair to the Trump point of view)

It's also going to lead to fewer purchases overall and less demand for drivers. There will be massive job cuts all across the US.

You're like that ICP guy but like "Fucking tariffs, how do they work?"

Being I've only been a citizen for a little over a year I don't like feeling this way having a modicum of sense, I wish I could bury my head in the sand like the morons hanging on his every word.

Why are there people not understanding this? It's very basic economics. Him pretending it'll bring more factories making everything in America is a false economy. It's not going to happen even in his lifetime and in 4 years Dems will get back in and reverse it again.

Have you said thank you once? Yes. Thank you Trump.
