Economy Trump's April 2nd Tariffs

[MMA IAN]

Oh shut up. You're some freakin' dumb noob who was asking how to trade stocks on Sherdog less than 2 years ago.

Man for someone on an MMA forum we see people tear shit up all the time as a noob. Maybe he's an idiot. Maybe he's a genius. Maybe he's an idiot savant.

"Men can get pregnant"

vs

"Tariffs will make everyone rich"

What do you think is the most stupid ass dangerous belief?

Well men will never get pregnant, and tariffs have apparently made several people in this thread alone rich, look @44nutman (allegedly) so atm tariffs will make people rich is less stupid

Does it really bother you so much that people with non-debilitating mental illnesses exist and get employed?

What's your final solution for these people if you're so upset they're getting jobs?

People with debilitating mental illnesses can be employed too, normally as internet moderators who like posts like yours.

I wish I could be as confident as you. If anything this week has reminded me that there are plenty of people that will vote against their own best interests. Never underestimate how dumb someone can be.

I'm sure the balanced, reasonable, non hysterical approach to this alongside the Tesla vandalism will persuade republican/undecided/centrist voters to vote democrat. Surely, otherwise they're all fascist racist nazi transphobes

America should dissolve its government, surrender to China and Xi’s glorious rule, and meekly request to be a part of the belt and road initiative

going back to work at age 90 just to survive because some idiot destroyed your retirement funds overnight has never felt so liberating.

If you're 90 and need to go back to work that sucks but you did something wrong.

I saw some comments online from incels that said they are happy about the reset because it means women will no longer be in a position to be so picky about who they sleep with

That is messed up, where are you hanging out?
 

Let's lighten the mood a bit

Remind me who won that?

Instead of the adding a tariffs line item to the bill, they should put a picture of trump pointing to the extra charge with the words "I did that"

That would be great, because it would remind me it wasn't made in America. In the same way I'm happy to pay more to buy Australian, I'd be happy to pay more to buy American. Sick of supporting overseas child labour sweat shops and export of labour.


Liberals in this thread

BUT my $500 clothing bill made in a sweatshop for $12 by children is gonna cost an extra $44 damn Trump!!

Fuck you child labour enthusiasts.

Can anyone answer this question for me.
I agree with certain Tariffs like the ones on imported cars because there is a USA car industry but the ones on imports from 3rd world countries like for things like clothes manufacturing seems weird; there isnt a massive USA clothes manufacturing industry. I dont see who this is 'protecting' in the USA....?

Nobody will be able to answer you. None of this makes any sense beyond Trump hoping to try and get China to concede to US demands by any means possible. Trump is likely wanting to get immediate results before it goes any further where reality will kick in for the average consumer

@lsa is happy about all of this.

I just want to see the world burn.

Do you know what everyone means?

Trump is a fucking moron. One man shouldn't be able to have this much pull. The GOP are pussies.

It is more likely everyone gets rich, than a man gets pregnant.

exactly. all those people who had their 401k gutted overnight because of donald trump need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. maybe one day somebody in their family will give them hundreds of millions of dollars so that they will become rich like elon and daddy trump, but until then nobody cares about them and they will remain a peasant just like you and they should go back to the coal mines if they can no longer afford to retire because of the mandarin messiah's actions.

that $500 clothing bill is gonna wind up costing you over $1000 if it's coming from china. what's it at now? over 100%? oh you sweet summer child, companies are not in business just to lose money. they're not going to be soaking up the costs of the tarriffs just to appease your dearly beloved fraudster and rapist. they are going to be passing it on to you.

Once something gets stuck in Trump’s brain it’s basically GG. There’s no getting it out.

That's not what I said champ.

they will remain a peasant just like you and they should go back to the mines.

If you want to make 250k a year like I did in my 20s the mines are a great option.

Disclaimer: mines may not be a great option if you live in a 3rd world country.

Disclaimer: mines may not be a great option of you live in a 3rd world country.

of you? mines may not always be a great option but going to school never hurts.

so. much. winning.

people are going to die over this. i'm sure that the self proclaimed pro-life party will be outraged.

I have a trade deficit with the Chinese restaurant near my office. I buy their food but they do not buy anything from me. I’ve decided therefore to voluntarily pay them higher prices because it will encourage me to cook my own Chinese food.
