Prediction of effect of 25% Canada and Mexico?
You MAGAs are on board I assume.
Both are just new terms for communist!
@AOG
Explain to me how Trump “bluffed” by delaying tariffs on Mexico and seeing if they follow through on their commitment to troops at the US border.
Maybe Mr. Trump will claim victory and pull back if he wins some token concessions.
I'm a Keynesian, and I support the tariffs. The "free trade" agreements help the one or two percent and hurt many every day Americans. Most of the same people and media shrieked at the tariffs in 2018 and 2019, and inflation was under two percent in 2021. Imagine that. It's a hard nosed negotiating tactic. Nothing more. Even though I'm dumb, I managed to get over a 3.0 in econ classes decades ago.
The same gals crying about threats of tariffs are now laughing that there are no tariffs for at least a month, depending on Mexico’s holding to their commitment.
You are not a serious woman, Margaret.
Still no original thoughts from our resident genius.
I'm a hayek kinda guy and I'm for tariffs.
Does anyone think he knows how stupid he sounds on this topic? Its like he only read a CNN post that didn't detail anything that really happened. Someone who has no idea what it is to run a business or handle a negotiation.
You forgot to mention that the tariffs are on a one-month hold for a wait and see. Seems like something a leftist would do.
How little some of these ShitLibs know about how things happen is a bit jarring.
It’s like they’ve never worked in any real capacity at even a medium-level job in the business world.
If progressives knew anything about business or economics they wouldn't be progressives.
Assuming that Jeff A knows what he is talking about here are some Canadian tariffs. Important to note that their TV tariff is 45% obviously to protect that all important Canadian TV manufacturing dynamo. Cars at 25% pisses me off. So, they build all kinds of cars in Canada and export them to the US duty free but if we send some Kentucky built cars to Ontario there is a 25% tariff? I'll have Ern explain that to me.
Trump should match these and post the comparables.
Shouldn't those tariffs destroy Canada?
The opposition is full of reactionary people who are career politicians/attorneys leading and a dimwitted base, as we see on this board.
H’s reliance on partisan “experts” appointed by partisan know-nothings was the best tell on who the Left is today that I’ve seen in awhile.
Trump weenied out of both tariffs.
Nobody will take this shit seriously now
Lol. Sure.gif
How he got both countries to do shit
Now he's stopping?
This was supposed to make us as wealthy as we were in 1873.
Imagine thinking Trump wussed out.
1873ish to 1913 we ran the government exclusively in tariffs. The country was loaded with money. Large excess cash. That was used by Teddy R. To buy the land for all this national parks like Yellowstone and establish them. Just one example. That's why they're putting Mt. McKinleys name back in place too. President McKinley has a lot to do with all that. Trump just called for eliminating the income tax.
Teddy bought Yellowstone with tariffs, donchaknow
Yes, he got some concessions. Good trick. But who is really going to take this seriously next time? People will just laugh it off "he's not going to really follow through."
Yes, 100 years ago is a great idea. Time to bring back Gil Dobie and his 5 plays and leather helmet trick. It worked then, why not now?
The point of the tariff threat was to get concessions. It wasn’t the tariffs themselves. Try and keep up.
Lincoln High never had a chance.
The left celebrating Trump only securing the border.
Nothing Biden could do without a Bill.
Hilarious to watch.
