Can Someone on the Right Explain the Best Case Scenario for Trumps Tariff Plan?

How is making it harder to purchase from outside the country going to shut down small businesses in the US?
A small % of goods we consume are actually made in the US. We can’t just flip a switch and replace China manufacturing here in the States, not to mention Americans don’t want to pay the higher costs of American made products. Like I said in another thread, I’d love to carry more American made products in my stores. My experience is that Americans balk at the higher prices because the higher cost to make theses items is considerable.
 
Perhaps “wholesale” prices? Those products come from some where…how many shoes are made in China?
LOL. That’s the point, we want things to be made in america. Great more American jobs.
Poor Timmy won’t be able to buy cheap shit from china anymore and make a huge profit on it when he sells it. Poor guy.

Ed say that but it is just not the truth. Americans are cheap and shirt-sighted when it comes to spending their money. They often spend against their best interests. Remember what happened to prices and supply chains post Covid? We had inflation! You wouldn’t have had those issues to the extent we did, if we would have had domestic production and supply chains in place. Slightly higher prices is often the price consumers pay for domestic tranquility. When you rely on “others” for your supplies, you are placing your well-being in the hands of folks who don’t share your concerns and values.

According to Trump, he intends to put tariffs on Chinese goods if they don’t play fair.

According to CNN, Trump’s tariffs will be between 60% and 60,000%.
No. According to Trump he is going to put a 60% tariff on 100% of Chinese goods. That is literally what he said on many occasions.

So either he fails to meet his campaign promise and we have more reasonable tariffs, or he achieves it and wrecks the economy.
 
Nope. Cost goes up with the higher cost to manufacture.

I’d love to sell more stuff made in the USA at our stores. The truth is most Americans don’t want to pay the higher price associated with products made here.
Bingo. You get it.

Whether it’s better or not, tariffs and American made=higher prices.
 
Imagine the shame of being a Harris supporer for real though 😅 worst vp and worst presidential candidate in us history. That's almost impressive..
I’m proud to have voted for her - zero shame and zero f*cks given for anyone’s opinion to the contrary. 20 years from now support for Trump will be like support for the Iraq war:
  • No one will admit voting for him
  • Everyone will say he was the worst president in modern memory
  • There will be lines of people at his gravesite…waiting for their turn to piss on it

ps: my posts in this thread told you what was coming if he followed through on his tariffs.

Biden is already accepted as the worst president in modern history. Jimmy Carter (barely) lived long enough to see his title taken. Trump is on track to being the best president in modern history and you should prepare yourself for 8 years of jd vance when this term is done.
