The irony of MAGA having to support a non-elected foreign national who got here on a green card is pretty hilarious, you have to admit.
Well I guess we are learning a little more now as Mexico has made some concessions and we have paused the tariffs for one month. This is what leadership and strength looks like. Not capitulation and weakness that was prior administration was famous for.
Im trying to give more benefit of the doubt this year.
yeah yeah, I know what you will say, but trying to give it regardless.
It makes sense because now Mexico has agreed to make some requested moves and we have agreed to pause the tariffs one month. Weird.
So, you “expect” to know, for instance, all our military/nuclear secrets too? I’m being somewhat sarcastic here, but we elect our gov’t officials to do a job and I don’t think they need to be micro-managed? You must have more time for on your hands than I do to check on them. 😉
Are you really trying to compare trade policy to nuclear secrets?
You do know he did not write that book, don’t you?
No…it was simply an example (likely a poor one), but there are many, many daily functions/decisions that our federal, state, and local governments do….sounds like that poster (and possibly you) want to know every detail behind such decisions? If so, knock yourself out. I’ve got a life.
Oh sure. That's meaningful and will fix the problem. It certainly is worth all the uncertainty and anxiety it is causing people.
Uncertainty and anxiety are part of life. Our President is taking control and demanding, via action, respect from the rest of the world. And he is getting it.Oh sure. That's meaningful and will fix the problem. It certainly is worth all the uncertainty and anxiety it is causing people.
The point that cant be escaped is that in the prior 4 years Mexico did NONE OF THIS. Are we now going to say that Mexican troops at the border arent going to be effective stemming the drug and immigration tide.
This is 100% a concession and Trumps tactic seems to have worked with incredible speed.
Trump pausing the tariffs after concessions is not losing. You are losing if a threat is made and you give in.
Those that are saying that Trump lost because he paused the tariffs are going to have to explain to me how Mexico doing something we asked for, rather than threatening something we didnt ask for, is a way to win for Mexico. Its Trump hating revisionist history is what that is.
Who cares it will bounce back. I’ve been investing for a long time. I’m not concerned one bit. I just wanna get this fentanyl and drugs under control. Too many lives are wasted.Ya think?
The DOW is down -1% the first 20 mins of the session. The business community is rallying to tariffs!
Glad I don’t by as I would be wondering if I have a job today.
You seriously don’t believe in transparency in the govt? Especially something that affects us all like this.
I mean we're talking about a president that is ranting about making Canada the 51st state via tariffs on social media.
Forgive me if I don't have total confidence in the man.
You seriously need help. You’re nothing but scum.
And you're a f**king nazi, speaking of needing help.
Glad for you… bad for me…being retired I really don’t have your advantage. Lost $$ is pretty much lost $$ for me at this point in the game.
I’m retired now. I took an early out. I’ve made a shit load of money and you have also, or you’ve made some bad choices.
Maybe you chould check the markets. They have rebounded after this news.
I guess that market thinks this is a win for America. Some of you need to get on board.
So we just have to endure 3-5 years until all of these new factories come online, then staff them all with 5% unemployment, while at the same time deporting millions of workers. Sounds easy.
So, you actually believe our government (regardless of Dem’s or R’s in-charge) provide public transparency on all their decisions? 😳
Come on torbee.
The typical quoted oral lethal dose is 2mg. The therapeutic dose is 0.025-0.050mg or 25-50mcg IV for reference.
This 43lbs. That is 9 million lethal doses. Thats significant IMO.
Fentanyl deaths happen every single day. It is adulterated into stuff like fake Adderall that the college kids get from friends. This isnt just mixed in with opioids. You probably know that but not all do.
Wow. That was cool. 😂Anybody die on that job? Didn’t see a whole lot of safety harnesses up on that high pitch. Man that was crazy. I watched the whole thing.👍
On major decisions like this? Absolutely.
Most of us are aware it is because trump is jealous of the way his wife looks at Trudeau.
The details will be shared in two weeks — just like the details of the heathcare plan.
My entire life, tariffs were a major plank of the Democratic Party. Until like 2016 exactly. You’re saying Democrats have been stupid for the 50 years before Trump?

Yes.
You can find posts from me going back years talking about the advantages of free trade. I don’t care if Trump implements them, Biden implements them or Jesus Christ himself implements them…tariffs are a bad idea with very few exceptions.
