Tariffs against Canada Mexico and China.
- Thread starter bcherod
- Start date
Trump loves tariffs because they're simple enough for him to understand
(not that he still doesn't **** it up)
(not that he still doesn't **** it up)
When the economy tanks right away, he’ll just blame Biden, and his base is so stupid, they will believe him.
This will reduce the price of eggs.
I see it as a negotiating tactic and I doubt it goes through to the degree that some think it might.
Ah it is a 7D chess scenario. Dear leader is so benevolent.
Threats of tariffs are a long time tactic used by many countries.
Billionaires love them too because it's a completely regressive tax. Not only are they getting their national sales tax with them they are getting it at absolutely insane percentages. Could you imagine them trying to sell the idea of a 25% national sales tax? Well, they are getting it and they are getting cheered for doing it.
Well, the good news on that front is that NAFTA ceased being a thing on July 1st, 2020.
That's when Mexico and Canada agreed to the USMCA.
Lord knows I haven't read the thing, but I'm sure there's a provision in it wherein the US can threaten to withdraw and will threaten to withdraw for a different deal, same as was done with NAFTA.
With China looking at Mexico to nearshore product (cars), short circuiting current protectionisms against them, “changes” to the USMCA were already being evaluated.

Big deal. Allowing illegals to cross into the U.S., and China flooding the country with fentanyl is also illegal.
If Joe was doing his job, Trump wouldn't need to impose tariffs.

We'll find out soon enough.
I think some of it is bluster to apply pressure but we'll see.

So with a major tariff announcement on MX and Canada one would think this was major news right? Foxnews has nothing on their main page. The headline is about immigrants killing Americans. Fox business doesn’t even have it as the headline. The headline is about Wal Mart rolling back woke policies.
The GOP propaganda machine is hard at work. The Dems need to stop f*cking around on topics like trans, Bibi’s arrest warrant, etc. They need to stop taking the bait every time Musk says anything. They need to stop over analyzing every crazy appointment. This dilutes the message and most average people won’t care who runs the education department.
If you want to bury Trumpism you need to hammer home, every day all day, what happens to prices and the economy over the next few years. Trump needs to own the consequences here, but the Dems lose their shit over every crazy thing Don does and you will not beat him with a “throw shit at the wall to see what sticks” strategy.
Stop.diluting.the.message. It is all about the economy - focus.

Agree. In many ways this is the unspoken part of the burn it all down strategy. Let them implement their nonsense and calmly but repeatedly predict and warn of the chaos it will cause and how that will show impact almost all areas of their life. This way as it happens it become a casual shrug and “remember, I told you <insert terrible thing> would happen if he was elected. Enjoy project 25.” Owning the libs is not going to be so fun by summer.
Sadly, the D's haven't focused on the economy and border security for years. That is part of the reason they lost the election.
It's interesting to me that conservatives don't seem to think they have media with extremely focused/biased content or that they develop and enforce their world views based on this content. Nope, it's all the liberals being indoctrinated by the evil "mainstream" media. Then they tune in to Faux News (#1 in ratings), OAN, NewsMax and start mouthing all of the words that are said and nodding so they can repeat them the next day.
Headlines right now on Faux News.

Biden and crew f*cked up on the border for 3 years, no doubt there. They were however laser focused on the economy. As to inflation? Trump and Biden both printed gobs of money in covid stimulus (Trump printed more by the way). Biden owns it because Fox is better at propaganda, but they both caused it.
You will see if Trump keeps his tariff promises.
It’s a joke that MAGA is always complaining about MSM. They own a lot of MSM and that’s all they watch/read/listen to.

Trump printed money because the D governors shut down the economy. By the time Biden came stumbling in, the economy was open and additional spending wasn't necessary.
The additional spending led to inflation.

I’m not even going to engage on the first part of your statement, that is just laughable bullshit.
The second is worthy of discussion. I think both of them screwed up by printing too much money, you can’t de-average the effects and put them all on Biden. But I doubt you have ever admitted the orange freak did something wrong, so please carry on like the good little MAGA lemming you are.
Of course, you'd think that way. You're a democrat. If I was you, I'd run away from it too.
We had record low inflation throughout Trump's 4 years in office. Joe and Kamala just kept spending. Even pushing out the additional billions for chips in recent days contributes to inflation. And how about the inflation reduction act, which contributed to inflation.
The last 4 years has been a shit show.
