Trump Has a Point About Other Countries’ Tariffs on Our Goods

[scruffyhawk]

No…it IS an attempt to bring more $) into the YS so Don can cut taxes for his millionaire/billionaire friends, first abs foremost….
These are the same companies that Congress encouraged into leaving the US 40 years ago with NAFTA and by refusing to use the tax code to encourage them to maintain a presence in America…

Don't overlook May 2000 when Congress admitted China to the WTO.

Who cares? If the citizens and governments of those nations wish to pay tax on imports than they will.

I on the other hand, do not want to pay an additional tax on imported items.

And that is what destroyed the American worker your party has completely lost over the past 25 years. Congrats on your cheap TV though!

Oh cool. Can you answer my questions in this thread about the economic policy being implemented and how it's going to benefit me?


I thought after the bloodbath this afternoon the thread would get abandoned.

Then don’t purchase such imported items. For instance, there has been a lot of talk about Canadian whiskey/liquor going up, perhaps drink something else. 🥴

With all due respect this is incredibly childish.

You can’t avoid this. Sure, buy your Tennessee whiskey. The problem is a huge number of the inputs required for that come from abroad.

How was it “his” Party? It was corporate America and Congress that sold the middle class down the river.Remembering it was the Junior and Trump tax reforms that absolutely sealed the fate of the middle and lower class and elevated the rich and wealthy to super status.

The goal should be a rules based trading system. You realize how often the US gets screwed by unfair trading practices?

What does this mean? Be specific.

TL;DR Trumanese Summary:

TRUMP’S TAKE: OTHER COUNTRIES RIP US OFF ON TARIFFS—TIME TO FIGHT BACK!

Folks, I’ve been saying it for YEARS—other countries charge ridiculously high tariffs on our goods while we let them walk all over us. Totally unfair! Believe me, I know trade deals better than anyone, and we’ve been getting ripped off.

Japan, Taiwan—okay, they’re not the worst. But some of our biggest trading partners? China, the EU, Mexico? They hit us with tariffs way higher than what we charge them. It’s a joke. My administration is putting America First by finally standing up to these unfair practices. We’re not going to sit back and let other countries take advantage of us anymore.

The U.S. Trade Representative is investigating all of this—looking at countries that make it harder for American businesses to compete. We’re talking about 88% of total trade—huge numbers, folks. Other presidents ignored it, but I FIX things. Fair trade, reciprocal trade, that’s what we’re doing. No more free rides for other countries.

We’re making America STRONG again—tough on trade, tough on tariffs, and great for our economy. Believe me!

How does Twain's tariff hurt us?

I’m not going to bore you, google it.

No, I'm inferring you don't know what you're talking about and have no understanding.

Read the WTO rules dipshit, and the 16 free trade agreements Trump has blown up.’There are 18 chapters covering international trade. He’s blown it all up. Everything from intellectual property to sanitary and pytosanitary barriers. It’s now the wild west. And I’m inferring you’re a fvcking idiot 😉

The Orange Stupid Fvck and his gaggle of morons have trapped us in a sink hole. His moronic fixation on tariffs is a retro catastrophe. The world economy was stable until this fcvkhead started his pretend businessman bullshit. Our economy was purring with inflation easing to acceptable levels.

Let's see where we are in a few weeks when these totally unnecessary tariffs create unmanagable prices and shortages on shelves.

Nothing was to be gained by universal tariffs. Nothing. It was stupid. Only a stupid Orange idiot would have imposed them. What does that say about who supports the stupid Orange idiot.

At least this reply gave me the opportunity to opinionate. I, like most people have taken these times to educate myself on the topic of trade and its nuance. The Orange Turd has ripped off the bandage to expose the wild west. He is so far out of his league and element on international affairs and everything else, it's pathetic.

He's an ameba in a Clorox bottle.
