Trump wants 50% tariffs

[tumorboy]

That’s what I was thinking. I don’t care one bit about dairy tariffs at the moment.

It has to be about annexation. Only thing that makes sense.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

The tariffs will work, nobody will be able to afford illegal drugs.

If there's one thing we know about drug addicts, it's that poverty and homelessness always prevents them from getting their fix.

 

[sober_teacher]

The tariffs are really tax cuts, you stupid libs.

These are collectively two of the stupidest responses I’ve ever seen.

 

[MuscoHawk]

What cards? What are we even trying to accomplish here? Do you honestly think it’s even possible Canada would become the 51st state?

Why does he have such a boner for making Canada a state? That’s a lot of new BLUE voters. They would swing a lot of elections.

 

[MichaelKeller99]

So you support this?

No. At one point in our nation (pre income tax) tariffs made sense. That time is past.

 

[Finance85]

The tariff threats are insane.

Trump should have taken the small negotiating win that he had in the first Tariff showdown.

Now he's like a 2 year old with with a new toy. Smashing into everything.

He'll eventually give into pressure from big business, but how much damage will already be done? And what will be gained?

Trade partners are going to be gun shy for awhile and the only thing we gained was the initial boarder concessions (no idea how long that lasts either).

In the era of bloated government I don’t see why any country would want to grow.

 

[millah_22]

I think he must believe the path to a positive presidential legacy is territory expansion. Like Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase.

This is the belief of an authoritarian.

Everyone just needs to get a milk cow. The chickens can keep it company.

Also a natural gas well.

Pretty sure if Canada gets “annexed” he won’t be worrying about any elections…

Putin is behind this

BINGO

 

[Tiny Hands Trump]

This. Trump did nothing to affect the economy - until he bungled Covid. He rode the already rising indicators and did not one thing to change their trajectories.

He gave it a bit more juice with unnecessary tax cuts, but that was it. Meanwhile, he exploded the deficit.

3. Because no previous politician was willing to rock the boat,.. Much easier to just give in to unfair trade practices imposed on the US...

Are you still on the Trump wagon? Holy shit, I'd thought you'd wise up by now. What could the man do to possibly lose your support at this point? There has been a myriad of illogical moves the asshole has taken and all of them have made the US weaker.

 

[RollingBallofButcherKnives]

What would it take for the other branches of govt to read the writing on the wall and try to put a stop to this? If they are seeing this annex Canada, authoritarian POS for what heis or at least what he could be doing, are they going to stop it or be complicit? Surely the Dems had a backup plan? Let it burn and take over the cleanup?

 

[Mister_Man]

Good lord

 

[FAUlty Gator]

Remember when Spicey kept trying to convince everyone he had a bigger crowd than Obama, while every bit of proof and reality said different? That's where they are with all of this tariff/ stock market denial.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

 

[TylerJ23]

Why not 100?
What a cuck.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

I wonder how badly the Trump tariffs are going to affect his own garbage products.

 

[SI_NYC]

He’s a terrible negotiator. His only strategy is to bully and wear out smaller opponents with fewer financial resources.

It’s like he’s reverting to the days of beating up on small contractors.

That's all he knows.

 

[tarheelbybirth]

He gave it a bit more juice with unnecessary tax cuts, but that was it. Meanwhile, he exploded the deficit.

Maybe but the vast majority of the cuts went to the very top who are far less likely to spend it on consumer goods which WOULD give a bump. I suspect the vast majority of that money went to make more money.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

So the USMCA was/is not the "fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law"? Is that what you're telling us?

the level of denial a magat has to have is truly incredible.

 

[tarheelbybirth]

Hell, Trump can say one thing in the morning and directly contradict it that afternoon and they just nod along.

It's Biden's fault!!!

 

[jneffer]

march 2021, inflation starts rising: THIS IS THE CURRENT PRESIDENT'S FAULT!

march 2025, stock market tanking: THIS CAN'T BE THE CURRENT PRESIDENT'S FAULT, IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THE LAST GUY!

Trump did bully the Federal Reserve to keep interest rate down. The interest rates should have been raised during Obama's second term.

Wait until they shut off the Natural Gas that supplies much of the Chicago area.

Supplies Milwaukee area as well great

Think about 60% of corporate tax cut went to stock buy backs.

Finally — a president looking out for working class, every day Americans. This is refreshing to see.

the good news is that he's taken just about every possible position on electric cars, so pick whichever one you like the best and then ignore all his other comments

8% of Minnesota is 464,000 people (so, say a city the size of Madison)
6% of Michigan is 608,000 people (so, say a city the size of Oklahoma City)
1% of New York is 208,000 people (so, say a city the size of Salt Lake City)

I'm sure no one would even notice!
