Everyone is currently scrambling to showcase why they are the one who truly understands tarrifs, a word they probably first heard like 2 months ago. You see, tarrifs are very bad things that only hurt americans, and trump is either too stupid/evil to understand that, unlike me who is obviously very smart/good.

TLDR: They're a negotiating tactic, and they seem to be working if colombia is any indication.

Tariffs are well understood.

Colombia was a security bluff and not an economic bluff.

Tariffs have failed in the past soy bean farms... &

We don't have the infrastructure to make this change and no one is going to work these jobs that pay too little, while the products still don't compete.

1. those jobs pay too little because you let slaves do them.
2. min wage would be equal with inflation if you didn't ship jobs overseas.

It. is. racist. to. say. white. people. wont. do. the. jobs. you. make. 3rd. world. people. do.

I don't care about how divine you think we are, we are not above anyone else. And we will do the same jobs anyone else will.

You just have to start paying a livable wage, and stop trying to convince me the only way to have affordable prices is slavery.
1. Like private prisons?

2. You aren't being practical; you are still anything to own the libs mode. We are too far past this point and no planning has been done to bring back those jobs that no one wants. The orange man just wants these Tariffs to be seen as a collection from foreign countries when it is a collection from us taxpayers. His goal is tax relief for himself and his rich friends.

Yeah he wants to make more money by becoming president and thus making far less money than he was before running for president, twice. That dog doesn't really hunt anymore man. It's right up there with elon musk being just a greedy rich guy even though he intentionally lost like 30bil buying twitter, purely out of principle.

It's only a collection from us taxpayers if we buy the treason-goods.

he will not give them 1/10th what they got during the biden administration.

They got literally 4 trillion. + a little 20 billion bonus bailout for those that the 250k insurance on their Ai investments would have lost because they SUCKED at investing.

If there were NO taxes, the billionares would get less from the goverment than they got from the biden admin.

That must be why the standard deduction was doubled and the SALT deduction was capped.
