Tariffs

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

What do you think happens if foreign adversaries are shown that American policy and stability is only as consistent as the length of a single president's term?

I mean, I think we know. Crimea, Ukraine, Afghanistan all happened under Obama and Biden.

Oh, don't forget the attacks on Israel.

I suppose you're confused about how foreign policy works, reinforced by your thoughts on Trump giving Afghanistan to terrorists. What do you think happens if foreign adversaries are shown that American policy and stability is only as consistent as the length of a single president's term? Do you think the loss of face caused by the immediate reversal of US policy the moment Trump was deposed would be helpful to longterm negotiations? Nah. Trump's threatening to double down on a detrimental position he took despite the countless warnings of economists about the results, and only you MAGA assholes and Trump himself believe it's a smart move

Look how mad and stupid and wrong you are.

The 2018 tariffs were targeted to importers of specific products or from specific countries. Trump's new tariff proposal is global, applying to every import from every country.

Ok. Publicly confess that Trump’s 2018 tariffs on China was a good thing that was continued & expanded by the Biden administration. Tariffs are an economic tool with positive & negative consequences which has its uses.

Once you do that and we establish a baseline, we can discuss the impacts of proposing (a negotiation point) of a 10% global tariff since we are by far the largest importer in the world.

I think a lot of people have forgotten the purpose of tariffs. Yes, the cost is passed on to consumers. It is designed to make foreign made stuff more expensive so that consumers favor domestic made products and support domestic companies.

Economic populism drives inflation, reduces product diversity, promotes retaliatory tariffs and trade-wars; all of which fucks domestic consumers. Increasing corporate profits hardly seems like a worthy outcome.

I think a lot of people have forgotten that 100's of thousands of Americans gave their lives to end the Democrat institution of slavery and continuing to import goods made by slaves is a slap in the face of the lives sacrificed to end the scourge of slavery in this country.

Democrat policies do not function without Democrats stealing another humans labors and freedoms.

And here's Seran to confirm my point.

Seran has been saving up his EBT pennies so he may one day afford that rainbow vibrator from wish.com. Trump is threatening his pursuit of happiness.
