It's really hard to fathom the level of retardation that is required to vote someone in based on reacting to high (but falling) inflation, and then supporting this idiot as he goes about implementing

It isn't difficult; they are just that stupid...

Also, can we just laugh at the absurdity of Trump claiming to be some master deal-maker and then revealing that the primary tool in his tool-kit is threatening his allies with economic violence? Are w

So who bought the dip? Lol

 

I think some of us said tariffs will probably be used as leveraging chips. You don't have to agree but once truth slaps you in the face, perhaps a bit of humility should follow... 

 

And I wasn't completely sold on how the tariffs were implemented. Nor was I pro-tariffs as a whole. I just figured something had to be done about China and at least this president has the balls to do something. 

 

There's still time to figure it these moves will be good or bad long term. Maybe we should wait until it bears fruit.

Trump has backed down to where he started with China.  Feel free to list the specifics of what he accomplished.

Did he get anything from the countries he's negotiated with?  

 

Can you at least admit he got a better deal from the UK?

What better deal did we get? He lowered tariffs so wealthy Americans can buy luxury British cars cheaper. What else did he accomplish?

No and no you sucker

 

Trump has embarrassed himself, or lied his ass off for some unknown reason. 

 

We were getting revenue from the tariffs that would replace income tax and we were bring manufacturing jobs back with tariffs. oops

 

I'd guess before China is done with Trump the tariffs on them will be down to 0

So you didn't like tariffs when they were in place and you don't like now when it's lowered.  Something tells me you just hate everything Trump does regardless of what it is.

It's interesting that it is the rich that ends up paying the taxes on imported luxury goods when tariffs are in place.  

I had rich acquaintances that would take every chance they can to flaunt their imported luxury goods.  To them, separating themselves from normies to make themselves appear more exceptional is the name of the game.  And some of them weren't that objectively rich.  Appearances are more important than sustainability to some of them. 

Anyway, I wouldn't shed a tear if some of these people had to pay even more of a premium (tax/tariff) for the facade of superiority.  Does that make me a socialist?

You're either totally clueless or you're just going to suck off Trump no matter how stupid he looks with these tariffs.
