BREAKING: The Senate just passed our bill to liberate America from Trump’s reckless and inflationary trade war with Canada that only helps fund his billionaire tax cuts while making families pick up the tab.

Even the ass kissers on financial news are shytting on trump. They just wanted him to deregulate so their companies can exploit workers and the environment, not all this
Trump doesn't understand how powerful China is, we may be in situation where the world throws us the finger and opens the door to China for tech goods and services.
I THINK, in theory, it should make costlier USA made goods (how few they are) more appealing. They also incentivise foreign companies like car companies, to build factories here to make the cars they sell to Americans to get around some or all of the tariff, which means American jobs and less American money leaving ther country.
I'm no economist, but I don't see a problem with reciprocal tariffs, it appears fair, I just have no faith in the administration to pull it off without fukking everything up. Of course, if they didn't allow outsourcing and other labor practices that only help the oligarchs, we wouldn't need this...
Some of these tariffs on poor countries are so fukking, unbelievably stupid. Like ofcourse we buy more from Vietnam, their per capita GDP is $5000. Imagine thinking that you can tariff Vietnam in to building textile factories for shoes and clothes in the U.S. who’s going to work those labor intensive, low skill jobs?

There is no such thing as an “American made” car. Not even the ones that are assembled here.

Where’s Russian, NK, Iran, Hungary and Belarus on that list?
This is the silver lining. Ive been telling folks, especially those talking about protests dont work, to get ready to protest because we are all gonna be out there soon. His policies are not slow trickle. They just havent hit enough people yet. When rising prices hit, thats gonna be the first shock. Then any kind of government assistance going will be the next straw. food shortages will be when people are ready to tool up. There is going to be a confluence of bullshyt hitting us shortly that will make even the biggest naysayer support protests.

Developing countries use tariffs to protect their fledging manufacturing base. There’s no incentive for America to levy the type of tariffs developing countries use.I THINK, in theory, it should make costlier USA made goods (how few they are) more appealing.

Can you imagine a scenario where it would be cheaper to hire a redneck in Kentucky to manufacture clothing for 25 an hour plus benefits vs hire someone in bangaldesh that gets paid $25 a week?
There isn’t any amount of tariffs that will make up the difference
groove line...Trump has already managed to make people look back fondly on the Presidency of George W. Bush. Now Agent Orange has his sights set on the legacy of Herbert Hoover.
The WH press secretary said "If you make your product in America, you will pay no tariffs" 
WHY the fukk would you put tariffs on domestic products in the first place
that's not a taffif, that's a tax.
And based on that logic, they want to force foreign companies, to literally fund the working class by moving their factories to America.

factories won't pop up next week paying Americans a living wage or anything close to it. They are in love with cheap labor and profit.
This man at heart is just playing the market for a small circle of he and his friends. Aside from acting like royalty who controls the world and has the attention of the planet.
