Those dudes are full of shyt. I don't even know how a normal person with just a minimal understanding of business and finance could even listen to those scumbags. Republican policies creates contraction in the economy and causes recessions.

So they determined tariff levels by dividing the US deficit with a country by the total amount of goods imported from there. No other logic behind the numbers 
You cannot make this up. Literal idiocracy and he does not care one bit about the economic damage it will cause.

William McKinley as well. Trump is doing the same exact shyt as him and the shyt that McKinley did NEVER WORKEDTrump 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 Heard and McDonald Islands are among the dozens of targets of President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs. But they have no exports, because no one lives there.

It’s pure and simple protectionism for his homies - the country be damned.So they determined tariff levels by dividing the US deficit with a country by the total amount of goods imported from there. No other logic behind the numbers

The other thing about Trump is that he is a crook and I wouldn't put it past him to be using these tariffs to cause the market to crash so that he and his criminal buddies can get stocks at a lower value. He can also be using these tariffs as extortion to make foreign countries pay him bribes. It is clear that he doesn't give a shyt about Americans, especially the red State idiots that voted for him, because these tariffs are going to ruin farmers and the small businesses that cater to farmers. He is just a very disgusting person.
Turns out neoliberalism was better than whatever the fukk this is and you leftist whiny Chapo trap house bernie bro fukks didn’t know what you were btiching about all this time.
We have sanctioned Russia since 2014 and NK longer. There is little to no trade with them except for Uranium from Russia. They won’t sanction or tariff that because our nuclear power plants need it and we’ll stop buying it from them in 2028.
Really interested to see what’s the long term plan here. Moving manufacturing back here will take years. If a Democrat wins the White House in 2028 I can see some of these tariffs being rolled back but not all of them. The government needs the money.

Hes completely speculation pilled. He thinks it's a problem that America imports more than it exports.So they determined tariff levels by dividing the US deficit with a country by the total amount of goods imported from there. No other logic behind the numbers

He doesn't care that the imports are regular people wanting products they can afford. Wants America to export more than it imports and that is an arrangement that works for people like him who want to own the means of production.
He believes the economy isn't propped up by consumer demand, but by stock prices. If he tanks the market only the richest companies(which he will expand his stake in) will survive and then in his mind if america becomes an exporter making goods for countries that have lower income inequality and an appetite for affordable products, companies like Amazon will reap the benefits and so will he by extension because the shares will go up in value.
His supporters are alligned with him because they genuinely believe that he is going to make it so employers can hook them up with manufacturing jobs that will pay well. They are seeing an attempt to live up to his promises and that fact alone is enough to give them faith in him. They don't understand that a company wouldn't hire them for good wages because that costs them money. Labor is a cost and the goal of a company is to cut costs and make profit for its shareholders.
He said he'd get rid of the immigrants and he's doing it by basically ignoring the constitution and turning ice into a gestapo. He said he's going to bring manufacturing back but he's doing it by annihilating the buying power of the middle and working class.
