OT: Tariff Economics Discussion

For those that say "he ran on exactly what he said he was going to do" which was raise tariffs. I will say you are exactly right. Where I went wrong is that I assumed he would repeat his strategy and policies from his first term which were much more muted and focused. This go around is not even close to the same and one I would NEVER have voted for. Shame on me, I will own it, I made a mistake.
 
This is what winning looks like .



#BREAKING: General Motors will be sharply INCREASING vehicle production in Indiana following Trump’s tariffs, per Reuters

Blue collar Americans are WINNING! 🔥

GM is also planning on adding more overtime days to the schedule, and bringing in hundreds of new workers to quickly ramp up production, the plant director told employees.

I see that same sentiment from analysts, CEOs and Big tech all saying the same thing - they knew he'd impose tariffs but NOBODY envisioned this. We forgive you.

Should last until the recession hits main street and no one has money to buy cars.

Production requires Sales. Sales require Buyers. Buyers require Money.

create a national crisis and declare marshal law?

That's my fear. It's hard not to imagine his comments about a third term were floated intentionally to see if there was pushback.


There was sadly way,way less than there should have been.
 
create a national crisis and declare marshal law?
That's my suspicion as well. There have been huge marches planned for a few weeks all over the US for this weekend, which will probably grow exponentially after the last couple of days. I fear that if the crowds get too large in the future he will clamp down on them and declare martial law in order to silence the last bastion of opposition. He's already threatening universities and law firms into compliance but if the people rise up like they did in Germany or Georgia, I could see him doing something drastic to make us afraid to rise up against him again.
 
I thought democrats wanted to help the lower class?

Democrats want to give them handouts, Trump wants to give them jobs.
And how will raising prices on all imported goods help him do that after we have mass layoffs and businesses close because they can't afford to stay open anymore? Or are you talking about all the field jobs that will now be available after he deports all the farm workers?
 
JP Morgan analysts updated their projections for a recession to 100%

Well done all you mouth breathing morons who whined about the measures Biden took to clean up Trump's mess while navigating a minefield and ushering in economic recovery that was more robust than any industrialized nation. Just the dumbest ****ing people on the planet all concentrated in this country right now.

The skill to use scare tactics about trans into crashing the economy in two days is pretty impressive.
 
Tariffs are the leverage to the problem

Those with weak stomaches and no gonads will fold and write the sky is falling everywhere they can log in

Me I am loving the DRAMA and WINNING because Trump id dead on right and will win in the end because he is right

The US has been the world’s bitch too long
All those countries living on a parasitic relationship with the US need to step up and get on the program

The whimps in the US who are scared to stand up and make America first need to pick a new country to move to
This is hilariously dumb. The rest of the world will collaborate with each other and continue. The US will be left on its own reeling in a recession. These tariffs will completely destroy the US economy if they continue
 
That tracks. Retired boomer who enjoyed the best payrate ratio compared to purchasing power, complains in big fonts as if that underlines his rambling. To people who will be buried under the burden that these policies will enforce. Guy bought his first house for 50k, and we can't buy homes right now for less that 400k. Boomers completely used up their boom, and then just crap on everyone and everything that calls into question their world views.
 
Someone should see how’s many politicians have been executing short sales this week? No way this was not intentional.

All boomers do not agree with this. Nixon opened the hen house
A long time ago a lib boomer told me during the Dubya administration that dems would probably crawl over glass to get the policies of Nixon.
I said similar, he alowed the Chinese to steal our success and it's harm would be felt for generations. Boomers profited bigly selling our manufacturing to the Chinese. Same doofuses want to put US in pain to fix the problem they created. It's infuriating

He sure did. While allowing corporations to export their workforce to China. All of which seem to be huge republican issues today.

As a non Trump voter I'm just hoping someone gives him some concession so he can feel better and stop the nonsense. Let the idiots have their day.

You loony libs honestly do not understand real world economics.

This is hilarious and sad at the same time to read. You guys are acting like your nuts never dropped.
 
Everyone on here whining are overreacting on an epic level to what happened 2 DAYS AGO. GEEZ!!!
 
😆 🤣 😂

You guys including a few conservatives are weak kneed. Thank goodness we have President Trump running the show.

 
Great news but please don't let reality get in your way from crying like babies.

PS these are not fake jobs either.
