OT: Tariff Economics Discussion

[PalmettoTiger1]

I don't even think it has started yet.

I understand you don't like his tactics, and that is fair criticism. But I admire the end goal of trying to fix our nations finances. No one has been able to get anything done on the subject, despite it being desperately needed (see inflation).

I'll reserve judgement until we can see the results. So, i'll judge him in 3-4 years.

I am still with TRUMP 100%

He is going to win and win bigly in the end. He is playing chicken and the chickens on here flinch at every problem

Hold the rudder steady, press on the gas and let it fly

I am with Trump without fear YAHOO

Translation: We screwed up, China kicked our ass. We underestimated their willingness and our consumers unwillingness to raise prices.

You really want us folks to think you know something

Trump is in the calibration mode

In the end the UNITED STATES will win

Trump is NOT ABOUTB TRUMP

He is fighting for America

He will get credit from me if he does that but I'm skeptical.

It's getting old watching him destroy hundreds of thousands of lives for his tax cuts - he needs to take some of that medicine too.

Trump shifts tone after meeting with CEOs​

"Trump’s notable shift in tone toward Powell and China came a day after he met privately in the Oval Office with chief executives of four major US retail companies who conveyed concerns about rising economic fallout from Trump’s tariff policy and the uncertainty it has created for financial markets.

The CEOs of Walmart, Target, Home Depot and Lowe’s, all of whom delivered a blunt message about interruptions in the supply chain and its effects on consumers, were invited to the White House as part of an ongoing internal campaign to make the case to Trump about the real-world impact of his policies, administration officials said.

Trump’s tariffs have placed significant pressure on the retail sector. The business leaders warned that store shelves across America could “soon be empty,” two people familiar with the meeting said, as they presented a dire economic picture that could come into sharper view within weeks.

For weeks, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and other senior advisers have been fielding alarming calls from business leaders about the fallout from Trump’s tariff policies and his ongoing threats to fire the chairman of the Federal Reserve. Taken together, the president’s words have rattled markets and shaken confidence in the administration’s stewardship of the economy."
