OT: Tariff Economics Discussion

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
 

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."

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.
You were correct to be skeptical

 


🇺🇸 SMALL BIZ LOVES THE PAIN—TRUMP TARIFFS GET A THUMBS-UP FROM MAIN STREET

A flash poll of 50,000 small business owners shows they’re not flinching.

Nearly 70% believe Trump’s tariffs will strengthen the U.S. economy, and 77% say business will grow in 2025—even as 29% admit costs are rising. ‘

That’s not fear—it’s fuel.

Main Street isn’t just surviving the economic turbulence—they’re backing Trump’s trade war like it’s a loyalty badge.

For them, “near-term pain” is the price of long-term independence.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday found Trump’s approval on the economy at 37 percent, the lowest rating of either of his terms. The poll came after significant economic turmoil, particularly in the stock and bond markets, before Trump announced a 90-day pause on what would have been his steepest tariffs yet.

Several polls have shown that Trump’s trade policy and use of tariffs is unpopular outside of his Republican base and many expect they could harm the economy.

Any current minor dip doesn't matter at all and isn't rooted in reality. Inflation is down and that's a fact. The drop in the market and the onslaught of negative media will not continue to hold opinions down when results come in showing improvements. Trump has a 4 year term and will get it done.

The economic damage, as defined by GDP, is multiples of the tariff revenue. It continues to be obvious that you do not understand economics and are removed from actual data and analysis. You’re making a fool of yourself to people who have to keep up with real data.
What economic damage? Furthermore this graph just very specifically refers to tatiff revenue.
 
My theory is that not even the Dems knew how bad USAID was


I will disagree on one point. I strongly feel that the dem leadership and upper echelon of the party knew exactly what the usaid scam was as they were receiving the proceeds. Last part will have to be proven of course. More than a few repubs in on it too.

Agreed. I meant the democratic constituents. I don't think were aware of all the waste.

While a lot of that money goes to line their pockets, the dem taxpayer is on the hook just like the rest of us.
