Serious tariff question

You aren’t being an rational observer if you thought Trump could, literally, reverse the terrible actions of the Biden admin in 1 day.


Now, he has absolutely immediately taken steps to lower prices, but any rational observer knows it will take time to work its way through the system.

I suppose it’s why Trump is being aggressive early, plenty of time for things to work themselves out before mid-terms.


Think what will happen if CPI is under 3.5% in two years! What will dems campaign on? All the inflation they were worried about won’t have come to fruition. And then they will have to explain to their voters why the boy cried wolf.

Trump derangement syndrome is now expecting Trump to do the things he said he was going to do?

We've already discussed this multiple times and I don't want to derail this thread. No, I didn't believe they would come down day 1, I'm just talking about what his voters expected. I doubt this is what they wanted.

The voters did not expect his policies to be effective in 1 day or one month.

That is not rational behavior

Sigh, ok man, no matter how many times I've explained it, you're only going to hear what you want. Let's move on

I just bought some futures. Market will probably rally by the morning.

They are selling off because of the uncertainty, but by tomorrow morning people will realize this is good for the US. We will see green tomorrow

I hope you are right. If not, I’ll await the explanation.

Hope you make a killing on the futures

It may not be rational. But it is duplicitous to allow one side off the hook of their exact words but hold the other side to a different standard.

This is why all politicians are losers

His voters did not expect that. You somehow interpreted his remarks as such.

These are two countries, not two people who are good friends. Trump had Trudeau down to talk about it. You and I will never agree on Canada, because Canada is ran by the left. They are totally against everything I believe in. They are not my friends, they are yours. If they were ran by conservatives, you wouldn't care. Canada needs do their fair share in a lot of different areas. This is all about leverage in negotiations. I don't want the taxes I pay to go to subsidize (so to speak) Canadians. They wouldn't dream of doing such for Americans.

What, specifically, are you expecting of Canada in regards to how they treat us an an ally and trade partner? And not in regards to how they run their own internal politics, left or right. It seems this move from Trump has created some unity between Canadian conservatives and liberals, as an aside.

So Joe Biden was held accountable for his exact words? Try again.

By republicans… yes. Both sides do it. Neither side keeps their word

Anybody that’s against Tariffs, including the Fake News Wall Street Journal, and Hedge Funds, is only against them because these people or entities are controlled by China, or other foreign or domestic companies. Anybody that loves and believes in the United States of America is in favor of Tariffs. They should have never ended, in favor of the Income Tax System, in 1913. The response to Tariffs has been FANTASTIC!

BOOM! JD Vance just perfectly explained why Trump is taking such drastic actions with tariffs!

“The problem with the this whole idea that they're gonna retaliate is they have already been taking advantage of America for decades.”

“The retaliation is Donald Trump saying ‘no more’.

“We're not gonna be taken advantage of anymore, and I think it's important the president is doing what he's doing.”

So how has Canada been taking advantage of us for decades?
