IGotWorms 4,058 Posted March 31, 2024 It’s just back to the whole thing with Trump. Nobody really puts much stock in what he says. Not even his supporters. So if you don’t like this, you can just blow it off as “he doesn’t really mean that” or “he’s just bloviating.” Which traditionally would’ve been a death knell for a presidential candidate. How can you have a guy leading the free world where nobody can put any stock in what he says? It’s completely erratic. But somehow Trump has always managed to avoid those consequences. Probably a sign of the times, really. People are so disillusioned that they no longer expect or even want a steady hand in leadership. Seems like that won’t end well but I guess we’re just going to have to find out. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Case in point How can it be a “hit piece” when it is literally Trump’s own platform. Are you saying he hasn’t said that repeatedly? You just blow it off as Trump talking crazy. Which may be true — but why would you want a president that’s known for just saying a bunch of random sh1t no one can put any stock in? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 7,435 Posted March 31, 2024 Quick summary: MSNBC says if the economy and inflation is your big issue you should know that Trump is proposing steep tariffs on foreign goods, which will increase prices. In reality nobody on earth believes a thing Trump says so don’t worry about it. He breaks his bad promises too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're the boy who cried wolf. yeah, that's wrong, there are a myriad of examples of products that went up in price. Quote Trump wants more tariffs. His earlier trade wars cost Americans $230 billion to date Americans have paid more than $230 billion to date for tariffs that Trump imposed on imported solar panels, steel and aluminum and Chinese-made goods, according to US Customs and Border Protection. More than half of the duties have been collected during the Biden administration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but this was one thing he said before and did it last time. It doesn't require an act of Congress, if he's elected he can just raise tariffs. If you thought a temporary 9% inflation was bad, this would be a 4 year 10% increase on anything imported and that's a lot of items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ot it could result in those countries coming to the table to stike a new bargain, undoubtably what trump hopes would happen. Me,Ii believe the countries upon whom Trump imposed an increase would look to get in a tariff war and would retaliate, if they are able, leading to greater economic problems still. Only then would the coubntries and we come to our senses and negotiate reasonable conditions, but by then great harm likely would have been done. Now my beliefs are based upon my understanding of human nature and not economics, history, or the behavior of nations so take anything I say as the opinion of the rather uninformed.
