The debt is so huge we can’t possibly solve it by cutting spending- we can never cut enough. The only way out is to grow our way out of it- and that means MORE trade not less. Trump is proposing curtailing trade and increasing the debt through tax cuts, the exact opposite of what we need to do. I pointed this out when he was running for office. Now it’s too late. But please don’t attempt to scold Democrats. We didn’t vote for this moron; you did. Now we all pay the price.

seafoam1 2,799 Posted April 5 President Donald Trump is doubling down on his controversial tariffs program and has called on Americans to "hang tough" amid stock market turmoil over the last few days. Trump, in a post on Truth Social Saturday morning, wrote that his plan is already working with trillions of dollars already being poured into the U.S. economy. "We are bringing back jobs and businesses like never before. Already, more than FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT, and rising fast! THIS IS AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION, AND WE WILL WIN," Trump wrote. "HANG TOUGH, it won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic," Trump wrote. "We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!" Trump wrote. Trump took aim at China after the communist country clapped back to Trump’s Liberation Day tariff announcement with a reciprocal 34% tariff on U.S. imports. "China has been hit much harder than the USA, not even close," Trump wrote. "They, and many other nations, have treated us unsustainably badly. We have been the dumb and helpless "whipping post," but not any longer." "China played it wrong, they panicked — the one thing they cannot afford to do," Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,410 Posted April 5 One of the issues that nobody is paying much attention to yet: the large number of people from Europe and Canada who are cancelling their planned trips to the USA as retaliation because they don’t want to spend money here.

TimHauck 2,613 Posted April 5 On 4/2/2025 at 9:32 PM, The Psychic Observer said: These are not reciprocal tariffs. That's a lie. They made this numbers up. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is. Haven’t read the whole thread, did anyone talk about how they tried to make the formula look more complex by adding 2 values that canceled each other out?
