It will hurt other countries more than the US economy
no
it
will
not
We're outsourcing OUR JOBS if we tax our workers
and industries
Just putting an electronics tariff of 25% on electronics would make the EU collapse as an example
Why the fuck do you think Harley Davidson fled?
Mother
Of
God
They fled because it was cheaper to operate over there
Exactly, because of Trump's tariffs, it was expensive here to operate
do you not get it
And because of excessive regulations
And excessive taxes
As a result of Trump's tariffs
Imagine paying 5800$ more for a fucking car just because Europe does it to their people
You know how retarded that notion of "reciprocal" trade is
Unironically it does.
"Fairness" is a neat sugar coated term for socialism
We pay an extra tax on anything that isn't made inside the EU
Because Swiss cheese is so good that it requires additional taxes to not compete fairly with the rest of the world
🤦
Trump is using tariffs to reduce Trade deficits, which is an indicator of our wealth, not an indicator of our budget deficit which has absolutely nothing to do with it
Trade deficits are to be praised, not to be trashed
The obsession with "fairness" is the real problem here and people on the right should condemn it because it's the same argument used with income inequality and socialism
It's obviously more important that Americans be better off than have equal tariff rates that harm American workers and consumers
It's just basic economics
The harms from a trade war are increased prices for most Americans, job losses, bailouts and other things.
That by far outweighs any potential gain of slightly lowering already historically low barriers among our trade partners
How is crashing a roaring economy under Trump to get an ally to lower their low tariff rate by 0.4 or 0.5% worth it? Like honestly you'd have to be a true dumbfuck to believe this
Tarriff's work, We just won Yuge with the EU on them, now we can sell them more beans and Energy, this screws over Russia, you have to look at the true impacts of the tarriff and trade wars, we are wealthy enough to influence things for our friends and hurt those who screw us
THE BLUE WAVE IS FAKE NEWS
Trump a made deal with the EU to continue talks with reducing tariffs
lol
nothing else
@FriarPop All of that is pure economic illiteracy
