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

What is your highest economics degree you have completed?

You don't even need a degree to understand basic economics

I have a Masters from Michigan in Econ and Political Science , i've done a bit of work in the field as well on wallstreet

lol you're kidding

"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"

just.....

Why bother

i guess I dont understand how you are confused about the benefits of reducing trade deficits and selling our products to the world.

jesus

fucking

christ

That's 👏 Not 👏 What 👏 Trade 👏 Deficits 👏 Are

the equation is outgoing products minus incoming goods= balance

A trade deficit is when we buy more goods from them than they bought from us

That's not a bad thing

correct

"I have a trade deficit with Microcenter. In order to reduce it, I need stop shopping there"

See how retarded it is

@FriarPop Then why reduce it?

you are trying to simply this way too much, and assume there is not competition in the marketplace or political influnces

step out of theory and into the real world

🤦

You still didn't answer my question

the word WAR in trade war is literal

sometimes they are meant to screw over people at our expense

like I have a trade deficit with Microcenter(China), i'm going to stop shopping at China! and shop at India, cause screw them, they are Mofo's

spoken like a true big government protectionist

That's.... not how it works

and they can no longer have our F35's

If you want to counter China's influence WITHOUT launching trade wars that harm our workers, the TPP would've done just that

jfc

You call yourself a conservative?

lol
