OH MY! now what will all those 30 somethings do while they live in their parents basement.
This part of the non-monitary effect of Trump's game-paying with tariffs. The relationship between the US and trading partners has weakened, as the US is seen as untrustworthy. Many from Canada who would have traveled to the US to Florida, and Arizona did not come. Flights are lost, and the businesses that benefited lose. American whiskey's won't just bounce back.For Canada at least, I think the ill-will this has created among Canadian citizens will be long-lasting. All those US vacations and plane flights are not going to suddenly come back. American liquor and other products? We'll just see what the trade imbalance looks like. If that was the goal, since the US was 'subsidizing' Canada, this solution is not likely to fix it.
Attempt at a low blow noted. It is pathetic of you.FWIW - Lincoln was so loved - he was assassinated by a Democratic Party supporter.
What are all those Vets fired from their government jobs going to do? How does increased inflation from a 10% tariff help housing when the interest rate does not go down during inflation?OH MY! now what will all those 30 somethings do while they live in their parents basement.
Off topic and long, long debunked.Not a member of the current Democratic Pary since Johnson's day. Boothe's views were more like Republicans these days as the Southern Democrats ended up going to the Republican party for Nixon.
Yes, the Southern strategy existed.

Lol nice antiquated view of gamers there, grandpa. Clearly only total losers care about video games.OH MY! now what will all those 30 somethings do while they live in their parents basement.
FOXnews correspondent Charlie Garparino on why Trump backed off the tariffs, and it has to do with the sell off of US TreasurysYeah, countries like Zimbabwe and Madagascar and other countries will desperately try to get relief from tariffs, and it looks like Trump backed down on many of tariffs as many of his wealthy backers were having a fit, and his approval ratings dropped.
Approximately $8 trillion was lost in the last few days. That is not so good.

So here's the real question: are you FOR Trump's tariffs, or against?Nasdaq Soars to Best Day Since 2001 After Trump Pauses Some Tariffs

And rather crude - his comments about world leaders lining up to kiss my ....are just immature and a sad sign of his personality disorder.I'd be betting against the market and their blip of hopium. Some on Wall Street just don't get it. Trump is not a clever businessman, he just played one on TV, and there's no "there" there in the first place. Just a senile old man that thinks and talks at a 5th grade level. As long as Trump is in office, we will continue to lurch from one crisis to another, all of which will impact the economy.
ICYMI: The Free Trader's Case for Trump's Reciprocal Tariffs
Today is Trump's much-heralded "Liberation Day". He may do more for free trade than all others before him.open.substack.com
Donald Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs, scheduled to take effect April 2, predictably flummoxed globalists and free traders alike. Yet in fact, both groups should be thrilled. The real question is why they didn’t think of it first.
(And yes, there’s an answer to that.)
Countries will follow Trump imposing tariffs on China: Gordon Chang
Chang, author of the new book “Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America,” said he expects to see tariffs rise on Chinese goods worldwide.www.newsnationnow.com
'...What’s going to happen is other countries are going to have to follow Trump’s footsteps,” Chang said Wednesday on NewsNation. “Trump’s tariffs close off the U.S. market to many Chinese products. China’s got to sell them someplace else… other countries’ industrial sectors are going to be decimated unless they protect their country.”
Chang, author of the new book “Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America,” said he expects to see tariffs rise on Chinese goods worldwide as countries defend their markets from potential product dumping'
And rather crude - his comments about world leaders lining up to kiss my a$$ are just immature and a sad sign of his personality disorder.
This post is very confusedSo here's the real question: are you FOR Trump's tariffs, or against?
Are you WITH him, or against him?
You don't get to celebrate the stock market going up while Trump's goals of MAGA are going down!
According to MAGA doctrine - overseas people bad - Americans good - must only buy American - trade bad.
Apparently, you might not know about "The Art of the Deal." Also, I am certain that President Trump has far more "backbone" than the previous president. Whereas most conservatives had already known and understood about Trump's negotiating skills and the reasons for those tariffs.What have I heard on these forums?
Exclamations galore!
Stuff like "Finally - a President with backbone!"
"It's about time - the world has been trading unfair with America forever!"
Oh - and Trump was pleased because world leaders were lining up to 'kiss' him apparently - somewhere....
And he was never, ever going to BACK DOWN!

Here we go! American factories everywhere, independence, MAGA - all of it!
It's tariff day people!
Except... oh wait... whaaaaaat?
View attachment 363393
Oh. So no tariffs on most of us then. Stockmarket panic, world leaders lining up - MAGA types finding rationales to put tariffs on allies - anger at the borders - a massive global increase in anti-American sentiment.
At least if the tariffs had stayed the rest of the world would have been reminded of Economics 101 and what NOT to do! But ... we don't get to see that.
Trump backs down.
No backbone.
It was all for nothing.
Way to climb halfway out of a hole you didn't need to dig, Donald!
(He could have just put tariffs on China alone at the start? And - like - NOT annoyed most of America's former allies?)
Seriously - is this guy OK? Is it time for the 25th yet? And a review of Presidential powers so more than one person has their finger on this button?
Apparently, you might not know about "The Art of the Deal."
Yes, it has. Completely and totally.You are the one who brought up the topic, and no, it was not debunked.
