Tit for Tat Tariffs - The US versus the World

[Aryeh Jay]

Well I can’t argue with that. When was the last time we had a sensible president in office? I can’t remember it.

I remember a few but I won't name them because some of them are Satanic, godless, commie, socialist nazi, abortion loving Democrats

And that's a sensible conversation to have. But unfortunately for the US, Trump doesn't do sensible.

It is very sensible to secure our borders, remove criminal gangs, cut waste fraud and abuse, upgrade our defenses, seek fairness in trade for our country and on and on. I really don’t understand what Trump haters would like see done in this country but we get an elected leader who actually keeps campaign promises and the left wants to run him out of town . I am not sure what many think is sensible. I hear no action plan from the left only complaints.

yeah...now if only any of that was true, instead you got guy deporting people he claims are criminals, people who criticize the president, cutting random funding with no clue what they are cutting, pretending to seek fairness in trade, and instead, whining that other countries can't afford to spend as much as the US despite being smaller.

Of course. The problem with this premise though, is that it presumes that all of these issues actually exist.

Yes, I remember when they cut the waste of giving children life saving medicine.

Every illegal entry is a criminal act, sad you can’t see that. The bulk of deportations have been hardened criminals and gang members. Sad you can’t see that. Some illegals have been caught in raids for hardened criminals but they are still here illegally. Student visas are a privilege not a right , sad you can’t see that. If they come here to learn in our schools they do not have the right to disrupt the operation of schools to support terrorist organizations, sad you can’t see that.

pretending to seek fairness in trade,

The EU’s trade chief, Maros Sefcovic, is said to have left Monday’s meeting in Washington with little clarity on the American stance. US officials indicated that the 20% “reciprocal” tariffs—which Trump reduced to 10%—as well as other tariffs targeting sectors including cars and metals would not be removed outright. The uncertainty around Trump’s chaotic tactics, replete with delays, retreats, new threats and sudden exceptions and trial balloons, hasn’t helped. The legality of his entire trade war is also the subject of litigation.

The EU has offered that both sides remove all tariffs on industrial goods, including cars, but Trump has so far rejected the proposal. (And while Trump is supposedly betting that a 25% tariff on imports of vehicles and automotive parts will bring more manufacturing to America, the reality may not be so straightforward.)

Hey aren't they made in China? A 145% tariff on MAGA hats - ain't that ironic?

Official MAGA hats ordered and paid for by the campaign are made in the US. As with many other products Knock offs are made in China.

The MAGA hats that were available for purchase at the Newaygo County Republicans in Michigan last year had the tags already cut out. I guess that was for comfort.

Not true. 90% of those sent to El Salvador have no known criminal record in the US or abroad.

ETA: the topic, once again, is TARIFFS, Tit-for-Tat

Why? Are you going to claim that would somehow change your opinion? Do you not know what USAID's function was?

This is absolutely false. What is your source? Surely you are not implying known gang members who have not specifically been caught in a crime are upstanding legal citizens that we should welcome?
