That's good news...the last time Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Kanastan's Steel the industry boomed, never has the Steel Industry made such high profits in such a short period.

i'm sure that lead to increased tax revenue, higher wages and lower prices /s

@mikenigger ...most definitely, because in Kanastan profit is a dirty word

Yeah, can't wait for more inflated prices

Like the liberals gave us under Obama & Biden? What you don't understand about tariffs is that you can have two identical items on a store shelf. One Item is imported and has incurred a tariff charge, while the item Right next to it does not because it was produced IN America!

The point is two-fold:

1.)Bring manufacturing and jobs back to America.
2.)Stop our dependency on foreign governments.

It's a win-win for America!

So everything is more expensive. Exactly what I said. And China is so cheap to produce products you would need 500% tariffs to make America competitive with manufacturing there

Everything is NOT more expensive, American produced good will be cheaper than imported goods. Consumers that purchase American produced goods will not pay a tariff. This is nothing more than a "big-Stick" to get America to become a producer again!

Quit making up numbers, ya fuckin' retard.

You're directly contradicting yourself.

A 25% tariff means things will cost more

Yeah, you're that fucking dumb.

Who determines the price of a good or service?

[ - ] FreeinTX 1 point 5 monthsNov 26, 2024 07:20:28 ago (+1/-0)

Tariffs are a good thing, ya retard.

[ - ] Sal_180 [op] 0 points 5 monthsNov 26, 2024 12:50:12 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah, I can't wait until shit gets more expensive

That's what happened the last 4 fuckin' years under Biden. Had dick to do with tariffs and everything to do with giving free money to kill white people so that jews can get rich.

Pay fucking attention, dickbag.

Inflation happened across the world. Partly due to covid.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%80%932023_inflation_surge

Tariffs increase prices too

[ - ] FreeinTX 0 points 5 monthsNov 26, 2024 17:07:17 ago (+0/-0)

Covid didn't cause inflation, ya fuckin' ninny. Covid didn't close the ports. Covid didn't shut down the supply chain. And Covid didn't give out free money to everyone on the fucking planet. The Biden Administration, and Democrat governors of states with ports did that. And, before you try to bullshit me with the Trump Stimie, that pailed in comparison to the money we shat out to foreign countries like Ukraine and Israel for the wars to make jews rich off dead white people.

And no, tariffs do NOT increase prices. You're too fuckin' stupid to understand what a tariff is and how tariffs work.

Now you can’t even eat cheap tacos.

[ - ] iSnark 0 points 5 monthsNov 26, 2024 06:15:54 ago (+0/-0)

Right. Maybe Trump will swing the pendulum back the other way, like he did during his first term and life will be livable again.

[ - ] FreeinTX 0 points 5 monthsNov 26, 2024 07:22:27 ago (+0/-0)

A taco made by a Mexican American isn't all that much more expensive and at least the hiding of actual inflation will stop.
