Tariffs

[WeAAsles]

He had a trade agreement in place (NAFTA) and he hated it. Made no bones about it. So he renegotiated it and proclaimed it the "greatest trade agreement ever" and it was implemented in July 2020. . That didn't sound like a "I'll change this in my next term" kind of statement, T

You’re highly OCD aren’t you. Do you have a professional that you see at least once a month that you can talk to about that?

Sorry but the man had the SAME people around him and advising him back then.

List the names then and now.

List the names then and now.

Larry Kudlow and Ron Varo...I mean Peter Navarro. And if you aren't aware....Navarro wrote a book about his economic theories and cited "Ron Varo" to buttress his findings. the thing is "Ron Varo" is anagram of Navarro, so he cites himself to support his writings. But both of these guys were in Trump's first administration. Yet they apparently came up with a piece of sheeyat that Trump later called the best trade agreement ever. That apparently didn't cover enough

I find it laughable that a guy who talks to himself in four of five different threads that he has hijacked to be offering any suggestions for "professional help".

 

[Dog Wonder]

All of his mirrors are broken.

 

[delldude]

Kudlow isn't now. You missed the ones doing the heavy lifting.

I find myself more interesting to chat with than you. At least I listen. You just have TDS and keep looking for a gotcha moment.

Questions: (This will/won’t be interesting)

Do you like having millions of illegal border crossers living in your Country that we taxpayers have to foot the bill for on many services?

Do you like the idea that an “American” person general contractor has to compete against the Mexicans who stand in front of Home Depot and will do work cheaper?

Do you like illegal Central and South Americans not wanting to go back home protesting not waving an American flag but the flags of Countries they don’t want to go back to and throwing bricks 🧱 at American 🇺🇸 Law enforcement officers just doing their jobs trying to put food on the tables for their families?

Do you like other Countries ripping us off by selling us cheap garbage paying their workers dirt and putting our own workers out of business?

Do you like other Countries not letting us sell American 🇺🇸 made products to their people?

Do you think if one Country wants to be protectionists that we shouldn’t be protectionists against them as well?

What do you stand for?

Are you on a fixed income and are afraid you may wind up priced out?

Why do you seem to want to support the Nations of Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽 maybe getting the better of us?

What do you gain?

Do you like the idea of people who CAN work being on Medicare? Do you think that’s fair for those who do work?

Are you on some type of unfair dole? Are you maybe taking advantage of the system?

You’re right that “some” are holdovers. Some are also new.

They didn’t come up with a piece of ****. Even Democrats including Joe said that the USMCA was better than NAFTA. Credit to the Democrats for being honest.

But now in the last 4 years the World has really changed. You’re not focusing on geopolitics though obviously. You’re a simple man who just wants cheap eggs and to be able to buy your Made In China 🇨🇳 bicycle from Walmart. That’s ok for you I guess but not the rest of us.

Anyway here’s to help you if you want to read and learn. Of course you don’t though. You prefer your warm comforting echo chamber of CNN.

The 5 people shaping Trump’s economic agenda

President Trump is relying on a cast of economic advisers with differing viewpoints and backgrounds as he implements a sweeping tariff agenda that has rattled financial markets and occasionally mix…

Hey KC don’t worry about your fixed income in retirement. You’ll still be able to get some nice cheap products like bicycle headgear from down in El Salvador. 🇸🇻

 

[Dog Wonder]

TACO again.

 

[WeAAsles]

KC this is for you.

Do you think Secretary Bessant is being too optimistic that there are Americans sitting on the sidelines that will take the jobs that illegals were doing if the wages and benefits were increased?

Shannon Bream asked the questions that people like you (And me) would ask.

 

[WeAAsles]

Again though KC instead of blabbering you should “listen” and then you can take what you “hear” and choose to construct a potential counter argument.

Although so far and yes it’s still very early the data 📈 has been firmly in the camp of the Trump Administrations policies favor.
