Anyone else willing to admit that they have zero clue one way or the other on tarrifs

Some decently smart people like musk don’t like them which gives me pause however I also sense secondary gain there.
There were plenty of decently smart people who
We’re all for shutting down the economy during covid too. Doesn’t mean they were right.
I think there’s equal chances this works out in a huge way as it it that it blows up but I will freely admit it’s cool having someone like Trump play a hand no one has had the balls to play.
All I see is “the pHD economists say it’s bad”. Well the phd economists like to sniff their own farts.

I'm willing to admit that I have no idea how it's going to shake out in the short-term or the long-term. Whether it will be a net benefit for us or a net negative. I have no idea how this will shake up world trade or global markets.
I'm also willing to admit that not a single one of the sky screaming idiots, who can't stop wetting their panties, have any clue either.

There’s a divorce lawyer sitting in a strip mall in Lake Charles who knows everything. Just ask him.

I have 100% trust in Trump. Even if that doesn’t turn into a success, which I think it will…he did something that should have been tried a long time ago because we’ve been getting bent over for far too long. Desperate times call for desperate measures

My opinion is that no one knows. We haven't been in a high tariff atmosphere in 100 years. It's kinda like COVID in my opinion. So called "virologist" said wear a mask. They didn't know. No one has been in a world wide pandemic since the Spanish flu in the first world war. We'll have to see how all this plays out with tariffs.

I think the execution was less than stellar but I think Team Trump did the tariffs in a shock and awe format to get the attention of all US global trading partners. We have to remember, Trump could have attempted to address each nation one by one with his trade concerns or throw a nuclear bomb tariff policy into effect and force those nations to come to the US. We'll see if Team Trump's tariff strategy was the correct way to go....time will tell.

I don’t know shite about tariffs to be honest only thing that has me thinking it may actually be a GOOD thing is that fact the amount of bitching the liberals and democrats are bitching saying it’s a bad thing and we all know they don’t know shite about frick

There were tariffs before these tariffs.
And the same people saying tariffs bad and black Monday work for the same companies that told you to stay home and not kill grandma.

I’ll admit that what we have been doing has racked up over $37 Trillion in debt. I’m willing to give it a chance.

This^^^. There hasn't been another person let alone a POTUS who had the gonads to even think about what Team Trump is doing let alone actually try to rectify the fricked up trade agreements between the US and other nations.

I’m not sure if Trump’s plan will work. If this was 1992, it would definitely work. I feel like maybe Trump is trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. It got squeezed out starting around 1992 thanks to the Clintons

Time to turn the Barge around. It was never going to be easy. I have No Doubt Trump knows what he is doing. Our Country is on Drugs. Detox sucks.

Most people have one semester of high school economics taught by an assistant football coach that can't balance his checkbook.
It's a complex, so difficult subject to understand.
My life experience has taught me that the hardest thing to do for 90 percent of people is admit they are wrong.
This is a bad combo.
My take. Burn the ships. $36 trillion in debt is going to be a bigger problem if we don't get it under control.

We've been getting f$%ked with tariffs for decades, but we don't have to. Our politicians have been paid off to allow this. We hold the cards. Trump knows this. We have a Royal flush and China has a pair of Queens and some weak arse people want to fold? The game is over, is just a matter of time until their hand is called. Then it's payback tariffs for those that didn't capitulate soon enough or we just don't like.

A month’s heads-up warning is “shock and awe”?

The anti-free traders embrace logical inconsistency while imploring soft-science hocus pokery.
Not to mention I’m not inclined to take advisement from people who would squander a week on a chit-chat board arguing about something over which they have no control and the outcome of which will become apparent quite soon.

I don’t have a crystal ball that’ll tell me if it’ll work out in my lifetime or not. I have a hunch it will work out in our favor within a few months.
Reason being…. The US is a 100% self sustaining country if it needs to be. Food, water, energy, technology, defense, etc is right here and we’re fully capable of maintaining our lifestyles without much interruption for a very long time if we have to.
Of course it wouldn’t be pleasant after immediately moving that direction but it is very doable.
How many other countries can say that? Not very many at all, not many that matter anyway. They need our money, period.
We’ve allowed ourselves to be taken advantage of by the entire world and it’s time to put an end to that, it’s simply not sustainable
