You can be sure of one thing. If this turns out to be tremendously successful, and does exactly what we are hoping for and is great for Americans....you will never get any confirmation from MSM or the left nut jobs. All they have is fear and racism, that's it. Their policies have an approval rating of less than 30%. That tells you that almost half of their own party doesn't support their policies.

They just dont get it. Tariffs are a part of a system.
This is and always has been about American job growth.
Tariffs are just a small part in fixing this broken system that has led the 36T (is it 37T?) in debt, and counting.
Importing less and exporting more, fundamentally, will revolutionize American manufacturing.
Exporting millions of illegals will help with the housing crisis and should lower costs over time, and if the lumber and other goods are being manufactured locally instead of being shipped in from fricking Canada everyone wins. (Except for Canada, but frick them)
Same thing with car manufacturing. BMW vs Mercedes. Mercedes manufactures alot of the vehicle in the U.S. already, and now it’s about to be alot more. BMW won’t. Guess which manufacturer is about to have record profits in America in 2026 and will also employ thousands of Americans. At the same time a Ford cannot be sold in Germany due to the tariffs. Let’s bring that number to a reasonable number so that Ford can grow too in other countries. Who doesn’t want that?
You can really tell who has pride in country by which side people are on this thing. It is incredibly easy to understand with an America first mindset. We have been getting fricked for decades. Why are some of you OK with?
The last thing, and perhaps the most important, is that since we’ve become king importer by exporting all manufacturing, we are nearly in a checkmate scenario with China. We cannot keep up with their military manufacturing, they have us at a 100-1 ratio. We would be militarily exhausted and at Winchester in less than a month in some areas if we were to go to war. Do you think the Chinese don’t know this?

The word "rational" is a foreign concept to the sky screamers who go ballistic every time Trump actually tries to stand up for what's right for the American people.

The methodology behind the tariff calculations are bunk. Tariffs are best used sparingly and with purpose; this is Smoot-Hawley on steroids.
So this must be "something d o o economics?"

Because Soros is buying digital billboards in the blue cities. “Tarrifs are a tax” shite.

Because the country voted for Trump to lower prices, not raise them.

It only makes sense if you are trying to juice the numbers for a starting point in a negotiation. There is no way these are the final numbers. Trump & Co. are just trying to scare other countries into coming to the table IMO.
