I'm skeptical of the numbers also. One thing is for sure though. There are a lot more finance bros that think this is a shite sandwich than a good idea.
Finance bros wouldn't consider all that goes into a "strategy" like this. And depending on the finance bro, they can also have trouble considering more than a few variables at a time.

I'm not a betting man but I don't like relying on the idea that Trump is right and pretty much everyone else is wrong.
This doesn't bother me much given every single thing people are freaking out about over the first few months of this Trump term are things both sides have advocated for in the past - the border/deportations, trade/tariffs, and DOGE. There's some truth to - Trump could cure cancer and about 30% of this country would lose their shite over it.
Lastly, I think this is a dynamic process. I'll be surprised if we see the trade war everyone is freaking out about.

Probably closer to 50%.
You can’t leave out the TDS riddled RINOs.

They should go to prison if their model is wrong.

So a lower class or lower middle class person will have the equivalent of an entire paycheck from his year taken by Trump's tariff tax.
So much for voting for your economic betterment.

Is that like the 9 billion death Covid prediction model? You know, the models used to support lockdowns.

The how is important.
Like decreasing government. Doing this properly and orderly and giving time for everything to react is much different than the hurricane of executive fiat (without full authority) we saw, especially when combined with the online promotions of incomplete data.
These tariffs are something else. Even people who support the concept of tariffs have posted this rollout and the bait and switch causing chaos isn't what they voted for.

Sometimes the idea seema to be to completely get rid of the trade deficit.

We just started it buddy
And are warning others not to retaliate
No one likes being bullied around and these other nations aren't going to take it on the chin
There is hope that we can realize more amicable trade agreements but make no mistake the war is here and Trump started it

quote:Really now. I'm seeing 3 Trillion plus in foreign investment coming into the country by companies who want to avoid the tariffs by making products here. Those jobs here (the ones that weren't coming back), they will employee American workers. I'll take the investment and new American factory jobs.
Tariffs are a gift to BigCorp.

I'd like to see this math.
These findings aren't far off from what I've posted. Below is a study signed off on by roughly 30 trade organizations. It is strictly about the fallout from a fee we're going to charge any Chinese (and possibly any foreign nation) built or operated vessel making a port call. It could get ugly and industries are sounding the alarm.

People on the right butcher the context of this quote as bad as people on the left misconstrue the "fine people on both sides" quote.
