I didn't say they were bad. I asked several questions. Can you answer any of them?

If not, you might want to tap out here.

I can’t afford fishing equipment or to fill up my boat and f-350.

Bull excrement. The average person drives 15000 miles a year. That F-350 gets at least 15 mpg. Means you buy 1000 gallons of gas a year. Gas is up $1.50 or so in my area. If it lasts for a full year, increased gas prices will cost me $1500.
How much fishing equipment could you possibly need? Couple hundred bucks worth? Tariffs would increase a $200 purchase to $300 (at 50% tariff). That's $100. If you can't afford $1600 this year to have a safer world without a nuclear IRAN and less terrorism, you can't afford an F-350 or to fish.

Ive yet to have it explained why Iran situations effect gas price. Have you seen a shortage anywhere?

As though gas prices and tariffs only affect the price of the items he mentioned.

He didn't say he couldn't afford to go fishing only because the cost of gas and fishing has gone up. When gas gets more expensive, everything does. Tariffs have the same effect, albeit not to the same degree.

Now, I'm all for pushing Iran's shite in. It's way overdue IMO, and I'm not worried about the short term gas spike, and I further think that, as you said, if you can't afford to put gas in a gas guzzling vehicle during a short term spike like this then you didn't need a gas guzzling vehicle to begin with.

But let's be accurate here.

MAGA didn't vote for Trump because of the economy dummy.

MAGA could have had higher taxes without all the drama of tariffs.

You conveniently left out my boat. I need 100-150 gallons for a good fishing trip. So no i gotta pay 50% more than I was paying all because some PUSSY like you sleeps better at night knowing a nuclear weapon iran that would never hit us doesn’t exist!!

Why’s it okay for every country to tariff us? ^ this is the main reason why I won’t answer your stupid questions because you’re ignorant to the trade and tariffs imposed on us.

I can’t help but wonder if it’s just a tad more complicated than your framing of it. Just a tad. Or perhaps we could call it conveniently leaving out indispensably relevant information - information that would tend to weaken your argument.

Him and others are straight ignorant, MAGA only wants tariffs for trade leverage as we have been ripped off. I’ll say right now we don’t need tariffs if other countries played ball. It’s always been about free trade.
