Didnt Supreme Court just rule this was illegal?


That ruling only applied to a certain type of tariff. He still has some tariff power.

The average factory job in America pays $17 an hour.

In part because we’ve imported mass populations of unskilled labor which depresses wages.

We can't fill the $17 an hour jobs we have vacant right now.

Greatly exaggerated and when the wages increase to a level that exceeds what someone would make at Taco Bell they’ll have people out the door.

We're going to revolutionize the economy on that?

If we get people making $25/hr plus health care instead of working uber while getting unemployment and sitting on public healthcare the net impact will be incredible.

Shifting people from assistance to neutral alone is a win.

Only 60% of US households paid federal taxes last year and a 1 in 3 Americans are currently on some form of assistance as reference.

There is no tariffs on beef and cows don't use gasoline. Being that I have cows, I do thank you for paying more though. I've got about 18 calves that I need to take to the sale barn. Last I heard, 400 lb calves were bringing about $4.30 a pound here. Should average about $1700 a piece. After commission, I'll get $29K or so.
Thanks again.

Tariffs are part of his America First original platform

I voted for this.

Also European cars might be the only ones worse than American made cars as far as being way overpriced with shitty quality

No, sir. He's not running for office again, and he doesn't care a whit about the Republican party nor the nation's economic well-being.

DTJ's true colors are coming through unfiltered in his second and mercifully last term. Hopefully the nation survives 2 1/2 more years.

I had a buddy who sells Audis tell me sometime last year they were keeping them on ships while they waited to see WTF was going to happen with tariffs. But, per the poliboard, I guess that makes car salesmen retards who don't know how to adjust to markets!

The tariffs are extremely unpopular, and he decides to go back to them.


Tell that to the uber critical rust belt states who rely on American built cars for their economy...

Why would you think if MB raised their prices that everyone else wouldn't as well?


We can afford their price increase because….

When tarrifs “refinance our debt”, that will allow Powell to lower interest rates, which will, in turn, allow Trump to eliminate the income tax. As a result, everyone will be richer because we will all work in manufacturing making $500k a year.

It’s magic.

No, now take the man at his word - he says he’s an idiot, so who are we to question it? But not for voting for Trump, that ain’t why. That actually decreased his idiot score some.

Correction: the majority doesn’t do anything for me, and others like me. 77 million people put Trump in office and gave the Republican Party the house and senate. They have done nothing for Trump meaning not for us either.
