Love or hate Trump, this tariff stuff is a shite show and the American people will suffer with another spike in prices for goods. Canada is terminating American contracts which hurts business. But worst of all, it sours our relationships with our Allies playing right into Putin’s hands. Sad.


Ummmm…great opinion. Will not read again.

oh bullshite Roger

IF there is no comparable American made product in that price range it is because it cannot compete with slave labor from China. And IF there is a comparable American product, but at a higher price, then the tariff merely evens out the wage differential between the production of the products.

Buy the American made or do without it.

I doubt there is a CRITICAL item that will have an unbearable tariff. And if there IS such an item then it is high time we produce it HERE. The tariff accomplishes this.

IF it is just some cheap toy, then do without it or pay up.

and that doesn't even apply to the reciprocal tariffs that other country puts on our attempts to sell into their country - they protect THEIR economies.

It is high time we do the same - it is time to quit being the slapping boy for the rest of the world

Not going to happen. Youre going to be surprised at how quickly the average person crumbles.

Politics is a popularity contest, and you cant win by making their morning latte unaffordable.

China's GDP is 12.5k per capita. Their wages are proportional to their economy.

Its your government who has destroyed the dollar and created this mess.

These 3 aren't doing enough to stop us from being poisoned by fentanyl.

You know who isn't poisoning us with Fentanyl?

It’s almost like you can agree on some policies and disagree on others! Something the dumbasses on the left don’t understand

So are we doing the tariffs for muh fentanyl or doing the tariffs to "get even" with them? I thought both Canada and Mexico had already relented in Trump's demands regarding the borders/fentanyl?

Trump’s tariffs are meant to bring down Mexican and Canadian tariffs. Tariffs on China are more of a national security issue than trade deal.

and that is the goal of the ComaCrats and the media - keep the public DUMB and AGITATED

Tariffs are a great way to promote local business - and there may even be a better payoff in taking away much of the ridiculous regulations and policies that cause the labor and production costs to be so damned HIGH here,.

Well let’s stay with status quo and loose over a trillion dollars in trade deficits. Guess how we overcome those deficits? Print more money. What happens when we print more money rog? Be honest when you answer.
