I think you’re confusing trade deficit with national debt.
Most cant tell the difference.
Some dumbass influencer told them that trade deficits directly effect the national debt and they believed it.

This free trade globalism has been a killer for the American worker. Even with the workers that are left, they are flooding the country with illegals to keep wages low. They bring in foreign engineers because they are cheaper. Today is a great day for the American worker.

75% of you in this thread don’t know shite about tariffs, how they work or what the prospects of such will be.
And that goes for both sides of the fence
LMAO!!!

He had bad advisors and/or personal trade policy. It's not because he's bored.
His gamble is that the US can throw its economic weight around with the entire world, with this move. Selectively targeting a country here or there is one thing, but this is going to raise transactional costs and uncertain in the markets pretty bigly.

I wouldn’t be shocked honestly.
A deep recession will do wonders for the working American.

frick you, in order to make this country strong like it used to be we need to do our own manufacturing, and benefiting our country first.
I acknowledge that I’m not thinking through all the downstream effects of what I’m about to say, but I wish that he was pairing these policies (which should help us in the long-term) with a domestic policy that was intended to offset the foreseeable negative short-term effects.
I hate to say something like the public works projects from the Great Depression, but that’s what in my head. Couldn’t we stop the foreign aid and spend that money instead on funding manufacturing here?
Couldn’t we have the best highways, the biggest dams, the best steel, the best lumber, etc in the world? With a ton of jobs created here? Even if it meant the government propping it up for a transition period?
I hope someone replies substantively to this post.
What about tax credits to individuals for every dollar they spend on American-made goods?
Seems like there’s a lot of things that could be done.

Instead of some B.S. formula applied across every country, a much more strategic approach should have been taken. Tell a country that if they go to 0% tariffs, U.S. matches with 0% tariffs. Instead, the "50% discount" on excess tariffs other countries place on us actually incentivizes other countries to just ramp their tariffs higher on U.S. goods. And there is absolutely no penalty under this formula for a country to go from 10% tariffs on U.S. goods to 19.99% tariffs, as the U.S. counter tariff stays flat at 10% in that scenario. There's also no incentive for a country to go from 10% tariffs on U.S. goods to 0% as our counter tariff stays at 10% regardless.
How do you know Team Trump didn't make an offer to each nation stating the US would refrain from enacting tariffs if they in turn dropped their tariffs?
