In new research, Mary Amiti, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and Sang Hoon Kong and David Weinstein, both economists at Columbia University, used movements in stock prices to measure the response to policy announcements on tariffs and the escalation of the U.S.-China trade war initiated by the Trump administration. “Stock prices are well suited for this purpose because firm market value equals the expected present value of future firm profits,” according to Amiti, Kong and Weinstein. “Therefore, movements in stock prices tell us about changes in the expected future value of firm-specific capital (both tangible and intangible).”

“The results suggest that markets interpreted the impact of the tariffs as much more negative than what economists initially estimated,” said David Weinstein in an interview. “Part of the reason stems from the fact that the U.S. tariffs rose significantly in 2019, and the earlier studies didn’t include these higher rates. Moreover, the new analysis suggests that the tariffs’ impact on productivity is likely to be a factor holding down U.S. growth rates. The tariffs protect the least efficient firms and reduced their incentives to innovate while hurting the most successful U.S. firms, reducing their ability to innovate.”

A new study finds the Trump administration’s trade policies and tariffs reduced U.S. income at a rate of $1.4 billion per month by November. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Princeton and Columbia conservatively estimate that U.S. tariffs cost American consumers at least $6.9 billion last year.

socialist economic policies

are just done to level the playing field for American manufacturers. Foreign governments steal from their citizen to subsidize it's own nations manufacturing that would not be able to compete globally without it. With it, it can undercut American manufacturers. So by imposing tariffs on countries that do this, it theoretically would reduce this action and force them to compete via open market. Once that is done we would drop the tariffs, therefore decreasing global socialism.

It is all a matter of perspective, and you are talking to a group on the far right edge of the political landscape, dangling by their fingernails and in constant danger of tumbling forever into the abyss.

I didnt vote for Trump because of policy issues. You can research my 2016 history and see that I was voting for him for one reason; to stick my thumb in the eye of the GOPe/Clintons

The policies were just a perk

But this is such a pathetic post, it further lessens your already diminished self on this board

* Foreign entanglements were greatly reduced
* Border security became a top priority (Ryan killed it)
* Repeal forced health care (McCain killed it)
* Exposed the bureaucracy (snd still doing it)
* Exposed the judicial system (via immigration obstruction)
* Exposed election theft (bigly)
* Dunked on China (all while fighting the Chamber)
* Moved toward energy independence
* Schedule F
* Flipped the court (McConnell was forced to go along because he was also up in '20)
* Exposed Comey and the FBI
* Exposed Cheney, Kinzinger, Romney, Murkowski, etc. All GOPe darlings

In fact, he was so effective that they faked a pandemic to get him out

And if they could fake a global pandemic that sacrificed lives, they didnt hesitate to stuff ballots

But youre still hoping the GOPe types extend a country club invitation to you, so that you can feel your life has merit. Stop worrying about the optics. As we have seen the last 8 years, it was all a mirage anyway

Now you have to explain what that graph says...and GO

Nothing is long-standing anymore. This country bounces back and forth so much now I get whiplash. It's alot harder to fix something somebody fricked up than it is to tear it all down and rebuild, but it's more painful to rebuild. Trump was on his way to getting things back right then everything went full retard with Covid and we ended up with dipshit as president. This country isn't completely fricked, but it's getting closer with each passing day.

Nothing.

He had both houses and did none of the shite he promised. Then lost to Joe freakin’ Biden.

But don’t tell the cult here that . . .

I gave you the answer to why his voters are so loyal. RobbBobb just gave you a solid substantive mini-list. You tell me which you think is more important. And you have your answer.
