I was giving you the benefit of the doubt

You seem even more angsty and obtuse than usual

Why? All evidence points to him making everything up as he goes and having zero plan or foresight.

What does that mean? Apparently sycophants and regular folks all have TDS. I can’t keep up.

These are American owned businesses and you have a problem with them being proactive and trying to get ahead of the tariffs?


No, it's the prudent thing to do as a business owner. But weren't tariffs part of Trump's campaign speeches? They've had since November, almost 5 months to plan. Why do we need to wait another month?

Same with illegals that knew Trump's position. They've had months to self-deport. Don't get mad at Trump for his deportation efforts.

Why are so many people upset with Trump doing what he said he would do. To paraphrase a sports quote, he is who we thought he was. The people voted for this. Quite your bitchin

I don't think people voted for his irrational back and forth behavior on tariffs.

He might have a plan but it appears he has deviated from that plan if he ever had a real one

Because his supporters didn’t realize he was talking about them. They didn’t think he would cut their federal jobs or their research grants or their USDA contracts. They thought he would only deport criminals, not fruit pickers. Bless their hearts.

Why does it matter to you? Serious question - you purchase goods and manufacture a product and put a price and sell it

Like gas, the government adds a surcharge and someone either buys it or not

What am I missing?

It might be irrational to people that don't have 100% of the facts but rational to people that do.

I voted for him to use his best judgement and understand that a lot of what he says is for negotiation purposes. He starts high so that "meeting in the middle" is where he really wants to be.

I don’t believe he had a plan beyond winning the election.

That's why you give a deadline for reciprocal tariffs. No negotiations. Here's what we are doing. Here's when.


And when they remove theirs then we remove ours. Then they put them back then we put ours back.

Do you not understand how they control the timing and not us since ours are reciprocal?
