re: Trump is risking making the same mistake Biden did

You're a whiny little bitch.

Why is it that when people ask for complicated discussions and in no way just trashing Trump yall get offended like I called your mother a whore.

quote:

---

I understand the concepts of his tariffs to bring industries back to the U.S.

---

Do you? Then explain to me how we're going to not pay more for items manufactured by people who demand $30 an hour vs $20 a day.

Whether we suffer the tariffs or suffer the higher wages, "tariffs to bring industries back to the US" is going to cost the American consumer more.

Not developing a plan to bring down prices

There's no such thing. Sure, he can not aggravate prices, like he's determined to do with the tariffs, but prices are not going to go down. It amazes me the number of people who think this is possible.

quote:

Also ignoring the high interest rates

What is it you want him to do about interest rates? The interest rates are where they are because of inflation. The tariffs you like are only going to aggravate inflation.

Touting investments that won’t be seen in 5 years

I don't know what this means.

Too focused on foreign policy

Simply wrong. You're just wrong.

Congress has also done nothing

The first point about which we agree. All of these EOs will eventually disappear like a poot in the wind if Congress doesn't make them law, and Congress may only have a short window to act.

"Muh 'Merca Fust" is an empty slogan that basically encourages people to think so simply that they lose the ability to see more than one move ahead.

It's what causes people to think, "Hey, we're bringing industry back to the US, that's good" while never thinking it through that bringing industry back to the US means a net negative for the entire economy b/c the higher prices for everyone will far outweigh the jobs benefits for a small handful of Americans.

It's what causes people to say things like, "We're too focused on foreign policy" while ignoring that we depend on international shipping lanes staying open and undisturbed throughout the world in order to maintain prices here, and international unrest disturbs those shipping lanes.

It's what causes people to cheer tariffs that have already been proven in 2017-2019 to cost American consumers and taxpayers billions more dollars than necessary b/c, "Hey, they have a 20% tariff on our goods but we only have a 2% tariff on theirs...that's not fair!" Totally ignoring that when we levy a tariff on imports it is our citizens who pay for it (just like when they put a tariff on our goods, it's their citizens who pay for it...let them raise the tariff as high as they want in that case...they are paying for it).

"Muh 'Merca Fust" might be the dumbest and most damaging fad ever to plague the US. Worse than Tik Tok.

Stfu

Sad that someone this dumb is allowed to vote.

You are only seeing the real Economy now. We have been supporting this Country with Debt for the lat four years. It’s going to get worse before it gets better. Everything has been fake.

Yes, there is an article by Issues and Insights about this precisely. They say he better get a plan going on the economy fast or he may lose the narrative. I am not listening to the address tonight because I never listen to those, but I hope he lays out a plan for the economy. The woman in front of me in the grocery line laid out 250 bucks for her groceries. Not good.

That’s the trade off, up until the 2000s life was cheap but products were expensive. We weren’t drown in consumerism where we couldn’t buy worthless crap but could afford homes and cars. If we can return to that system I’m sure more people would support that over the current norm.

Of course it’s not a magic wand but this was the same argument Dems made and look how that worked out. People want to at least see you trying instead of saying “we just can’t bring down prices”.

In Trump first term he bullied the fed weekly about bringing down the rates it absent so far. He also campaigned on bring down credit card interest rates and that some congress should get on that would be a big win.

I’m not a fan on 25% blanket tariffs I think the better move was reciprocated tariffs

Time to valuable for a rebuttal.
