re: Trump's explains his plans for using tariffs.

Isn't this basically the plan? Not tariff across the board, but tariff to correct the specific areas where other countries are taking advantage of us.

Dude. You obviously did not read your own post.

To achieve this goal, we will phase in a system of universal, baseline tariffs on most foreign products. On top of this, higher tariffs will increase incrementally depending on how much individual foreign countries devalue their currency.

So Trump wants an "across the board" universal baseline tariff. The number that has been floated is 10%. Then he will add to that based on other factors.

Not me. I want the fed to collapse completely it’s a crime syndicate. People should be planning on how to live outside of this system

Has Trump announced that as part of his plan?


Doesn't need to, he will just like he did every year previously.

No need for the long reply. You could have simply said "no".
So, your guessing..... You really don't know.
Same as you really don't know that Trump's tariff plan won't work.
Your opinion is no more accurate than anyone else's.
We can all debate our opinions all day.......

Only the most TDS blinded folks would doubt Trump at this point.
It's a good thing y'all are the loser minority.

He still lies about what a tariff is and who pays it.

How was the federal government funded prior to income tax, TrannyBoy? Oh that's right, tariffs with which the consumer gets to decide if they want to pay extra for tariffed goods or less by supporting companies that produce in the US.

Not according to your own post......literally the first line "To achieve this goal, we will phase in a system of universal, baseline tariffs on most foreign products"

Trump is stuck on 1950s America with these tariffs.

They didnt work last time they will not work this time.

“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.”

The imporant part is bolded. It promotes inefficiency and not excellence.

Go read r/Canada. They are losing their minds right now. The realization that they don't actually have a country is setting in.

Weve been here, Trump loves to spend money and his tariffs will result on no permanent jobs.

I have my problems with the tariffs as they’ve been presented. But I do think that they could end with permanent jobs here. But that will take a very long time and a prolonged period of pain and adjustment for the US consumer. I don’t think many posters here have an understanding of just how much is being imported that plays a role and their day-to-day in lives and in the running of businesses. Prices are very likely going to go up. I posted last week that we’ve already received notice from our suppliers (we own a business) that they hope for prices to remain steady next year but the 4th quarter is when they’re targeting possible increases and that will be because existing inventories will be emptied out. I guarantee that I will be passing costs along and my margins are healthy. Let’s say I have an item that costs $5 and I mark it up 45% so that becomes a sell at $9.09. Well if the tariffs bump things up 25% the $5 item is now $6.67. If I maintain my margins the sell becomes $12.13. This is how things work in our industry and we work with anyone and everyone and we source from anywhere and everywhere.

Most here think the economy under trump thrived, but it was in sad shape in 2019 and Donny begged the fed to rescue him.

His ego will not allow him to accept less than stellar economic indictors, which means more inflationary pressures coming.

Our results suggest that tariff increases have adverse domestic macroeconomic and distributional consequences. We find empirically that tariff increases lead to declines of output and productivity in the medium term as well as increases in unemployment

Why do you think that is?

Are people really that susceptible to propaganda that they will forget something as soon as five whole years ago?
