If we were earnest about bringing this kind of manufacturing, just have congress pass a law with a 5 year lead up to the tariff and all the sudden you will have rabid reshoring because passed legislation has more permanency than EOs made during emergency/war power presidency.


This fricker still thinks congress is a functioning legislative body.

Are you referring to the Noble Peace prize winner that bombed the shite out of everyone. Don't recall to many Dems screaming that he was a murderer of innocent women and children.

It doesn’t but tariffs passed by it and signed into law have a more serious long term planning effect on businesses. Capital-holding elite are apt to pull their money back and wait 3-4 years with these EO tariffs.

Which proves my point. It isn't about the tariffs. It is all about going against whatever Trump does.


Yeah but why can’t you criticize Trump just once?

"Movements" are for women and soy boys.

Men have individual values, and dont form clubs with ne'er do wells.

How about we just let the man play out his game plan? We aren't privy to the what and whys, so to team USA fans he's playing it out and not freaking out for an incompletion. Team Chyna can feel free to celebrate each of them though.

If tariffs are so great…. Why are these exemptions necessary?

He has no plan, and its extremely obvious.

He will fold to China as well, like he did to the rest of the world.

Ok dude. He may look like he flies by the seat of his pants, but those types aren't projecting their plans for everyone to know how to combat them.

It really is foolish to to think Trump of all people doesn't have it planned out. Even when he's open to the ebb and flows of the battle.

We definitely pussed out on this. More kicking the can down the road by our government. There is something about working in government that neuters men. It’s disgusting.
Trump is more likable when he’s ready to fight after dodging bullets and isn’t all limp-wristed. That White House bedding is too comfortable.

He does. Look how quickly he flopped on the tik tok ban, and defunding the military.

There is no plan. Whomever is in his ear at the time gets the promises.

Adjusting isn't the same as flopping. Tik Tok is still being pushed to be sold.

Defunding the military by a CiC is one I missed.

The narrative always changes to meet Trumps actions, not his promises. They arent one and the same.

He will fold with China, just like he did with the rest of the world.
