just have congress pass a law with a 5 year lead up to the tariff and all the sudden you will have rabid reshoring


We desperately need to elect better representatives. Congress is a pathetic cesspool of corruption and rot. And it’s absolutely 100% the fault of us as a citizenry. We elect and re-elect these people.

The founding fathers have us an amazing and beautiful gift. The ability for people to constantly choose their representatives and shape their future and their freedom. We chose poorly.

We have absolutely failed as Americans and that failure seems to be too much to fix at this point. The two natural questions remain: when will the current system break and what will replace it?

Anything other than massive tax, regulation, spending, and federal government reform is basically equivalent to a bandaid on a gunshot wound at this point. But we haven’t experienced pain yet. Americans haven’t felt true pain or cost or pressure in over 5 decades. And it shows.

Damn this is disappointing


Trump is folding on everything. Bringing back illegals as legal workers, pausing tariffs for 90 days except on China, now starting to put exemptions on some Chinese products.

He is quickly losing my support. It’s becoming apparent he is caving to big corporations interests and not the interests of regular Americans. America first my arse.

I don't like that he's not banning TT out right. Heck I don't like his h1b stance, DST stance, but I'm definitely not going to root for him to lose this like you and others are.

sad how your hatred for him has you pounding your chest on this to happen to our country. I guess you are looking forward to the biggest boner you've had in decades for the day you can come celebrate said "loss".

Why would people invested in this economy want it to fail?

Do you folks ever think this through?

Which part is "fake," Roger?

The fact China got bitchslapped at 145%,
The fact that the rest of the world is tariffed at 10%, or
The fact that libs claim Trump folded?

No clue what you are talking about. You are the one bleeding your period all over the board for every move. As if you know what the gameplan is

To add...you and others are like the girls in the stands that freak out over a missed route or tackle for a loss in the 1st drive of a game.

Why not make it 500%

"bitchslapped.." Lol.

The man just randomly throws out numbers and the Zoomers and Wrestling fans think its awesome., while proving y'all have zero understanding of trade.

He'll fold just like he did with the rest of the world.

You don’t fix America without pain. Apparently he has no stomach for pain.

Get the illegals out and end the bullshite welfare system to able bodied people under 65 years old. Get Americans back to work. Get industry rebuilt in this country. End reliance on foreign manufacturing and industry. Stop subsidizing single parenthood.

Some of that is on the government. Some of that is on us. The narcissistic atheistic evil cultural rot we have allowed to overtake every form of entertainment and social interaction in this country is bizarre.

Anyone celebrating or defending Trumps plan to fast track illegals back here because hotels need them if their old bosses says so is pathetic. There are plenty of Americans who can fill those jobs. And if there are not, then the business can’t be supported. Some companies may not make it, some industries may undergo changes, some pain will be felt. So be it.

Can’t wait for everyone on poliboard to tell me this is a tactical retreat and that the jobs were never the point.

Trump can bankrupt them and murder their families and they would look him dead in the eye and say thanks

Apple and sumsung are making computers in China and they got exempted.

Intel is making chips in US and it suffers 125% tax from China.

AMD is making chips in Taiwan. No Higher taxes in US and China.
