https://finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/trump-tariffs-cost-2020-research-151755274.html Aren't trade wars easy to win? 🤔
Hey tmDe is back for the daily trump hate. Don’t YOU have any problems to worry about?
We have Dave Chapelle and South Park, you have Nickleback. Sad!
Don’t you have carts to collect?
So, what exactly did we pay more for? Core inflations down I haven’t noticed anything. But I guess if yahoo wrote an article it must be true...
If you buy imported items, for example electronics, you will pay the tarifs. Tariffs are not a tax on China, they're a tax on US consumers that buy chinese products.
Can you provide some examples of specific items that have increased in price? Like I said I haven’t seen anything and no one’s ever shown any examples. I mean you realize that China devalued their currency by over 10% that and people are willing to take some haircuts on margins means it’s very doubtful that consumers in the US have seen any real increases. Certainly haven’t noticed any myself
Everything is “easy” when you’re delusional
People buy too much stuff anyways.
Fake news!
Tell your bosses that LOL
I am the boss
In every trade war, the consumer loses and they’re always the ones paying for it because prices go up. This also throws away decades’ worth of negotiation and stabilization. It’s a simple concept and yet this whole presidency willingly throws that away. Americans are just too stupid to understand that. And if it hurts the Trump supporting base, like the farmers, they’re given handouts aka “golden crutches”.
OK but you’re ignoring all the second order effects like currency devaluations, subsidies, and ability of importers and exporters to reduce their margin. Not to mention import source replacements. You seem like someone who is just pushing a narrative versus a serious analysis. Just saying
There’s no narrative. It’s researched science and proven fact that the consumer has the short end of the stick. Everyone that reduces margins has a limit and the usual fix is to raise prices which is a waterfall effect to the consumer. Diplomacy and soft power have been thrown out the window. Also, everything you just mentioned goes both ways to both countries. But sure, give Trump the benefit of the doubt, he’s doing amazing work for the American people with his unmatched wisdom lol.
Good! Stop kowtowing to one party dictatorships that want to censor you’re life!! Happy to pay for this
Would rather pay that money to US companies instead of to governments, foreign or domestic
That’s where our currency is going long term. Trump is making USA-made viable again, slowly but hopefully surely.
