Trump says Americans could feel 'pain' thanks to tariffs on Mex, CA, China

[Lartinos]

“ Donald Trump said people in the US will feel "some pain" after he imposed tariffs on trade with Canada, Mexico and China.
The president defended the duties on imports to the US, which will place duties on billions of dollars of trade.
What's next?
Economists and diplomats have signalled hope the trade tariffs will be temporary.”

Weak sauce, fall in line and do what's right, stop opposing America.  That's the ask

MAGA!!!!

Those supporters are really going to feel some pain when the price is jacked up on his crappy grifting items.  China might decide not to produce any items for him anymore.  Canada already is pulling all US alcohol from it's shelves and sending it back.

"America's southern border usually gets all the attention regarding migrants crossing into the United States. But in the last few years, the northern border has received the largest amount of crossings in its history. Join the Clinton County, NY Sheriff's Office and me to better understand what's happening between the US/Canadian border."

Trump's Canada, Mexico, China tariffs suspend loophole behind fentanyl shipments

President Donald Trump's new tariff orders against Canada, Mexico and China all contain clauses suspending a duty-free exemption for low-value shipments below $800 that is widely seen as a loophole that has allowed shipments of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals into the United States.

Staunching that flow was a primary motivation cited by Trump in imposing sweeping import taxes on goods on the three largest U.S. trading partners.

You realize that is fentanyl shipments are stopped, that the rush from the dregs in the red states to jump the wall into Mexico is going to increase.  Not a bad thing though.

FUCK TRUMP. Guy is a worthless piece of shit just like the rest.

[SF1900]

Him and his billionaire friends will be fine but we all have to feel the pain.

Got it!

Same old crap, different politician. Just reinforces why I don’t vote and don’t follow politics all that much.

Feel free to enlighten us

Nobody said he was.

But you can't even respond in your own words at this point.  It's more spoon fed youtube videos.  Did you even bother to click the link I posted?

We are not measuring Biden in weeks, but in the 4 year trend, and from where he started - prices DID bump up and down, but overall increased.

Trump is only being measured in weeks, because that's how long he's been in office.  To draw definitive conclusions about this is the equivalent of judging a baseball player after after a few games.

I think you really did think your food prices might drop instantly.

What's the point?

It's been said plenty of times here.  People just react how they want to.

I do not believe the tariffs are permanent. I believe they are a negotiation tool.  If I'm wrong, we'll see.  I've never been afraid of admitting it.

The US has tremendous leverage in this situation. Let's see how it plays out.

The reality is prior admins let the bullshit go on too long, and then ran a candidate who showed absolutely NO reason why it wouldn't continue.  That's why Trump became necessary.  Going to be a bit hectic for awhile, but he's doing exactly what he said he'd do.

No worries.  I'm no econ expert, but from a macro lens I would think large tariffs on our two closest neighbors is not sustainable, or good for any of us long term, even with our leverage.

But it's truth that Mexico has enabled (with the help of Biden's admin) a ridiculous amount of folks to come in illegally.  We all do believe in opportunity and the American Dream, but at some point math kicks in and makes it prohibitive and undermines that.  That's when draconian border closings, mass deportation, and economic threats become necessary.

Extreme partisanship and TDS contribute to making it even more chaotic than it should be.
