Study economics for 1/2 of a semester online and in no time you're going to understand why the world economy use to hold it's balance on the back of the US dollar. Your dear leader Trump is robbing you blind with a smile and you just can't see it. If that was not enough, he's also destroying your beloved country! By the time he's done, China is going to be so far ahead it won't be funny. Start learning Chinese my friend, you're gonna need it! cause they are going to be the next power leader of the world. You can try to MAGA your way out of this but it's going to happen no matter how hard you want to believe your leader's lies.

I know exactly what printing more money means. You wasted a lot of time and bandwidth. The USD is dropping like a rock. It’s been losing its buying power the minute Nixon took us off the gold standard. The Fed and the IRS have been robbing us blind for decades. Not to mention members of Congress, who somehow become millionaires once they get there. Not Trump. Your TDS is showing. It didn’t take long. Anyways, China’s economy is weak right now. Trump has them by the balls. They’ll have no choice but to open their markets. They can pay us money while they fuck around.

Trump's Taquitos can pretend that Tariffman's tariff plans are only a good thing

Real ones see the price hikes and are making adjustments they shouldn't have to make.

Other countries tariff US imports? No problem, please do more.

US wants to tariff imports to use as a negotiation tool and/or better level the playing field? You can’t do that!!!!

We already had a tariff structure, and so did they. He could have picked up a phone instead of lobbing grenades in all directions.

Trump's sending letters begging other countries to come to the table and solidify some deals now. Only a month to go before that deadline. Can he save the big, beautiful 90 deals in 90 days?

Like most MAGA you just can't be reasoned with! It's just a lost cause with you guys. TDS is what you guys have come up with when reason and logic fails. sad!

TDS is what you’ve come up with. Making global trade freer and fair is a good thing. It’s a simple concept TDS can’t accept. Pathetic

Thank you valued poster.

Fair trade is always the goal, politicians all get rich in office and your not Trump is way off mark, he’s made a fortune selling off his wares, loading up w crypto and and issuing his own memes for foreign dignitaries/countries to purchase. It’s no different that Clinton’s donate to foundation to get what you need from me.

As far as taxes keeping up w spending w deficit? How can it w tax cuts for the rich every time someone turns around, the big beautiful tax bill will cost the avg citizen 11k per deficit so a family of 4 making 50-100k yr will save approx 500-1400 a year while costing them 44k. People under 50k actually will save Pennie’s while many losing healthcare or falling behind as going to work is an actual pay cut / living worse off that sitting lazy ass in the couch. Thank god the the rich are going to save well over that 11k cost per person many times over.

Sad thing is many will spend 3 bucks extra in gas and time to save a nickel at the pumps…thinking they really got a deal.

If the real reason for this so called big beautiful tax bill was to create growth, how about a simple 10k credit to all taxpayers no matter what they make? It’s as equal to everyone as one can get, it’ll also get people off the couches. I do agree w the work for able bodies to receive benefits. Covid checks went to everyone, the GDP growth was outstanding as the poorer-middle class bought actual products and services vs the rich socking it in the market.

10k rich or poor, can’t get fairer than that.

Exactly. trump has his taquitos thinking that tariffs are a brand new concept or something. He has his little tacos arguing that paying more for every item is somehow a good thing. MAGA is so fucking dumb. Being in a cult is so fucking stupid.

Very rarely am I in aw of consistently wrong and made up responses but here we are.

Nobody on MAGA wants to pay more for anything. But MAGA does see tariffs as a means to either get better trade agreements or manufacturing moved to onshore. Neither is a hard concept to understand for most. Does it meet your timing of instant gratification? Probably not, but be a little more strategic.

As far as who is in a cult? Would be a great new thread. Cogent, sharp as a tack and other things come to mind as things the left believed and embraced despite what your eyes told you. That is a cult.

He promised prices would come down "on day one". He promised 90 deals in 90 days. Lol. He doesn't even have 1 deal yet.

The market shits the bed when he threatens tariffs and it rebounds when TACO man chickens out. It's not hard to grasp that concept. Markets hate uncertainty, and that's all trump is giving them - uncertainty

And MAGA keeps making excuses for why we need to pay higher prices for everything. Pathetic, cult-like behavior.

Yawn. It’s sooooo scary the S&P is down what about 2% from the peak?

If you were smart enough you invested more in one of the troughs. I know I did.
