Who the hell said it would be a 45% tariff................again we negotiated these deals before and we are still here............since then the jobs...........not so much.Where did you come up with 50%.............did you pull it out of your ass. Who the hell said that would be the final deal. Before Free Trade countries sat down and negotiated deals.......win some lose some, but in the end it was one on one and finally deals were made.Yeah, that was some hyperbole…look it up in “The Art of the Deal”…Trump says to use it.Show me where it costs that much for a Fiesta..............you are grasping at straws...........and even going completely against your normal party stance on Free Trade, unless you are up the establishments ass.![]()
Great Graph if it's a ski resort.
And what is The Don going to do to rectify that? Oh yeah, tariff goods, drive the costs of what we buy upward and maybe once a Ford Fiesta costs $75,000, they may consider making them in the US again….perhaps.

Meanwhile, ironically, Toyotas are made in Texas, Hyundais are made in Mississippi and Georgia if I recall, Mercedes are made in Alabama.
When you have a consumer driven economy and wages are not raising, you have economic problems. Good thing Donald is for higher wages.
Oh wait:
Donald Trump said wages are 'too high' in his opening debate statement
Turns out he thinks you make too much money.
Never mind. He has nothing.
Once you slap tariffs on it, it will cost more to import them. $13,200 is the sticker price. A 50% tariff will jack it up to $19,800. Also keep in mind the profit of the dealer, financing over 60 months, etc… You’re looking at about 25K
Still waiting to hear what Mr. Trump will do….
Cruz wants to add 16% to the cost of everything..........the Tariff doesn't do that.
FInally, who the hell can live on the wages they pay in Mexico here. It guarantees our companies leave.
A 45% tariff on goods from China and Mexico would increase prices more than a VAT.
A 45% tariff would probably also cause the Dow to fall 3000-5000 points as investors would worry about trade wars and a retreat from globalization. A VAT would not.
Common sense tells you that when you ship millions of jobs out of the country you fuck our workers and create jobs elsewhere.........You can preach it all you want. We will never agree.
