How will the Trump tariffs actually work ?

[Captain Caveman]

There is no system in place to smuggle in millions of cars or other large items.

Cars tend to get stolen and smuggled out!!

 

[Mac-7]

Americans will not pay the premium.

Thats the idea

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Thats the idea

It really isnt. Even trump isnt that dumb.

 

[Man With A Plan]

That isnt his actual policy tho it would make more sense.

That isn't what he did in his first term, Tommy? Let's get real here!
The problem with the left's claim that Trump threatening tariffs will cause rampant inflation are belied by the fact that it never happened in his first term. Inflation never went above 2% during Trump's term despite his imposing tariffs on China.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

So you’re saying that people will spend $90 on a bottle of good scotch but not $100?

I doubt that.

Possibly they will. But explain how that 100 dollar bottle brings back jobs ?
And of course the extra tarriff taxes are cash that they might spend on other things.

His first term was shambolic. He seems more organised this time.

The tariff will cause Americans to buy fewer chinese products

Thats the idea and its a good one

Shambolic? Before Covid Trump's first term was actually pretty spectacular, Tommy.

Why ? Rich folk will be ok. They will always be ok. Its the poor that will suffer.
