Tariffs a Good Idea. Everything I buy now is made in China.!!$?$

[candycorn]

It will be a win in the long run.

Your blob put tariffs on imported cars in his first term. American cars are still much higher than imports.

When is the “long run” going to yield cheaper American cars?

 

[rightwinger]

It will be a win in the long run. Unlike Biden who tried to kill fossil fuels and ended up making everything more expensive for four years.

Biden drilled more than Trump had

He also opened the door for green energy

It won’t.

Especially when American cars contain so may foreign parts

You will just pay $6000 more for the car you buy regardless of its brand

First of all, Biden never did anything. We really don't know who did what because Biden was senile. Biden's administration only opened existing permits because of the high gas prices that negatively impacted his political stance. He 'they' still closed of new fields and still had green policies that made it difficult. Prices are still through the roof. There is no such thing as 'green energy.'

So no answer. Got it. You just have faith that insane actions are the right thing to do because you are in love with an orange man for some reason. Uh. Ok.

I gave you an answer. You don't like it. Tell the truth. Now, go change your diaper.

I wish everything on-line (Amazon!) stated country of origin. So difficult to buy made in USA.

And sometimes, it says so but is not!

 

[Leo123]

And sometimes, it says so but is not!

That should be illegal.

 

[Jarlaxle]

It is. But the tires Summit advertised as US-made were from China.

Probably a year or so

 

[hjmick]

Ringwinger is. He orders his condoms by the gross from N. Korea.

Trump's tariff could wipe him out.

There were no tariffs for North Korea. Or Russia. Or Belarus.

Memorial Day is approaching and so is Independence Day. The thought of flying a Flag made in China makes me cringe.

 

[Missourian]

Only Trumps tariffs will only bring manufacturing if the cost of goods is close.
Products made in China, India, Mexico will still cost less even after a tariff

But will they be cheaper enough to make the hassle worth it. Shipping, customs, language barriers.

Every link in the logistics chain is one more potential problem in the making. "Cost" isn't simply monetary.

On the micro scale, if Walmart is five miles away and Publix is one mile away, there are many times you are going to Publix when going to Walmart will save you money. Time, hassle and aggravation are also costs.

"A White House official told The Hill in a statement that the four nations [including Cuba] “are not subject to the Reciprocal Tariff Executive Order because they are already facing extremely high tariffs, and our previously imposed sanctions preclude any meaningful trade with these countries.”"

And yet Iran, perhaps sanctioned just as much, was slapped with a tariff by Trump. How much trade do we do with Iran? Not nearly as much as we still do with Russia, despite the sanctions.

No. There is no specific additional tariff on Iran, not that it would matter. Anything you read applies to the flat 10% bottom....

With their forced peoples slave labor pool, President Trump should impose a 250 % Tariff on all Chinese goods imported from China. Everything I buy now, is made in China.!!??!! The United States would make Trillions of dollars a year, and solve the huge budget deficeit, and trade imbalance in a few months.!!??!!,

 

[yeh]

Chinese "goods" should be called Chinese bads.

 

[shockedcanadian]

America.and the/West are funding our own demise. 1000s of Ukranians dead each week, killed by Chinese weapons and direct financial support to Russia. Israel found weapons Made in China when they stormed the lairs of Hamas. Iran is receiving weapons and funding from CPP and MSS. How stupid have we become? Are we setting ourselves up for an early grave? Will G-d accept us when he knows that we are all responsible for thr demise of so many via our passive support? Biden help a special broadcast to warn about MAGA. Trump should broadcast in detail the fight against China and what losing means for Mankind. The world is choosing America, we must not bend now. Canada and Europe will do whatever America demands as long as you lead
