Tariffs drives up cost of Barbie. Marrel moves Production to.......India

[Tommy Tainant]

Tether them then China

Especially when it helps are trade

How does it help ?

You over react like a big girl. All it means is that Americans pay more for their goods. Price isnt going up over here.

It means more than that. It means an attempt to make the products again within the continental United States. Your nation destroyed itself. It had to come hands out to our nation and then get us into World War 2. Our leaders of course lied us into WW 1 and WW 2. And we are now closer to a world government.

How does it help ?

Because they are offering a zero for zero tariff.

Wow this stuff is really over your little head

Barbie maker raises prices due to Trump tariffs as Ford warns of $1.5bn cost

Toy company Mattel says it will reduce imports into the US from China to below 15% by 2026

www.theguardian.com

It must be a nightmare doing business under the Trump lunacy. Instead of building a better doll they are trying to seond guess a crazy old man,

Corporations plan years in advance but planning isnt possible when the environment changes every day.

Meanwhile Mattel adjusts by moving production from China to India. That isnt really the result that donny was aiming for.

Anyway Barbie isnt popular in Maga circles so it doesnt really matter.

So in your world a company shifting production from China, our enemy, to India, our ally, is...bad?

You people are so fucked up.

You have put tariffs on all your allies. You treat friend and foe alike.

Why not, they are doing away with their tariffs. Means it will be good for both countries. Looks like they are going to start making iPhones.

I see you have given up the debate on this trump failure.

/—-/ There is nothing to debate.

 

[Mac-7]

Please. You can't go to a trailer park in America without running across at least one naked barbie missing her arms laying about somewhere.

Anyway, if it screws China Trump is probably okay with it even if it doesn't mean USA made Barbie dolls.

No Barbie dolls is the least of our worries

We depend on china for much more than that

The washington establishment sold out to china and now we have to pay for their stupidity

Its as simple as that

Indian tariffs on American goods are far higher than our tariffs on them.

Why doesn't that bother you?

They weren't offering zero for zero tariffs until we put tariffs on them. What are you talking about?

The point was to get better trade deals, in doing so, jobs yes, should come back.

But the main point was to get better trade deals.

Tommy, you are greatly out of touch

There will be one of these announcements every day as trumps tariffs implode.

India is looking to do deals and open up its economy.They just signed one with the UK today. Credit trump for doing fuck all.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

"Marrel"? You mean 'Mattel'?
I've seen typos before, but that one takes the cake.

Thats a possibility

You are from the land of bad teeth and may not understand American football

But a great college football coach who was famous for running the ball one said:

“There are 3 things that can happen when you throw the ball. And 2 of them are bad“

But throwing the ball in the Game of The Century won the victory

Trump may fail, but he also may win big

Good for India....yes Trump might of opened the eyes of some of these other countries, like India. India's spent three years trying to get the UK to a better deal, finally it paid off.

No. The UK just got weaker.

It’s a desired result, it takes production out of China who has less favorable trading tariffs than India. India has a more favorable trading pact.

The jobs can go to other countries, as long as it hurts China, the country that probably released the Covid virus that killed millions all over the world.
