Do you dispute the above?

Biden cranked up tariffs on China. Did you object?


The Biden administration said Friday that it has finalized tariff hikes on certain Chinese-made products that the president first announced in May.

The tariff rate will go up to 100% on electric vehicles, to 50% on solar cells and to 25% on electrical vehicle batteries, critical minerals, steel, aluminum, face masks and ship-to-shore cranes beginning September 27, according to the US Trade Representative’s Office.

Tariff hikes on other products, including semiconductor chips, are set to take effect over the next two years.

To have my magat control chip installed like all you unthinking trumpanzees? Nah. not for me.

~~~~~~
Too late for you... You've had the Neo-Marxist Democrat Chip inserted into your brain and it's causing rot from the inside out.

 

[Rawley]

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.

The Trump haters are predicting Trump's threats of tariffs will not be effective (evidence of Mexico and Canada to the contrary) and if they aren't, the sky is going fall from high prices. Again history to the direct contrary

Trump's tariffs in his first term did little to alter the economy, but this time could be different

Donald Trump loved to use tariffs during his first presidency

The concern is they will raise prices and they will.

 

[Louis V]

We don’t pay the tariffs, the provider of goods does

yes, you do. Remember, Trump told you he was going to do it. You voted for it.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Am I supposed to believe that democrats now CARE about rising prices?

Where ya been for the last 4 years?

Managing the top performing first world economy in the world in terms of inflation, while you guys were talking about trannies in bathrooms and fat orange rapists being the real victims.

 

[Winco]

Biden did not cut the regulations to get us all Covid 19 vaccine at warp speed. Trump has kept you safe provided you were vaccinated.

Aren't you told to HATE everything about the vaccines, you know, the death jab?

But somehow, you STILL want trump to get credit for this dreaded hateful vaccine.
It doesn't make ANY sense.

 

[Winco]

I’m happy to pay more for AMERICAN products made in AMERICA by AMERICAN workers in an AMERICAN factory owned by an AMERICAN company.

Like ALL of trumps foreign made products.
Ivanka too.

You have been duped again.

I’ve never bought anything from Trump, so that’s not a good example.

Oh, but the POINT was that trump has many, if NOT all, of his merch made in Foreign Countries, like China.

Do you agree with this^^^^ and that trump has products made in China, so MAGA is a Yuge lie.

I know he does, and he’s smart to. It’s the intelligent thing to do currently. As he said to Hillary about taxes in the debate 8 years ago… (paraphrased) “until the law makes it illegal, it would be stupid to do anything else”.

This is why I believe the Republican Party needs to be in lockstep with Trump if he’s going to get anything done. It needs to be encoded in Law that we are an Isolationist nation.

Congrats. From your citation, if you bothered to read it.

WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump loved to use tariffs on foreign goods during his first presidency. But their impact was barely noticeable in the overall economy, even if their aftershocks were clear in specific industries.

The data show they never fully delivered on his promised factory jobs.

As you posted, Trump's tariffs were a failure.

And now you support Einstein's definition of insanity.

Kudos.

If the leader doesn't buy American, how do you expect people who aren't worth billions of dollars to?

It's gotten to the Point of........and it's Worse NOW.......that whatever trump says MUST be supported 100%....... No matter what.

They truly cannot think for themselves and have their OWN opinion.
They must support the OPINION of trump.

Congrats, you fell for his lie that Americans should buy from America. When like Trump they would be better off financially to buy from overseas.

Just like it's cheaper to pour used motor oil down the drain, or into the sewer than it is to properly dispose of it.

Trump is the apex of "me me me me me"

Because an intelligent individual is going to do what’s best for themselves financially until that is not a legal option anymore. It’s only us ideologues who do things which may not be in our financial best interests because we believe in something.

Trump is not an ideologue. Never has been. That’s why I haven’t voted for him in either of the last two elections.

What we need is Laws in place to prevent international criminal business being done into or out of this country.

 

[Orangecat]

We know that tremendously higher prices are coming for most of the goods we consume.

From China. From other countries who tariff our exports. From countries who use slave labor to control manufacturing costs.
Tariffs are good for US manufacturing and, by extension, US workers.

Let's look at that first line: Because an intelligent individual is going to do what’s best for themselves financially until that is not a legal option anymore.

Someone who believes that, has to also support abortion on demand.

Or be a complete hypocrite.
