Rising prices don't decrease demand?
Cool. I learn so much new stuff here, every freaking day.
Eventually, but he will cave before it gets to that point.
As I was explaining to someone else on here, with the 5% tariff, most retailers will up the Mexican goods by 2 to 3 percent and then add a percent or two to 100 other times to even it out. This way they do not lose the market base for the individual products and the changes are small enough to not be noticeable.
Your concerns about his caving, and that the tariff is too small to really hurt them, are valid concerns.
ON the other hand, let US remember that the alternative to TRump, is for America to keep being the World's Bitch on Immigration and Trade.
Do you believe that Mexicans have the RIGHT to move into our nation, and stay here, regardless of our wishes?
I do not think that they do, I just do not think that the tariff is the ultimate tool to fix every problem.
