Maybe Donald Trump really does believe that “tariff” is the most beautiful word in the dictionary.
Despite higher prices, criticism from trade experts and displeasure among voters, Trump holds fast to his belief that imposing the highest import duties on U.S. trading partners since the Great Depression is a winner.
A recent poll suggests that is a big gamble with less than a month before the Nov. 3 midterms. Most U.S. adults disapprove of his trade policies, with more than 64% saying he has gone too far with his latest tariffs, compared with 58% in January.
He is such a moron. It’s exasperating to hear him talk about “all the money we have coming in”. Money that is basically a regressive tax on everyone. That money is from US.
What makes it even worse is he thinks it is his personal slush fund to just hand out to whoever he pleases.
Has he set a policy to support american production?
Because, theorically, the point of making imports more expensive is to protect the national economy from international competitors. And even if it comes with the drop of the world leadership USA had, it could help american companies to develop better… but that need the hire those who live in the US to produce that americans need, at a price they can afford.
From outside, it seems there are a lot of jobs replaced by AI, and very few jobs newly created. Should it be true, I don’t see how protectionism could help american economy, and even less american people (but I would not bet he cares of the people).
If all you know is a hammer, things like screws are way too complicated.
He literally does not understand how they work.
Also, he doesn’t give one diaper-inflating shit whether or not voters approve of them.
They’re just his way of manipulating the market.
I don’t trust Americans to do the right thing.
Let him cook
It’s a bold strategy cotten…
We never said he was smart
Unfortunately, we have a lot of stupid people in this country and they gravitate to washed-up never-was con artists like donnie.
