Tariff impact, can't get clearer than this

[damonCA21]

I do agree going too far either way never works. At least with someone in the centre you don't get extreme ideas that don't work.

Trumps problem is he is trying to do too much all at once and makes half thought out decisions without getting the experts to plan them properly

Will be interesting to see how trump reacts to the events yesterday

This is why having a two-party system sucks. And it feels like lately it's either you're far left or you're far right and you can't fall in between... Or at least it's not accepted that you fall in between.

I said it before, I voted for him the first term... I leaned more towards his policies and felt like Hillary was going to be 100 times worse than Trump. I still agree with some of Trump's policies, but I feel like people let him get away with too much s*** that they should not let him get away with and America is suffering for it.

.

Seems like nowadays people don't get that you can vote for the lesser evil, and still call out things that are bad whether it's your party or the other party that's in office.

I don't think Trump is what caused it, but I do think Trump being in office and the way he treats his opponents has amplified it a lot. He seems to think if you don't agree with his policies that makes you the enemy... And he's not afraid to say it and repeat it and drill it into everyone's head that that's the way it is.

I don't mind people who are hardcore mega... I was sad to hear about Charlie Kirk yesterday, I watch him on YouTube all the time.... I felt like he is what a true Republican or Democrat should be.... He was pretty much always respectful, even if you did not agree with his views he was just there to provide facts and talk about his viewpoint, he didn't expect people to change their mind and was only there for the conversation and to spread awareness. I didn't agree with everything you said, but at least what he said he backed it up with reasoning that most people could understand, and at least see why he felt the way he did. He never resorted to name calling or bullying, and he didn't deserve anything that happened to him.

I wish more people were like him, on both sides of the fence.

Kristallnacht is coming closer...

Crystal Night may already be here

well then maybe you should simply start listening to Billboard Chris, the Canadian Charlie
...and stop invoking the latter's name as if to feign some new form of morals yet to be expressed here.

Our business is sheet metal fabrication.
Our policy has always been to source locally wherever it is practical.
We are experiencing huge inflationary cost increases - materials, tooling, freight, subscription services, etc.
The US clearly lacks the manufacturing capacity to onshore enough to significantly offset imported products.

We have been competing with China for years and done quite well.
Tariff rhetoric sounds good but somebody has to pay the toll — tariffs are a flat tax with a different name.
I do not think it will not end well.

Since I’m new here, I will make my political views known
I live in a bright red county and I voted republican for 45 years
My extended family is republican and we have spawned a couple generations of new right wingers.
We have our own cozy echo chamber here.
I was thrilled when Trump won and I like most of what he does.
I hate the progressive agenda, the green agenda and wokeness.
I am very happy to see the pendulum swing.

All that said - Trump’s economic policies are a huge disappointment to me.
Too abrupt, scattered, poorly executed and closely aligned with the goals of the billionaires.

Hold on to your pantyhose, we are in for a change of the status quo. The frustration you are experiencing is change in right direction. Trump is moving the needle towards America first and not only that but each and every country for their own first. Start taking care of your own citizens. What you are used to is the globalism way. In order to get rid of income tax we must replace it with something, and that something is tariffs. Change in the right direction isn't easy. Change it the wrong direction is super easy (such as - FREE FREE FREE! -- There is no thing such as free, someone has to pay at some point).

I feel like I have to inform you that there is actually just one party. There are far and few between that are actually putting the citizens of the USA first. It should just be called the politician party. Most of the people in office are sell outs and selling out the American people and taking the tax dollars for their own interests. Look at what was discovered with all of the USAID spending and the pockets and purposes that money actually went into. Research the politicians that are in office for your state and see what they have voted for their whole career. There is a reason why the people who should be representing the citizens are not in office (fake news, threats, etc).

Trump's ideas aren't extreme at all. In fact, Trump is actually a very middle of the road (common sense). I would consider him a centrist. The left has gone so far extreme left making the middle look extreme right.

Apparently far right now mean's you are against:
- crime-ridden cities
- child mutilation
- foreign terrorists invading the U.S.
- celebrating murder
- porn in schools
- drug cartels killing Americans
- career criminals roaming free
- subway stabbings

Everyone should be against these things, but the "left" is pushing them with the help of main stream media and paid off politicians.
