Trump, tariffs, unions

[Deplorable Me]

I wonder if the average blue collar labor democrat in the US mills, mines and factories realizes Trump's tariffs will make their union products more competitive in the US market? With a little luck this may break the democrat hold on that segment of the union vote.

It'll be SSDD for the government employee unions.

I don't think adding tariffs will do anything but hurt. We don't want barriers to trade. The better, and harder to achieve, thing would be to get our trading partners to cut their tariffs on our goods.

Are you kidding? He's gonna kill US manufacturing and raise prices for every consumer in many areas. Gonna buy a car in the near future? Better do it now. Daily News cover got it right. He's a clueless clown that's gonna go down...

This.

And unions are worthless.

I'd say "abused" is more appropriate.

Just like most peoples opinions!

 

[Dr. Evil]

He's also going to get us into WWIII. Just sayin.

Right, but I'm not forced to pay for those.

That's actually what is happening as a result of the tariffs. China has already come to us with a plan to change the trade agreement we have to lower the new tariffs against them. Others will follow suit.

 

[Mosinitis]

Most people don't realize it, but "MADE IN USA" is what gave this country its prestige around the world, not globalist dicking around. I believe those days are gone for good and we will never be competitive, but I give Trump credit for trying.

You, me, or anyone who has a fucking clue that isn't an egotistcal narcissist cry fucking baby that reacts like a fucking two year old when someone says something that hurts his thin skinned feelings. Someone who knows how to get along with the rest of the world and not throw what have been our allies forever under the bus.

So why isn't all his MAGA crap "MADE IN THE USA"? Because he's a fucking hypocrite. It's cheaper to be made outside the USA and he uses that to line his pockets.

You are the one that seems awfully touchy.
I am not a big Trump fan, even though I voted for him, but his abrasive manner seems to be getting things done internationally.
Since Europe has a track record of fucking things up royally I have long held the belief that if the Euros don't like it, its the right thing to do.
Europe is scared shitless of Putin so they will take the occasional pimp slap from us. Frankly they deserve it.

Trump doesn't want tariffs at all . he wants other countries to remove tariffs on our goods . if the country doesn't play ball he will hit them with tariffs.

I believe this stems all the back from ww2 . this country was the only one left worth anything in the industrial world. We set up the worlds economy to help friendly countries get back on thier feet . more so during the cold war. we used our economic power over the world to crush the soviet union. These arrangements have been in place for years and no one has fixed it. Time for this to end .

Wow. We have a very different take on the matter. BTW, those allies have been leaching off of us for some time now. Obama got along real well. How'd that turn out? (Rhetorical question, no need to answer lol).

Far from it... He's just a fucking idiot who doesn't have a clue. Watch the news and decide what to do. Someone hurts your feelings, go on a twitter tirade that ant tween could write better and spell correctly. The NT Daily News got it right... 'The clown who plays king': The Daily News takes on Trump for the Fourth of July

Quoting the liberal leaning Daily news huh? I like what he has done so far compared to anyone we have had in recent memory. I couldn't give a shit what his personality is or his idiosyncrasies. We all have them you know. BTW, I don't think he is an idiot at all. I'm a business owner and he is much more successful than me.

 

[Podmonkey]

.....Don't much care for liberals. At all.

^^^ Tenfold. These tariffs on US goods have been occurring for decades. Time to level the playing fields one way or another. We have everything we need here. Hell, we even have a lone state with all its own resources available without outside influence.
"God Bless Texas!"
Hopefully, as demonstrated throughout history, Americans will "man up," and get things done.
Goodbye to unneeded imports that can be produced here. Tic for tac they can take their tariffs off our exports or find someone else to buy their goods.

America isn't going to be great again overnight but here's a decent start. Trump's fucked up in someways but hopefully he's not a failure to the patriots.
The truth will come out.

 

[Jezman]

So our country is forced to pay tariffs and we as middle class people been put in the shitter from them, but putting them on others is bad. This leaves me logically scratching my head at how this is wrong?

 

[Jezman]

Right, but I'm not forced to pay for those.

Sorry man but you can get out anytime you want to I am sure there is no glue on your feet. But hey don't take any of the benefits and extra $ per hour you are making because it is a union shop. I know unions suck but when the hell are people going to realize all pay scales are based off of a union wage? Go to China or Mexico where they are union free and see there pay scales. Shit I have been screwed more then I ever barged for from my union. But I am sure I would not have been making 90,000 a year driving a truck for a non union shop.

And yet you do the same thing on a forum but the president is an ass for doing it. Wowwwww just woweeee.

Kind of the problem with this country is it is tore apart. But most are too dumb to see it. They just start blaming everyone just like everyone blames everyone else. United we stand divided we fall Shit or get off the pot.

...

But your explanations are not childish at all?

 

[GOPerfect]

I think more people in this Country need to pull their heads out of their asses and actually pay some fucking attention to what is really happening in the US as well as the world!

I think more Americans should REALLY learn about tariffs, trade deficits and the like. Seems like there a many, many people that have no clue what they are talking about!

Ignorance is our worst enemy.

 

[kev74]

It seems like some people missed the part of the dialogue where Trump asked European and Asian countries to lower the ridiculous restrictions they put on importing US goods, and promised to raise US tariffs on their goods if they refused. I don't see a problem with this.

The Daily News is the newspaper version of People magazine - it might be entertaining, but there's nothing of substance in there.

As for the tweets - look what they accomplished. They bypass the mainstream news media which reports over 90% negative coverage of Trump while his approval ratings are over what Obummer the seemingly anointed one had a year and a half into his first term. His tweets played a major part in getting the summit with North Korea to happen. That's huge!

Don't be so vague. That's a cop out answer. Who would you prefer to see in his place? One of the other republicans from the primaries? Hillary? Bernie? Bloomberg? Who exactly meets your definition of having a fucking clue and isn't an egotistical narcissist?

 

[GOPerfect]

You know, I like to say that for one day I would love to be able to see the world through the eyes of a Liberal....

Sometimes, all I have to do is come to this forum and I can read some of their direct words.

Such ignorance should not be allowed to be shared!

Some really stupid people. Yeah, I said it, stupid!!
