There was a law passed in the 1910s that allowed the president to set tariffs independent of Congress. I agree executive overreach is a problem, but in the scope of tariffs it's been this way for over 100 years. We just never had a recent president so retarded about it.

Sooo who here has a better idea on trade?
Sounds like some are ok getting the shitty end of the deal. Who here would ok a deal that I get 100% and you get -25%?
If you think that's good, let the dealing begin!
Or the U.S.A. can go to war, cutting down the population, of course our NATO countries will run in to help, right after we give them the weapons. There is only a few ways to fix ~100 yrs. of government screw ups and it will hurt. We can kick the can down the road again and let the chi-nas worry about it when they take over. Perhaps islame will take control and no-one will need anything because you will be dead or a slave.
Take the punch like men and get this country back on track, only ~70 days in with the demonturds/rhinoturds doing every thing to keep the spice flowing.

Assuming we were getting a bad deal, there are better ways to go about this. If I want something at work, I don't walk into the meeting with a ball-peen hammer and start swinging or something at the manager. You negotiate. You have to exercise some degree of tact.
I'm not seeing tact here. And if this doesn't shake out in our favor, the favor of US citizens, this is going to be a HUGE loss for the GOP in the midterms if this pain persists that long.

But.... hE's pLaYiNg 4d cHeSs.
Do we not recall the last 4 yrs or 60yrs Or history for that matter?
Our government like all the rest, are nothing more than globalist. The rich use other people's, "money" be it real or your labor.
Without looking it up, how is 2025 shaping up from the last 4 yrs., the choice we had was to vote in a complete surrender to them or stick the biggest asshole in and hope he can SAVE us.
We very much are sitting on a world war, thank you both dem/rep , globalist leeches and for what; so they get rich using our "money".
If President Trump can't break through, who starts the first shot " you know the thing", because that will be all that is remaining to choose.

Assuming? Do you live in the USA?? Why are you backing countries that charge us 250% tariffs over your own country??? I'm fine with the sledgehammer approach. This is what Trump does and he is good at it. He is now president for a second time against all fucking odds. If we survived four years of Bidenfucknomics we can give some time to Trump to right things.

I think the Stocks are still reflecting what Biden did and it will take like 6 mons to a year before we see any improvements ..
could be longer if the fucking judges keep doing what they are doing ..

Market is down 20% since he took office. We are heading into a global recession because trump enjoys having people bow down to him. This is about his ego. If Biden had crashed the market 20% due to ignoring something anybody who watched ferris bueller knows the right wing would be storming the white house with pitch forks. This is what he said yesterday:
“These countries are calling us up. Kissing my a**. They are dying to make a deal,” Trump told a group of Republicans on Tuesday evening, hours before the tariffs were set to take hold. He described foreign leaders essentially groveling to avoid the new tariffs: “Please, please sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything sir.”

Assuming we are getting a bad deal, we are all aware the current deal we have with Canada and Mexico is the usmca which replaced nafta right? That deal was brokered by Trump. So if he doesn't like it..... he can literally look in the mirror. If America is getting ripped off by Canada and Mexico, it's because of him.
Also, Trump caved on the day tariffs were set to go into effect. The world called his bluff. This by default makes him weaker.

The fact is the USA is the richest country in the world not in spite of other countries, but because of it. I don't want my kids sewing shirts and gluing sneakers together. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a trade deficit. Doesn't everybody here have one with wegmans? Or Sunoco?
Vietnam per capita income is like 1/10th what ours is. We pay them pennies to make stuff. The only way to have a trade balance is by these impoverished people buying shit produced at american wages? It's all so silly.

Richest Country in the World? Lmao! Last I checked we are something like 36 trillion in debt. More like poorest County in the World! Anyone can take out loans on interest and look rich. We are a Country that relies on credit. Not sustainable!

Debt to GDP ratio is a good one too.
I do not consider myself "poor" just because I owe more on my mortgage than I earn in a single year.
