I'm having a hard time understanding how you think that I think it's "smart," to NOT put blanket tariffs on EVERY Nation(but Russia).

No...I'm not "that smart," it's just the person who implemented these(illegally by the way, tariffs are supposed to go through both houses) is just that dumb and then there are people like you who...have absolutely NO clue what you're talking about.

 

This is like threatening China and Russia with War at the same time and people saying, 'hey, that's a bad idea,' and then people of your ilk saying, 'if it's such a bad idea, why aren't YOU president or advising the President!'

 

I guess when you laugh at the idea that US is leading in AI, it may make sense that someone pointing out the market dumping 20%...in a BULL Market is a BAD thing, that may be confusing to you. 

To most people, they understand that.

Gee I wonder if tariffs are being used in the negotiations to end the war in Russia.  Smh.  Russia will get their share if they don’t comply.  Most people understand that.

Biden already did that when he allowed Russia to waltz into Ukraine. Then Russia and China hooked up as no limits partners.

So tariffs are going to ruin America but the tariffs the other countries are “swinging back” with are harmless to themselves.  Got it.

No, they certainly are. That's a big part of the reason for the crash. The trade war is a regressive tax on the poor and it also hurts exporters. We can isolate ourselves bow while rest of the world works together. Great plan. 

I'm good though. I ate 3 servings of popcorn today and had Bloomberg on in the background. It was a Fiesta. Love seeing fat boy fail.

You're REALLY DUMB if u think politicians typically try to do " the right thing." 

Expand  

It's much nicer to not have to read THAT particular brand of clueless nonsense. 

"leaders in AI????????? OMG."

That...that was when I realized there was likely not much texture to his grey matter.

I do actually think politicians OFTEN try and do the right thing. I think Bush did with the Economy. I think Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan, Clinton...Biden. I really do think they GENERALLY tried to do the right thing. Always corruption. There were no bid deals given to Haliburton under Jr that were obviously corrupt.

 

When they bailed out the banking industry though, reportedly, he wanted to give the banks that money, but he wanted to do it in a way that it would cover those mortgages that had been impacted and pay off the difference of the people who were upside down. So you'd be taking the bad debt off the book, you'd assure the American people they had their money secure and help prevent a depression. 

Obama answered(well, David Axelrod) "there is only one president at a time."

Obama wanted to bail out the auto industry and he wanted to cut the deficit(they all do). But he had that freeze in spending. 

Bush Sr wanted to raise taxes to cut the deficit.

 

I think they generally try to do their best. I just think this particular guy is different. He's more about his own ego(to think you can lead the US..they all do, but him in particular) and he's just not smart. 6 bankruptcies including casinos.

Who said that?

This is quite literally what I told you would happen...it'd start off a trade war. What did you think would happen?

Countries that have 1.6 effective tariff rates would just sit there and take 32% tariffs? 

 

Did I not point out Japan, China and South Korea forming an alliance(which you didn't understand). Now you're just repeating lazy talking points and Tweets and claiming I said this would put us in a depression literally 12 hours later.

It's not just that, but he lied when he implemented them. Claiming these were "reciprocal." Absolutely baffling how Jimmy can say "when other Countries swing back their harmless." Jesus Christ...how many times has it been pointed out THAT was why it'd get so bad...

But the way he just made up numbers. Last time when he had qualified people in place to TRY and reign him in...that was at least something, but when 40 of the 44 members of your past cabinet don't endorse you...that's telling.

Who does he have to be to call them out?

He talked about how he was going to bring back tariffs and then when Harris said his plan was to use blanket 20% tariffs, he...very clearly called HER a liar.

 

He's put MORE than 20% tariffs on our largest trade partners.

Sure Jimmy. Trump...literally said Countries aren't afraid of the "threat" of tariffs, then the White House said, 'well, they have so many sanctions.'

But sure...it's really just because he's going to end that War....that he said The Ukraine Stated.

he seems pretty smart to me.

now if we can just get him with the attitude of taking it to these other countries for once.

 

so many people claim it's trump that wants NATO to pay... and all these other countries to pay for these tariffs.

Well, these ideas existed many years ago... Ron Paul wrote a book, and I think Trump read it.

With experts like him around I can’t for the life of me realize how we ended up $36 trillion in debt.
