fruits of tariffs

What is the historical record on tariffs bringing fruit ?


Trump says they will. Where did he come up with that idea....just made it up ? He also said he doesn't care if car prices go up. And he says a lot of other things.


Meantime, a forced recession is looming. Making America great again....?

And, as we all know, Twitler is petrified of "fruits."

I'd like to see at least a concept of a plan for making that happen, amigo. Just a concept...

He always brags that he went to the Wharton School of Business at Penn.

When was he there? The 1890s?

I don't believe economists and the record supports that.

Trump 1.0 had tariffs and no inflation. Canada and Mexico already came to Trump looking for terms during the first round.

In all industries affected by Trump’s 1.0 tariffs, the duties boosted factory employment 0.4% by protecting certain sectors from imports but reduced payrolls 2% by harming the many more fields socked by rising costs, a Federal Reserve study concluded.

Trump 2.0 tariffs:


In a best-case scenario, if tariffs spurred so much new production in the U.S. that it wiped out the entire $1.2 trillion U.S. trade gap, Robert Lawrence of Harvard school of public policy estimates it would create about 1.5 million manufacturing jobs. That’s 1% of all U.S. jobs and a blip in a labor market that sees 5 million workers quit or lose jobs every month, Lawrence and Strain said.


By contrast, if tariffs set off a recession, it likely would mean 3.5 million fewer jobs by 2027, according to Moody’s Analytics.

That's less than B+.

Exactly what they said on last Great Depression. Thanks for the foreboding.

Israel has given in on tariffs.

Another man graduated from a university near the bottom his class ranking. U S Grant was a great general nonetheless. Of course, Biden was at the bottom of his class. Judge them by the fruits of their efforts and not some class ranking.

Grant? Really? How utterly germane to this discussion! LOLLING!!!

Precious b asked you a legitimate question.if there was no inflation under Trump’s 1.0 tariffs, then what is happening today?

(Biden, right?)


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yep....the rest of the story is that 99% of US goods imported to Israel were not subject to tariffs anyway.

Tariffs on US goods into Israel are about $11 million per year.




Recent history?
Trump spent 92% of his previous administration's tariffs on stimulus payments to US farmers, their losses caused by Trump's little tariffs/trade war.
