Tariff Man and his tariff plan cause market plunges

Here's a hint, boys. % of GDP. Why you need to widen your perspective instead of just focusing on the total value of the trade deficit.

Anyone care to map this against increases to the tariff schedule?

Can anyone point to tariff increases leading to long, sustained increases in U.S. manufacturing employment? In Ag?

What percentage of daily forex is USD? What is the avg daily trade in USD? How does that compare to the total annual trade deficit?

Until you have answers for those you're not even remotely ready to have real discussions about this let alone solve the trade deficit (which isn't even agreed upon as a problem) on a hooker board.

Can, but you're instantly attuned to dimiss anything I provide.

On queue, the docking fees have come up again as he walked back last week's tariff threats.

You cant


Leave the government shut down. ����

President Trump is about to prove what they never wanted you to understand, that America doesn’t need the Federal Reserve or the IRS to survive.

Through tariff-based revenue, America can fund its government directly through the power of trade and production, not through debt slavery and income taxation.

When America controls its tariffs, it controls its destiny.

No middlemen. No global bankers. No Fed manipulation.

The shutdown exposes the truth, We never needed them.
We only needed a leader willing to pull the plug.

Checkmate. ♟️

There's nowhere near enough tariff revenue for that, Bam.

Meanwhile, we the people are on the hook for over half of the tariff cost so this year and we are projected to pay 70% of it next year.

So much for the foreign governments paying those tariffs

Well, you've been wrong so often I can understand why you say that. But rest assured - I approach each of your posts with an open mind and an unshaken hope that you will finally say something I won't have to debunk and dimiss (sic)!

So stop being so terrified of telling everyone what you really think, IN YOUR OWN WORDS.

Mr. Gristle is right, bam. Tariffs alone cannot fund the federal government, even if we drastically downsize it with an Elon Musk chainsaw. This is 2025, nor 1895.

(See Gristle, like a broken clock you can be right twice a day... and I'll even admit it!!)

By the time Trump gets done hacking it up, it may be the size of 1895. There’s going to be other things that are going to happen. Things that you aren’t expecting. I wonder when Mr Gristle gets a tariff rebate check will he burn it?


BAHAHAHA

Anyone happen to have a good argument for what the national security concerns are behind the tariffs on kitchen cabinets and upholstered furniture?

BTW, my 50 plus year stock ownership has hit record highs.

Goddamn Trump sucks, for you.

Hell yeah.

It's well known that intelligence agency's recruit Mormons, because they are averse to being wooed by offers of sex.

Obviously they are recruiting Amish now, and laundering money through Amish built kitchen cabinets and upholstered furniture businesses makes sense.

Hire Levi Yoder, he offs Kim Fong Fu, and pay the taxes on the cash, its called laundering.

That was not in the rationale, Devo. But I love the imagination and the energy
