Tariffs has been one of the most hilarious fails in a string of fails in the first days of Trump 2.0

What are the others in the "string of fails" wetwillie?

Use adult level words

Note to viewers: Just because #blueanon/#blueanongE melts down about every little thing, doesn't make every thing a failure.  Intelligent people recognize this

Firing federal workers responsible for nukes and then scrambling to re hire them

Turning an easy W with Zelensky into a shouting match in the Oval

Throwing their hands up in the air on domestic inflation which they said they would fix day one

Firing federal workers responsible for nukes and then scrambling to re hire them - There were still 1500 plus people working with that agency - plus the military has scads of nuclear security

Turning an easy W with Zelensky into a shouting match in the Oval  How can any intelligent person say it was an "Easy W" when Zelensky's own people were crying and crestfallen over the actions of the coke vacuum?  

Throwing their hands up in the air on domestic inflation which they said they would fix day one Why do you not hold #blueanon politicians to the same standard you hold Republicans? Why did inflation need to be fixed? . . .and no amount of #blueanon/#blueanongE mansplaining is going to detract from the fact that inflation was and still is an issue.


rough ridin' around with Tarif - So one thing. Check, go it.  :thumbsup: #blueanongE still intellectually incapable of explaining why other countries treating the US unfairly is acceptable, nor a single intelligent explanation as to why them doing that still makes them a good ally

#blueanongE steadfastly refuses to answer why its acceptable for other countries to install so many unfair trade practices against the United States.

The only thing supporting their cuck level logic is that they hate Trump. Intellectually incapable of putting into words why such policies against US trade are acceptable.

Also intellectually incapable of explaining how invoking unfair trade tariffs and VATS against US goods make countries who do that "good allies".

That still doesn't even remotely answer my question.

I am just fascinated by this #blueanongE logic, particularly as said by that giant derp Sandstone.  A good ally promotes an even trading playing field, particularly an ally which sleeps on the warm comfy blanket of US military power.  How can you call someone as good ally who takes and takes, and the reciprocates by tossing huge tariffs and VATS on US goods?

Well you can say that's a good ally . . .and when you do you sound like a massive dipshit.

Sounds like a big you problem.

Also failure to spot buying opportunities  :frown:

There's an entire truckload of issues facing stocks that go well beyond Don Trump.  Smart people understand this.

NVIDIA took hits on Chinese AI - #blueanongE claims - Don Trump

Amazon projected a lower first quarter even before Don Trump took office, and the street isn't entirely pleased with AWS's performance . . . #blueaongE - That's on Don Trump

Why has AWS been hampered, AI chip logistics.  Don Trump - Working hard to bolster CHIP production in the United States.

But in #blueanon/#blueanongE world - Amazon being down a little is all on Don Trump. 

DerpCon Level One thy name is #blueanongE

He's done some good stuff too, I like the Gulf of America thing.  Securing the southern border is a win too imo.

Authorizing increased personnel to the border via military. I think the wall stuff is mostly ineffective so that's dumb. If the tariffs are just a stick to get Mexico to up their enforcement efforts on the border then I like that too, if it is fiscal policy long term then I think that is dumb.

Dax capping for tariffs when they're bad and do nothing but cause the same to happen in reverse and telling everyone else they're dumb cause "well they're trying something!" is peak dax. He's so go at negotiating dont just rock the boat with the gun against your own and eve4ry ones head is a weird opening line. Guess it proves we are that crazy we just might do it again

What does this gibberish even mean?

All I am asking for is simply an even playing field in trade . . . particularly from those countries who rely on US military might to protect them at the US taxpayer expense.

I think that's perfectly reasonable. Hold talks before implementing tariffs. The rhetoric is psychotic. The back and forth is a self-inflicted wound.

This. Even if someone agrees with all of Trump's policies, the rolling out, cutting back, rolling out, wait no we're not implementing them, firing people, scrambling to hire them back, cutting funding to Ebola research/prevention, then laughing about how they did that on accident, is so rough ridin' stupid. You really think this dude and his administration is capable of playing 4D chess? They don't even have the foresight to see the consequences of some of their actions that a four year old could have seen. And I'm only talking about the consequences that they themselves acknowledge.

I mean, how do you bankrupt a casino? And how do you bankrupt THREE casinos?! And how do you bankrupt one casino four times, another casino three times, and yet ANOTHER casino two times? Pure incompetence, or 4D chess?
