The trade wars begin

[Phil Titola]

And you think DJT  has put a stop to those windmills?

[bucket]

Oh ya, he ratcheted it up more today!

[Dugout DickStone]

I think this is a solid move as he moves hard libderp in view of the 2020 election.  I expect him to reallocate more wealth as his policies get more socialist

[steve dave]

Oh hell yeah, more of the cool conservative thing we all now love, protectionism!

I'm firmly one of libderp nation now because I don't support protectionist economic policies? gotta swing with that policy pendulum to stay out of libderp nation I guess.

I don't support protectionism either.  I also don't support our so called "trading partners" and so called "allies" imposing near draconian levels of tariffs and targeted fees on U.S. companies in their markets while they enjoy nominal tariffs in relative terms as they sell into the U.S. market.   

But I get it, LipDerp Nation clearly prefers face down ass up relative to trade.

Well this is clearly gonna work to fix the problem and not hurt the American people in the process.

Unless trump does it lmfao

When will the next reallocation of wealth come?  From each according to his ability...

Unilateral protectionism.  Already said that.   But good try, though, you always give it a good try.

Someone Google tariffs for dax and send it to his MSN messenger.

do you guys think don really believes china is paying the tariffs? I think that's an actual thing that could be happening. we can all agree he's a moron so it's in play. that said, he could be just assuming he can talk his voting base into believing china is paying the tariffs, which is in play for similar reasons.

My theory is that originally, Don thought China was paying. He knows better now, but he also knows that it is rube fuel for his base, so he keeps fanning those flames.

[DaBigTrain]

Him being an idiot is something we should have bipartisan support on but sadly you can’t fix stupid, and 95% of Trumpers are stupid.

yeah, I think that's a realistic convergence of dumbassery that could be irl happening.

[star seed 7]

Some of you are underestimating how incredibly stupid the president is.

[IPA4Me]

It's really hard to fathom to depth of stupidity of that man.

[star seed 7]

The dude literally thinks stealth planes literally are literally invisible to the eye

[Dugout DickStone]

 I’d say dumb crap non stop if I had several million rubes who would back it regardless.

[chum1]

Trump for sure believes to this day that tariffs are paid by the other country. There are quotes from former advisers (pretty sure including on this exact subject) about how he simply doesn't listen to them in closed door meetings because ultimately he sincerely thinks that he knows more than everyone else.

Yes Trump is sure a dumbass meanwhile the twitterflies completely miss the fact that just the mention of tariffs has caused the EU to renegotiate with Australia and Argentina and Uruguay to allow the Eu to reduce their share in beef exports.

Yes SD that means that this afternoon Trump will announce that American farmers will be entitled to almost 80% - or 35,000 metric tons - of the annual EU quota on hormone-free beef over seven years, with an initial allocation of around 40%, European officials told reporters in June.

What a dumbass but then again Trump could change his mind before the announcement today at 1:45

It's an interesting general question, though. How often is Trump intentionally misleading dumb, uneducated MAGAs? My guess is very rarely because you have to remember that he, himself is a dumb, uneducated MAGA. He and his people truly are simply on the same page. Also, when he talks/lies I'm not sure he's concerned with anything beyond making himself look better.

So cajoling the EU is a bad thing to increase and open their market for beef exports and idiot approved? You may think about taking this talking point to the FAGA thread .
