Tariffs, trade war

Here’s why.

The US has a deficit….and debts to pay.

The rest of the world is freeloading both by forcing the US to handle all military obligations as well as imposing tariffs on American goods but not the other way around.

The US does pay for countries to have free maritime trade too which is bullshit.

Iran had to be dealt with sooner or later.

I hope the US secures the strait and starts charging for safe passage through it because you’re right….America needs to start making money.

If I were Trump I’d force countries to pay for our naval protections of shipping routes as well as for the military presence in their countries. Like make it profitable for America to be defending your ass kind of money….heck even racketeering…we need the money

I do like that we are plundering our enemies. It’s about time.

Just give America time…she will find her way as she re-structures the world for her benefit once again

Dude the democrats have got nothing….not even a common policy other than “never trump.”

If/When the Iran ordeal ends before the midterms chances are it will be like in 2002. If not then the democrats might have a chance like in 2006

Never Trumpers are conservatives. Whereas democrats are “fuck trump”.

So broad based tariffs aren’t working..who woulda think it.

It’s almost like free trade lowers costs for people. Anybody remember that ?

Conservatives are 90s liberals.

The democrats have done their job and done it well…too well…they’ve served their purpose.

Today Democrats are fuck it all if it’s not woke and yes fuck Trump.

That’s why the midterms will go hard red…not because of MAGA but because the dem party has gone hard left and most Americans aren’t on board.

Hell…people are voting with their feet!

the dems will be out of the picture and the red will splinter into the next two parties…a more moderate red party and a more America first party.

This is what happened after the first civil war as America went more liberal…I say the first civil war because I suspect we will also see another democrat segregationist attempt after they lose the midterms and 2028.

Umm they are?

But to your point then why does China have tariffs?

Why does Ireland have tariffs then?

Let me guess that the end consumers will not receive any refunds on the higher prices they were paying since this tomfoolery. :laughing:

The US also spent over $1tn just on paying interest on its debt, up 14%, and military spending climbed 5% because of the war in the Middle East.

America Israel first!

Epstein got some really good stuff on Trump for Mossad.


Edit:
Of course!!!
