#Tarrifs

5 posts4 participants1 post today

#Trump and his #maga party have spent years telling us how they are for the people and not for the powerful, rich and elitist. How they will expose and drain the swamp of the criminals and pedophiles. How he will lower prices all the while prices are going up due to #trumpsalestax on Americans called #tarrifs.

Now we have seen the last several weeks how Trump and the #trumplicans are just like them. They are part of that group: the rich, the elitist and the group of child rapists. The #bigbeautifulbill gives tax breaks to Trump's powerful, rich friends and businesses while taking away from the rest of America. He is part of the #epstein ring. And now they are trying to cover-up things to the point of speaking with the lying and convicted perjurer #GhislaineMaxwell. I wouldn't believe anything she has to say. #MikeJohnson went so far as closing the house early so to help the cover-up.

Always doing official duties as president. Your tax dollars at work. Working hard for America. Going to Scotland to play golf. They love me there.

The EU and Japan don’t share the same approach to .... the US, however. While the EU is preparing countermeasures (two packages of €21 and €72 billion each), Japan is not planning any retaliation, the Japanese official said that “all option remains on the table”.
“Japan and the EU have different approaches because they have different market structures and different economies,”
Not applicable or good reason. says #Palky

The US will withdraw from any organization worldwide that I say so because I say so. Ice will deport whoever they want to. I don’t have time to check and see what anybody’s doing in my administration. They tell me I’m doing a great job. Why would they lie to me? My golf game is getting better. #golf I can play whenever I want and the taxpayer pays for it. I have the greatest job in the world.#Epstein #rich #tarrifs #maga #liar #1stFelon #America #USA #Israel #unitedStates #Trump #tax

Falling out of the sky, doors falling off, murdered whistle blower, Boeing can still sell planes.

All they need is equally corrupt president to hold a gun to the head of economies and countries.

Tribute to the Empire.

Dobt use them domestically Indonesia.

I am sick to death with the ignorance (willfull or not) of the TV bobbleheads about tariffs. They, in general, perpetuate wrong ideas.
.
Import tariffs are a tax on trade, they increase the cost of imported goods and are paid by the consumer, unless there is a very bad sales agreement.
.
When the USA puts tariffs on imported commodities, it increases the cost of the import and raises the domestic price (in the USA) of those goods.
.
It is, in essence, a tax on USA residents and businesses.
.
Yes, it means reduced trade, and that hurts the USA as much as anyone else.
.
Sure, there is an argument for tarrifs when you are trying to protect struggling non-competitive domestic industry.
.
But that is not what Trumps tariffs are about.
.
Trump is deliberately causing disruption and reducing international cooperation. It's all about making him the centre of attention.
.
As with the tarrifs imposed by China on Australian produce, we (the rest of the world) should simply just ignore the USA and strengthen other trade.
.
We don't have to engage if we don't want to.
.
But sadly, the bobbleheads are addicted to hand wringing and moaning. So they will persist with their bullshit.
.
Oh well...
