If tariffs are bad for the country using them, why are countries tariffing America back? Sure seems irrational for countries to harm themselves to spite America.
If tariffs are bad for the country using them, why are countries tariffing America back...
are you fucking retarded perhaps
Tariffs are bad for everyone and the US isn't the only country tainted by protectionigger lunacy.
if tariffs are good, why do you have a problem with them joining America in doing what you believe is an obviously good thing?
Tariffs are good when Europe and China do them but bad when America does them ok chuddie???
just accept that
Them tariffing America is a good thing. Nations should be more self-reliant on not dependent on sucking America's teat for everything.
Experts and economists in fact ask not to do so. It is to make more holes in the boat.
But national pride is worth more. Besides, these countries have had China as a major partner for decades. The United States is not economically important
I don't. I'm hoping to help encourage it by actively posting and trolling yuros. I'm even telling you this openly because you're guaranteed to do the opposite of what you think I want.
uhhhh, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO ASK THAT QUESTION OKAY.
China
trade partner
China malignantly flooded the EU with cheap EV's and completely killed the Eurozone's EV sector and car manufacturing base LOL. Nobody likes Europoors, you are children that exist only to steal candy from.
you're guaranteed to do the opposite of what you think I want.
I don't want tariffs, retardio
For deterrence
China offered a product, people decided to buy it. The European EV market, receiving benefits from everywhere, aimed at the luxury market. They lost the bet.
You think it was easy for a chinese car to compete with a European brand's reputation.
Selling cheap goods to the consumer isn't "malignant" bro. European manufacturers should simply step up their game and make cars that are even better and cheaper.
Europe was always a socialist shithole and it was going to die into irrelevancy, the only reason it hasnt become a third world shithole by now its the gibs by America.
America adopting the same marxist protetionist stuff is like the death of humankind
Tariffs are bad.
Not imposing reciprocal tariffs is even worse.
But Trump's voting base doesn't care. America has very low import dependence, some of the least dependence in the world. Usually a country has like 60% dependence, the US has like 25%. Also the rural conservative base that supports Trump the most has significantly lower dependence as well. They are some of the most unaffected people in the world when it comes to reciprocal tariffs.
When someone breaks your arm you usually want to hit back in a way that preferably breaks theirs you fucking retard. They don't have a choice.
Tariffs aren't good or bad. New tariffs on everyone at once are bad. Countries are doing tariffs back on the USA, not on anyone else. Trump is a retard and so are you.
Economic MAD
Why dont migatards understand what a nash equilibrium is? It's basic game theory. They are bad for the US and they are bad for the EU
25-50% border taxes might be a good thing
You have to be told politicians are morons that have to signal retaliation to their moron base..you utter midwit
most people have no perspective
bringing back factories if theyre automated anyways is just common sense. Okay so how about this. the phone you bought was made in some state and shipped to you by a truck instead of sea freight.
if attacking people for no reason is bad, why are you fighting back?
womp womp to all that shiz
Just like they offered to help Africa (by colonizing it) and be mediocre at it
We aren't cucks, unlike Japan and SK
Why couldn't local African colonizers offer cheaper, more efficient colonization to compete? Their own fault.
Why do you all keep asking the same stupid questions over and over?
UHHH IF PUNCHING PEOPLE IS BAD WHY DID YOU PUNCH ME BACK AFTER I SOCKED YOU IN THE FACE? CHECKMATE
Tariffs are bad if you're the number 1 economy and hegemony of the world.
Guess who just decided they weren't gonna be that anymore?
It’s a complete mystery, I’m a baboon with only a single braincell can someone please help me figure this one out, MAGA
Sure seems irrational
Irrational is doing it to every country, like your favorite orange faggot is doing
Tariffs are bad if you're the number 1 economy and hegemony of the world.
But anon, China already has tariffs
Because you are on an anonymous imageboard where anyone can say the most retarded shit imaginable without being laughed off the site because they are anonymous
I have a trade deficit as the reserve currency world power country waaaaaaaaa
lmao
tariffs are physical violence
4 brown retards that can't read. He's referring to people that say "tariffs only hurt your own country, they are just a tax on your citizens, they don't provide any benefit".
That's completely unrelated, brown retard.
He's asking why other countries are doing it if it's bad for the US, not why they're retaliating, actual poop brained indians
SAAAR TARRIF IS PUNCH SAAR BLOODY BITCH FIGHT SAAR
Why do we WANT to be the world's reserve currency?
tariffs are useful for protecting industries. EU and China have manufacturing/industries that still exist. american doesnt. American levying tariffs is genuine retardation.
EXACTLY THE ABILITY TO EXPORT INFLATION AND IMPORT GOODS IS OVERPOWERED AND CHEATING, DRUMPF IS KEEPING US HONEST AND MAKING SURE WE ONLY MAKE OUR MONEY HONESTLY BY SACRIFICING CHILDREN TO THE INDUSTRIAL PRESS. LETS GO PATRIOTS.
BUILT FOR BIG BLACK COCK
So we should design an economy where we...build, and export only money, and are entirely reliant upon all other nations for all of our stuff, but nobody can buy anything because there's no jobs.
We’ve designed an economy around managing information.You’re poor and need money, America is rich and doesn’t need you. Instead of getting mad at the billionaires taking your money you made being a part of the managerial capital of the world you would rather burn down what little you do have Kek.
Then why are you freaking out about Trump trying to get production back to America in the first place?
You’re poor and need money, America is rich and doesn’t need you.
The problem is that that's MOST Americans. You basically told 75% of Americans that America doesn't need them, and now you're surprised that those Americans turned against you.
Again I don’t disagree, most Americans are, relatively compared to some other first world countries, poorer than the wealth of the nation would expect, since America itself is rich. So again what exactly will tariffs do for you, you’re destroying the competitive advantage of the American economy, managerial control over the world’s corporations via the reserve currency and financial markets, and you will be left with a fledgling domestic industry and no money to boost it either. You’ll be poor and now America will be poor too. The rich can just split their assets into whichever countries allow them refuge in exchange for their money.
Better to have a job and get some money than have no job and no money
I dont care.
Or you could have a job and lots of money too if you build a society that preserves our advantages while fixing the downsides.
Xi Jinping is unironically just as stupid as Trump and is using this as an opportunity to decouple the Chinese economy in advance of attacking Taiwan. No one else is raising tariffs across the board because as you said tariffs are very stupid. There will be some targeted tariffs on symbolic goods just because they play well domestically but at the end of the day it’s Americans who have shot themselves in the head and very few countries will follow.
