So all the stuff about tariffs being permanent were just lies? And you're fine with that?
until the end of time
that was never the case

all the stuff
Can you link one of those "stuff"?
Even one link?
I don't know OP but everything I said was gonna happen these last few days has now happened but they never listen
The downside to op’s theory is that negotiations are something Trump is absolutely shit at. Oh he loves doing them, and he thinks he’s great, but when you look at his “art of the deal” deals he’s either exactly where he was or worse. Prime example - USMCA. Foreign leaders are about to eat his lunch.
Could you explain to me why he couldn't just directly negotiate with these countries and *then* playing tariff hardball if they refused to comply, avoiding market shock and near-economic collapse altogether?
Could you also explain to me why he coincidentally dropped the tariffs the morning after bonds started to crash and House Republicans started to drag their feet in signing his budget resolution, as if he cold feet and cucked out?
Could you also explain to me why none of his team could corroborate his actual plan and either gave conflicting statements or straight-up said they didn't know even though they should've, almost like there was no plan to begin with?

This one is particularly notable. I'm starting to think the market manipulation he did do wasn't even his idea.
No, you don't need or deserve an explanation. You bring nothing to the table. Fuck off and stop posting.
Because this is all a show or detraction or demonstration of power - there is nothing to even negotiate. All these countries would happy sign 0 for 0 tariffs because we all agree that's best economically. But Trump is an egomaniac who needs to be center of attention and manufacture some crisis to cover up all his power grabs, corruption, and dismantling of government checks and balances, ending rule of law, constitutional rights, etc. The end goal is actually to make america less dependent on others, which will make us poorer, but also makes it easier to maintain a dictatorship and suppress the populace. The purpose is to ruin the economy, but gradually enough where we are frogs boiling in water.
I believe this.
literal nobody with narcissism wants to be spoon fed and demands his binkie
The fundamental problem with the the negotiation angle is that there's nothing to achieve and nothing was achieved. The kids and people with the mind of children that think he invented madman negotiations are fooled, so I guess the showmanship has its audience.
the answer to all your questions is dementia
also, let's not forget this whole thing started over drug trade, then it shifted to bringing back manufacturing, and now it's about negotiating for 'fair deals' (no one knows what the fuck this means anyway)
meaning that if trump gets his deals manufacturing won't come back since he will have removed or reduced tariffs anyway
Because dirty foreigners' gravy train is stopping.
A lot of that is probably for the legal justification because technically the president can't just arbitrary set tariffs, they need to make up some "emergency" to justify it in the courts, but are somehow able to argue completely contradictory justifications in the media, which you think would expose the completely transparent bad faith argument about fentanyl.
Its crazy to me how they were going full commie on fox to sell the tariffs, even though its completely against the intentions of the law that only grands the president power to set tariffs in a few narrow cases that definitely isn't intended to be able to let the president try to execute some USSR 10 year plan to redesign the US economy. But then in court they act like its totally just about drugs.
You're conflating two issues, but on tariffs specifically the power was given by congress to the president in the early 1900s and expanded multiple times. The Speaker of the House has said he won't bring the issue up for vote, so Trump has the consent of congress to do as he wilt, and that's the whole of the law.

Congress gave the president the power to set tariffs only for national security or economic "emergencies" which the vagueness is what Trump takes advantage of. Clearly the intent is for times of war or acute emergencies. Not things like the the existence of a trade deficit which has occurred for like 99% of the time of the last 50+ years, and most economics don't think is even bad. The laws were obviously never intended to allow the president to unilaterally enact his batshit crank Navarro's radical new type of economic philosophy on the country.
But yeah the GOP controls congress and for now is loyal to trump so you are right that he essentially has consent due to congress not acting to stop him.

Yep, and that's in fact literally all that matters. Our country is fucked up, I've been complaining about it my entire adult life, and now it's finally doing what I want (deregulating shower head flow rates) and you know what? I can't be assed to complain today. I think I'll just let this continue for a bit and see where it goes.
America is guaranteed to collapse in the future but for now, I'm okay with it.

muh trade deals
congratulations on fucking all your trade deals when sleepy joe gave you guys a free seat at the table.
Americans 20 year olds will never work in a factory btw. Gen Z is too soft. Enjoy the 9000 dollar iphones and 5 million dollar homes on a 40k salary
You should probably ask yourself why liberals only think in the present and cant into long term.
no rational person wants to work in a factory period. those who do have no other option but to do so. its not about being "soft" dumbass.
Exactly. Factory work is for third worlders and people who can't get a proper job. Capitalism has set us up to create jobs where the more you make, the less you work.
Good luck convincing the Gen Z kids and millennial with office jobs that they need to go work in a plant. I'll enjoy my comfy bullshit job that contributes nothing to the economy.
show of power
hey everyone watch me shit my pants
you scared yet??
Id be pretty scared if a retarded kid on a bus shit his pants while looking directly at me anon. This is all a ruse to convince the american workers that the collapse of bullshit jobs is totally never gonna happen and that factory work is a based and epic transition to a fulfilling career.
People 25+ with real jobs or their own companies are gonna be okay if they can dodge the outsourcing. Everyone else is gonna be a tradie or work in a factory where factories have to pay first world wages in an economy that got used to third world prices.

There's now a 10% across-the-board baseline tariff that wasn't there before Trump took office - even on the "cooperating" nations, and they are all thanking him for his mercy and the markets are mooning. The man is a damn prodigy.
china dumped bonds too
gotta give them credit
nice talking points, migatard. too bad it's bullshit.
Germany also
Pull up a campaign speech. The goal was to create favorable conditions for factory work in the US. Either scenario achieves this. Either we can export as easily as we import and the rapid increase in energy production will be an improvement.
I was kinda pro tariff myself, but obviously nothing like 30+% on most of the world. Pretty much just really high on China, no one else is quite so detrimental to our long term well being. Anything is better than what we had before.
Rapidly increase energy production. Top kek.
