What's kind of interesting is why Trump is all jacked up about tariffs now, as opposed to his first term?

Is it because his Chinese tariffs were somewhat successful?  I think one can make a case that almost any tariffs against China are justifiable, because they are "cheating us" in several ways.  That's not true of everyone we have a trade imbalance with.

Something or someone got in his ear about this.

Because there were people around in the first term that told Navarro to shut the fuck up, but not this time.  
 

Not sure if the story is true but I saw that Kushner found Navarro doing an Amazon search for books on China and liked the title of Navarro’s book.  And here we are…

And he made up the research and the main economist contributor in the book. In some administrations (democrats) that would be a negative. But lying and making up shit is the GOPs only play on their playsheet.

They are having none of it.   Without any actual knowledge of economics to know how to justify their dumbass God-King (because there is no justification) they resort to administration talking points about how the entire world has cheated us for years - and the brilliant Dear Leader is going to return wealth and prosperity to America……. and certainly it is best to ignore the fact that he is destroying the wealth and prosperity in America in order to….<checks notes > …make America wealthy and prosperous.

Also, look at their men’s basketball coaching search.

What I think is even scarier, is how easily they wanted to believe they were getting screwed over by foreigners who are operating in capitalistic markets without any evidence or scrutiny to such claims. They just ran for the pitchforks.

This type of mass hysteria and manipulation has brought about so much death and destruction and thousands of years later we still don’t bother to try to educate it out of our population.

Thoughts and prayers, asshole.  You think half your workforce losing their jobs is "bittersweet"?  I hope you lose your business,  your house, and all your worldly possessions, and see how you like the sweet smell of nature without consumerism touted by the fucksticks you still support.

There were still a few vertebrae (not an entire vertebrate, though) in the Republican party.  First term you had some so called adults in the cabinet, and there were still a few in Congress who would have voted against this shit (McCain, Cheney, etc.).  Now we're the frog in the boiling water, and half the country is fully in the cult without guardrails.  Putin can goad dotard into anything, and there's no one left around dotard to talk "reason."

Keep those thoughts and prayers coming in folks.   Once they purge the DEI aspects of the fire Academy and start focusing on raking the forest floor, I’m sure things will be fine.

I’m still trying to figure out why anyone was still in last month’s market investments when everyone knew what he was gonna do because he announced it.   “I will be announcing my tariffs on April 2, there may be pain…”

< Gee…. I should probably just sit here in the aggressive growth mutual fund, and hope it all works out.>
 

Not sorry any MAGgat is down a ton, but I remain bewildered why non-Trumpers did not tweak their portfolio or 401(k) before the market took a dump.

I was watching the Longhorn baseball game at the local watering hole yesterday and was catching up w/ a friendly acquaintance  I haven't seen in a few months. He's in his 60s and could retire at any time but is waiting for a package out the door. He must be a Fox News/Newsmax type because he decided to sneak in a talking point about "well, the stock market was overdue for a correction after hitting 45,000 so in the long run this is probably a healthy thing." I damn near choked on my beer w/ laughter and told him "that's the equivalent of saying 'well, my car two-year old car with 12,000 miles on it was due for an oil change so it's really for the best that an uninsured motorist plowed into it and totaled it in the parking lot of Home Depot.'" Totally clueless.

No. Don’t do this. This is a media narrative used to strike a balanced tone because outside of the business press they don’t care about or understand the global trade economy. His first term tariffs were a disaster. We lost global market share in ag exports we will never get back. The winner of the 2017 trade war was China, and will be this time as well. 
The only tariffs that benefit us, even WRT China, are the limited set of commodities and goods where we need to maintain strategic capability, like steel and heavy manufacturing. And even in those cases there are usually better ways to protect capability and American IP. 
Here’s the basic fact of the matter- we control the world’s reserve currency. As long as we do, really don’t have a trade deficit with anyone, not even China. Think about this: our adversary sends us tangible goods with intrinsic value that we control demand for, and we export to them our fiat currency, which we control the supply of. And they are cheating US, you say? And you want to do something to stop THAT?

So in what sense does this accomplish anything other than weaken the market for our most important export, the dollar?

Good points.  I'd submit that moreso than "heavy manufacturing," it's electronics manufacturing, because that's where they steal consequential IP, although they steal IP anytime they manufacture goods according to Western design.

But my point wasn't in any way to defend Trump tariffs, just question why he got such a hardon for them between 2021 and 2024 or so.

Again- don’t do this. You’re lawyering outside of court. The preemptive concession that the previous tarriffs were less of a hard-on is not  necessary, but more importantly it’s not correct. He just had less compliant, better people around him then. 
 

adding: the previous term was also not prominently supported by people who benefit from global de-dollarization. This one is.

Notably here, perhaps, Robert Lighthizer, who was his first-term USTR.  Although pro-tariff/protectionism, he seemed one of the more qualified appointments.  And is nowhere to be found now.

Careful what you pray for, dickhead. What were you praying for last November? You thought the Big G was coming through for you. How do you like it now?

I'll go ahead and stipulate to your voodoo beliefs that think Jesus was a sucker and that you know better. You prayed to God to install a heartless, cruel, petty, raping, liar as the best person to execute your vision of the world. Maybe Jesus' Dad, pretty sharp God, decides that you shall have what you want. Maybe reap what you sow is another way to look at it. Maybe that will make you appreciate the plights of people beyond yourself. You may even come back to Jesus. 

But, no.

Now you're just praying to the Big G about helping your little town. So selfless. I'm sure He is moved by that and your advocacy for the Murder Cult. While you're on your knees, do you feel the Devil's horned boner rubbing your cheek?

You best be praying that you're wrong about a punishing God.

See above about what you knowingly voted for. Students here legally are being ambushed and deported. Hardworking immigrants are being pulled from their work and sent to concentration camps. Women are being subjugated. The public welfare is being undermined to the point of collapse. 

Boo hoo. Relatively wealthy white guy has his bowels in an uproar over his diminished retirement fund. 

spacer.png

I do believe the idiots when they say "this isn't what we voted for", that they were truly duped by someone as intellectually equipped as Trump, that they had selective hearing and didn't pick up on what the exact details of his plan were going to be all along.

That does make me feel worse that people that stupid make up the majority of our voting age adults.
