Summary

Donald Trump pledged to impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office, blaming them for failing to stop illegal drugs and immigration.

He also vowed to add a 10% tariff on Chinese goods until drug trafficking into the U.S. ceases.

Economists warn these tariffs could drive up consumer prices and inflation.

While violent crime has declined in recent years, Trump continues to link trade measures to border security and drug issues, echoing his first-term trade policies and immigration stance.

Who do you think he's going to pick to succeed to him when he will be tired, Don jr or Ivanka?

Okay, but are you going to stimulate US manufacturers to fill in the vacuum you'll create? Unless manufacturers have somewhere else to get their materials from, this will just result in shortages of everything.

We're gonna be seeing empty shelves in stores again. But there'll be no new virus to explain it this time.

Not to mention US manufacturing is significantly more expensive because we mostly outlaw slave labor. Either way the poors get hurt and the trumpets get to lap up whatever runs down Dolan's leg as a consolation.

Wow. It sure is a good thing we still have domestic products that can compete with all of the imported goods from these major trade partners ...right? Right?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

its a good thing the US isn't dependent on Canadian electricity or gas....

What does the price of imports have to do with illegal immigration? Do you think he even knows?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I think his idea is that Mexico and Canada will, in response, do something about the illegal immigrants they're sending to the US.

Yes, it's deranged, but it's also Trump, so what do we expect.

What are the benefits for him? All that he do is for his own good. At first I thought he was saying lies so that he can get elected. But now that he is elected, what will he gain from doing that? Won't American suffer so does his assets?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

If all assets are lower, the billionaires can buy everything cheap then get crazy wealthy whenever (if) things are ever fixed.

My betting is he'll relax tariffs on companies if they pay him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Don likes to make "deals". I honestly think he'll walk back on this once it begins to piss everyone off.

The whirlpool logo looks too much like a halo to be a coincidence...surprised the pic doesn't burst into flames

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

That looks like a ludicrously bad shop job. Also, Whirlpool appliance boxes are not printed in color like that.

And for anyone wondering, practically all of Whirlpool (and all the other "American" brands) refrigerators are made in Mexico. Just saying.

Looks like a don’t-buy-me sign to me.
