So much for cars, produce and most of what people buy at Walmart and Target. I guess their bribe wasn't enough.

And exactly what is the problem with this?

That you will pay more for everything.You think things are expensive now? Just wait.

Not 25% more. And you could pick US manufacturers instead. And US workers will get more jobs.

What is wrong with that ?

Biden has invested trillions in the US manufacturing base (that the GOP opposed) but it will take years before those plants are online, so in the meantime, the American consumers will get reamed.

Our politicians need to understand that it's simply too late to bring manufacturing back because we will never catch up to the productivity of the Chinese and Vietnamese plant workers. Wall Street sold this country so they can have private jets and fancy boats in the Florida keys. And any manufacturing that comes back will be heavily automated.

NAFTA is the problem. There is no “all American car”. They all have parts from Canada and Mexico that are hit with tariffs, even if assembled here.

If you have enough money that a 25 percent increase in cost for nearly everything is insignificant to you, great for you. The problem is that some of us are already struggling and that kind of cost increase without a corresponding increase in pay will result in people who were able to meet basic needs being unable to do so.

You are not too bright. It will not be a 25% increase.

And there will be supply and demand impacts that there will be other suppliers.

Don’t fall for globalist propaganda

Please explain. No economist agrees so it would be helpful for you to expand.

Not that poster you replied to, but in general it is a good idea not to fall for the "experts" propaganda. They are almost always just paid shills and mouthpieces. Take everything they say with a huge dose of salt.

Only "dear leader" tells the truth, right?

Prices on almost everything rose by over 50-100+% in the last 4 years. Just saying.....

Which was a global phenomenon due to COVID and supply chain issues.

Wrong. Biden amplified inflation with his runaway spending like the inflation reduction act. Inflation was predicted by economists like Lawrence Summers and politicians like Manchin, and Biden denied the warnings, then denied the inevitable result insisting it was “transitory.”

Fentenyl is already well below Trump45 levels and border crossings are back to Trump45 levels, so I guess we don't need the tariffs, right?

And why is that, do you think? Could it be because Biden *finally* stopped gaslighting Americans about the border crisis and signed an EO this summer, which almost immediately decreased border crossings? Do you ever stop and ask yourself why the hell he didn't do this upon taking office in Jan. 2021??

He has a mandate and can threaten even bigger tarriffs if they price gouge and raise prices on Americans so the liberals are wrong when they say the consumer will pay the tarriff. No Trump will ensure the company is the one that suffers from that tarriff. I thought Democrats were for taxing industry, corporations, and the rich

He didn't even get 50% of the vote. There is no mandate.

Trump doesn’t like Trudeau.

All part of Trump’s vengeance tour.

+1. Trudeau is prettier than Trump.

It does seem like Canada is random. Gotta love POTUSes who cause huge economic damage for random reasons.

Supply chains are complicated. And cars made in the US have Canadian and Mexican parts.

Nope, just certain imported items. Just more incentive to produce them stateside like we used to.

Make "Made in USA" great again. The man is businessman.

Yeah. The democrat globalists hate this. They demand their cheap Chinese crap Screw their own US workers.

Yeah— all the Dems supporting… Walmart?

Good way to get it done. Quit giving them money also. Of course all the deepstaters in bed with the drug cartels will reeee.

LOL. Cute that you think that will happen. Who do you think pays the tariffs?

It’s hilarious that libs understand that tariff costs are passed along to the consumer, but think corporate taxes stop at the company bottom-line.

The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

They also think carbon taxes, regulations, and 15 dollar minimum wage hasn’t increased the cost of groceries and fast food. They don’t understand economics. It’s all passed to the consumer so tarriffs are no anomaly. Trump, if anything, because he’s such a fierce patriotic negotiatior will ensure no one raises a penny on American consumers in income taxes or investments and consumer price index. We are going to see taxes, prices, interest rates, and inflation go down and it’s going to be beautiful and a boost for the country

Who do you think bares the brunt of the tariff costs?

Oh! Love me some trickle down economics!

I remember when the Republicans were the pro-war and anti-tariff party.

Well, well, well, how the turn tables.
