[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump has announced an across the board tariff on anything being imported from China, Mexico or Canada. So much for cars, produce and most of what people buy at Walmart and Target. I guess their bribe wasn't enough.[/quote] This is false. This is a negotiation tactic to gain concessions and leverage. No idea if tariffs will happen or not, but it sets up an adversarial relationship with the countries in question. See it for what it is and stop pushing the panic button right out of the gate.[/quote] !! Trump knows how to negotiate deals and how to get the world in line and you always start with a high number or threat when negotiating in order to get the other side to freak out and panic or think you’re crazy. There’s a method to his madness [/quote] You watched too much of the Apprentice. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/interactive/2024/bob-woodward-trump-interview-1989/ THis is Trump on violations in his buildings: Trump described his strategy of refusing to pay fines for the violations he received from property inspectors. “From day one, I said f--- them,” Trump said of the inspectors. “When I was in Brooklyn, inspectors would come around and they’d give me a violation on buildings that were absolutely perfect,” Trump recalled. “I’d say, ‘F--- you.’ And they’d give me more violations. And more. And for one month it was miserable. I had more violations — and they were unfounded violations. But they give it because what they wanted was if you ever paid ’em off, they’d always come back. So what happened to me, in one month they just said, ‘F--- this guy, he’s a piece of s---.’ And they’d go to somebody else.” This may be a good business strategy from a money standpoint, but the thing is there were people living in those buildings. Those people were living in a property that didn’t meet standards. We (the entire country) are all now living in the building that is below basic living standards. But trump will get more money, so he just doesn’t care about that. [/quote]
