THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

[Over70irregs]

I think it's more about armed thugs showing up at a farmhouse in the middle of the night, murdering the farmer and raping and beating his wife and daughters. Has happened plenty. If whites there feel they are no longer safe then why shouldn't they be able to apply for asylum here?

Giving off a millennials vibe. The boomers, silent, and before are complicit. Young folks don’t want the drama.

Boomers are complicit? South Africa formally handed power over to the black majority in 1994. The last birth year of boomers was 1964 so the youngest boomers were 30 years old in '94. That means boomers were coming into positions of authority in the 90's and their influence had a great effect on U.S. policy towards apartheid.

And you still haven't answered the question. If white farmers in rural areas are getting murdered and the South African government is threatening to confiscate their land then do the whites have the right to seek asylum here? Can you give a clear answer without the gobbledygook?

trump is not the first president to work tariffs. clearly he's taken it to another level. Looks like FDR may have been the first to float reciprocal tariffs.

Several U.S. presidents have implemented tariffs without congressional approval by leveraging delegated authorities from laws like the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, the Trade Act of 1974, and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Key examples include:

The Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934, passed during FDR’s presidency, delegated tariff-setting authority to the executive branch, allowing FDR to negotiate trade agreements and adjust tariffs.

• Richard Nixon (1971): Imposed a 10% surcharge on all imports under the Trading with the Enemy Act to address a balance-of-payments crisis.
  
• Jimmy Carter (1978): Applied tariffs on color TVs.
• Ronald Reagan (1983, 1987): Imposed tariffs on motorcycles and Japanese electronics.
• George H.W. Bush (1991): Targeted Canadian lumber.
• Bill Clinton (1995): Levied tariffs on Japanese luxury cars.
• George W. Bush: Implemented steel tariffs.
• Donald Trump (2018, 2025): Used Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act for steel (25%) and aluminum (10%) tariffs in 2018, citing national security, and invoked IEEPA in 2025 for tariffs on Canada (25%), Mexico (25%), and China (10%), declaring a national emergency over trade imbalances and immigration.
  The president doesn’t have the power to set tariffs—Congress does

• Joe Biden: Maintained Trump’s tariffs and expanded some, including a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles under Section 301.
  

These actions reflect a trend of Congress delegating tariff powers to the executive branch, particularly since the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934, though such moves have sparked debates over constitutional overreach.
