THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

[Thebrownblob]

i agree but the dems took it to a whole new level laundering money and buying votes through NGO's. by biggest complaint about the republicans is that they looked the other way or worse of all were too stupid to see what was going on. though I'm sure we'll find some that also suckled on the corruption pig..

All of this might be true, but I just wonder if the other side will do the same thing when they have total control.

No, I’m claiming no one gives a rats ass about the measly amount you lost. I can assure you that the 10% don’t care. Actually, they’re thinking of way now to get your 7%.

This is what I wrote:

The global economy will be smaller, slower and more expensive in the era of mass tariffs.

I never said I lost anything in the stock market. Because I didn't sell.

What I did write was that the global economy will be smaller, slower and more expensive in a trade war.

Do you think a trade war will be good for the United States and for the middle class here?

 

[Thebrownblob]

trump warned the whole world , so i figured april would be a rough month and trimmed some of my holdings. its not a loss until you sell.

Yep, and if you actually believe in this system, this is exactly the time someone would want to buy.

 

[Next Day Err]

Yes or no: are tariffs taxes on consumers?

Do you think the current trajectory is good for the middle class in 10 or 20 years? I don’t.

I maxed out my Roth IRA because I have 17-20 years left of fulltime work. Hopefully rightwing populism is long out of favor by then.

Of course they are. I don’t have a problem with them. I do, however, have a problem with Trump putting the cart before the horse. There still federal payroll tax. With both it will be a disaster.

Smart then relax let the rich people freak out.

 

[Next Day Err]

So the solution, in your mind, is for the working poor and middle class to pay more taxes to increase their prosperity?

Do you know the economics term "marginal propensity to spend" and understand its implications?

thats where we'll see if the repubs are serious about cleaning up the corruption. they need to codify the changes.
ultimately whatever controls they put into law will be bleed away in the future. politicians buy votes with taxpayers dollars.

My biggest issue is there doesn’t seem to be any middle ground between either side.

Oh, I believe the plan is to let the middle class suckers pay higher prices at Walmart and through our W2.

He will make sure the rich get their tax breaks, though.

L O L look around you, my friend we are being gobbled up by the 10% what you have now you will not have in 10 years and our kids will not have even half the opportunities.

Extreme poverty in the United States has been replaced by extreme debt. Most people are just working slaves. Do you believe that’s better?

Hmm if his plan is to get rid of the W-2, I’m on board. If not, then it’s disaster and won’t work.

Interesting you see nothing more than Walmart consumers. Pretty sure that’s what the rich think of us too.

there is nothing that says that has to happen. we cant run our country on what the world does or all our jobs will be in other countries meaning the world will do great while we starve.

Do you think a trade war will be good for the United States and for the middle class here?

its a change to reciprocal tariffs not a trade war. if we were in competing business and you charge me 50 dollars for my shoes and i charge you 50 dollars for your shoes its not hurting either one of us.

 

[Sportello]

Yes, that’s exactly the same thing as Trump going golfing with his Arab friends and not even bothering to show up for the dignified transfer.

DIDO has taught you well. How is your mentor?

@Box Ox , are you not going to defend your straw man argument? Is DIDO using your account? You sound more like him every day.

 

[Thebrownblob]

Is the stock market worth 10% less than last week or was it not really worth what it was last week?

 

[newfie]

My biggest issue is there doesn’t seem to be any middle ground between either side.

one side has to be so successful that the other side has no leverage and has to adopt the same philosophy.
in this case as an example lets say trump is hugely successful with his economic plan and actually ends up with a 60 percent approval rating.
the dems tactic then would be to adopt the trump policies but sell it with a kinder and gentler approach.

 

[newfie]

Yes or no: are tariffs taxes on consumers?

its not a yes or no answer. the goal is to make it here so consumers dont pay tariffs.

There's nothing wrong with Walmart consumers. Walmart has been the country's biggest anti-poverty institutions, one might argue. Decades of much lower prices on consumer goods has really been beneficial to Americans' standard of living.

That might be coming to an end.
