THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

El Correcto

god is dead
you're just making crap up now that has no semblence of reality
What are you talking about? Trump told people do not announce retaliatory tariffs or he would do what he did to china to them.

EU went ahead and announced and approved of retaliatory tariffs and now the little orange idiot wants a 90 day pause.

Yea, what did he secure? A couple percentages off of tariffs?

If even that. They placated a child’s delusional tantrum and now are putting him down for a nap, hopefully.
you keep talking like the something stopped happening. are you really that out of touch with reality.
what he gains we will find out during the pause. Is there any lib that can see any further down the road then the tip of their nose?

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Neville Chamberlain territory? Our trade partners and allies aren't nazi Germany.

But yes, we could've talked real numbers instead of fake numbers with them and shown them what the stick was if they didn't want to cooperate.
The strategy was to box China in. He couldn’t do that without leveling tariffs on others as well, to at least appear fair. This exposes China as a global scumbag. Trade partnerships with allies will happen.

That should be the strategy. We could very well go to war with them soon so it makes sense to shift production away from them. I'm not following on the needing to appear fair part.

Our trade partners and allies likely always would have responded positively if we'd just asked them to work with us to begin with. The dumb go ahead and tariff the whole world little boy fake numbers TV show drama didn't need to happen.
Some people, who can remain unnamed, are just miserable doomwatchers.

He wants to end this. He is flinching because the world isn’t messing around with his delusional tariff nonsense.

What he will gain is already on the table.
They have a carrot they offered him, now they also have a stick (pre approved retaliatory tariffs) they will hit him with.
 
We shouldn't play childish fake tariff number games with our trade partners and allies if our actual goal is to shift production away from China.
100%.

Again: what’s the goal? If “the patient” is sick and we’re supposed to “take the medicine” then why aren’t we taking the medicine?

He was denouncing the media and saying he wouldn’t pause tariffs for 90 days just a couple of days ago.

Now here we are facing retaliatory tariffs by allies and now he wants a pause.
If Trump was sticking to his guns he would have immediately raised tariffs on the EU for announcing retaliatory tariffs like he did to china.

The man is backing down and taking the off ramp, there is no way the orange idiot will be allowed to pull this stunt again after this pause. They will placate his delusional little tantrum and set him down for a nap.

If it wasn’t for self-loathing and Trump-hating, he’d have nothing to live for.
Sad & Pathetic.
The whole democrat party has devolved into a party of violence and hate. I’m waiting for the protest when they finally drop all pretense of wanting a constitutional republic and start waving Chinese flags and carrying Mao’s little red book.
