Well that’s convenient. That way whatever Trump does you can just suspect it was exactly what he planned to do
Exactly! I don't think he's just throwing everything at a wall to see what sticks. He has his ideas about what is needed and the best way to get there. You just wanted me to read his mind and give you a definitive answer to exactly what he's doing. How convenient if I don't know! Sheesh!

You know… normally you vote for a person because of a set plan and policy they have that you mostly agree with

It’s not normal to vote for someone and say “they have a plan… I don’t know what it is but whatever they do will be right”

  • In May 2019, Trump tweeted: "There is no reason for the U.S. Consumer to pay the Tariffs... Tariffs can be completely avoided if you buy from a non-Tariffed Country, or you buy the product inside the USA (the best idea)." The Hill
  • In a 2024 NBC interview, when asked about potential price increases due to tariffs, Trump responded: "I can’t guarantee anything. I can’t guarantee tomorrow." He added, "They cost Americans nothing. They made a great economy for us."
  • Trump stated, “We’re going to be a tariff nation. It’s not going to be a cost to you. It’s going to be a cost to another country”

It's all bull:censored2: and he knows it. He knew it all along that price levels would rise with these levies. IT'S HOW THEY WORK. He wasn't born yesterday.

I voted for Trump for two major reasons. Biden had greatly harmed the country. Trump was going to do the things that I wanted him to do. But there's no law that says Trump has to spell out how he'll go about accomplishing his goals or else he can't run for president. What exactly did Biden spell out for you in 2020? As I recall he spent the last few weeks before the election not campaigning at all(I wonder why?).

I wonder what enterprising American company sees an opportunity and starts manufacturing products here to beat out the foreign competition?

Why would they manufacture here?

Trump has flip flopped multiple times, he has no long term goal and contradicted himself multiple times

no one knows what the goal is, including you. Is the goal for long term tariffs or for free trade?

Too big of a risk for a business to decide under Trump, better to just wait it out

Well Trump already lied about the tariffs other countries place on us

But let’s just play along and flip it to you

If tariffs are so good for an economy, why did Trump pause the ones he put in place and reduce to 10%

If tariffs are so good for an economy, why did Trump just place exemptions on Chinese products?
