Except we didn't just self tax ourselves because with the high tariff importers will look for cheaper alternatives. The Vietnamese know this and they do give a :censored2:. They export $150 billion to us and don't want to lose that. If they don't sell to us then who is going to pick up the slack? You economically literate folk out there need to grow a spine.
I should have cropped out the financially illiterate part of the meme because I don’t think that’s true.

I wouldn’t be surprised if most wealthy and business leaders voted for Trump, but still they obviously don’t agree with these tarriffs judging from the stock market reaction

The rest of it makes sense though, and more people are realizing it because Trump lied and misled about the information initially, leading people to believe it was reciprocal tarriffs when they aren’t

A lot more to the automotive industry than robotic arms. Indiana for example has been hit hard by the closing of automotive parts factories. You better hope all of this fails because if you get the union guys in the Rust Belt behind the Republicans you guys are kaput.
To be fair, I haven't noticed that very much, if at all here.

Just saying.

See a lot of Foxconns in this list. Promise of $10 billion investment and 13,000 new jobs never materialized.

Sounds like you're talking about intelligently targeted tariffs that would help a few of our industries. That's not what this is.
i have heard from leaders on both sides for fifty years say this is exactly what we should do. you've seen the video's of pelosi her saying the same stuff 30 years ago. if you're going to do true reciprocal tariffs then that is a complete revamp of how we have done tariffs in the past . in the past we basically did charity work where we allowed other countries to screw us to prop up their economies, governments or to gain political favor. what your now seeing is a battle of the MAGA's. Every other country has taken the position that they will help their countries first by setting tariff policy that protects their countries industries that are most fragile to outside competition. in reality we're now doing the same thing and we're late to the party.

The formula for the fake foreign tariff rates:

(exports - imports)/imports

Trade deficit divided by imports.
you had to listen to the whole presentation and then to the finance guru's he has working for him in the interviews to get a better understanding of the entire calculation.

We were paid to run the $ empire. Now that is disappearing. We are leaving $ printing to go back to the abandoned manufacturing business. We took advantage of them by giving them $ coupons for their goods.

Perhaps. But you are a toddler swinging nothing. Exactly like what you hate.
