Trump Tariffs has Countries ready to retaliate?

[vantexan]

life expectancy falling because people in their working years with no college degree are dying deaths of despair

we have too much stuff being produced by too few companies in too few places @vantexan

Life expectancy is the average of all deaths. Between drugs and gang banging in the younger demographic it brings the overall expectancy down. But plenty of people live into their 80's and beyond.

There are 170 countries in the WTO.

Perhaps this will help you understand. Read a bit and then I will be happy to answer specific questions.

Such an intelligent response.

The markets seem to think there is a chance of it being a long term thing.

Well, he promised that it would be.

Its drugs not gangs

There are a ton of shootings pretty much every weekend in major cities. Those killings bring down the life expectancy average too.

Did anyone notice how anyone who is MAGA suddenly went from “everything is too expensive!” to “let go of your material wealth and embrace the enlightenment” overnight?

And now all of a sudden all the magas who have been voting Republican the past 30 years are quoting democrats from the past 30 years saying we should be doing this

Yeah, we should have been planning this 30 years ago, building the infrastructure, giving incentives, working towards it. Not switching everything on a dime with no infrastructure and wiping out the economy with no real goal or leadership

 

[Doublestandards]

Makes sense. Trump's base tariff on the whole world is 10%. If something costs Walmart $100 to import currently, and it costs Walmart $90 to import tomorrow, a 10% tariff on it tomorrow won't mean they've got additional costs to potentially pass on to the American consumer.

So companies like Walmart and Amazon will continue to grow while small business will get decimated

And that 10% Walmart is eating is 10% less profits that could have gone to workers wages

Walmart giving the extra 10% to worker wages? Said no one ever.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent downplays stock market crash as short-term reaction and says 'everything is working very smoothly'

Bessent said "what I've been very impressed with is the market infrastructure, that we had record volume on Friday."

I hope younger people like yourself who may not be investing for their retirement get in soon because the on-ramp just opened.

So, because Trump, you ignore all other opinions of whether or not reciprocal tariffs work.

Your mind is like a steel trap.

Rusted shut.

Sure thing bubba. Tell that to all your MAGAt friends that shop at Walmart.
