[QUOTE="Doublestandards, post: 6096884, member: 110123"] Some things I feel about these tarrifs and trump 1. One thing Trump gets praised for, and used to defend him constantly for dumb things he says, “he’s just trolling” or “he’s just playing 4d chess” or “he’s just trying to rile up the other side” He’s already flip flopped on tarrifs with Mexico and Canada multiple times just this year. He’s gone back on his own trade agreements HE MADE in his first year calling them terrible deals So tell me, why would businesses invest BILLIONS of dollars to move manufacturing to America, when Trump might just later flip flop, or he might be “trolling”? Why would they risk that? They’re going to rather weather the storm, increase prices for consumers and see where this goes. Trump has shown you can’t trust his word. You can’t trust his deals. Corporations aren’t going to uproot and spend billions when Trump could change his mind tomorrow 2.
