Republican math

If these areas don't mean anything then why are you mad?

gl with inflation burgerman

Where did I exhibit either of those in my posts?

tfw the republicans crash the economy once again

This isn't even actual republicanism. It's losers who can't compete and need the government to protect them and bail them out.

Global trade

It's a good thing we're all nationalists, isn't it?

Why did he hit the asian countries the most ?

It's because it's proven what everyone suspected. That trump thinks a trade deficit is some kind of subsidy or in this case, tarrif.

you just killed global trade

if only

racism

Tramp didn't tariff Russia.
That tells you all you need to know right there.
Of course Anon Babble is sleeping on this since this board is a joke now.

Tramp didn't tariff Russia.

The tariffs are on international trade, not domestic.

Lmao.

didn't tariff russia

romanians are special kind of retards

>scientific

retard

Comparative advantage, Adam Smith explained this centuries ago faggot

This is what you get when you vote for a bunch of incompetent retards.

You are the retard you pathetic memeflag weasel coward.
USA has a trade deficit with Russia of multiple billions. Why no tarrifs?
Fucking shills desperately doing damage control.
GTFO!

obviously don't get news in romania, there is a war between ukraine and russia, due to which us imposed the largest number of sanctions on russia in the history of the planet, killing 90% of the trade.

tarrifs

absolute retard

why can’t you answer his question instead of fantasizing about his emotional state?

Trump should have known he wasn't allowed to start with these numbers.

Doesn't matter. Tramp said he will place tariffs on every country the US has a trade deficit with. Or maybe he is saving that for the upcoming increase in sanctions now that he is pissed on Putin.

Americans are smugly killing themselves figuratively and soon literally too

Couldn't have asked for better election results
Lmao

He didn’t tarif cuba either. Hmmmm. Or the Vatican.
But fuck those penguins.

Not technically a subsidy but it kind of is. That's wealth creation a nation could have within their borders that they're allowing another Nation to have. Modern pundits and economists don't realize how vital manufacturing is to a nation's GDP

Why do we need global trade when we can manufacture ourselves?

I always hear this shit from conservatives but never "I think I'll manufacture something."

butttt..but..bu...what about mypillow!

Yeah whatever

Oh look! Today, Anon Babbletards are tariff experts. Last week it was seed oils. A few weeks ago they were wildfire experts. So much smarts here!

It's losers who can't compete and need the government to protect them and bail them out.

An American tradition since 2007

Ramen noodles too cheap

Correct me if I'm wrong, now that the bullet is fired, Trump has the rest of the term to bring back all that production back into the states or the republicans are totally fucked?

they can't handle it either

the bullet lands in 2 weeks like from the last scene in wanted

USA has a trade deficit with Russia of multiple billions. Why no tarrifs?

Zelinsky didn't grovel and kiss the ring

Infinitely better than ho math

of course it matters, because it makes zero sense.
us already has sanctions on russia prohibiting almost all import, meaning 100000000% tariffs for geniuses like you.

Modern pundits and economists don't realize how vital manufacturing is to a nation's GDP

conservative answer: tariff until nothing is affordable, surely that will spur manufacturing and not a "living wage" protest resurgence

Morons

make up random numbers

I FRIGGIN LOVE SCIENCE AND BABY JEWSUS!

Can you be a mutt conservative and have an IQ of over 90? Theoretically speaking

Youre not wrong but you do talk like a fag and its already happening

So much smarts here!

Back to Anon Babble then weeb

What's it like to be retarded?

Isn't IKEA still cheaper and better?

Canada IKEA style furniture moves plant to east coast

but Canada lumber still tariff at 50%

HE SAV3D 5HE JOBZ

whats it like to be retarded AND have the smallest dicks in the world?

I don't know. Only a retard would think that you can perpetually buy foreign made goods while putting hardly anything on the market yourself

Hey even though I'm not in the states I don't want the dems back in power because of some high risk trade war. All I care about from your political landscape is seeing that woke shit dying out because it seeps out and affects my country too. So it's very concerning when you don't exterminate them first before fighting the world.

uhh but isnt ikea like heckin better?

Is that the best new cope you can come up with?

You have to be a legitimate braindead to not see how this move is stupid and making your life worse.
Not only is it dumb, it looks retarded, and anything affected by this move assures an expanding list of people unwilling to do trade.

These "tariffs" raise your cost of living and they dont raise your pay.
Congrats, Trump has raised your taxes massively and made you more poor.

Should've just demanded the entire trade imbalance in cash payments. That's the end of The end of trade imbalances.

have a positive trade deficit with USA

still get hit with a 10% tariff

make it make sense

0-20% deficits are all 10% tariffs and thats retarded

If you don't know the difference between creating wealth and spending, go drink bleach right now

it makes sense for the lopsided countries but low deficit countries are being punished for some reason

It's amazing, america now has, by a huge margin, the highest average tarrif rate of any country on earth. Interesting to see how it plays out

we can manufacture ourselves?

proof?

It makes no sense at all. Trade deficit is not the indicator of value or purpose. Tariffs based on this are just a meaningless tax on the American people.
I already pay $15 for shitty T-shirts and pants now they're going to cost $25, and my work will say we cant pay more because costs of everything have gone up.

That kid should've not missed the shot. Turns out he was right.

Not an argument.

scientific

Comparative advantage

This is a meme.
Back when China first started getting big, their manufacturing was inefficient, slow, and notoriously low quality. It still is in some sectors.
The "advantage" China had (and still has to some extent, although it is moving elsewhere) was an almost endless supply of workers, who could be forced to work in brutal conditions, for insane hours, and almost no compensation.

But workers rights only matter if you can see them suffering (and it could be you) so that doesn't matter, and thus neoslavery becomes "Comparative Advantage".

Wealth creation vs monetization? Did that go over your head?

Your math doesn't match my math, therefore it's wrong.

That's not what comparative advantage means. It means it makes the most sense economically to devote as much of your labour to the economic activity you are best at because it gives you the highest return. America could be the best place in the world to produce literally everything and it would still make economic sense to specialize and import stuff

You tariff or restrict us and we do the same to us.

Good business.

I already pay $15 for shitty T-shirts and pants now they're going to cost $25

the US does not have the infrastructure to make their own clothes?
you willingly wear 3rd world clothes?

You didn't account for the fact that these were additive did you? So the full tariffs on places like China are even higher. What you have figured out is that the trade deficit influences how much he tariffs them. Sorry Israel won't make as much importing diamonds and then selling them back as "designer" gems after they have been shaved.

Nothing of value was posted

"Made in America" costs 2-4x the price. You can get legit high quality like, Darn Tough socks, for $20 A PAIR or you can buy a 12-pack of cambodian made Dickies work socks for $15. Which one makes more sense for the average person being paid $20/hr?

These "tariffs" raise your cost of living and they dont raise your pay.

As I said, it will just create an even more dangerous "living wages" protest. He'll bring back 10% manufacturing and bankrupt 20% when wages go up.

Jesus Christ, what the fuck did americans elect?

Will tariffs improve the trade deficit or not?
Propose a better way to address.
You won't because you're a retarded shill

Trade deficit is a meaningless indicator for the Us as trade balance does not include services or dollar printing

Yes. My IQ is at least two standard deviations above your IQ. Actually, make that four since you seem like you are 1st percentile mierda de culo. Spain used to be great. What happened?

Trump is not really conservative, more of populist, but I respect telling Europe to fuck off. Boo fucking hoo.... Goldstein investments may have to run shorts that hurt boomer 401k, Europe won't get the Eastern Ukrainian lithium promised by Zelensky and I won't be able to by fake disposable shit on Amazon from China. Whatever will I do. Oh no! Faggots in Europe are laughing at me. They are so dumb that they think Trump is why their lives are shit in Europe.

Because I don't want to buy shit products made by drunk Midwesterners.

If you are smart you learn to buy quality and consume less.

lmao I love that you can pretend trade deficits are "tariffs charged to the US" and he STILL looked at the UK, Australia and other countries where they have a trade surplus and said "fuck it let's put em on the list as well" for probably shit and giggles.

No economy can sustain 70 to 80% of their GDP being consumption.

you just said absolutely nothing, and I doubt you even understand why this is being implemented

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA
*deep breath*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

REEEEEEEEEE!!!!! CORPORATIONS NEED TO BE ABLE TO EXPLOIT 3RD WORLD SLAVE LABOR AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO IMPORT THOSE PRODUCTS AND SELL THEM AT SUPER MARKUPS TO AMERICANS!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

They have extremely high tariffs in asia. 300% on wine in thailand, 100% on cars, etc.

the art of the deal

You should know. Please enlighten us on your smoothbrain take.

Pay tariffs EU niggers

UK and Australia both have trade deficits with the US

get 10% blanket tariffs anyway

So much for Anglo solidarity kek.

Pay tariffs EU nigger

Shouldn't you be getting your face blown up in Ukraine right now?

Go ahead and try. It's going to be fucking hilarious.

What are you a chink or a jew?

day of reckoning has come
vermins were profiting from free access to US market but not for NOW. Trump go furher, crush EU and Chinks

Cause it'll take years to build up factories and educate people to operate them.

So what germoid? Just give up? You germoids are proof that the best germans all died in ww2.

No you dumbass, just that one term isn't enough time to do all of it. Had Trump 2 terms in a row it would've been a possibility, now everything he does can easily be undone again if the wrong one wins the next presidency.
I know illiteracy is high in your shithole, but goddamn if I wouldn’t know any better I'd have to guess you're either retarded or an eglin faggot desperate to sow dissent and doing it very poorly at that.
Dumb retard.

Why do you think he's going for a 3rd term. Even without a 3rd term JD will just keep the same policies. Zero democrats can beat JD right now. Their only possible shot is Newsome and that's real shaky.

Oh look, Taiwan made us pay 116 billion dollars while we only earn 42 billion of them! That's around 64% deficit!

Now we add the tariff and they will pay almost 70 billion! That will show them! That will make us rich!

While on the other side, Great Britian has a -17.4% and is still tariffed with +10%. Yes, please continue losing money on Great Britain.

Because a trade deficit =/= tariff

The absolute state of burgers post 9/11

Drumpf and his team are morons. Literal brute force zero thinking logic with no nuance. All these working class dopes who voted for him and going to see everything they buy on a daily basis going to shoot up in price. All these dopes who are complaining about inflation don't know it was mostly caused by Drumpf in his 1st terM that was the cause of it. From him

1. doubling the national debt
2. his first-round of tariffs
3. cutting taxes for wealthy

And then people wonder why 4 yrs later, prices are so high?

faggot

bongs must be at least 15%. with such low tariffs they won't reunite with EU

Why does Wisconsin need trade when it could just manufacture at home?

STOP DOING SMART PEOPLE STUFF

Trade deficit is when you import more from a country than you export. Countries in the world are largely specialized and different. Expecting Vietnam to import as much shit from USA as USA imports from Vietnam makes no sense.

Tariffs are usually used to protect select few industries you want to develop to be competitive on a global market. Part of why the west is so rich and fuck all the poor countries is because they have all the high value industries so poor countries are stuck making poor return cheap shit the west can just import cheaply instead.

I saw some speculation Trump is doing this to fuck over American companies so they have to beg him for relief and thus he can secure their loyalty or something. Also there was exceptions for aluminium, lumber and semiconductors so at least some resources won't get the tariffs as some of them are just for show like the islands of just penguins also getting that 10% tariff

You genuinely have to be a smooth brain fucking low IQ retard to think any of these tariffs are good for the country.

you just killed global trade

My theory is his advisors were trying to avoid these countries using their overseas territories to circumvent the tariffs.

He is only going to crush the US, and you know that. Rusky vermin, thats the plan of the Russian secret service

Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos all >= 90%

Why? Are they vassal Chinese states that act as middlemen for Chinese prosucts being delivered to US? I know they are nothingburger shitholes but still

why do we need farmers when food comes from the store?

US export = US import for 0% tarriff because number must be equal, it just has to okay stop questioning goyim

Because thats where all the really cheap slave labor work is done now. You see made in vietnam on the shelves at walmart these days just as often as you see made in china.

they treat VAT as tariffs which imo is true

Hahaha. Its unreal how the Trump team is sinking the country and the global economy using bullshit 3rd grade math. Some countries have no way to ever avoid getting tariffs because their small population or cheap labor. Americans will get fucked in the ass in a few months. Meme clown world indeed.

Tramp didn't tariff Russia.

Because there are already massive amounts of sanctions in place, if you aren't even permitting russia to send or receive goods in the first place, there is no reason putting a tax on all that null illegal economic activity, dipshit.

shills are really rattled with this one
STAY MAD
TRUMP WON
this & KEK

why is he worried about the trade surplus. wtf does america have to sell to the world? Its either too expensive and/or not enough quality or poisoned.

we're a manufacturing giant and increasingly onshoring anything that can be done by machines because why the fuck wouldn't you

How will that create new jobs?

it won't create jobs, it will shift jobs from overseas to america
