Why didnt he incentivize companies to produce in america with tax breaks instead of putting tariffs on the...

So why not give them a real incentive in the form of a huge tax break?

Ill type whatever i want thank you.

personally I think it's a bid to reduce inflation through forcing other countries to expand their USD reserves.

Because he is a dunce that doesn't understand what a tariff is and he surrounded himself with grifters and yes men that know he can be taken advantage of.

outsourced industries

it really has absolutely nothing to do with this. you think doalffel druamtopt imagines a bright future where US citizens are working in factories? you think his followers dream about weaving shirts? WTF!?

Just buy american idiot.

Better than having no opportunities and ghost job ads

I can't stand Green Day, personally.

Darklord Donnie doesn't want any kind of smooth transition, he's out to play retribution hardball and break things!

Something had to be done to generate money for the government. Tax cuts would cost the government money.

Something had to be done to generate money for the government of Israel

FTFY

Yea i guess that must have been his main concern.

You're right that some incentives and subsidies are worth considering, but other countries will throw a fit over that. He's working within the confines of the authorities he has without going through congress.
He should also do certain small export tariffs, but I don't think he's smart enough for that.

Who cares if they throw a fit, america first i thought.

Hes trying to destabalize the US so his croneys can buy the dip. Maga are mushbrains and abandon any economic theory the second that trump runs against it. Anything trump says was the right answer. Anyone who has a coherent criticism is just a lib.

And what would be the eta on that?

you know what would better than both those futures? a continued development of the current US specialist services industries and accessible education... not backbreaking dumb labor in a hot dark factory. your expectations are really low.

because the companies still don't invest enough in America and still have preference for other countries. instead of buying foreigners loyalty, which doesn't work, he's punishing them for not putting America first, because America is the only reason the companies are successful in the first place.

Well im just thinking anything is better than nothing + higher prices

Not talking about buying foreigners loyalty, im talking about giving incentives to americans.

That's where you're wrong, kiddo.
What you'll get is a failed country, looting, anarchy, AND higher prices.

All while Zion Don gloats at you on his pay-to-post social media site.

Anything good is slandered as socialist. The american has been propagandized to hate any function of government. Offer them free education and theyll contrive some moral qualm against it.

Well i hope im not wrong because what you described sounds like shit lol.

why didn't he just let china continue fucking around without finding out?

We've got one foot in it and the other on a banana peel.

those companies have foreign headquarters and foreign CEOs, COOs, etc. their loyalties aren't to America even though they make all their money from Americans. if they jack up their prices Americans won't buy their stuff and they will sink their company.

completely ignores bribem's ridiculous and disastrous administration

You leftoids and your fucked up selective memory.

The idea with incentives for americans is that china has less and less to fuck around with. Instead of taking money from americans making it even more difficult to create new ventures.

Wouldnt incentives for Americans to create NEW ventures be helpful?

Trump fucks up the country

I point it out

OH YEAH? WELL THE DEMOCRATS FUCKED UP THE COUNTRY TOO

No matter how bad things get, even if we see a depression. Maga will still convinced themselvess they dodged a bullet, and some greater imagined woe would have befallen them if a dem had gotten elected.

Trump just signed a bunch of EO's for that on top of the existing incentives for Americans to start their own companies. the tariffs are for the big box stores that have taken over the market and take advantage of American consumerism while investing nothing in the US.

I dont see how incentives for americans can be helpful while youre also causing them to have increased expenses at the same time.

Thats why i said why didnt he just go with incentives and let the transition take place on a timeframe tailored for americans to prosper. They still need products from these outsources industries to build locally first.

i don't see

then watch how it unfolds. you don't know how it ends all you know is you don't like the tariffs because you think it will make things too expensive. if things are too expensive then the company can't sell them and they lose access to American market which is 40% of the world.

Why didnt he incentivize companies to produce in america with tax breaks instead of putting tariffs on the outsourced industries which would only be passed onto americans?

That's what a tariff is. If you move your factory to the USA, you don't get tariffed. Taiwan, Apple, and UAE already agreed to 10 year plans to move 2 trillion over just to avoid tariffs.

I’m a HUGE fan of tariffs and a tepid supporter of Trump.

Trumps tariffs are dumber than shit and I’m pissed.

if things are too expensive then the company can't sell them and they lose access to American market which is 40% of the world.

Theres not much they can do when a 3500% tariff is places by trump, not them. This is just solar panels, but the point is that the tariffs are coming out of americans pockets and no one can change that but trump.

I don’t understand the mechanism by which these tariffs cause countries to hold more American dollars.

I don't know if I've given up hope on we the people people or the government.

Do Americans have the ability to survive the wait for manufacturing to move back here? So many are only skimming by because of cheap Chinese goods that they'll loose their home before that $50/hr assembly line job shows up in 3-5 years.

And if people start losing homes, blackrock and the rest are probably smart enough to sit on cash to buy it all back up.

Somehow I just feel like WE THE PEOPLE are always getting screwed and the best thing the government could actually do is cut spending to less than taxes and let us pay down the debt over the next 30 years.

But congress just keeps up with the spending, it's increasing faster than DOGE is cutting.

Im talking about NEW ventures, and while the little guy is crushed with expenses from tariffs in procuring necessary products to build, he is stifled.

Always with the incentives. The best incentive is to just get your hands out of everyone's wallets, yet they leave our taxes the same and then give breaks to (some) of us who qualify. Why not just cut taxes super low when they can and do print all the money they need...oh, right.

Do Americans have the ability to survive the wait for manufacturing to move back here?

I think it could be done on the federal governments dime in the form of tax breaks for the little guy. Sure.

theres not much they can do

they can cooperate. otherwise no one in America will buy their product.

Yep preaching to the choir on taxes. Im still paying for programs that i have no idea why they still exist while i struggle to pay electric.

they can cooperate.

Good luck forcing them to do what you want i guess. Just hasnt worked yet.

Just hasnt worked yet

no? i could have sworn that a whole bunch of countries, like dozens of then, reached agreements and made deals because they didn't want to lose access to the American market.

Is that why trump said people were getting queezy? The list of successes?

Is that why

now you are changing the direction of the discussion. you originally said:

Good luck forcing them to do what you want i guess. Just hasnt worked yet

to which i replied it worked for a bunch of other countries that made deals to avoid tariffs. which country are you worried about, is it china? they've been in the news today.

Im just saying that if the outcome was good then why did trump say people were getting queezy? Shouldnt they have restored faith?

i'm just saying

you are saying nothing relevant to what is happening as of today's date. being that this is the topic of tariffs and trade current information is necessary to further the discussion. as of today dozens of countries have acquiesced to trade deals and agreements, china has agreed to one today as well. whether or not people were "queasy" is not current based upon those developments.

Why didnt he incentivize companies to produce in america with tax breaks

Because the president does not have the power to change tax rates. For fuck's sake if you don't know how our system of government works and can't even use a search engine to figure this shit out for yourself you're far too stupid to be concerned in such adult matters. You should probably stick to professional wrestling or niggerball for entertainment.

The screenshot i shared was from yesterday

Because the president does not have the power to change tax rates.

I thought he was part of the republican party

and? how is that relevant to

as of today dozens of countries have acquiesced to trade deals and agreements, china has agreed to one today as well.

also can i have the link to that site i want to compare some prices.

backbreaking dumb labor in a hot dark factory.

Have you ever seen a modern factory?

Why am i not confident that much has changed? Could it be that because nothing has changed in months and china essentially called America a terrorist not to be negotiated with? What did they say exactly? It was something very philosophical like.

I thought he was part of

Seriously, son, if you don't even understand how our system of government works and are too stupid to figure out how to use a search engine you shouldn't worry about these things.

The republican party is more than the executive branch.

china says a lot of things but all that matters is they do not own the American economy. if they want to make money in America they have to come to terms otherwise they will have to make their money elsewhere. you bring up old information and a picture of a random product that can probably be found cheaper elsewhere.

china says a lot of things but all that matters is they do not own the American economy.

Why tariff?

The great reset by other means. also the north american union. He's a traitor shill.

because if they want to make money off of the American market they need to make things more beneficial for America. otherwise they will be priced out and will have to make their money somewhere else. again, that product you posted can probably be found somewhere cheaper.

Hey thanks for chat btw i have things to tend to now.

Because if you don't force them to do what you want they won't do it. There is really no issue with that. Its just that libtards are fucked in the head.

It would answer your question if you knew shit about fuck.
Trump wants to minimize US debt as part of his economic plan and collecting tariff funds from the bougie class is much easier and more popular than taxing.

from the bougie class

Rich people spend a miniscule fraction of their income on consumer goods.
Poor people spend almost every penny they get on consumer goods.

more popular than taxing

In what meaningful way is this not a tax?
In what way is doubling the price of basically everything going to be popular?

see:

Because the main purpose of the tariffs is to help his rich friends. All of the big industries are getting exemptions. The tariffs were never about bringing manufacturing back to America, but to prop up big businesses at the expense of the poor and middle class.
