Nobody said that taking on China wouldn’t have a cost but in the long run it will pay big dividends which includes protecting and increasing US Jobs, wage growth, reduction in trade deficits, a reduction in Fetanyl killing Americans and fair trade, which includes China stops its dumping practice and currency manipulation.
Also removing supply chains from China on matters
of National security. And the reigning in on China’s abuses on Intellectual property, something they’ve been taking the piss on for years. It’s about time someone stood up to these cunts, especially when they are building out their military and expanding their influence globally, I know I don’t want my kids to live in a world where China is the worlds super power.

So fuck you and your silly little comments about minor blips that will show up in the data. At the end of the day we wi come out ahead and Trumps Tariffs will bear fruit.


Still no signs of stagflation are there? 

One of these days you’ll be right about something. In the meantime I’ll sit back and watch as the US taxpayer continues to tally the wins!


MAGA!
You sound like you’re going to cry about China.

Your gigantic national debt isn’t a blip, neither is it growing by 8%. Trump is making a bad problem worse.

as for the rest, I pointed out below that your manufacturing input costs are going up while output is slowing off and jobs are being lost.

TACO 🌮 
And you sound like you have no clue what you are talking about z How many more times do you have to be proven wrong before the penny drops ffs!

Talk about stuck on stupid.

We’ll keep taking on the hard issues, the ones that Biden was too stupid to do anything about and you continue to make yourself look the ignorant cսnt that you are.

All you do is repeat idiotic liberal soundbites you get from the left wing propagandist news outlets that have been proven time and time again to be full of shit.

One of these days you’ll catch a clue although I wouldn’t put money on it!


Admit it, you’re a bit dumb.
Your national debt is a liberal sound bite is it? 😂 😂 😂 

Or the government prepared manufacturing numbers? 😂 😂 😂 

those bloody ‘liberal’ facts keep tripping you up don’t they?

$23bn of cost put into consumer goods? Yeh two thumbs up.
meanwhile the interest on your national debt is $952bn annually up 8% year on year. In part fuelled by the growth in borrowing costs triggered by tariffs. Enjoy paying that son.

What is the alternate response to Trump's policies?  Comedic Memes?   Tax wealth creators to pay for an illegal underclass? Spend regardless and leave the mess for our children to deal with? Let China and the rest of the word take the piss unabated?

Congrats for making steel more expensive 👏🏻 

consumer spending was at 0.2%
inflation increased month on month
input manufacturing costs have gone up
manufacturing output and jobs have declined 

all the while your national debt grows & grows, and Trump wants to increase it 👏🏻

At a rally in Pittsburgh Trump announced the $14 Billion Nippon deal with US Steel. It secures over 100k jobs in the rust belt. He announced that any imported steel  will be subject to a 50% Tariff, an increase of 25% of current levels. Basically pricing out foreign steel. Another big win for the US worker.

Rick Santelli was pretty excited this morning on MSNBC when going over the latest economic numbers. Wage growth was a big surprise to the upside while inflation is almost at the Feds 2% target rate. A lot lower than what it was under Biden.

Strong job market, inflation in check stock market up not a bad start. 

the Stagflationists have all gone quiet.

How about covering the interest on their national debt which is costing more and more because this little episode has pushed borrowing rates up?

Sales will vary to the circumstances. Taxes will play a factor in any business decisions. Taxes always make things more expensive but ultimately taxes go somewhere. Its where they go that ultimately matters.

Trump's tariff tally: $34 billion and counting, global companies say -

https://www.reuters.com/business/trumps ... 025-05-29/

President Donald Trump's trade war has cost companies more than $34 billion in lost sales and higher costs, according to a Reuters analysis of corporate disclosures, a toll that is expected to rise as ongoing uncertainty over tariffs paralyzes decision making at some of the world's largest companies.

What a fucking mess.
Elon has fucked him off as well.


“during a White House event earlier held before the ruling was published, Trump was asked about a nickname given to him by some critics on Wall Street: Taco - which stands for "Trump always chickens out".

Since returning to office for a second time, Trump has repeatedly changed his stance on tariffs - for instance, rates on China have been slashed from 145% to 30%. Trump said "it's called negotiation" when asked about his changing stance on tariff rates, and accused a reporter of asking a "nasty question".”

"I was bickering, or rather joking, with my wife," Macron told reporters in Hanoi. "It's nothing."He cautioned that this was not the first time in recent weeks that the content of videos of him had been twisted by people he described as "crackpots".


Well which is it, Macron, bickering or joking? Because they are 2 very different things and your bullshit cover-up doesn't stack up. 

And don't give us any of that old flannel about it being your 'wife', we all know it has bigger bollocks than you do.

Wow. They're downplaying domestic violence whilst gaslighting everyone that witnessed it now..

An Elysee official said of the latest video: "It was a moment when the president and his wife were relaxing one last time before the start of the trip by having a laugh. It was a moment of closeness."
