Did all the foreign leaders that have tariffs on the US also complete the class?

Are tariffs good are bad?

You’ll never answer because you can’t stick up for the globalists and attack Trump without an answer that contradicts itself.

Idk, ask Salty's insiders.

I never said all tariffs were bad, GM. That has escaped you time and time again as you try to pretend I am for other countries' tariffs and against U.S. tariffs.

You can drop that fallacy. Dog won't hunt.

Blanket tariffs used as a blunt tool are typically bad, especially when they're illegal.

So some of Trumps tariffs are good?

I support the Section 301 tariff on drones manufactured in China that Tariffman implemented in 2018. I view that one as smart for a variety of reasons, including national security.

I would have preferred it be targeted instead of part of a blanket, but was happy it didn't get exempted.

Thats the spirit.

There’s many more than that however.

Not nearly as many as you think there should be

BREAKING: President Trump says he's going to give out the $2,000 tariff dividend check to middle class Americans WITHOUT Congress

This is HUGE for the midterms!

"$2K dividend and pay down debt. We'd set an income limit. We can make a payment to the people WITHOUT Congress!"

ROASTED: Jesse Watters just obliterated the entirety of Trump's opposition to tariffs, and reminded everyone of just how bad Democrats FAFO'd:

"The president's just gonna pick a different law, and put the tariffs back on. That's what happened today."

He hit the Democrats where it HURT when he said:

"I guess Trump's not a dictator anymore, because the court ruled against him, and he's gonna do what they say."

So much for the NO KINGS people insisting that Trump would wield power like a wild man and defy SCOTUS, especially on something like tariffs.

Kevin O’Leary who Iloves money more than anybody.

“There’s nothing wrong with reciprocal tariffs. If a country adds a 10% VAT tax and we don’t call it VAT tax in the US, we’ll just do a 10% tariff, there’s nothing wrong with that”

It's adorable that you believe that. Does anybody from MAGA understand the roles of the three branches of government? trump obviously doesn't.

It's fun watching you boys squirm and contort to spin this. Keep at it.

A VAT is not a tariff. Using your example a sales tax could be considered equivalent to a tariff and it’s not.

Here is a good article on the topic.

Sounds like a number of people hereabouts should be taking oldman’s tariff course at the learning annex.
