Do you agree with President Trump that “tariffs are a beautiful thing”?

[DrAdams]

I sure do - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Yes

No

[lightbulb27]

we'll no. its a tool, might address some issues and balance the system economically. but costs will go up and divisions occur.

I think that means a return to quality products produced in USA... because we redesign them to last longer (undo planned obsolesecence) and they will cost more because... we produce in USA at higher wage levels and standards vs cheap asia labor. That, can be good... less waste, better environmental standards vs china pollution.

it won't be against only china, vietnam and others be an issue... the world parts...

that, is not necessarily a beautiful thing...

Do you even understand how tarriffs work? Did you eat the paint flakes by your crib? WE PAY THEM!! Not importers!! They pass it on to YOU!! Tarriffs are meant to protect FLEDGLING domestic industries n jobs, not generate revenue!! JFC has every MAGA failed ECO101?

It was so great to bail out all the farmers with 19 billion in taxpayer money to make up for all the money they lost in his first tariff war.

They will make most things more expensive. Making it even harder for most americans to afford things.

When applied correctly they can be useful. Trump uses them as a club in. Negotiations with other countries.

[Syntosi]

Tariffs are basically just inflation. If that is what you want then that is what you want I guess.

[msc545]

No. Trump has no understanding of economics, and no understanding of the effects of tarriffs.

[DryGermanGuy]

Man, you are dumb as a box of rocks. 🤦‍♂️

[msmissydc]

Why would you insult a box of rocks? They have done nothing wrong.

[NathanDavis]

@msmissydc maybe he meant to say "as dense as a box of igneous rocks"

[Dargil]

They can be selectively.

Such an embarrassment.
