People criticizing tariffs, do they have a degree in Economics?

[Douglas1180]

Many people are criticizing Trump over tariffs, but here’s the economic reality:

1. Companies like Target will raise prices due to higher import costs.
2. As prices rise, demand may decrease, but this also creates an opportunity for domestic
3. Over time, that will lead to more American manufacturing and less reliance on foreign imports.

When America prioritizes self-reliance, economic prosperity follows.

American Independence (1776 & Beyond) – Breaking free from British trade restrictions allowed the U. S. to develop its own industries

The American System (Early 1800s) – Policies promoting domestic manufacturing, infrastructure investment, and yes, tariffs, helped industries grow, making the U. S. less dependent on imports.

Post-Civil War Industrial Boom (Late 1800s - Early 1900s) – A surge in American manufacturing, steel production, and railroads led to rapid economic expansion

Post-WWII Manufacturing Dominance (1945-1970s) – With much of the world recovering from war, America’s self-reliant manufacturing sector boomed

Energy Independence (2010s-Present) – Advances in oil and natural gas production reduced reliance on foreign energy

Honorary economics degree from the Wharton School of Business awarded. 🧑‍🎓 Yay!

"As prices rise demand may increase"

If that degree stuff is true you should get your money back.

He said "AS prices rise demand may decrease."

[DrPepper12]

Yes. I quoted it. It's still THE OPPOSITE even if you capitalize "AS".

When in the history of capitalism has increased prices resulted in increased demand? Please. I really want to hear this answer because I KNOW the only good and circumstances where that holds true.

Here's the economic reality. Look at the equity and debt markets today. And that's only the beginning.

I'm sure many of people will screenshot this post and throw it right back at you when your economy does not prosper.

[Douglas1180]

I'll give an update when it does. We've already brought the AI sector and semiconductor manufacturing to home base. Who's going to stop us now? Who ever has stopped us in the past? We're Americans, baby.

[Lowly_Grumper]

There is no link between global news and economies. Global news are just virtual illuminati rituals that plant symbolism into your subconscious so that you help manifest the future they want. But the symbols, such as tarrifs, may not be always directly significant, almost like the bible isn't meant to be interpreted literally.

@douglas1180. Your misinformed patriotism is amusing if it wasn't so dangerous. Google "Taiwan" & "semiconductor" when the coma breaks

[SmokinAces2000]

This is the main problem I see with Trump supporters. You guys think he’s constantly playing 3d chess and everything leads to everything and it’s all going to workout but that’s not reality.

You can either understand tariffs, or you can pay the damage from them.

[Anonymous]

No, but I know for a fact that Trump is a nut case.
