What are you trying to accomplish by coming here and ragging on this country? Do you actually exoect to cause changes, or does it make you feel good to see your words online?

Why don't you look at the countries people are leaving in hopes of a better life and try to change them? You may have heard T-bag call them 'sh!tholes and that's exactly what they are.

Americans don’t like listening to the truth!

Additionally, and this is where U.S. consumers do not get a fulsome explanation from corporate media analysts, the tariff rate is applied to the ‘cost’ the exporter pays, not the final consumer price. A pair of jeans from China may be sold to the import company for $5 per pair. A 30% tariff raises the price of the jeans by $1.50 to $6.50. The tariff rate does not apply to the retail price of $50 paid by the consumer."

Where's the $50 figure coming from? They go from $5 + $1.50, so then it should be Americans are still paying $5 while the exporter is paying $6.50 and lose money.

Good grief.

A tariff is a sales tax on imports. Who do you think ends up paying that?

And what happened to the "90 deals in 90 days" that TACO promised?

Puff

Some do, some don't.

Much more at the article, with embedded sources...

Who pays the $1.50 if not the consumer. Someone in the US does and bet mostly passed on to consumers one way or another. Maybe that $50 includes it.
And, is it realistic that a $5 item retail for $50?

Unless he is in that business tracking import price before tariff and final retail price, pure speculation.

Looks like Whitehouse propaganda to me.

Certainly, historically accurate.

That "article" didn't pass the laugh test. He'll find out soon enough that the Trump tariffs will (and do) harm the US economy, and that includes the constant on/off tariffs that generates much uncertainty making it very hard for businesses to make decisions.

You've made clear many times that you're an xenophobe and don't like foreigners having an opinion different than yours.

So, of course, you defend a MAGA writing "Knowing you are not an American citizen, I have this message for you - America will no longer be a host for the parasites of the world." after extolling Trump, ICE and mass deportations in another thread.

In your usual style you post a wall-of-text-reply of a stream of incoherent consciousness totally missing the point in that reply. That, of course, is nothing new from you.

So why are you posting here? You can't make a coherent argument about just anything while being completely resistant to any facts that contradicts your prejudiced opinions.

"We will be releasing a minimum of 7 Countries having to do with trade, tomorrow morning, with an additional number of Countries being released in the afternoon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Truth Social

Truth Social is America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.

7 more this morning. More coming in the afternoon. Keep whining. America will no longer be a host for the parasites of the world. If you want to be a friend to America - Great! We like friends.

I wonder if you're just a Russian troll.

 

[Trell]

I wonder if you are a 50 year old living in your mom's basement. Do you have a life? What is it? Where do you live?

Touched a nerve there, didn't I, wondering if you're a Russian troll?

Some of us do, but it helps when what we read and hear is the truth. Not 'your truth', not 'their truth', not 'his truth', not 'my truth'. THE TRUTH.

I don't have any problem with foreigners with different opinions, I have a problem when people who don't know, spouting BS when they haven't experienced it. Read about it all you want, that doesn't mean you truly understand.

You see posts as prejudiced, I write them in a way that indicates what's happening. Show me where I have ever used a racial slur or posted that I want all foreign people to leave. You can't.

 

[Trell]

Calmly reread what I wrote.

I touched a lot of nerves here with my posts. I'm used to the flak. I'm an an American who wants my country back. Most of America has woken up, and are now filled with a terrible resolve. Our numbers and resolve are increasing. We will no longer tolerate the parasites, criminals, and perversion of the world - neither foreign or domestic.

We are going to solve our own problems. I suggest you solve your own problems.

Let's assume that you're not a Russian troll nor an American colluding with the Russians i.e. a traitor.

From your posts you're not only full bore MAGA but also full bore Nazi, and anyone with a functioning moral compass are upset with your extreme and violent posts. We all know how you'll deal with "the parasites, criminals, and perversion of the world - neither foreign or domestic", a common theme in your posts.

But fret not! There are a number of members here that will give you support: @highfigh will defend you, if he can figure out what is actually written (and whine when called out). @Mikado463 will like your posts. There are some other members that don't comment on posts like yours any more (so I won't name them) but one of them would by now chime in and "thank you for your courage" while the Christian Soldier would be fantasizing about his assault weapons.

And, who is the arbiter of what is "THE TRUTH?'

 

[Mikado463]

Good question.............I'd say any politician, so long as he or she is keep their mouth shut would be considered truthful

 

[highfigh]

IF the events match the commentary, the argument could be made that the commentary is truthful but with so many talking about 'their truth', 'my truth', etc, it's just people telling others that their view is the only one that matters.

 

[highfigh]

What are the chances of a politician keeping their pie hole shut?

Lets see, instead of arguing, going back and forth, all we can do is fight the current Administration, as much as can be done. We have 3-1/2 more years of this non caring Administration and die hard Republicans.

What is required moving on, is the mid elections in 2026. The Democrats need the majority in the Senate and the House, to have some say in our Democracy. Hopefully there are enough Republican Voters, that have had enough of the Republican way, and switch.

The Democratic Party is not all that great either, but believe in Democracy, not a Dictatorship and non caring Republican Party, we have today.

Move on PEOPLE. It is sad, our society is filled with so much hate and know it all people. Those kind, will never change. Republicans don't CARE what you think.........My Way or The Highway........Folks.

This administration would rather manipulate their way into permanent power, sod the constitution.

They hate democracy and ipso facto the voting public. They are venal.

They devide, they self serve, they demean. They are corrupt.

And yet, here they are. Grandstanding over the American populace.

And that populace voted for them. Him. Who treats you with disdain.
