There ought to be a tariff on Trump whenever he says something stupid.
Maybe that will raise his IQ.

Tariffs don't impact real people. The Chinese will pay for it.
Just like Mexico paid for the wall, DUPES.

Exactly, if Trump puts a 200% Tariff on a Toyota Prius for example Toyota Motor Company simply absorbs 300% of the tax...i mean it's just math, an easy win win.

Here……it’s still early, and I have some time left this am to help the Bedwetters here understand this.
From the article.
It depends which workers we’re talking about. Workers who produce the specific goods covered by tariffs typically benefit from the protection. While it is difficult to pin down exact numbers, the tariffs on steel products appear to have ; similarly, tariffs on washing machines are associated with at Whirlpool, Samsung, and LG factories in the US. In these specific industries, then, tariffs have probably been good for workers.
See how tarrifs can have an immediate effect…..good right?
Now here is where you need to be a little patient……sometimes a tariff needs to be in place a bit for the second level of benefit to kick in.
Again, from the article…..
But any benefits for workers in import-competing industries need to be balanced against losses for two other groups of workers. First, many workers are employed in factories that use imported goods as inputs in their production processes, and when these imports increase in cost due to tariffs, it harms their production, often leading to job losses. Second, when the U.S. unilaterally imposes tariffs, American trading partners often implement retaliatory tariffs which may limit U.S. export production, again ultimately harming workers in these industries.
These industries needed time for the manufacturing sectors supplying those inputs to develop in the US…….given time, the tarrifs would have balance the real cost of an item. With all the rage regarding price gouging and corporate greed, you think making them pay the real cost of manufacturing would be welcomed……but alas……

I’m sure you just told a great story about some Tariff theory and background, but so far Tiny Hands has only bellowed about yuuge mean mega tariffs seemingly for spite and malice not technical tweaks here and there to “level the playing field “

I actually feel great.
This needs to happen, for things to get worse, before they begin to get better.

It's the truth. We've been toying with you mentally ill people since Reagan.
It feels good not to be responsible for screwing up a strong economy, for example, though it will be a chore to clean it up. Like always.

They were so angry some of them went to the Capitol and smeared their own shit on the walls.
They are filthy, disgusting and deplorable people.
Let's not forget the tiki torch marching ghoulish incels.

Just a heads up for the MAGA Bros, after all the hod carriers and fruit pickers are sent packing, and before you go interview for those jobs, wash the Cheetos off your fingers.
