    Harm? The man is resetting the global terms of trade in America's favor. Opening up markets for American-made goods and driving literally trillions of manufacturing investments in America. And he's doing it without causing inflation. Investors see it -- which is why the stock market is soaring and economy is robust.

    On the other hand, Biden shipped jobs to foreign countries, gutted the middle class and lit a fire under inflation, crippling the spending power of the working class and running up historic deficits. He started wars, meanwhile Trump is ending wars. What a contrast.


    GOOD DAY

    yet another eg of Traitor George's willful ignorance !
    that's what
    • Herbert Hoover said during his ill-fated presidency in the late 1920s and.
    • Trump 1.0 saidin 2017

    Stupidity is immplementing the ill-conceived policies and expecting a difference outcome

    during Trump 1.0 rare earth material was a thorny issue as far as the tariff skirmishes with China was concern

    what has happen since?
    • China has strengthened its monopolistic control of rare earth material

    The ad---with President Reagan slamming the ineffectiveness of tariffs---so angered Trump that he lied about the ad
    as being AI-generated, and proceeded to call off negotiations with Canada.

    The Strident Canadian PM Says trade flows are likely to shift away from the United States,
    with Canada seeking new economic alliances

    [​IMG]

    PM Carney also said that Canada will increasingly look to strengthen ties elsewhere as tariffs and diverging climate policies
    reshape global supply chains.

    He has separately said that, while Canada “can’t control the trade policy of the United States,” it can control whether
    it chooses to develop “new partnerships and opportunities including with the economic giants of Asia.”

    There is the tiniest glimmer of hope that at least a handful of Republicans haven't entirely sold their souls to trump.

    The conservative OC Register, local news outlet in SoCal, had endorsed Trump for President 3 time. Even it has blasted Trump's ill-conceived / half-assed Tariffs war.


    When reckless politics born of mere personal spite is thrown into the mix, heedless of how it will affect commerce and consumers, that’s an unforced error, with real consequences for real people.

    Another such error on the international economic stage is just what President Trump’s recent slapping of an additional 10% tariff on all Canadian goods is.

    He ordered the disruptive hike in prices for the entirely capricious reason that he didn’t personally like a television ad produced by the province of Ontario.

    When a president of the United States’ fiscal instincts are based on whim, whatever the content of such an ad might be almost doesn’t matter. But that it happened to be based on a radio talk President Ronald Reagan gave in 1987 correctly warning about how international tariffs always hurt consumers — well, the ironies abound.

    That’s an irresponsible snit fit.

    Because he can’t respond with actual monetary-policy logic, Trump brands the ad a “FRAUD” because the audio from Reagan has been edited for its best bits, which are boiler-plate facts from Economics 101 about the salutary effects of free trade on the nations of the world.
