President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Again, I understand the desire to make consumers whole, but people shouldn't assume these tariffs were some sort of boon for importers, even if they eventually get full or partial refunds. Most companies cannot pass along 100% of tariff costs to customers. Margins usually are affected to some degree. And more importantly, profits are squeezed because demand obviously is elas
I'm sure a bunch of people lost jobs because of those decreased margins. No way to make them whole.
If Bibles, and only Bibles, disintegrated at the touch of my hand, and only my hand, I would find that very worrisome.
Donald Trump sells bibles for $70 each
Only an idiot believes this guy isn’t a conman out for every dollar he can get
It is literally all he thinks about.
Wow that could almost be his first ok joke.
That is, if he had a semblance of self-awareness, the slightest concept of self-deprecation, and wasn't being 100% serious.
To watch his sychophants rise and cheer with their plastic smiles over and over, to watch them participate in the charade, in a knowing charade (as has happened all throughout political history) ... is just a demonstration of the human inclination to kowtow, bootlick, piggyback, genuflect, worship ... and most poignant of all, to make believe.

Oh please it happens no matter whom the President is the one side stands non stop while the other side sits on their hands like their dog died. Some of them couldn't even stand for the US Hockey team

Not for fascism. I think you forgot that little detail. Nobody denies partisanship, even naked partisanship, but partisanship is not a charade dear leader exhibition.
I think the Sage thing wins me over. I'm for Trump and Liberty U crew. "These people are crazy; there I said it, " goes the Creature of Queens, in regard to the wokers. Beautiful. I can just see my granny in wonder at the power of Jesus and Trump.
Mixed bag as always. He's way better than you think he can be at times, but it's always laced with his toxic shadow, long denied, long wielded as a weapon against others, reality and veracity. The Unreality King POTUS careens on, full of himself, as full of himself perhaps as any human being who has ever lived given his ascension in and glorification by his party, and beyond that by millions, by hundreds of millions, by billions(?). The creature soaks it in: perhaps the all-time case of narcissistic supply.

You're starting to sound more and more like Craig1120 (stylistically).
So if I understand this correctly...Calculations so far tell us that say that American households have paid an extra 1300$ on average in what is essentially an indirect tax (could be an old number, it is just one I remember from what seemed to be a serious article). Meaning companies pay additional tax and to not lose money, most of that cost is recouped by raising prices on go
The average consumer paid exactly $0 more than he otherwise would if there were not tariffs for everything he buys for the year.
It seems many of you can't grasp the idea that tariffs are NOT inflationary. You pay more for items effected by the tariffs so you have less money left to buy items not effected tariffs so those prices are forced down and the net effect is no additional inflation.

I don't think that logically follows.

Do you honestly believe that the prices move in response to tariffs in as uncomplicated a way as you describe?
OH THE HORROR!
We've got mass poverty and homelessness, foreign misadventures resulting in needless mass death, brownshirts roaming around terrorizing immigrants (and sometimes just random non-white people they assume are immigrants), manufacturing consent for a ridiculously moronic invasion of Iran, and all the while, the effectively controlled opposition Democratic Party is doing little to nothing to stop any of these actual horrors, but even all of that is not enough if a few of them don't stand up for a goddamn hockey team (who cares?!?)
Also, not that it even matters, but Trump does even worse versions of this on the other side, like when he petulantly disinvited the Golden State Warriors from the White House visit in his first term, or that **** he said about that soccer lady Rapinoe, or etc., or etc., or etc...

You aren't even trying anymore.
The US hockey bros already got to party with Kash Patel (doesn't this guy have an entire Bureau of Investigations to run? Why is it that we only see him partying? Poor Nancy Guthrie would probably be recovered already if we had functioning humans in the FBI), isn't that enough?
remembering that the guy who necked Charlie Kirk was only caught because his goddamn dad convinced him to turn himself in
LOLOLOL
If I were one of these right-wingers, I'd be infinitely more concerned about getting at least minimally competent people in charge of our institutions than anything the extraordinarily feckless Dems are up to
