The problem is not just tariffs. It's IP, and the trade deficit. Thailand is taking the $30+ billion they get from the US and they send that money straight to China. Thailand has a trade surplus with the US, but a deficit with China. This is what Trump is addressing. Countries are going to need to pick a side, either China or the US. AI is going to rapidly expand the military industrial complex and the winner of the AI race potentially secures a 1000 year reign.

People as uneducated as you shouldn't be allowed to post on here. The US consumes 30% of all goods in the world.

I mean that as you didn't watch them. Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Clearly you aren't very bright.

Didn't even watch them. Typical NPC.

The only reason leftoids are against tariffs is because they're NPCs who parrot what the media tells them. Literally zero critical thinking skills at all. Their thinking comes down to "Trump supports it? I hate it!" It's already been confirmed that 45% of the general population has zero internal thoughts/monologue, it's quite easy to see who those 45% are in this thread.

I understand far better than you do pal. Go back to watching Richard Maddow.

Hyperbole much? A plastic bucket would need about a 1,000% tariff to hit 30 bucks.

I think it's the woman's fault at this point for going with them if that happens. They know the reputation that indians have, it's not uncommon at all and it should be EXPECTED that there will be an additional set of men back at the hotel.

I love how you leftoids all assume you're secret geniuses that could run the government far better than anyone on the right.

It's called a privilege tax for being able to participate in the largest consumer economy in the world. Don't like it? Sell to the Chinese.

Blah blah blah. Do you just sit on here and seethe about trump all day every single day? He came up with the rates to try and zero out trade deficits, that's the entire point. Why don't you get a gf or something instead of sitting on here posting about US politics all day when you have such bad takes as it is?

He wants IP laws enforced too. MBK Center in Bangkok was specifically listed as a top offender selling counterfeit products.

A lot of trinket sellers will drop prices. Corporations will as well. You don't get it, corporations import cheap products like tshirts from bangladesh for $1 and sell them for $25, the tariff is like $0.35 it's not a big deal and they'll eat the costs.

That hurts thai people even harder. They build the parts here, send them overseas and import the car at a huge markup. I hope these tariffs wake countries up and they start diversifying their economies away from manufacturing cheap garbage to export to America. Countries that set themselves up like that besides China all stay poor because they're currencies and wages need to stay low or the corporation ups and leaves to the next slave pit.
