Wow, you posted this four minutes after the original post and you have watched the entire 56 minute video in those four minutes and decided it is left biased.

How do you expect to be taken seriously? You haven't even watched it!!

 

It was available on Sky before inclusion in the OP. Easy.

I think they deleted my post because I used a mocking name towards Donald Trump. I'm sorry, didn't think that was against the policy here.

 

Let's double down on the point though. Is anyone here falling for this propaganda still? You voted for Trump and now that poor African woman and her child are starving in some trash filled slum. Shame on you!

Here is an honest question,thanks to anyone who can answer me this.

The President of the United States of America has started to put tariffs on different goods

from different countries.

According to his own words"hundreds of billions"

Where is that money now?who is getting it?

Thanks in advance,

   The bigger question for me, and I am an American, is how one single person--even the President--has the authority to even do this.  Seems like madness to me to have one person--in this case extremely unstable and at least half nuts-- allowed to make these decisions with enormous consequences for the country--and the world economy.  This should be in the hands of Congress--along with a lot of the other bad unilateral actions Trump has been doing.

Highly unlikely.

"Highly unlikely", based on what?

You're an American that doesn't know how our government works ?  You should be ashamed.

Well it was the American voters of the USA that voted Donald Trump into power, and it will

be them that will have to vote him out of power.  I hope that they can convince this guy that

the way of tarriffs is maybe not the best way to go.

   Good luck to the rest of the world if Trump, Musk, and Vance continue to lead the USA

like this for very long. My Opinion of this sorry situation of course.

Several years ago I purchased a toy poodle puppy for my wife. The dog was not housebroken, and we both worked during the day, so when I came home from the office the dog had pooped and peed all over the house. I rubbed his nose in it and cleaned his snout by sticking it in the toilet bowl and flushing it. My wife felt so sorry for the dog and said that I was being very cruel and inhumane to the poor thing. My answer was "trust the process and be patient, and in the end we will all be better off including the puppy". Change is never easy, and sometimes it's very difficult and harmful, but difficult times requires difficulty measures. Go Trump!

       I'm questioning why so much power is now in the hands of one individual, even if it's, as I said, the President.   I know how our government is suppose to work.   As a reminder to you, Congress has the 'power of the purse', not the President.  Congress has the power to decide where US taxpayer money will be spent, not the President.   

    Congress, also as written in the Constitution, has the power to set tariffs, also not the President.  Unfortunately, over the years Congress has ceded much of this tariff power to the President.   In the past, Presidents worked with Congress in setting trade agreements and tariffs, with Congress's authorization.  With a dictator now in place, all bets are off and I'm suggesting that this shirking of its Constitutional duties has ultimately turned out to be very unwise and Congress needs to grow a pair. 

    And, there's no evidence of this current President working with Congress and getting Congress's authorization to make adjustments in tariffs.   I'm not even sure he's working with himself--one day it's this, the next day he's changed his mind.  Madness.  It's true that Presidents have some limited powers to adjust tariffs in the state of a national emergency.   I'm not seeing anything that could even be remotely be seen as a national emergency at this point that would justify Trump raising tariffs on his own.   Although we are just in the third month of the second term of the worst President in US history.

We can all be happy, even loony lefties that Harris isn't causing even more chaos around the world than Trump is.

 

BTW, Trump wasn't elected to be just another do nothing much Washington drone. So far pretty much according to plan, except for Ukraine. Can't win em all.

I'm loving watching the Demonrats' trough getting filled with concrete. It's high time they searched for a real job and made to live like the rest of us. It's plainly obvious all the furor taking place is a result of the cash cow being slaughtered. Long overdue, it's reality time. Next will be street wars again but this time it won't end well for the mucky mucks. Examples will be made of and hopefully the asylum constructions will begin, thus freeing up housing for deserving souls.
