Fact check - true.

 

As you are fully aware, democrats and deep staters in the alphabet agencies moved heaven and earth to falsely claim the Biden corruption laptop was "Russian disinformation". It has long been proven enough voters would have voted Trump if they knew the depths of the Bidens treason and corruption.

 

 Glad to be of help keeping things real. I know irrational hatred is a real problem for wokies as they hold such hatred and misguided views. Good luck getting over it.

have you got your Trump phone and T-shirt Yet.  Heard him on youtube asking for money from all the maggots...what about that 57 ,million he claims to garnered so far this year on crypto?  Just wondering.

Trump's policies / decisions impact the Western world, including Australia, more often than not negatively. It seems you are unaware of this fact, so best for you to educate yourself outside of the US bubble.

How has anything Trump has done since 20th Jan impacted you personally?

I remember you were crying about US social security payments, how on earth does that effect you in Australia?

I live in Thailand, my life has not be effected by Trump whatsoever... but do tell of the hardship you now face

Try educating your self on how Trump's tariffs and other matters will negatively affect Australia and other nations. Regards Thailand, looks as though you don't care about Thais in general only yourself However...

'Will', not 'have' and nothing can be set in stone until they are signed.., so its purely speculative and down to those countries to made a good deal.

Trumps whole campaig was America first, you knew that back in 2016, so, apart from the obvious mental turmoil, how has trump impacted your life?

The tariffs are being negotiated to level the playing field, you dont seem to care about how the current tariffs negatively affect US companies. You seem to preach to others,  when only caring about yourself.

Personally i couldnt care, i live in Thailand and use Thai products, rarely buy imported goods.

Perhaps you should educate yourself on both side of tariffs, not just your narrow minded anti Trump version

By increasing costs to the Australian economy and trying to alter Australian trade by utilising tariffs even though Australia does not have a trade gap with the US. Basically, IMO, Trump is a prat by damaging allies diplomatic relationships and trade with the USA for his own insular goals. MAGA US citizens for reasons unknown believe Trump applying tariffs on trade partners will be paid by the exporter rather than the importer i.e. USA. Indicates a level of lack of education by some US citizens. A quote from Trump...

How is a "tax on Americans" going to negatively affect Australia? Or are you walking back on the position that Trumps beautiful tariffs will only hurt Americans? See, that is the problem with latching onto false and silly democrat narratives.

If you were so against tariffs, where were your threads about the 100% tariff Biden put on Chinese EV's?? Silence, because the msm didnt tell you about it... you are so false, a typical trump hater who will never accept anything he does as good, and only get your info from typical trump bashing media. The same as most here.

Trump isnt changing tariffs to help Australians, French, British, etc etc, he is doing it to help Americans, thats what his 'America first' means. The UK could certainly do with his attitude rather that being everyones weak little lapdog.

Its down to your ambassador to negotiate a deal that suits both sides... why dont people understand this simple fact.

Because  shows on the screen when he has posted somthing, i sometime look to see if its anything worthwhile, but never is.

 

 

Also using Nick names or purposely mispelling someones name goes against the forum rules, if i were a weak half man anti Trumper, i would report your comment and try to get you banned. But i am not, i dontt care.

American tariffs actually reduce prices for the rest of the world.

China can't afford to slow down production, so it has to dump the excess goods that the USA doesn't buy on the rest of the western world. It's unbelievable the price drops of solar panels and EVs we're currently seeing in Thailand.

So Trumps tariff shake up has benefits in various ways. I was thinking of solar, maybe now is the time.

If it's true Trump is trolling don't you think it is extraordinarily childish of a President to do so. I read a few days ago Trump made 60 social media posts in one day - this is the President of the USA for Christ sake!!!

To understand how it affects other countries you need an IQ higher than 2 digits I assume, but let's try.

 

The tariffs destroy the entire global economy, because countries that export to the US don't get buyers for their products, because Trump made them more expensive to import.

Those benefits Britman mentioned only apply to customers outside the US. Americans will pay higher prices for their solar.

I am not talking to my costs, but to the Australian economy in general. Australia and other allies of the US have lost many lives and treasure being engages in American overseas,  wars based upon lies by US,  since Korea - it has not been a free ride. Just to remind you it's the US tax payer who funds imported goods tariff costs - well overdue for you to wake up.

So far as I know Biden did not place new tariffs on Allies. However...

 

The previous administration (Trump) tried a trade approach that relied only on tariffs and corporate tax cuts, and it failed to solve the big problems facing domestic production. It did not truly reorient global supply chains away from China, nor did it rebuild American industrial might. By contrast, the Biden administration’s approach of coupling smart, strategic, targeted tariffs with actual investment in American industry is delivering enormous results.

Finally. It's like pulling teeth. 

 

So, you are either admitting the narrative of it's the Americans that pay the Trump tax(tariffs) is BS or that production of goods has indeed moved to the US. Or are you claiming American consumers stopped consuming? Another false narrative of the conspiratorial left busted like a walnut in a cracker.

No. I'm stating as do all economists, the US taxpayer will be paying tariff (taxes) on goods  (presumedly services as well) imported into the US. Also Trump claiming tariff on imports iis the way forward to resolve US trade gaps is BS. Penalising Allied economies for US economic errors is not the way forward. Trump latest legislation is forecast to add a further four trillion to US national debt - the guy is NUTS...

No. I'm saying MAGA should recognise the contributions made by US allies during conflict. Not constantly blabbering on how the US has been ripped off, which in nonsense. Prior the US, as would any other country acted in it's national self interest. Trump needs to cease whining, it's boring and pathetic behaviour by a President of the USA.
