“Tariffs are not good for my business. I’ve explained this.”
We get it. This is all about you, your business, and your inability to react to market conditions.
So you voted for the man 3 times without understanding what policies he would implement that weren’t good for you and your business, and you’ve just figured out in the last 8 months what he is going to do and can’t run a business that can react to it
Trump really pulled the wool over your eyes. Bait and switched the hell outta ya.
Oh but I forgot, you’ll also “be fine”
Maybe it’s best if you add yourself to the list of businesses gallo keeps holding out as his evidence tariffs are bad
Or, maybe you could acknowledge that tariffs are being used as leverage to change behaviors of other countries and as negotiating positions to effect positive long term change for the US.
Rather than just continue to tell us that it’s bad for your business, but you’ll be fine, from the decisions of the guy you voted for 3 times, without ever paying attention to what he was saying before voting for him
I know I know. MAGA and “America First” were real nebulous concepts. Trump did a terrible job telegraphing where he wanted the US to go

i have said that i would be in agreement with paying some tariff amount for the benefit of the whole. and why would you claim i have been unable to react to market conditions? You know something i don't know? you claimed tariffs are good for american business. and i am telling you, they are not good for every american business in all industries. your statement was not correct.

don't remember paying 50% tariffs during his first term or him campaigning about it. does america first mean no more free trade?
and do you think the president should have the power to regulate trade and impose tariffs? and do you think a 15% blanket tariff on all countries for 150 days is good for american business? if so, should it be more? why not 100%? whatever trump thinks best?

I’m a republican and did for for trump. Doesn’t mean I have to agree with every one one of his policies. I do not agree with him on putting a tariff on the industry I work in. Like I said before, I paid $15M in tariffs in the last 12 months and all of it was borne by US companies. Manufacturing for these items isn’t coming back to the US with these tariffs. And I only got a 5% reduction in price from foreign supplier.
It’s actually worse than raising taxes for me. I have to pay upfront before I get and sell the material. Sucks. And only US businesses are hurt in my situation.
You ate up with that TDS, ain't you, cuckboy!

also didn't think he would throw a fit when the supreme court ruled against him to the point where he is calling barrett and gorsuch a disgrace and throwing a 15% blanket tariff on all countries for 150 days.

So you’re in agreement with “some”. But not 50%. Because it’s bad for your business. Only it’s not because you can react to market conditions. Except you’ve spent 8 pages complaining about it. But you’ll be fine. Because you voted for him 3 times.
Maybe the problem is you don’t know what the frick you think. Or worse you’re caught in so many different lies (I voted for him but this is bad but I’m fine but but but) that you’ve turned yourself into a horses arse of contradictions.
Yes I think the President and his administration is in charge off foreign policy. Yes I think they and every other admin can impose tariffs to affect foreign policy and behaviors. Yes I think they can impose sanctions and embargo’s as well.
Is 10% right. 15. I don’t know. He’s had 24 hours to react.
But you’ll be fine no matter what. Because you can react to market conditions. And you’re in favor of “some”. It’s just you’re just smarter than Trump and bessent and Rubio and the rest of the people you voted for 3 times who are in charge.
Let’s hope you get added to the foreign policy team soon. You can use your business and your consistent positions on your resume.

1) he called some of the justices a disgrace. Some of them are
2) he didn’t pitch a fit he stated he now needs to move in other directions to accomplish his objectives
3) the 150 days is the time this particular Act provides him. While he regroups. I though a smart policy wonk like you would be all over that
Stop lying your TDS is showing toward the guy you voted for 3 times.

Yes because it’s impossible to negotiate prices either with your suppliers( competitive costs) or raising your price to the end user.
No business in history has ever done either
Sounds like you have no idea how to run a successful business. Maybe you should get together with the golfer. It’s effecting his business. Except that it’s not.
My gawd the sky is falling. Except it’s been falling for 8 months and you dipshits all of a sudden want to make an issue out of it

no, i have reacted. doesn't mean it is not bad for business. my business will survive just less profits and less growth. and cut jobs if they go back to 50%.

so president should have power to regulate trade and impose tariffs and not Congress? i don't believe so.

By the way, where were you dipshits when the Biden admin fumblefricked the back side of COVID via inflationary spending on useless shite and a supply chain debacle.
Back then we had real and permanent 9% increases in prices because they didn’t know what the hell they were doing.
Oh yeah that’s right. Lsugolf was busy getting ready to vote for Trump for the 3rd time.
So full of shite.

i don't think blanket tariffs are good for America and I don't think trump believes that either. i believe it was just a rash decision after he lost.

love how some of you think companies can just pass on the entire tariff amount to customers without any loss of business or get a reduction in costs to offset the tariff amount. like magic!

There's a really easy way to end this. Tell other countries to drop their tariffs on our exports and level the playing field.
That would have made way too much sense. Tariffs have a place, but its to protect from unfair competition...like the Chicoms subsidizing industries and then flooding markets with materials at a loss for the first few years of operation.

i voted for trump 3 times and this sucks. paying money to the government versus keeping it in my business and my customers' businesses isn't ideal.
You voted for him three times. Tariffs weren’t hidden. They weren’t subtle. They weren’t buried in policy white papers. They were a central plank of his economic message from 2016 forward. Trade wars, China, “they’re ripping us off,” all of it was front and center.
By the third vote, he was absolutely a known quantity. He had already imposed tariffs in his first term. The effects were debated publicly for years. But you're upset about tariffs now like you discovered something new?
You don’t get to eat at the restaurant three times and then act shocked that they serve spicy food.
To borrow a phrase from MAGA, "This is what you voted for." YOU are responsible for this.
