Armagedon

The prices will come down to remain competitive but retail will increase prices and enjoy a sweet margin. JMHO

Well which country can absorb the tariffs if they increase local prices? Americans who have an median annual household income of $84,000 or Chinese who have a median annual income of $10,000 and have 1 billion peasants in the country side who don't have toilets.

Well I guess Isis or whatever it was called had been stamped out for 15 minutes, time for a new boogie man ... the stock market collapse and war .... lol

[furrowtickler]

Just something else for the peasants to panic about.
Never ending B/S to keep the masses distracted

BTW, just because someone dislikes,Trump, it doesn't make him a socialist. I just don't like lunatics that stand at a rally with The Bible in his hand talking about Pro Life while the truth about his sex with a porn star is swirling.

Also, so Trump tries to bring American companies back to manufacturing in the US. But same companies left the US because of high labour costs. So Trump is trying to force companies back into the hands of unionized workers? Almost sounds like extreme socialism to me.

84,000 dollars can buy a lot of cheap Chinese products. And some of them are not the cheap low end stuff but cheap name brands. When USA prices go up it will be interesting to see if the 10,000 gang suffer more or the 84,000 gang.
What trump is doing is making the millionaires billionaires and the middle class will pay for it.

That dumb **** has no plan what so ever other than play his high roller I don’t care if I go bankrupt because all the working people will pay for it anyway routine. Over and over Ian’s over again. All you right-tards supporting the man with his hand up his daughters panties, who wants to build America but never pays taxes well who’s going to pay for the build then hahahahaha

The art of the dim whit con man is the latest novel.

There are how many billion people in the world and how many Americans? Building a protective wall around yourself and deleting trade who in the right *** mind actually thinks that will be long term sustainable? This is a short term feel good about ourselves stunt. Long term will put them back decades. The name of the game is trade and foreign markets for your goods. Not what this retarted prick is doing.

You can’t say truduea is a dud for ruining trade relations and then say it’s good if trump does it.

The fake news is that the rest of the world is backwards and not striving ahead. I take it that must come from some who haven’t travelled. I haven’t travelled lots but have been to Europe Asia and once to Russia they are not backwards in fact have many advanced technologies transportation is one of many. Who is going to buy these high priced goods it won’t be the average American.

It is odd. As it was the same Republicans that were all for globalization in the first place.
Regan
and the bushes .
American Capitol should be free to go it wants
Wherever it was cheapest to produce.
That was the line .
And it was only the socialist
Lefty's that wanted to keep the tarrifs on.
To protect American workers.
And the tarrifs were eliminated .


So trump is a socialist now.
Bringing back all the tarrifs

And being backed by all the same
People that 25 years ago demanded
Tarrifs be abolished.

That is if nothing else
Pretty funny.

In effect . Most of You are saying the old socialists were
Correct

That’s exactly right. Gone backwards. And some have the nerve to call me a socialist hahahahaha about as smart as dipshit trump.

There have been benefits to unrestricted global trade.
I have every tool imaginable in my shop thanks to China/Korea
Made me more productive.
Maybe not the best but I have them.

Clothes shoes are so cheap , in the scheme of things.
Cheaper chemicals. Etc.

Here I thought all you guys were on the capitalist
Bandwagon.
Let john deer cast your part in China because they get it
For 8$ vs 32$ cast in the states.
They still get to charge you 150$. No matter where they do it.

What are you all going red on us.

If there's utter confusion maybe the monetary system just needs a reset, spike the dollar and let's find out what's actually worth anything.... anyone looked or remember how fast it accelerated in 85 before intervention happened and we got on this path? It's very reminiscent, deflation, coming out of high in commods, rates are different but the protectionism was there. Smash it, let's get moving on, it'll be for the best long term. China hasn't tried QE yet, I'll give them that, it's like they don't think they are God like us westerners do, having said that, they depend on us for food and raw materials, and to consume as the gluttons we are. Kicking the debt habit for consumption wouldn't be the worst thing we ever did. But we can't handle the pain of a crash so we cut rates and print and take on more govt debt to give people stuff so the politicians get re-elected. And the cycle starts over... except it's running out of time before they can't juggle it anymore, and I don't think it matters which country your in, the politicians are not getting smarter. Why are smart people not running for govt? That might be the most important question to ask, it's only the self centered narcissist, which i have no use for so they can leave me the eff alone. When we crash it'll be loss of faith in govt as they wont be able to provide. Which is maybe what everyone is looking for in a trade deal or trade war or sustaining the status quo? It'll all just fall apart.
