The Trump reciprocal trade act is like hitting a Draw Two with a Draw Four.

The tariffs will need to be strategically levied mainly to protect vital industries (auto, steel, agriculture, electronics) to promote investment in US manufacturing along with corporate tax breaks to those who do. It will always be a slippery slope as corporations will need to be monitored to ensure they are actually using the tax breaks for growth rather than PURELY profit. Anyone who argues that corporations will simply profit off tax breaks really doesn't understand how business operates. Business exists to turn a profit, the key is to ensure that the some of that profit (the more profit the more should be shared as a constant percentage) through job creation (economic growth) and/or increased wages of workers. Some companies will certainly try and exploit the tax break and should appropriately be punished (not debilitating but stiff enough to promote compliance). If the US continues to outsource labor to other countries we will be further dependent on them for products. This dependence can be further leveraged during times of crisis, whereas if those businesses are more centrally based here in the U.S. the government could subsidize them in times of crisis to supplement supply chains and limit inflationary impact. I have more faith in Trump economy than Biden/Harris.

Harris supporters will go down (like she did on Willie Brown) in history as the dumbest fucks ever, who were in the MINORITY, on election day 2024!

The OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of voters saw through all the bullshit and had enough.
Trying to do the right thing and failing, is not dumb

Don't worry, history will remember you as garbage.

You don't even understand what overwhelming majority means. Trump got 50.9% of the vote. That is BARELY a majority.

Thanks for proving how fucking dumb you are.

No, Trumps policy is like saying "do what I say, or I'm going to shit in my mouth".. hmm Ok

He isn't a 4d chess master. He's someone who upsets people to try to manipulate them. Which when they are your employee, or someone desperate for money that they try to suck at your teat then it might work. Foreign countries will just shrug.

Four years of this will kill off American manufacturing, but Trump seems to mostly be looking to boost China's manufacturing anyway.

His only skill is at conning people into lending him money and then stealing it.

On game-related news, the US may see a 40% increase in pricing of game consoles due to tariffs.
Higher prices, but your food will give you cancer. What is not to like.

Trump needs to drive inflation higher and higher, to erode his debts. We're likely to now see defaults rise to levels not seen since 2008.

If it wasn't going to ruin so many lives, I'd grab the popcorn. You better hope that Trump has been lying about the things he said he would do and instead he doesn't do anything.

I'm totally fine with this outcome:

No WW3

Cheaper groceries

Higher quality healthy food potentially more available to us and our kids via RFK

Cheaper real estate now that we won't have uncontrolled population influxes.

Genuinely, what are people so scared about?

The first problem is you think you were trying to do the right thing. HAHAHAHA!!!! Voting for a person who was extremely disliked and dropped out of the 2020 race because NOBODY LIKED HER!

She puts on fake accents to convince mouth breathers like you that she's "on your side".

Who can forget these wonderful, inspirational quotes from Kamala Harris:

"The governor and I, we were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time, right, the significance of the passage of time. So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires. What we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children."

"We will work together, and continue to work together, to address these issues…and to work together as we continue to work, operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements, that we will convene to work together...we will work on this together."

“We got to take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are because you have been forced to have taken this seriously.”

“It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day.”

"What can be, unburdened by what has been"

The DNC didn't let anyone vote on a candidate at their convention, which pissed a lot of your fellow liberals off because most of them knew she couldn't win against Trump.

She only accepted ONE debate with Trump (because her handlers knew she was retarded and would look just as dumb as Biden)

Going on disgusting pod casts (Call her Daddy..... REALLY?) and spending most of her campaign hiding from real reporters in her bunker, getting drunk and cackling all day/night.

So yes, putting your support behind Kamala (and thinking the MAJORITY of Americans would support her) wasn't doing the right thing. It was voting for Communism and for the destruction of our country. Unless you think open borders is a good idea?

Speaking of, are you OK with illegal invaders being released into the USA, given a free bus or plane ride anywhere they want, free monthly cash/EBT/SNAP assistance, free housing, free medical and free education for their kids?

Do -YOU- get any of that 5 star treatment?

Don't worry, history will remember you as garbage.

Deplorables, garbage, Nazis, etc., etc., etc. Your name calling has zero impact because you've said it all a million times. blah blah blah

You don't even understand what overwhelming majority means. Trump got 50.9% of the vote. That is BARELY a majority.

I understand this:

Sure looks like a MAJORITY to me..... even the morons on CNN and MS DNC acknowledged that fact. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

......a beautiful sea of RED DOMINATION!

Thanks for proving how fucking dumb you are.

Thanks for proving how fucking bitter you are.

Why you mad bruh?

Don't worry loser, maybe Big Mike can save you in 2028? :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

These continued replies have cognitive issues energy, just saying. ✌️

That's why they must continue. It gives you a chance to let it all out and cry with your fellow liberals about the stomping you all got. :) :) :)

that’s all well and good as a map of colors but if you really are lost with this thought process, you’ll notice all of the blue spots are more densely populated. Consider, I don’t know, Montana. The population of LA alone is 3x larger than the population of the state of Montana as a whole. It’s the entire basis on why the electoral college exists, btw. Rural areas are sparsely populated when compared to major metro areas, and are more spread out, hence why visually it always looks like there’s more red compared to blue. All of this is meaningless anyways because there is never a turnout of 100% of voters, and not everyone votes ballot down based on party (Case in point - my state of NC governor election vs the vote for Harris v Trump).

I'm curious if any of the resident leftists here are the least bit upset by the corporate media lying and gaslighting us into thinking this was a close race? And can you explain how the gold standard of polling had a D+3 for Iowa that ended up being a R+13?

A actual leftist here, and not a liberal (not that you believe there’s a difference) but: Can I ask this: is there anyone honestly who really did take the Iowa poll with anything more than a grain of salt? Because I feel like I am being gaslit by people who saying people were truly thinking Iowa would flip? I feel like I saw more hypotheticals floating around than I did people taking it seriously.

This is yet again a reminder that polls mean jack shit, and don’t know why people put so much weight into them. I think the purpose of polls are truly losing their meaning to people. And, for the record, I would consider the ”blue wall” or whatever they call MN WI PA MI indeed all very close, particularly Michigan.

This entire thread was based on the polls. It was in the name for weeks. And they were all saying that Kamala was going to sweep the swing states. Many people were spouting them as gospel, especially when they all showed Trump losing. Judging from reactions on social media, millions of people were shocked by the outcomes of the election.

Just because neither you or I trust the polls, many people do. I'm curious though. Since the polls were paid for and published by the corporate media, has that shaken leftists' trust in the media at all?

Land doesn't vote. But I'm sure you're happy that Republicans are going to get Project 2025 going.
