I find it hilarious when any Trump supporting MAGA complains about a minor insult or a little incivility.
Are Trump's beautiful tariffs

It seems that tariffs against imported cars will affect not only many of the most affordable cars but 14 of the 20 "most American" cars available. How does that make sense?
The price of every new car assembled in America will increase. Every one contains foreign made parts.
I'm pissed they moved it. I said it was 50/50 for me, depending on the weather. But what the hell - I'm coming up to spend Easter with my mom and sisters, so might as well go to Bloomington.
I'm a football geek - an IU football geek - so I like to check out individual players and see how they play and who plays. I don't give a rip about the actual game. It's just a glorified practice anyway.
Mallory used to have free food at those - always a good thing.

Gee, maybe some of the car dealers will have to cut their 'Dealers Fee' of $700+ they've charged on the last 2 cars I've bought.
I think many of you think a 25% tariff is going to mean prices to up 25% and I don't think that's going to be the case.
Maybe, maybe not on the percentage of income. Also, inflation will be lower and wages should rise faster for lower income workers as some jobs return to the U.S., and there aren’t millions of low income workers crossing the border to compete against. It's a brave new world.

Also, @BradStevens you should be loving these big beautiful tariffs. This is a socialists wet dream.
Capitalize to what end? It sounds like you’re recommending subsidies, so less tax revenue. So……. Climate goblin?
Half of consumer spending comes from the top 10% of income earners. They can absorb an increase in the cost of goods.
My youngest son really wants the price of eggs to go down. He is on a high protein diet because he works out with weights and eats four to Six eggs a day.
Can you find local farm eggs?
He only should need .8-1.2 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass for growth.
Ergo. Government ought to decide what is an emerging market. Your logic is impressively circular.
I want them to revalue gold and dump it on BRICS (Also get the added benefits of pissing of Mas, Peter Schiff, and the annoying gold bugs). Take the proceeds and buy 4 million Bitcoin and have the world pump our bags as we move to a neutral reserve asset system. As for Trump and Bessent, yes, I think they want the dollar to devalue some.

She's an idiot too, like Trump. Pelosi is your defense? Your grand leader will make you sink to any level.
Bernie, Pelosi, Warren, etc were all pro tariff until Trump implemented them of course. And say what you want about Trump but he's been very consistent and doesn't flip flop. Dems have no core principles whatsoever. Just whichever way they think the wind is blowing.
Taxes on Social Security go to Social Security. Social Security tax is paid on tips. Remove those, what happens to Social Security? How will that benefit poorer Social Security recipients?
I mean what % of tips are ever reported anyway? When I worked in a restaurant in college there was some bare minimum that we had to report. Like $5/hr or something. But we were making more like $25 (and way up on busy nights). Of course a lot if it was cash back then. Probably not so much today.
A good quote CO. I thought tariffs would be smaller and end up being more of a wink wink to the working class voters. To Trump's credit, he said f#ck it and went for it. Now, he does need to walk them back some or deliver on major tax break, because they are going to slow growth and eventually cause a recession if he doesn't. And Democrats will take back congress, cut them, and enjoy the growth that comes from it.
A) what does that have to do with reducing Social Security revenue.
B) illegals are ineligible for Social Security but DO pay into it. That is actually profit to the system. Not that that is a reason to allow people in illegally.
And I'm gonna guess these tariffs are pretty popular in places like MI and PA. Dems might want to keep that in mind. Come 2032 it will be very difficult for any Dem to win the WH even if they hold the Rust Belt.
When they update the Electoral College in 2030 it will favor the GOP. If my memory is correct they're predicting a +9 swing in traditional GOP states.
Maybe Congress will reign this tariff abuse in:
Bipartisan bill would limit Trump on tariffs
As world markets slumped in reaction to President Trump’s tariffs, Democratic and Republican senators' bill would require Congress to approve new tariffs.

Correct. You won't need WI, MI, or PA anymore. Shouldn't need them now but they completely botched the 2020 census. Funny how these errors always go one direction.
