So much winning.

I wonder how many things on your pantry shelves are completely of American origin. Less than you think. My rum is Bacardi. My vodka is Stoli. Most everything on the spice rack is imported. Cumin? Tumeric? Paprika? Pay the F up! Merika!.

But the biggie is electronics.

Are ready to pay 30% more your next computer? your next phone?

The USA also imports 94% of its fresh fish, 55% of fresh fruit, and 32% of fresh vegetables.

Uh-oh.

I remember the deep concern about the cost of crab legs.

A significant majority of crab legs consumed in the United States are imported. Specifically, estimates suggest that over 80% of crab meat is imported, particularly snow crab, 89% of which comes from Canada

There’s going to be pain. Musk told us. If we want to be more independent etc we will have to transition. Maybe it’ll be offset by lower taxes other changes. Maybe it’ll be a bust. Who knows. Unlike the Biden/Harris dumb and dumber we actually have incredibly bright people with new ideas coming to gov. This is exciting stuff. We should want our best and brightest called to gov. My god not Harris and walz.

Sorry we can’t carry on trying to get the pronouns of trannies correct. Smart people are now in charge
 
It literally isn’t in the news. None of it. Not even on Fox. Not on Drudge. I’ve searched and found nothing. It sure would be newsworthy stuff. There was something about Qatar possibly expelling Hamas Officials - from months ago, and it still hasn’t happened. At this point it looks dbm is posting lies - again.

Trump isn’t a superhero with magic powers and he’s not yet President.

 
Literally none of that is in any news feed. Also know that it is illegal for Trump to negotiate in foreign policy until he’s President. It’s likely you’ve been duped yet again.
Where does anything on those lists say he is negotiating anything so why bring it up. Seems like a lot of the leaders of other countries want to meet with him now. Probably little more than just to congratulate him. So what.

Lots of European markets have been down due to concerns about the Trump tariffs.

German cars, French wine, German beer... Americans will have to pay more to get them. Ready to pay in essence a huge sales tax?

They are also very skittish about incoming Trump-Putin administration and what it means for Ukraine and for NATO.
Don't have to pay a sales tax if you don't buy.

If my German beer is brewed in US will the same rules apply? What if my Toyota pickup is made in Princeton, Indiana?

The parts that are foreign and used for local assembly will be bought, with the local maker paying tariffs, and then surely passing the cost on to you.

Every car, even Fords and Chevys, have many foreign-made parts. Tariffs will make their prices go up.

Hell, even most things made wholly in America use some foreign-acquired ingredients, if just for packaging. Most plastics are imported, for example.

That wasn't the issue although a couple of the things listed would have required negotiation by someone (wasn't Trump). It was the hyperbole of all the things supposedly magically done within 48 hours of when Trump. None of it was supported by anything other than the hyperbole. That's all.

So you are saying that this is another tool, placed in the hands of US companies to negotiate down the original price of each product, offsetting the tariff, right? Thank you for pointing out how Trump is already creating ways to negotiate FOR the USA instead of against. You are a a true American Shooter.

They have no clue, and you and Aloha are just wasting your time. You can't guide the misguided, you can't re-raise fail children, you can't fix stupid, you can't make weirdos act normal.

When they deny professional expertise, when lies are seen as fact .. what exactly are you going to accomplish by arguing with them... They'll see the darkness and chaos they caused soon enough. The smartest and more stable of them will soon be on our side, but you can't fix the dumb ones, and especially can't fix the weirdos. They'll just bend over and take it ... with a big smile saying trump trump trump.

fwiw - does anyone actually believe Trump will serve out the first year? I don't. He's too far gone and was used as a perfect idiot for others to gain power....

Do you own anything or have any money you want to bet on this? (Excluding assassination)

He is our President soon as he’s sworn in. If Harris had won she’d be our President after she was sworn in. This is how it works, wimpass. Don’t post to me unless you can control yourself, little bitch. You be an ass to me, I’ll be an ass to you. Posters like you are 99 percent certain to be cowards off the internet. Fess up, you’re a coward, aren’t you?
I used to tell my sons, "boys love one another."

He’s also already cured most cancers, built a 3000 mile cross country high speed railroad, and wrote the next 3 Billie Eilish hits…. All since Tuesday
 
Stop digging. You were wrong on everything. You’re old and have been brainwashed by MSM. I’m sorry they have taken advantage of you, but you need to reevaluate where you’re getting your information from and either get new sources or start learning from dbm, Murt, and myself.
That’s one of the most hilarious posts I’ve ever read here! LOL!
 
Trump has sent a Teams meeting invite, to Merrick Garland.
Location: Steps of the Inauguration stage

I work at Toyota in Princeton and we have parts suppliers throughout the Midwest and south. In fact, Helene caused a production stoppage because we couldn’t get parts from Tennessee and the Carolinas. We were off work for two days because of the disruption to our suppliers.

We also build right hand drive Highlanders for export.

I’m not sure how much we import versus what we export but it can’t be that much of a difference.

Are you guys doing the Lexus TX as well? I know you’re doing the Grand Highlander that it’s based on…

The paperwork for a new car has the percentage of parts manufactured in the US on it.
