What have I dismissed. That costs have increased at a modest rate in comparison to tariffs issued?

You've dismissed:

Higher unemployment (federal workers)

Historic inflation (stabalized)

Record corporate layoffs (uhh... foreigners?)

Higher Christmas spend on less total foods (electronics?)

Trump removing tariffs to reduce costs (he self corrects!)

Private businesses reducing hiring (dont know the reason here)

Manufacturing jobs declining (Bidens fault)
 
We’ve been dominating and thriving with those tens of millions of illegals that you guys are convinced are a massive burden.

Is MAGA saying we’d be even more dominant and thriving even harder without all of them?

Is MAGA admitting that yes, actually, we can isolate and evaluate issues on their own merits?

You are arguing in favor of tariffs are you not?

Yes, but you need to be clearer.

The point I was making is that the economy is not in a state of imploding as was predicted.

Do you think the trillions of dollars that Trump has gotten from foreign investments in the States isn't going to have a positive impact?

I believe they got $18 trillion per the latest announcement

It's impossible to dominate the world economically if tariffs are such a burden.

Our period of peak dominance was after World War II for a couple decades. The reason is pretty simple. Most of the leading countries were pulverized by WWII. And some of them had not fully recovered from WWI.

Let me be clearer.

Im asking you what evidence do you have that tariffs are making the economy stronger and you have yet to provide any

Unemployment is federal workers fired and increased labor force participation. Both good things.

Historic inflation as you are putting can literally be said for every president. Trump thankfully got the really high inflation rates under control.

Corporate layoffs are AI driven and you know that.

Manufacturing base is building but it takes time and you know that.

Right now? Not much.

In the future with the investments in America? Quite a bit.

Like I said I'll gladly compare America's economy pre-globalization vs now anytime.

How have we possibly won 95 games with this burden? I find it hard to believe. Hell of a bad pitcher we’ve been carrying, no?
