So can the tarrif lovers confirm if higher prices for consumers are considered "pain" or not?

Secondly, do the tarrif lovers not believe small businesses have suffered since Liberation day?

I guess someone else can ask the question so the chief magadonian is allowed to respond

Ho Hum - More jobs for Americans as a result of Trump's influence.

All the screaming will be irrelevant when the economy is humming and Americans are employed.

The laptop class has no clue how tough its been for majority of AMericans.

ALl of these moves have significantly weakened China.

Once these supply chains moves they are very hard to move back.

I have my own criticisms of the reporting on these deals, but I find this one rather weak. Middle Eastern countries do not have a monopoly on bad things, and we accept investments from all manner of other countries that perform atrocities against innocent people, and we in fact do business with these very countries already. No need to pretend otherwise just because they’re giving Trump big misleading headlines.

Thethe has a history of declaring radical islam the most dangerous thing in the world. I'm ribbing him for his hypocrisy.

That’s fair and all, but let’s be real here, flexing up and down on whether or not it’s bad to accidentally fund terrorism based on whether or not you support the current President is perhaps the most bipartisan activity in 21st Century America. Thethe is certainly an artist at this, but this is a very glass house-ish road to go down.

The only response I feel is appropriate to this whole thing is to just ignore it because much of the money being thrown around is fake anyway and these kinds of deals are almost always announced then backed off quietly later.
