I’ve seen a good bit of this sentiment online already. If the prices of American made products weren’t already more expensive, I find it naive to trust the producers won’t look to at least pad their margins a little bit if all their competitors are impacted.

I want to thank the president for cutting my taxes on imports from Mexico.

A pretty well-explained breakdown of tariffs that isn’t quite as sensational and vague as many I’ve seen.

Trump didn't even need 2 weeks to start destroying the Biden economy.

Lol

lol - marginal as if the concessions are over.

Let’s hope the concessions aren’t over, since we’re foregoing the certainty of untold wealth, right?

Tariffs are a great weapon to get what you want or a method to enrich your local population.

Trump isn't perfect but he's a 1000 times better than that POS candidate you guys had.

I'm pretty thrilled overall with Trump so far but this one was an L. It's OK. Nobody is perfect

Who’s “you guys?”

WTF do you think I'm talking about? Martians? lol

The "libertarian" candidate you guys ran.

How can you determine that it's an L when they've barely began negotiating?

I thought you were putting me on team blue

Dude, I know you're a libertarian. You've stated that a million times.

I support Trump. I've stated that a million times as well.

What are you hoping for here?

 

[acesfull86]

Dude, I know you're a libertarian. You've stated that a million times.

Because your statement reads like you think the “POS candidate you guys had” actually had a chance to win this election. Assuming Kamala there makes more sense than the L candidate …

Do you think we should tariff Canada?
