The base doesn’t understand what tarrifs are but they 100% know that the orange turd is fighting for them.
This is what happens when education takes a back seat and propaganda, identity politics, war profiteering, and geopolitical coercing takes hold to be the “greatest country of all time”.
And they start to believe everything that matches their bias.
Step 1: Create disaster (put tariffs on your allies)
Step 2: Rabble, rabble, rabble while you dismantle the rest of the government and put people in concentrations camps.
Step 3: Tell everyone you solved the disaster by making it a tiny bit less of a disaster.
Step 4: Celebrate?
I, for one, am ready to watch my fellow countrymen fall all over themselves to find a way to elect him a 3rd time while hating everything about their lives directly because of his policies. Can’t wait!
This. The trade deal is not too bad, but it’s way worse than the pre-Trump state of things.
Yeah there’s no good reason to restrict trade with the eu. They’re the most similar economy to us and we’ve found a reasonable balance. When we compete it’s often beneficial to both economies and where we don’t it’s in deeply intertwined ways. The sophisticated machinery you buy from the Netherlands may use parts from Chicago and be the best tool for making products in either Czechia or Alabama.
Honestly Europe had more cause to tariff us over our lax regulations on labor, environmentalism, and consumer protection resulting in an unfair advantage.
One really frustrating part of all of this is they said we couldn’t raise minimum wage because “it’d increase prices.” Meanwhile, it’s perfectly fine to do this, because prices rising is actually fine now.
They were totally going to raise prices regardless.
Remember when inflation and corporate prices rose?
Using Twitter in 2025 makes both these people fascism apologists
I consider them both clowns. Who the fuck uses twitter anymore?
Clown 1 was correct, but still, arguing on the shit pile is still just standing on the shit pile.
I notice this seems to happen a lot on Shitter doesn’t it?
Yeah but mostly because people will fight over everything on there regardless of if they know anything
I understand where he’s coming from, but I personally disagree about us being worse off. It’s a usage tax. Buy domestic and don’t pay the tariffs. Frankly, there’s never been enough pressure on exporters to keep goods in the country of origin either, so the reciprocal tariffs will hopefully put some pressure there.
I mean without the deal the tariffs would’ve been higher. Sucks
The tariffs only would have been higher because the same idiot that got the deal made the tariffs higher to begin with.
The only sort of lucky part for us Americans is if it’s approved we got the better end of the deal, but ultimately we’re going to be paying higher prices for things we’re likely unable to produce. Although I get the feeling that Italian Marble and French Wines will suddenly be exempt from tariffs.
I mean yeah but if Trump had set the tariffs at higher then that would’ve been worse than the current tariff deal.
Zero tariffs would’ve been best or maintaining the tariffs that were there before. But still 15% is better than 30%.
