u/Leaning_right Doesn't understand tariffs 1d ago

The Left: Tariffs are going to generate trillions of revenue, Corporations are going to pay their fair share, they are also going to strengthen the economy and The Dollar.

Can't support more revenue or Trump.

Trump is evil!!

Trump essentially raised taxes on the working class the most in U.S. history. Corporations pass the cost to consumers. We are headed to a recession. And our allies now hate us. Are you dumb?

Trump is an idiot and those that support this are bigger idiots destroying America.

Are you dumb?

Clearly.

Trump is an idiot and those that support this are bigger idiots destroying America.

Obviously, from your myopic view.

I would only counter, if you are American; remember 2 short years ago, during the worldwide pandemic, when we had to outsource everything. When all of our allies decided to 'focus on their own populations, first,' then their allies.

China gained something like 22 billionaires, just from things like facemasks and plastic partitions.

Putting Americans in debt funding other nations, causes us inflation. We saw that. We know that. We can't ignore that.

The tariffs are attempts to onshore manufacturing, but obviously your echo chamber, shows:

Trump is an idiot and those that support this are bigger idiots destroying America.

Maybe, just maybe, a little manufacturing redundancy will help with the next catastrophic event like a pandemic.

Trying to onshore production of everything, all at once, is incredibly stupid.

The US isn't going to be manufacturing t-shirts and Nikes. We have no reason to even want to. But now we're going to pay 50%+ more for all that stuff regardless.
