How does Trump pick and choose? This is slightly more complex than the blowhard class can get their punkin’ heads around. Trump knows who’s buying/selling what. And he knows whether they’re screwing us (US) or not. “Tariffs” is just one of the things he throws out there to get a national dirtbags attention. Could be shipping. Could be fuel. Might be VISAS. Banning products for sale here is one. Volume, quality control, ingredients, etc. are all in the mix.

And even when he talks tariffs he doesn’t necessarily mean them to be permanent-—only until he gets fairness from the perpetrator. One has to listen closely ‘cause he’s not one-dimensional. I always remember the pics of his work room at the top of NY Trump tower: That plan review table is ten yards long. The guy can absorb detail.

re: Tariffs

I was watching a video on a non-political subject from someone I’d never watched a video from before. Turns out the person making the vid was a libtard. She was freaking out over PDJT being president again.

I went ahead and listened to some of it, just to see what all she was freaking out over. One thing was tariffs. She said that spices such as cinnamon, paprika, vanilla, etc., because they can’t be grown in the US and have to be imported, will become extremely expensive due to tariffs.

I don’t know much of anything about how tariffs work, but my understanding is that PDJT won’t put high tariffs on imports across the board. He will only put high tariffs on things that *can* be produced in the US to discourage consumers buying foreign products and to encourage companies to start making/producing them in the US. (My simplified version, I’m sure. :D ) And the stuff we can’t make/produce will be handled as usual.

Is this correct? Or am I off the mark? Thanks!
