“American consumers pay the tariffs in the end.”

Then why does China resist tariffs on their goods and want to place tariffs on incoming goods from the United States?

Why aren’t all the nations jumping up and down to stop all tariffs so they too can have a trade deficit?

Yeah, I’m with you: Desantis’ friends absolutely suck and have me questioning everything about the guy. . I think what I like most about Trump is that he has my kind of enemies.

Yes, there seems to be a lot of BS being spouted on FR and elsewhere, Trump supporters are clearly running scared. Too bad they don't focus their attention on Biden or defending Trump for his indictments, porn stars, poor hiring choices, bad mouthing and disloyaty, and mostly fleeting successes via EOs instead of hard work of legislation. Easier to trash others, divert attention, instead of defending the indefensible.

Everyone is dumber after reading that.....

Clueless....

That poster didn't attack you.

Exactly like what the typical leftist does.

From http://wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu/politics-issues/2023-05-09/desantis-approves-bills-targeting-chinese-influence-florida

“Gov. Ron DeSantis signed three bills intended to curb the influence of the Chinese government in Florida.

The measures will restrict land ownership in Florida by Chinese citizens, ban the use of Chinese-owned social media platforms such as TikTok and WeChat on government devices and further limit colleges and universities from building relationships with foreign “countries of concern” such as China.”

There’s more than just tariffs that need to be addressed. From what I’ve read, he doesn’t think tariffs are always the solution since it affects our manufacturers and the related businesses throughout their network. If our steel industry can handle all of our needs, then a tariff is fine. If not, the imported steel prices will soar and everything we can’t produce will increase.

I apologized to him. That message was aimed right at you, and several others. I'm not a victim, my goal is to crush the left.not insult peoples wives. Destroying the left here is the most important thing

At least GHW Bush had his CIA and deep elite family connections behind him as he continued his insider policies. What is DeSantis’ excuse?

As an average Joe running for president, DeSantis needs money, lots of it. More than he has personally. That is why he will make promises to big donors.

Part of the reason they are going after President Trump is to make sure any other wealthy billionaire thinks twice about running. The other billionaires who buy their access can't have someone they can't control in office.

They like DeSantis because he needs money and will have to play ball to get it.

Reduced sales/exports.

1) Trump supported Bud Light when DeSantis stood with us 2) Trump supported Disney when DeSantis stood with us 3) Trump kept quiet on the Debt Fiasco when DeSantis stood with us

You are a flat out liar. That makes you a POS in my book.

The Bushes were for tariffs, so was Obama.

That is an outright lie.
