I think you speak for many of us.

My butt hurt about the tariff issue that that America has been a big fat sucker due to the unfair balance (imbalance) of tariffs. And then the countries’ leaders whine. The ungrateful SOBs have the NERVE to complain when PDJT cuts the difference in HALF. He should have made the percentages even-Steven.

Who the hell do they think they are, expecting us to bolster their economies when we’re so severely in debt?

Well said, MayflowerMadam.

The threat of tariffs is already working for us!  Look at all the car companies expanding in the U.S. and moving out of Mexico, etc.

Vietnam and other countries are coming to the bargaining table.  China tried to destroy Trump and the USA with its Covid virus and fentanyl.  Now they trapped and will need to eat crow.

And look at all the countries who own big chunks of America's massive debt.  If America goes bankrupt, we might have a war on our hands.  Keep DOGE going big time!  A streamlined and fraud-controlled USA is gonna be strong, resilient, and will attract even more funding for our bonds.

Think of the tariffs as the equivalent of each breadwinner in a family negotiating with his or her employer.  Getting the best deal is the way the world works!

Suddenly the next generation of school graduates can look forward to exciting employment opportunities to grow their household and live the American dream.

We are living in exciting times for America and our free republic: it's now working for We the People!

Their economies need us more than we need them.

Their exports are huge percentages of their GDP. Our imports are about 20% of our consumption.
