I don’t find it difficult to understand the tariff strategy. What is wrong with leftists?
Tariffs are a tool.
Results depend on the skill and the motivation of the person wielding the tool.
Trump uses the tool benefit the US.
Deep State uses it to harm the US.
“understand the tariff strategy.”
It’s logical... and it works ...
the left can’t understand those concepts.
Trump has been a step ahead on every play.
I wondered about a few calls ... but had faith .. and sure enough .... BOOM .
by the way ..... I voted for this .... you can thank me later..(kidding)
“What’s wrong with leftists?”
What isn’t?
That aside, tariffs are to prevent poaching of markets by making the imported product high enough in cost to justify starting or expanding production domestically. It would be an ideal situation if each country were sufficiently self-supporting to provide all basic needs with no imports, as food, fiber, medicine, machine tools and energy sources, with only luxury goods, or personal preferences (a sort of snob appeal) in foreign goods really affected by tariffs.
But this is not an ideal world. Some products cannot be produced domestically, and by definition, have to be imported if they are important to the economy. This makes the importing country a vassal state to the exporting country, suffering every whim of the master state.
Side note - almost every product out there has a substitute for a specific purpose, and these substitutes can be engineered or adapted from existing purposes.
Leftists are against everything from Trump, and good for America.
