If tariffs = trade war, it was not President Trump who started it. He’s just firing back.
Thank you!
Here’s my problem with tariffs- they would have been great in the 1800’s when the U.S was a powerhouse, controlling innovation and supply, but we pissed all of our advantages away. China was backwater primitive, worshipping rocks, and now they know how to go to the moon and manipulate genes. Russia can drill for its own oil and everyone has cities that look like the US’s with skyscrapers and smart phones. The world can literally do without us if it has to. We will see what happens. We are just so far in debt, I understand why it’s happening but it’s just a different world. Yes, we’ve been taken advantage of. I just wish we focused on being great, moving out into space and enjoying its infinite resources. We could literally leave the rest of the world behind but with so many illegals, about 75 million third worlders and their families I am just not sure we are a spacefaring people anymore. We just don’t have that stock. We can’t deport 600 people a day and expect to be great again. Having millions of the stock of the ancient failed Aztec empire among others, I just don’t know if we still have that spark. Good luck to us.
WHO IS RUMP?
LoL kidding 🤭
This is just stupid FEAR PORN and anti-Tariff propaganda.
Good idea, we don’t want a rump roast here.
Correct
lol Proofreading is your friend :)
Let’s see how April 2nd goes...
Ramble much?
The odds of BOTH things happening are non-existent, folks.
First segment was about the fire that closed Heathrow last month.
The rest of the program was all about the big, bad ogre - Donald Trump - and his evil tariffs about to be announced today.
Input from financial analysts in the UK; the EU and China.
Words like "we can hit back" "Find other markets"
Not one time did I hear the word "RECIPRICAL" !!
> The world can literally do without us if it has to. <
The US is a net importer. A VERY BIG net importer. In fact it is the biggest net importer in the world. The other countries could face financial collapse without the US buying their goods.
Canada places a 239% tariff on US dairy products. They weren’t buying our dairy products anyway. A 25% tariff on Canadian dairy products will make theirs more expensive for us but we still have enough of our own. Their industry was being propped up by their tariffs. Good luck Canadian dairy farmers.

Thank God for Trump!!!!
We reaffirm our belief in the protective tariff to extend needed protection to our productive industries. We believe in protection as a national policy, with due and equal regard to all sections and to all classes. It is only by adherence to such a policy that the well being of the consumers can be safeguarded that there can be assured to American agriculture, to American labor and to American manufacturers a return to perpetrate American standards of life. A protective tariff is designed to support the high American economic level of life for the average family and to prevent a lowering to the levels of economic life prevailing in other lands.
In the history of the nation the protective tariff system has ever justified itself by restoring confidence, promoting industrial activity and employment, enormously increasing our purchasing power and bringing increased prosperity to all our people.
The tariff protection to our industry works for increased consumption of domestic agricultural products by an employed population instead of one unable to purchase the necessities of life. Without the strict maintenance of the tariff principle our farmers will need always to compete with cheap lands and cheap labor abroad and with lower standards of living.
Think of a certain scene from the first Crocodile Dundee movie, the one where Mick deals with a mugger...
Happy Liberation Day, Deep States!

Check out the decline in NYS dairy farms.
We’ve lost thousands.
Canada’s tariffs share part of the blame along with our Deep State.

If so...
