I wish Trump would knock it the F off with the tariff

How much DOGE waste is in Trump's new tax bill?

Again, Trump doesn't write the bills and not sure DOGE waste could be cut under this bill. Only mandatory spending from what I understand. They will have to create a new bill to codify DOGE cuts but don't know if there are enough decent people in congress that will allow for cutting waste.

capriciousness! The market just recovered from all the nonsense. He pulled with his tariffs on China and other dictates regarding the American economy. Scott Bessent must be pouring himself a double right now because we’re back to telling Apple, a stock whose value is helping many Americans live in retirement right now, they have to manufacture the iPhone in America, which will essentially make it unaffordable.

I’m just pissed because my 401(k) just recovered from the foolishness he pulled over the past couple of months. No one can plan in this environment. That makes it harder for the customers of my company to plan their PNLs, so they buy less from me.

Trump, clearing the air regarding tariffs.

He doesn’t care for the new TACO trading strategy (Trump Always Chickens Out).

Before Trumps tarriff war who were the other countries that established blanket 10% tarriffs on all US products?

Do away with your tariffs and we will do away with ours. Again, sho he said this in front of 500 democrats over a decade ago to thunderous applause. Every democrat leader has cried and whined on the floor of congress about the trade imbalance. You don’t like the way he is doing it fine. Not sure I do either. The jury is still out, but don’t act like this isn’t something both parties have been talking about for nearly 20 years as a huge issue.

But he's already said the minimum tarriffs will go down is 10% so thats False.

Ok. So which is it you want him to do. Keep 145 percent tariff on goods from china or negotiate a better deal. Or at least not that catastrophic one. It is amazing the double standard you hold him to. We are glad he backed off and it was a negotiation tactic. Right? But let’s call him a chicken in the process when no one has had the balls to even try this. I don’t know if this will work out for him in the end, but he could have coasted and fixed the clusterf you voted for and been a hero. He isn’t afraid to go out swinging at least.

You think so huh. So in these negotiations has he not backed down or off. Will just posted something where a reporter called him taco. Trump always chickens out. Are you just naive or being obtuse. You believe him here when you call him a liar every single day you wake up. Hypocrite much? All of these things are some kind of negotiation tactic. Evidence seems pretty clear on that fact so far.

Tariffs alone cannot do what you are suggesting. You have to have the carrot to go with the stick. As in, an actual industrial policy. Which means we need to offer tax incentives to the manufacturing that we deem critical. Which is high-end stuff, not widgets. Which is NOT turning screws into IPhones like Nutlick - I mean Lutnick, says (pun intended). We are only wielding the stick now. It won't work. Low end industrial jobs are not returning here. Ever. We're in the process of showing other countries we're unreliable and untrustworthy with the tariff on/ tariff off BS. And the "you've been ripping us off for years" crap. Nobody is ripping anybody off. We have more money and we therefore buy more shit. 2+2 = 4.

There is more than one way to accomplish the goal. We know for a fact the Obiden method doesn't work. I'm willing to give Trump's plan a fair shot.
