coming from the master of all masters of unreasonableness I'll take it. You can't deal with truth. Only dim propaganda and lies. So no, there is no way for you to have a reasonable of logical exchange with anyone. The whole dim party is one illogical dim thinking unreasonable corrupt mess. You live there. Nothing you bring to the table is ever from a logical or reasonable view point. russia rusia russia nazi nazi nazi. Those are most of the words you have used over the last 8 yrs. Your side was/is so BAD, trump won the electoral and popular vote. If you can't relax and actually talk about things that are truthful and not russia russia russia nazi nazi nazi dim propaganda, just don't talk.
UM?

oh yes biden closed the border....LMBO If brandon got 10k Mx troops to the border it was for the sole purpose of helping escort milliongs of illegals across the border. Every, clear thinking person knows biden and borders are an oxymoron. \
will, how can you say such things. I know you were indoctrinated at a fine university, but surely life has taught you a few lessons, like to not spew dim propaganda all the time.
All the sudden after 4 yrs of economic shi+, Dems are suddenly worried about 401 K’s …LMAO
Does not even compare to some of the drops of peoples 401K’s during periods of the God awful Biden admin..more hypocritical statements..LOL…but desperation reigns with Democrats right now..grasping for straws..it’s all they have…lol
S&P 500 increased 55% over Biden’s term as President. Doubt many 401k’s dropped. But carry on.
20.1% inflation increase under Joe makes that pretty meaningless
You must not be aware of the concept of dollar cost averaging. With any dip, I can go and buy at lower prices. Did so, and now with the rebound, my portfolio is worth more than before the dip.
Ok, but what does that mean? MX already had more than 10k troops on the border and everything Canada committed to, other than naming a fentanyl czar, had already been announced and funded back in December.
So the two big developments were Trump promising to reduce the flow of guns from the US to MX and Canada promising to create a new position called Fentanyl Czar. Is that really worth creating utter chaos in the markets and global supply chains while trashing our reputation as a rational and stable partner? If he had actually gotten meaningful concessions, perhaps, but he didn’t.
Mexico and Canada weren't doing shit. And now, they'll be under the microscope to make sure they comply. Their economies can't afford the impact of tariffs....ours can.
Guess you haven't noticed Panama and El Salvador.
Look.....things are moving in a rapidly positive direction under PDJT. Your team lost(but America is winning)....the status quo is no longer acceptable. Your team was eaten up with waste and corruption, and your leaders are running scared.
It's great to have adults back in charge.

Nothing says "adults back in charge" quite like repeatedly suggesting that a primary policy goal regarding one of your longest and most reliable allies is to force them to become the 51st state.
I get Trump wants to represent this as a win and you and MSM want to make him look like a bafoon. Think the rational question is were they actually complying ? Was this needed to give them a kick in the ass to actually implement the policies ? You nor I know the answer.
Former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers told CNN that White House claims that Canada was inciting the trade war with the US were “absurd.”
“Canada is our friend, Canada is not an important source of illegal immigrants, Canada is not an important source of illegal drugs,” said Summers, who served former Democratic President Bill Clinton. “Canada is an important market for American products, Canada is a crucial co-producer with American automobile companies that enable North America to compete with Asia and Europe,” he said.
I think some fact checking is in order. The tariffs were never fully implemented. So that is why. The bottom line is Trump is using the tariffs to negotiate, a big stick approach. But if fully implemented would result in significant increases in the cost of goods. Technically not inflation as it would not be a recurring increase.
Tariffs change behavior. Don’t necessarily increase prices. They only increase prices if the seller decides to try and pass it on to the consumer, and if the customer decides to buy it. For goods that have alternatives from the US and other countries, not so easy to expect the consumer to eat the higher cost.
