Amazing how many don’t get this very simple thing. I wonder how much more competitive it will make the companies producing cars here. Who are already providing jobs for actual Americans.
Just “move manufacturing to the US”. Simple, right?
Never said it was simple. I know some of these companies are going to have to build factories over here. Going to have to take it on the chin or live with the tariffs for a while. I knew you wouldn’t like this deal. I am so shocked.
“Amazing how some people don’t get this very simple thing”. That’s your quote.
So wait, are MAGA folks now in favor of the government using coercion for dictating pricing decisions to companies competing in the free market? Isn't that what happens in socialist or communist forms of government? I'm sure AOC and Bernie approve.
Good point. I think what you will see is for example a BMW negotiate tariff relief in exchange for doing more manufacturing here (like in Greenville)…..the relief will come once the commitment is made (soon).
more jobs like these over here good. Less jobs over here bad. That should take care of the explanation.
If the pressure is on US companies, I agree. Villifying oil companies, blaming greedy grocery companies for price increases, etc.
Interesting spin brother. Holy smokes. Is this really your take? If aoc approved that is great. She is the leader of the democrat party. So why are you so concerned. She gives you your marching orders. You should be happy with this then.
What you suggest would be extremely unwieldy and difficult to implement.
So you feel all of your pals who suffered so badly from inflation under Biden will have no issue with more cost of living increases for the next few years because it’s all going to work out great later?
I’ve got no problem with a US President thumbing the scales on foreign investment as part of a negotiation. These countries tariff the shit out of US vehicles….a big reason you never see them in Europe.
You want to go race and immigration go for it. You know where I stand on that. If you come over here illegally, you have lost control of what may happen to you. They were in cages under Obama. You didn’t care then. Under Biden they got out into purgatory for a while. The ones who didn’t come streaming across. Where they had to seperate the women and children because they were being raped. I don’t allow my girls to run their favorite spot anymore due to what happened to Laken Riley. My daughter dates a guy here from Puerto Rico and Peru. Great kid. Staying with us this weekend to watch some March madness with me. His parents came over and did it the right way. Went thru the process and are now citizens. You should hear them talk about people here illegally not going thru the proper channels. Worse than anything I would ever say. Same with the folks who own the business next door to me. It isn’t about race. You play a stupid game and you just might win a stupid prize.
I missed the edited paragraph that you added.
I added an unrelated topic, which I should have resisted. I am so angry about it I couldn't help myself. Apologies.
All the companies you listed were already committed to more US manufacturing before Trump took office. The Tariffs may conceivably accelerate that process, but at great cost to the US consumer.
The worst part (for me) is that eliminating NAFTA and putting on huge tariffs are not even conservative, Republican principles. They’re Democrat principles.
My choice has never been between Trump or the democrats. But rather Trump vs the more moderate, business-minded GOP. There are no shortage of good candidates.
I wanted two new candidates a while back. I am much more moderate. But I find myself leaning more right because the left has lost their damn minds. You can see it in the moderate democrats too leaving the party. Even Trump. Life long Democrat. Rfk. Tulsi. Elon etc. he doesn’t govern from the far right. Never has. But I agree there are no shortage of good candidates, but I truly believe people gravitate to Trump because he will say what other candidates won’t. You can view that as good or bad. There are no shortages right now of Trump hating conservatives or moderates who are too embarrassed to admit being democrats. It is all that argues on this board. No one wants to admit they are a democrat anymore. What does that tell you?
Like I said. Had we not lost our minds at the border this wouldn’t be happening. There are always people caught in the crossfire. I have learned when the left posts fear porn on Twitter I like to let the dust settle. That actually goes for anyone posting there. I will wait and see if any of that turns out to be true or if there isn’t another side to the story. There almost always is a reason. I don’t know what the batting average is these days for the left fear porn being right. But it is really low.
The cost of no enforcement whatsoever (Laken Riley, etc) far exceeds the cost of REVERSIBLE collateral damage in the enforcement of border policy and the corrective actions necessary due to prior failed policy. And the very public way we are doing this has a deterrent advantage that far exceeds actual border crossings and deportations.
Get it - sometimes I think he is crazy like a fox and other times just crazy. Then I remind myself what the results were in his last term - economically etc.
You libs think this should happen over night you know it is going to take a few years to get the manufacturing going. We will go through a tough time during the short term but we will be better off long term.
There’s always an excuse for the deterioration of rights.
Until the next Prez comes along. No guarantee he/she will adopt the same policies (tariffs)…..and as someone pointed out earlier, it takes time for the process to work.
Yeah you people wanted to keep these criminals in the country to murder and rape the citizens of this nation. Everything is great when it is not effecting you. If you are for keeping these so called brown people here that makes you a traitor to our country because they all came here illegally and all are criminals.
Everyone on the planet knows this is a tactic, and even if they are implemented it'll be for a short period of time because other countries will capitulate. My Q for you is why are you not willing to fight and pay for a short while to make things better in the long run when you were perfectly willing to pay through the nose when Biden, Obama and their globalist sycophants were wasting billions on BS?
The "suffer now, it will be better later" argument is probably the most ridiculous thing I have seen in politics since the Democrats had the audacity to cause a government spending increase the "inflation reduction act." Complete idiocy reigns on both sides of the political spectrum.
Some additional "suffer now" incoming from this "conservative" administration.
There’s no agenda here other than getting rid of violent illegal aliens that hurt or kill Americans. Not everything needs to be viewed in a political lens. Sometimes Trump is right.
