Dammit! That's where I get my fox and mink pelts from

i dont know what that means but i think improving standard of living is a good thing.Ya'll have turned into Mitt Romney
cheaper goods help everybody. if we were having some massive shortage of jobs and were desperate to increase domestic manufacturing, you could make more of an argument. but we had virtually no unemployment with real wages being as high as they'd ever been... so theres no need to shock the economy like this at all.
if you wanted to do more to help the working class, making their dollar go farther is the way to do it. not this.
You turned into derp.Ya'll have turned into Mitt Romney
The same people losing their minds over Trump's tariffs were cheering for inflationary stimulus and catastrophic levels of national debt. They supported global lockdowns during Covid. They also couldn't care less about you.
Measuring the health of the US solely by current markets has always been a fallacy. In large part because those markets are dominated by large global companies (The Magnificent 7) who derive much of their revenue and profits abroad.
The markets have been massively overvalued with roughly $15-20 Trillion of fiscal stimulus pumped into them over the last four years. There was a correction already waiting.
Financial markets are an indicator but they provide little or no measure of the financial health for average Americans who are struggling to meet their monthly needs. A two tier economy of asset holders and those who are increasingly left behind.
We transferred Trillions in wealth to China and traded our entire blue collar class for "You want fries with that". Absolutely insane. We [intentionally] lost all sight of comparative advantage and threw away our inherent leverage as the country of destination.
We have to do something. We're already facing immense problems. Nearly $37 Trillion in debt coupled with terminal, perpetual trade deficits that only get worse over time.
We're facing short-term pain with a longer-term payoff. Recapturing our internal infrastructure is hard but we have to do something—particularly after being led down the path of globalist failure for decades.
All they've ever done was talk a big talk while selling our country out over the decades. Pelosi! Hope her and the others who sold us out are held accountable one of these days. Insider trading should fast track her and her gay husband straight to prison.
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/03/b...nts/index.htmlTariff-related layoffs hit five US auto plants that supply factories in Canada and Mexico
Stellantis has “paused production” at some of its Canadian and Mexican auto assembly plants due to the newly announced tariffs — and as a result, some US workers will also be temporarily laid off.
Among those to be laid off are 900 US hourly employees who make powertrains and stampings that supply the affected Canadian and Mexican plants, Stellantis said Thursday. The temporary layoffs are due to reduced production prompted by the tariffs.
The affected US employees work at five different Midwest plants: the Warren Stamping and Sterling Stamping plants in Michigan, as well as the Indiana Transmission Plant, Kokomo Transmission Plant and Kokomo Casting Plant, all in Kokomo, Indiana.
Most of these workers at the five US plants will not immediately lose pay due to the terms of their union contract. But there would be a risk of lost pay, even with union protections, if the shutdowns at the Mexican and Canadian plants become prolonged.
Stellantis’s assembly plant in Windsor, Ontario — which produces the Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager as well as the Dodge Charger Daytona — will be closed for two weeks starting Monday. That plant employs 4,500 hourly workers.
Also starting Monday, Stellantis’s assembly plant in Toluca, Mexico, which makes the Jeep Compass and electric Wagoneer S, will be closed for the rest of April. The Toluca plant has 2,400 hourly workers.
In a memo to Stellantis’ North American employees, Stellantis’ chief operating officer for the Americas Antonio Filosa said the company is “continuing to assess the medium- and long-term effects of these tariffs on our operations, but also have decided to take some immediate actions.”

If US won't lead, Canada will: Carney
To the north, Canada's prime minister says the US' latest trade actions will "rupture" the global economy.
"The global economy is fundamentally different today than it was yesterday," said prime minister Mark Carney on Thursday while announcing retaliatory tariffs on auto imports from the US.
Canada is matching the US with 25pc tariffs on all vehicles imported from the US that are not compliant with the USMCA, referred to as CUSMA in Canada. But unlike the US tariffs, which took effect Thursday, Canada's will not include auto parts.

We were nearly at full employment when Trump took office.
Trump has not and will not reduce the debt.
Trump has and will explode the deficit.
That was before the ollyagawky paid her off
What is the goal of these tariffs?
Canada! They can go themselves too and take back all their loony re hollyweird celebs with them!
All your doing here is regurgitating other's tweets. You have no clue about half the you're retweetingspurraider21 coming back into the thread with no comment on this
Hitting China hard with tariffs would have absolutely been the right thing to do in the 90s to kill their manufacturing sector before it ever got off the ground and thus preserve ours. Now it's closing the barn door when the horse ran out and is three towns over.
LOL Republicans ever ing about the debt when they're the ones who shoot it to the moon every single time they take the white house via tax cuts for oligarchs
nothing can be done
You right wingers built China into what it is and now think you get a mulligannothing can be done
Along with Democrats, the right Republicans are squawking
Trump is on target
Clinton kicked that door wide open, and you know it
He's the right wing who dragged the Democrats from being a labor party into neoliberalism and was continuing Bush's and Reagan's work.
Well now you got Trump the pre-Clinton Democrat
Rejoice!
Anyone believe zombie McConnell actually typed up that tweet and wgaf about what boy Pence has to say?
And yes, it was indeed Clinton who sold us out but they all have tbh. I can't remember a president keeping to campaign promises in my life time outside of this 2nd Trump admin.
It's the worst of both worlds doing this after China has a strangle hold on manufacturing. No American jobs back but we get to pay higher prices.
