The offical Trump Tariff thread

Tariffs will remain unchanged -- they'll just come from different channels. Low inflation PROVES that foreign companies were paying the tariffs -- makes perfect sense if they want to hold market share against domestic competitors. Most of you do not understand business well enough to comprehend this. But we have (low) inflation data that backs this up.

Jestergooning libs get played again!



GOOD DAY

 

Traitor George remains willfully ignorant.

 

Not a Newsom fan, but his social media team is top notch.

 

I only read a quick blurb about Kavanaugh's dissent, but it amounted to, they could have been legal if he didn't issue them under the authority he issued them under. Wouldn't that mean you should have affirmed the lower's court decision? This was only about tariffs under this specific authority. There will be other cases about other tariffs I'm sure.

 

That's a WEIRD justification. Other statutes available for tariffs are irrelevant to this statute.

Plus, the other statutes are mostly specific and historically used, while the IEEPA tariffs (“Liberation Day”) were massive and unprecedented. They were projected to be a $1.4 trillion tax hike over the next decade.

What’s left are: Section 232 (national security), which has been used before for steel, aluminum, autos, etc.; Section 301 (discriminatory trade practices), also used before, for example against China; Section 122 (balance-of-payments), which is new and has never been invoked - Trump mentioned a “global 10% tariff,” but it can’t exceed 15%, requires Congress after 150 days, and is meant for economic issues, not political retaliation, so it could be challenged in court; and Section 338 (discriminatory practices affecting commerce), which could go up to 50% but has never been used and is meant for specific countries or products, not a global tariff, so trying that would almost certainly face lawsuits.

 

Every time I see someone say they’re a libertarian and they’re cool with Trump I have to softly swallow my own vomit. Laissez-faire my ass.

 

Oh one thousand percent true. The entire GOP now is just whatever Trump says.

 

Maybe. It depends on how much it negatively impacts the economy.

But that won't happen without Congress specifically allocating that revenue to the working class (and trusting that the administration cannot illegally reallocate appropriations elsewhere, as is happening now)

 

Imagine pretending to be a Lbertarian and supporting a guy who says way out loud he’s allowed to destroy the country lol…grow up

 

Libertarianism is a fake thing, just a giant cop out. Probably the most selfish position one can take.

 

Libertarians are

- people who have no concept of human behavior and emotions (empathy being the biggest one)

- proponents of "Law of the Jungle"

- teens-20's who read a third of Atlas Shrugged

- loonies like Ron Paul

That would be a fun Venn Diagram to look at

 

I'm a libertarian and I believe the government's only role is to give me a girlfriend.

 

Many self-proclaimed libertarians are like self-proclaimed free speech absolutists, using a cool ideological label as a shield for their own freedoms while demanding others be silenced or controlled, the very opposite of those ideologies

 

Would have been better if you had replaced Bugs' face with a pic of earth from space

 

damn, I forgot point 5:

- single white males who can't get laid

 

LMAO

 

Right?

The trump regime has absolutely exposed who is an actual libertarian vs who is just a culture warrior rooting for red team

 

Let me tell you - as a lawyer - the way I'd describe it is:


the dissenters are basically a bunch of straight up b****es who were mad that they couldn't Calvin ball the Demented Diarrhea Emperor's preferred outcome

 

I'm pretty sure this is what the snake flag means
