I have three questions for you:
1. Trump introduced tariffs on washing machines in his first term, how did it work out?
2. Did you actually read what GE said about this investment? In particular why they’re moving and when they started this plan.
3. The real benchmark is going to be GDP growth, if it’s less than the Biden administration would you agree that equals failure?

That's not necessarily the case. The price of Adidas or Nike goods may go up (or may not), but US-made alternatives will become more competitive.

If mad fuckers want to pay over the odds for fashion footwear, it's up to them. Nobody complains that Ferraris are a bit pricey, do they?

 

Nike & Adidas have both said they’re putting up prices because of tariffs.

Less than 1% of the trainers sold in the USA are manufactured there. There are no US alternatives. Nobody of any size or scale is manufacturing trainers in the USA. 

Well now is the chance for US manufacturers and those from perhaps the UK and other low-tariff places to sell some shoes that don't rely on slave labour

Do you actually read this stuff before posting it?
Nike said tariffs will add $1bn to it's costs this year. An extra $1bn passed on to customers.

They are not moving production from China to the US, they are moving it to other Far East countries.
It's just a tax making your goods more expensive.

Adidas said the same thing a few weeks ago:
""Since we currently cannot produce almost any of our products in the US, these higher tariffs will eventually cause higher costs for all our products for the US market," chief executive Bjorn Gulden said.

why are you celebrating retail prices going up?

Speaking of the Donald, did anyone see that utter cսnt AOC pushing for him to be impeached for bombing the Iranians without first consulting Congress. She's since shut up so I'm guessing that someone must have told her that Obhama dropped more than 26,000 bombs in seven different countries without muttering a word to Congress.
Honestly, the stupidity of the libs is endless.

Flaws in my argument, you mean the ones that are constantly proven to be correct.

You can keep looking for a narrative while Trump continues to notch up the wins.

Lower inflation, Including lower egg prices.

Thousands of kids saved from Biden’s sex trafficking scandal

Secure borders

End of DEI

The fast clip of Deportations of the illegals and criminals

His use of the National Guard and Military to put Antifa in their place.

peace between India and Pakistan, Israel and Iran and Congo and Rwanda. Trump now Nominated for the Noble Peace prize.

Knocked out Irans nuclear ambitions.

Has brought in over $10 Trillion in new investments into the USA.

New plants and factories being built en masse in the USA as we speak.

Has slapped the NATO members into place to pay 5% of GDP. Peace through strength.

Billions in the Treasuries coffers with new Tariffs revenue

Slashed Hundreds of Billions in wasteful and corrupt spending of tax payer money. (DOGE)

Oil prices down.

Men banned from playing women’s sports

You can expect the Trump admin to replenish the petroleum reserve that Biden drained.

Trump’s big new beautiful bill that provides tax cuts to those on social security, that work overtime and that earn tips. Will add a major boost to the USA’s GDP.

New trade deals where the unfair practice of Tariffs being levied against the USA and trade barriers are removed. Creating more open markets and fair trade to all including the USA markets.


Yeah so much to dislike. 


MAGA where winners win!

It’s fast becoming the time where you stop bloviating surely.

Aside from inflation, the rest of your love affair with a proven sexual abuser is nothing to do with tariffs.

and what you posted was wrong, inflation isn’t down. Since tariffs were introduced it’s ticked back up.
manufacturing output has gone down
so have manufacturing jobs
input costs have gone up
those are facts.

as of now you have 1 (one) trade deal with the U.K.

Blah blah blah!

I’m sorry did I hurt your feelings by pointing out the obvious? He put these tariffs in place and when the bond market shit its pants he was forced to back down.

the art of the deal? That July deadline is fast approaching and he’s agreed 1? deal with the desperate Starmer.

pointing out the flaws in your argument isn’t defending the Chinese, they’re just facts.

10/10 for the melodrama again though.
who exactly is ‘they’ that tried to assassinate him?
