Tariffs in the second Trump Administration [SPLIT]

Is he back with this crackpot idea again? How the fuck would this even work?

Does he still think that movies are only sold in hard copy at Blockbuster?

This got laughed at so hardm a few months ago when it was first mooted that it went away and died...I think there is actually no intention of actually imposing any
tariff...this is just performative nonsense for the MAGAt base.

I have never thought of movies as a product, dvds yes but going to the movies no. It’s more an experience as is the theatre and like RB I don’t know how it could possibly work.

Anyone else consider movies to be a product?

Trump continually goes after businesses who try to lower costs by sourcing what they need from the cheapest possible place and the cheapest possible labor which is what I believe he did during his business career. If he had some big beautiful real estate development and was sourcing the wood from Canada and a 50% tariff was placed on that wood just think how he would howl.
 
He would exempt his own company.

"US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it."

One of the inherent flaws with the whole "Make America Great Again" fallacy is that it assumes that America is the only game in town. It would be a little like K-Mart saying, "Oh, we're going to raise our prices because we're the only game in town" while Walmart and Target just snicker.

The last time Trump played the tariff game on agricultural imports/exports during his last reign of incompetency, China looked into the future and said, "Hey, Brazil... let's talk". That market is gone and soybean farmers are going to have to look for another source of income.

US grain/wheat farmers are only getting by until Ukraine is able to get back online again. The USAID cuts hit them hard. Once Ukraine is able to export grains again, US exports will take another hit.

The US somehow keeps forgetting that China has been at this for several thousand years before cast-offs from Europe and the British Empire started governing themselves in the US.

China is also watching the 250 year old experimaent fail as thugs and gangsters loot the treasury and rig the economy for a handful of tech billionaires.

While the US has been playing checkers for the last two decades and under Trump, is losing almost all its influence in the western world, as well as across Asia...China played the long game.

So Bessent, the pouting Wall St. pussyboi in charge of the economy is a joke to them. As is Trump.

They can box the US in, in so many ways.

America will 'neither be commanded nor controlled,' by China, says Bessent as trade standoff deepens

Beijing has yet to approve the sale of TikTok U.S., increase soybean purchases or ease export controls, despite several rounds of U.S. trade talks.

In the 2024 election, voters in Montana fired the only Senator who was a farmer, Jon Tester, who had served in the US Senate for nearly 20 years after many years in the Montana Legislature. He was replaced by a Republican businessman, Tim Sheehy, who had no political experience. Sheehy was born in Minnesota and he started a cattle business in 2020 right before he ran for Congress.

So, now farmers and cattle ranchers are getting screwed by falling export sales due to Trump's tariffs. To add insult to injury, Trump did a tariff carve-out for beef from Argentina, in order to prop up his ally, Javier Milei, who is in trouble politically. Milei's party may be thrown out of power in elections that take place in 3 days, over Argentina's sucky economy and a long list of political scandals (hmmm... seems familiar).

Beef retail prices in the US are up 50% since 2020. Production is down, as farmers and ranchers complain about high interest costs, increased material costs due to tariffs and a screw worm epidemic in Mexico threatens beef from Southern US States.

Trump has been on his little social media platform telling Americans to buy beef from Argentina.

President Donald Trump said this week he “loved” America’s cattle ranchers. But those farmers, who overwhelmingly supported the president in the 2024 election, say they aren’t feeling the love right now.

Trump is facing criticism from many US cattle ranchers after signaling support for increasing low-tariff beef imports from Argentina to ease record beef prices in the United States. The move comes just weeks after US soybean farmers blasted a separate deal with Argentina that they fear will give South American producers a competitive edge in that market.

Republican senator breaks with Trump on Argentina beef

Nebraska Republican Deb Fischer said cattle ranchers have had the rug pulled from under them.

Republican Senator Breaks With Trump on Argentina Beef

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer said she has "deep concerns" about President Donald Trump's plan to import beef from Argentina to help curb prices, adding that cattle ranchers have had "the rug pulled out from under them" by his administration.

The Nebraska Republican, whose state is one of the top beef producers in the U.S., said the move would harm the already struggling agricultural economy.

Oh noes! The Republican Congressmen sent a strongly worded letter!

And it has Republicans on Capitol Hill frantically raising alarm bells with the White House and even the president directly. The potential for such a move is testing the support of one of Trump’s most loyal group of supporters as his policies could risk their livelihoods. The unfolding episode also marks a rare moment on Capitol Hill where many Republicans are publicly breaking with the president and demanding he reverse course.

It’s a topic that has dominated the conversation with Trump — from Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota, who told CNN he has spoken “extensively” to the president on the issu, on down to freshmen like Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana. And the issue was raised by GOP senators in a private meeting with Trump at the White House on Tuesday.

Trump doubled down. His propaganda shop was posting yesterday saying that American farmers should be thankful that Trump's tariffs have saved their business from foreign competition. And they should lower beef wholesale prices and take lower profits to show their thanks to Dear Leader. :##:

Again...he is just telegraphing (or using a fucking bullhorn) to tell American farmers that he doesn't care about them because he no longer needs them.

That they are putting a system in place to make voting meaningless at the federal level.
 
Meanwhile, Ontario is feeling the brunt of Trump's auto related tariffs as Stellanta and GM talk about shifting their production.

In each case, the taxpayer (sound familiar) paid these companies to build their new plants here for the promise of good long term jobs.

You would think we'd learn.

So all this is going to do is harden Ontario and Canada against the US. We'll probably slap the shit out of these two with tariffs on those vehicles so they won't be selling them in Canada.
 
Trump is pissed with Canada today and has halted trade negotiations because of an ad that ran.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Canada has zero or less than zero influnece on the Supreme Court.

The best we can do is influence Congress members whose states are affected by the trade war and even that doesn't count for shit 99% of the time. The SC is ruling on whether
the Executive Branch has exceeded its authority and usurped the right of the Legislative Branch to impose tariffs at will.

And the ad from Ontario is targeted at the people in border states we trade most with, not to the SC as the audience.

Trump is still righteously pissed at their losses under CMUSA trade agreement his regime negotiated in 2018.

The ad from Ontario is being challenged...but our message is clear.


 
"Canada... charging our farmers as much as 400%".

Can someone explain that sentence?

Canada didn’t cheat and Reagan was no fan of tariffs and for the Reagan library to urge people to read the speech in full makes one wonder if they bothered to do so themselves.
 
That ad that enraged Mango Mussolini will be airing during the World Series game that features the Toronto Blue Jays. :ROFLMAO:

Canada does have a tariff-rate quota system for dairy products, where tariffs can reach up to 400% for imports that exceed certain limits.

However, U.S. dairy farmers have not actually paid these high rates because they have not exceeded the quotas set by trade agreements.
 
Trump is claiming it is Ai now.
