It’s hard to believe that so many people keep thinking this guy is some kind of monetary genius, when he’s gone bankrupt at least 6 times, destroyed the economy the last time he was in office (I refuse to call him “president”), and the overall truth came out that he wasn’t the billionaire a lot of people believed he was, is using tariffs against people who are supposed to be our allies… at least most of them. Truthfully, the only time this country’s been great was during the last few years of WW2, and that’s because they’d gotten rid of the first world menace, who committed suicide, and blasted the second menace with overwhelming technology.
The lesson that needs to be learned by the people trying to “get back” at other countries is that every time commerce is strong elsewhere, the U.S. does well itself, even if not as profitable as they hope it’ll be. Heck, maybe you should run for office in 2028; you’ll be a lot better than what we’re dealing with now! lol
I agree, Mitch, we have tons more to gain by trading and working with each other. And if we want a bigger share of the pie, then that’s an incentive for us to work harder. Small countries might want to mount some tariffs if they are building up an industry—since free-trade deals are often not on the side of smaller players—but that hardly applies to the US.
Unlike your current chap, I believe in your Constitution, and Art. II, s. 1 prevents me from running for the top job there. But even with a lower office, it really should be someone from that community, not an interloper. Having run for office three times, I’ve given things a pretty good shot to show I’m more than an armchair critic. Time for some younger people to have a go.
