The purpose of tariffs isn’t to drop prices, it’s to support domestic production, increase government revenue, and as leverage in trade negotiations. Tariffs have been in place for every year of the entire existence of the US. Why do people act like Trump invented tariffs? Tariffs have been a thing for 5,000+ years.

I implore you to look at US steel, aluminum, auto, and broader manufacturing production. Honda and Hyundai have shifted production to the US and made tens of billions in investments. Did you think he was saying China is going to buy steel for Americans? I've never once in my life acted like Trump speaks with perfect precision and accuracy. If you're still taking what he (or any politician) says at face value then you have learned nothing in the past 10 years.

I don’t take him at face value, I know he was playing tariff chicken to manipulate the market for his buddies 😭

“Not speaking with perfect precision and accuracy” is putting it far too lightly. I don’t understand how not being able to take what he says at face value isn’t a greater concern for MAGA. I’m not talking about typical politispeak, I’m talking about incessant lying and self-contradiction. Direct Trump quote: “Americans are not paying for the Tariffs — they are being payed for compliments of China.”

You can’t even quote me accurately, that’s hilarious. You had to change what I said in order to make it fit into the point you wanted to make. How ironic

You’re embarrassingly stupid if you’re genuinly claiming you used quotes only once in that comment.

In a conversation about the accuracy and validity of what people say you’ve shown yourself to be on Trump’s level if not far below it. You specifically criticized lies and contradictions and found yourself guilty of the same. I literally had to correct you over it. It’s ironic. And you aren’t even aware of the fallacies you’re tripping over, you just type out the first thoughts that make you feel good, and you have no idea how dumb you’re making yourself look.

Here’s a little difference between me and Trump you may be unaware of: I’m not responsible for leading the United States of America. There’s a little difference in responsibility there. “You have no idea how dumb you’re making yourself look” dawg I could not care less what you people think and honestly based on the upvote gap in this little fuckfest you started am not too worried I’m the one perceived as dumb right now
