YOU are the only one here with an agenda. Your narrative is to claim Trump is lying about everything, to put the right in a bad light and that is what you are doing since July of 2021.

And to point how close the Harris/Trump race was

Ffs...I'm really surprised nobody has to remind you breathe if you this fckn stupid

In other words, it's just more bullshit you pulled out your ***, like the claim about all those economists saying massive debt is a good thing.

“We’re going to be a tariff nation. It’s not going to be a cost to you. It’s going to be a cost to another country,”
-Trump

“A tariff is a tax paid by the U.S. importer, not a foreign country or the exporter,” Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy for the National Retail Federation, was quoted saying in a November analysis by the retail trade group. “This tax ultimately comes out of consumers’ pockets through higher prices.”

"The NRF report said that tariffs floated by Trump – specifically a universal tariff of 10%-20% on imports from other countries plus a 60%-100% tariff on imports from China – would affect prices on apparel, toys, furniture, household appliances, footwear and travel goods. On those six product categories alone, Americans’ spending power could be reduced by between $46 billion and $78 billion annually, according to the retail association."

Lemme guess: He's a lying pundit economist who is just trying to make Trump look bad?

No, it was in response to Thx who decided to claim Trump won by a landslide, as a way to show that tariffs work.
Yet another of his failed strawman attempts.


So, what are these "non-economic benefits" of the tariffs that failed to do what we were TOLD they would do?
I assume you won't give an answer that has anything to do with the question, because you simply don't know the answer.
You can't even answer the question of who pays the tariff fees, for **** sake.

Yeah... it was close. The landslide had nothing to do with showing tariffs work liar.

Oh look, yet another person who doesn't understand the difference between popular votes and electoral votes.
His popular vote margin was 1.6%. That's less than half of Biden's popular vote margin, and THAT wasn't even close to a landslide.

Tell you what: I'll take the contract to provide power to NY residents, you take the contract to provide power to RI residents. You'll make the same money as me, right?

Nice spin.
Your team won. And life is going to get more expensive, but you'll be happy to pay more for pretty much everything because, TRUMP!

Well worth it to "own the liberals".
How incredibly stupid.

Look, stop crying. If you are too poor to afford what you think a Trump presidency is going to do then you shouldn't have bet on your team and you should have planned ahead. Stop blaming your financial woes on the right. If you can't afford gas then maybe go work somewhere you can get a discount like Kroger or something. Can't afford food then ask for some assistance like them food stamps. Just be careful... don't try to get too much unethically... we know a guy on here that will come after you.

You couldn't afford prices when they went up before and were sure that it was ruining the country, but now that Trump is going to be directly at fault and increase prices even MORE, everything will just sort itself out?

So it's OK for prices to go up as long as Trump directly causes it, but bad for them to go up as a result of Trump-era recession correction under Biden.

Got it.

I have always been able to afford whatever I want and I never said it was ruining the country you drama queen.

, but now that Trump is going to be directly at fault and increase prices even MORE, everything will just sort itself out?

Far left propaganda and hate speech. Be careful... they may come after you for that hate speech Rob.

Recession correction LOL oh you silly fucker. That made me spit up my coffee drink. Recession correction is out of control inflation... got it. You silly tic turd.

Got it.

"The reality is this administration is responsible for their actions and those actions include those that helped gas prices in this country increase under Biden. Reality. These proposed changes won't do any of us any good."

Except if Trump does it. Then it will make America great again. Right?

"No, they would rather all of us die in the next world war if they can't control the country. Bunch of *******."
Yeah, nothing overly dramatic about THAT claim, huh?

Yes. Far left propaganda that has rewritten history since 1930, and no one has caught on except you, the great economics historian.

Recession is decline. The only way to recover from a decline is inflation, which is growth.
Considering that you don't even know WE are the ones who pay the costs of tariffs, I wouldn't expect you to understand the relation between the two, but you could at least TRY.

Inflation doubled from 2007 to 2008 due to the recession. There was no pandemic, no supply chain disruption, and no Russian declaration of war.
Biden was handed an economy in the shitter, supply chain disruptions, and Russia going to war.
But it's HIS fault inflation spiked?

Cool. Wait until it spikes again under Trump. I will watch for your posts where you vilify him for making your life so much worse.

You claim Trump caused a recession and Biden had to fix it. Now you think Trump is going to cause an inflation worse than the one Biden caused?

"No, they would rather all of us die in the next world war if they can't control the country. Bunch of *******."

Not dramatic at all. Biden has been doing well at pushing us towards a world war. Hey, if he does it before Jan 20th, your sensitive *** won't have to worry about those tariffs.

I am glad that me making fun of you went right over your head.

Stop, just stop. You are crying about having to pay tariffs but are ok with prices being up 19.9% under Biden. You are doing that hypocrisy thing again.

I love how you idiots just ignore the effects of a global pandemic and just blame Trump for the effects. You ******* love taking the easy way out and blaming, ignorantly might I add, a person who had NO CONTROL over the virus.

Cool. Wait until it spikes again under Trump. I will watch for your posts where you vilify him for making your life so much worse.

Well that is why all of us are on this car audio forum... so YOU can educate us about politics and economics. I do hope that you pay the most because of the tariffs.

When since under trump they had to lock up basic items like soda and toothpaste? Only thing they are not stealing is Father’s Day cards and job applications….

The only way it's not a slaughter is if you go by popular vote...and if you're using that as your criteria then you either delusional on how we elect presidents or in denial...

Inflation is the devaluation of the dollar...a loss of buying power in simple terms. What world do you live in to think that's growth?
