Don't be stupid and act like this is good for anyone. Levying tariffs with zero regard for consequences isn't going to be beneficial to you, me, or the average American. Prices will go up, companies will absolutely NOT invest in factories if they don't see a return, some companies will go out of business if they're relying on a global supply chain, etc. This is the most ill-conceived economic plan in US history, and you lap it up like it's not a complete disaster. Come on, own up to it - you MAGAs created an abomination.My mistake for assuming you know more than you actually do.
China is the worst offender, not even allowing google to be accessed by its subjects, stealing IP, using slave labor and so forth.

Tariffs are about the only way we can fight IP, human rights, and similar issues in China that give Chinese business unfair trade advantages. Do you know of another way?
Do you deny that IP theft, slave labor, and so forth are unfair trade practices?
If this happened during the Biden admin, Sec of Def Austin would have been called a DEI hire within minutes the story broke.
You are claiming it is not good for anyone? That qualifies as truly stupid.

OK, even if one agrees that China is worth targeting, levying tariffs on other countries with zero regard for the effects is completely senseless.
In other words, you agree tariffs are justified on countries that use unfair trade practices?
Do YOU agree that reciprocal tariffs are far more warranted than tariffs that exponentially exceed the tariffs that are levied on American companies?
These were not "battle plans." Please stop parroting that lie. Here, read for yourself the messages that were leaked. It was a real time discussion as the attack was underway. This was not a security problem for three reasons.
1. The editor of The Atlantic did not notify the Houthis that an attack was underway.
2. The Houthis didn't need to be notified by the editor of The Atlantic that an attack was underway. They figured this out when the bombs began exploding.
3. Even if the editor of The Atlantic was treasonous enough to notify the Houthis, he had no way of doing so. Do you have the Houthis phone number or email address on hand?

- Chinese tariffs on US goods: 7.3%.
- New US tariffs: 67%
- EU tariffs on US goods: 5.2%
- New US tariffs: 40%
- Vietnam tariffs on US goods: About 5%
- New US tariffs on Vietnamese goods: 46%
In specific instances, not across the board. Don't try and act like the WTO even remotely agrees with what your moron is doing. If China were dumping cheap steel on the market, enacting a tariff on steel makes sense. This ain't that.
At some point, I assume you'll extricate your head from your ass. I don't think this is that point. If you think what your regime did was OK, that's a you problem. People who aren't brainwashed MAGA sheep don't think it was OK.These were not "battle plans." Please stop parroting that lie. Here, read for yourself the messages that were leaked.

From the editorial board of the Economist, a truly serious publication:
President Trump’s mindless tariffs will cause economic havoc
But the rest of the world can limit the damage

I love #3, as if the Houthis have no internet access. Also, you contradicted yourself here - so the journalist notifying the Houthis would have been a problem? Or was this not a big deal, as you stated? Note that the chain started two hours before the bombings did. Is it treasonous to cavalierly post this information to an unapproved communication platform and share with a journalist, or only for the journalist to publish it?These were not "battle plans."

Oh but they have.
They've moved their manufacturing plants to those Countries that have high tariffs on US goods.
Exactly.
Which leaves us as the service-based/corporate ownership, low unemployment, high standard of living epicenter of the world. And it has left the masses in those countries as the low wage factory workers.
Every comment that you made is a lie or a childish distortion. It was a trivial security breach that the TDS haters are trying to mountain a molehill. It was a nothingburger. The military mission was a complete success.
Nothingburger AND TDS in the same post.
Drink twice.
The success of the mission is STILL irrelevant.
This is the mentality of those with TDS. Never mind that the Houthis terrorists who have been attacking and pirating civilian ships for years were dealt a devastating blow and that the US military had zero causalities. The important thing is there was a security leak that caused no harm. The woke are going to huff and puff and sh1t rings around themselves and stomp their feet and hold their breath until the cows come home.
Don't try and act like the WTO agrees with it? When did I do that? Why would I do that?
China IP theft, slave labor and other unfair and unethical labor and trade practices affect all of their products, not just specific products. What do you suggest we do to counter that? Nothing?
You keep diverting to China.
How about the exponentially higher-than-they-charge-us tariffs on so many other countries?
You asked for examples and you got them. Now answer the question asked.
I don't duck questions, but I also don't answer them on someone else's imagined schedule.
Why did you put China at the top of your list, and then now complain about 'diverting'?
It's amazing that all you can do is spout these tired labels that you think are insults (woke, aaaargh!!!! TDS!!!!!!!) and defend dangerous incompetence. Sad ...
Sure, and Hillary's emails were definitely more of a security risk, nutwad. The right latched onto that one like it was bringing down the republic.
Where did I post a lie or "childish distortion?" Give me literally one instance. Can't? Hmm, shocking. It seems to me that MAGA treat facts as lies and vice versa, so color me unsurprised that you're ironically accusing me of lying.
Yes, diverting to China is an accurate description of your line of responding. And, no, tariffs aren't the answer. What about EU countries, the UK, Canada? Are they all stealing IP and commiting human rights violations?
Note that the WTO generally mediates trade disputes, including unfair tariffs. Unfortunately, they will likely make this ruling against the US and see MAGA completely ignore it. This regime is out of control and drunk on power. The f*ck-ups these imbeciles are causing will take decades to un-f*ck. And, of course, if the recovery isn't fast enough, Democrats will be blamed. It happens every time we have a Republican in power ... At least for the past century, that is.
Blah blah blah. No one is arguing against hitting the Houthis so can drop that from your standard BS replies.
What about next time? Does it take an unsuccessful mission before MAGA says something went wrong? Apparently the answer is yes.
This is about what happened BEFORE the mission ever happened dipstick.
According to your logic, there's no reason to change using Signal for classified info.........because the mission was a success. Is that your stance?
TDS. Drink.
China is the largest offender by far. To clarify yourself, are you saying tariffs are not the answer for the largest offender by far - and if so, what is the answer? To do nothing?

Duh.
Republicans were against tariffs until trump was for them. Now they believe whatever he tells them, like you.
Yeah BB62, why don't you understand that recessions and a cratering stock market are good things for the American people.
