Well, if it wipes out his base I'm good with it. I know it won't wipe out his billionaire friends.
He's always been a huckster that fleeced his base, but tariffs are even better than tennis shoes because he thinks he and his oligarchs get the money.

"...E.Jean Carroll for raping and defaming her."
You do not help your cause by posting lies. And you complain that Trump lies. Projecting? Rape is a criminal offense. He was tried and found liable [that's not the equivalent of guilt]. He was tried in civil court. You really need to learn the difference. I get it you don't like Trump. There are things he's done in his past, and even now that do not make him popular in some circles, but none of them, not one damn thing he has done eliminates his eligibility to be a candidate for, and the elected president of the United States, according to the qualifcations of Article II, not even the feloneous conviction. That what voting vetting is all about. He was elected, just as I accept Biden 2was in 20, so just stiop complaining and enjoy the ride as best you can

Not sexual assault. You're a broken record. And, so what? Does any item on your list violate the qualifications for candidacy of the presidency specified in Article II? No, they don.t. That kind of vetting is done by voters. They spoke. You get to sit down, now

...tariffs either make someone poorer either achieve no results.
That's a free market economy for you: winners and losers, but no ceiling win a free market, and no pit in marxism. Only marxism believes in limits. even by its direct cause.

Sure, if you think that making your trade partners into losers is a good idea.

I assume you're referring to Greenland rather than tariffs.
Greenland value is in the ground.
ICBM's overlook this.
But isolationist thinkers never feel secure.
You still need immigrants to do the hard graft though.
And if you don't want or need to import goods, then don't.
Global power lies in the west, perhaps Trump should buy the pacific.
And Hollywood tells you that the other guys always miss.
But I don't think that this is quite true.
Stay safe Fauxlaw.
Keep those stores topped up, water tanks full and the armoury close at hand.
NB. Place ultimate power in the hands of ageing degenerates, and all that they can remember is the Cold War.
Fortunately they die sooner rather than later, unfortunately, only to be replaced by another paranoid backwards thinker.
It's the way it works.
And the old white European endangered species will continue to bleat.
Sheep in red hats.

It seems that Mexico and Canada chose option 3: They impose tariffs on US goods.

Yeah, I was referring to Greenland, but it could also refer to any other territory, whether currently populated, or not. Relative to the quote above, its population is relevant. The population o Canada has doubled in my lifetime, and that adds to the competency to add to our body of knowledge, tech, survival, and well being.
Keep those stores topped up, water tanks full and the armoury close at hand.
Yep. Still adequately prepared and close. Now approaching 5 years' ability to go completely off the grid, if need be. Freeze-drying is a God-send. But I am currently violating State code for fresh water storage. It allows just 5,000 gal. The way I see it, rainwater on my property ought to be mine, and mine alone, so I collect from all roof downspouts through a filter and into my cistern. What falls outside my roof footprint is free to runoff where it will, much to a stream at the back of my property and neighbors, as well.
Place ultimate power in the hands of ageing degenerates, and all that they can remember is the Cold War.
Yeah, I'm a boomer, as you know, but I've been around then sun 75 times, and I'm relatively observant. I even remember Eisenhower, and was born under Truman.
Just winding you up Faux.
Yup, wound, as expected, and it's appreciated. Happy Groundhog Day, zed. Spring is coming. Game of Thrones can shove their dumb winter.

Be careful citing "laissez faire," when you apparently don't understand what that means to the French, and us by extension. I'm of French ancestry [that's why the tri-color of my avatar], and lived there for 3 years in my early 20s, so I know the language fluently. It means, literally, "allow to do," but that comes with conditions; namely, Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité, the slogan of the French Revolution, which we in the U.S share as ideals, including the French "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen." That does not imply that "laissez faire" means we can do whatever the hell we want, which is your interpretation, but that we have the freedom to do anything that does not harm others; a very U.S. Constitution doctrine. From whom do you think we got that particular nugget of truth? No, not from usurper KingJohn's Magna Carta, which does inspire much of the ratified Constitution in 1787.
As for Marxism, the creation of Karl Marx in 1848 [I'll assert here that it was suggested by Lucifer long ago], although Marx was thought by some to be a brilliant industrialist, he never even ran a lemonade stand, which teaches true and correct principles of a free market economy, which are ambition, planning, and. execution by means of innovation, competition, and lid-blowing [no ceilings]. No marxist economy has succeeded for 100 years, and the average time to failure is 40 years, because Marxists do not know how to create, but merely spend wealth.

Pointing out the technical French definition doesn't change the fact that in the usa it generally means unregulated free market. You are getting hung up on something irrelevant. The real debate is which limited smart regulations and safety nets r good. Not only that, but then u go on to say Marxism is bad, as if barely anyone is arguing it's good. Even the democratic party is mostly conservative in the bigger picture. For some reason u r getting hung up on the far left. Plus, this is a thread about tariffs. I don't know the context of your Marxist points initially but what do they have to do with trumps trade war? Self described anti Marxists usually rail against things like what trumps doing here. Your posts contain intelligence but it's a hot mess per relevancy. Focus, man, focus

Other presidents have had tariffs. This is just more of the same Trump TDS double standards.

Why did Trump re-negotiate NAFTA in his first term and introduce new tariffs in his second term which goes against the NAFTA deal he signed.
This is a long over due pissing contest. Trump just drank two 40's and Canada and Mexico both have enlarged prostates and pee'd 5 minutes ago. Rhetorically speaking.

Allowing harmful substances across their borders is a feature of the USMCA both Canada and Mexzico signed, as well. Are we powerless to enforce that? No, tariffs are appropriate enforcement.

Language is a product of culture, and our understanding of that product of other cultures is best served by understanding that product better than we do, currently. Particularly when we borrow another's language as an idiom of our own. That is the relevance of being allies, and that is clearly not your focus. So, back at you. Why do you think there are so many errors in Biblical text, fore example, that are obvious, and used to denigrate that text as not being holy writ. Translation is mostly done by dictionary-to dictionary comparison, but dictionaries are piss-poor teachers on culture. It just does not work. Were "biblical" scholars of the 5th century truly masters of Hebrew and Greek, or just Christian scholars who may have made honest attempts at translation, or may have had alternate motivation to corrupt, or both? We don't know, and lacking original texts, then and now, I don't doubt there are thousands of denominations just among Christians, worldwide, let alone Judaism.
IN my life, I have mastered English [mother tongue], French, Greek. Italian, and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and they were accomplished as much by direct in-dept exposure to those cultures as by classroom education.

Drug control is not part of the USMCA agreement signed by Trump.

"around then sun 75 times,"
I like that phrasing.
My previous post "This is a long over due pissing contest. Trump just drank two 40's and Canada and Mexico both have enlarged prostates and pee'd 5 minutes ago. Rhetorically speaking."
That was the shortest pissing contest ever. Both Mexico and Canada caved in 1 day. World leaders are quickly learning Trump doesn't bluff. If Trump thinks other countries are unfairly taking advantage of the US (Which they are) he is going to put them on notice and if things aren't changed they will get poked in the eye rhetorically speaking. And you can bet he will poke them dead in the fucking eye if they refuse to negotiate to mutually fair terms. About fucking time. That's what real leadership looks like. You can take all your diplomacy and shove it where the sun don't shine when it comes to what's in the best interests of the US. I for one am pleasantly surprised. I figured it would just be more of the same business as usual, different day different President. Its turning out to not be so.
