The issue isn’t tarrifs, it’s the execution of blanket tariffs in large, arbitrary amounts. This could have been thoughtfully implemented in a way that could have set us up for success in having companies move here without putting us in the economical mess we are in. Also, why are we even tariffing things like coffee that we can’t make domestically? Everything is not black and white, there is room for nuance and consideration when dealing with peoples lives and potential hardship.

Read "Art of the Deal" and you'll better understand why it's happening this way. There is a plan, and we will be better as a nation once completed.

We won't fail because of the tariffs. We will fail because the National corporate media are paid liars and we, collectively, won't have the necessary resolve. You'd need at least 5 consecutive terms of the same attitudes and political positions.

Yup. Once upon a time Democrats endorsed a lot of the same shit we do as conservatives. Trump Derangement Syndrome does crazy things to people...makes them reverse almost everything...from filibuster stances to supporting legal immigration and upholding deportation policies. They do these 180 flips all the time now.

They got rich off the tax payer and changed their tune.

What? You mean the Democrats aren't ACTUALLY champions of the working man? 🤯

It’s really sad that they threw the working man under the bus. They were totally ok with shipping all the jobs over seas as well.

Yup. Then screaming about the pain as we have to do damage control to strengthen our manufacturing sector after that horseshit. Tariffs hurt...but those jobs should have never left to begin with.

Did you just straight up not watch the video and still decide to comment? She literally says rhetorically while pointing to the chart "are these [the US's] reciprocal?"

Clinton at the SOTU in '92 called for a secure border and everyone stood up and clapped. My how the Dems are a raging fire of dog shit.

D’s want the tariffs revenue to feed their spending addiction and big government. Note that the Trump tariff 1.0 was not repealed during the clueless Biden administration, probably one of the few things that Biden did not reverse amazingly which should tell us something. Trumps motivation seems to be twofold, get the world off our nipple by reducing the size of US government and offset revenue of the 2018 income tax reductions. I support both ideals, but I hope tariffs are not the long term solution, as it merely plays into the D’s hand.

/r/Republican is a partisan subreddit. This is a place for Republicans to discuss issues with other Republicans. To those visiting this thread, we ask that unless you identify as Republican that you refrain from commenting and leave the vote button alone. Non republicans who come to our sub looking for a 'different perspective' subvert that very perspective with their own views when they vote or comment.
