TRUMP was the guy who buried the USA.
It was bad, but with the right strategy it was easy to overcome the crisis.
But Trump is so stupid that he believed that the world would kneel down and sit at the negotiating table, but what he didn't know is that the world had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
TRUMP will be known as the president who destroyed America once and for all. SAD!

Yes, but as the image shows, it's really Putin's idea. Only the Russians were not TAXED (tariffed) and it's obviously because Trump is Krasnov.

Trumps Tariffs will be a historic fuck up and it will not be forgotten for a long long time

The irony is that the country was on the upswing. Interest rates were coming down and by all measures we were winding up for a good time. Trump could have done literally nothing and we would be enjoying a booming economy. Now we're looking at Smoot Hawley 2.0.

This is exactly right. Think about it like a mob boss running a protection racket, but on a global scale. Create chaos, weaken the economy, make businesses desperate, then offer “relief” if they fall in line. The tariffs aren’t economic policy - they’re a weapon. And whether by design or manipulation, Trump is using them to make America weaker and more dependent on him - just like a good doggy would.

May I present to you the "Trump Got a Blump" theory.
Putin has some dirt on Trump. We all know about him being in Russia, and having prostitutes brought over (compliments of the Russian government). Said prostitutes were engaging in watersports and all manner of degenerate acts. Trump got a blumpkin by them as well. Russian FSB got it on tape thru the use of hidden cameras and bugs. He's been being blackmailed by the Russians ever since.
So you see, the stock market is crashing, the US is going to be destroyed and lose it's #1 spot, and much more pain to come, all so Trump can avoid being embarrassed. All because Trump got a blump(kin).
"Sorry baby, looks like we can't retire as planned. I probably have to work at least another decade to get back on track. All because Trump got a blump."

The Russia hoax strikes again. How about we stop exploiting immigrant labor and slave conditions in China and invest in America again? There has never been such a great opportunity to invest as in now.

I feel like his supporters are going through stages of coping mechanisms.
The fact that Trump has done very little to actually encourage investment outside of making things unaffordable should be really telling. There's no grand plan. The guy just has fixation with tariffs and thinks of economics only in terms of winners and losers. He's a dinosaur living off a mindset that calcified in his 70s and 80s heyday.

Investing in America would mean demanding better labor and environmental protections from our trade partners. Laying down standards to avoid tariffs while making American products more competitive.
Investing in America would mean bringing taxes on the ultra rich back up to a sane level, I.e around what they were in the 1950s. Currently republicans are working on a plan to cut taxes on the rich by trillions over the next ten years.
Dear Leader is doing none of this while imposing the largest ever tax increase on the working class

Invest in what?
What manufacturing do you think we can bring back that's going to be worth making in the US? We've largely shifted to a service economy. You're not getting your fucking widget factory back.
No one's going to want to buy an American made iPhone. And making the currently produced ones unaffordable for the US market doesn't suddenly make an American one practical for the rest of the world. The goods still have to be competitive on a global market, and all Trump is doing is isolating us from it.

The time of exploiting immigrants and slave labor in places like China is over. We were heading for absolute disaster with the way the economy was set up. Cut the beurocratic fat, curtail deepstate influence, stop the pillaging from the globalist, stop the forever wars for the elite, take on the deficit, curb record high personal debt slavery, invest in our infrastructure and manufacturing, match other countries tariffs in a equitable and reciprical way, scale back the IRS, give dividends and tax breaks to the middle class, deregulation, and become energy independent amongst many other reforms. It's all going to make us far better off. We were heading off a cliff and would not have survived again to rebound like before, especially with China up our ass. Down with the old NWO that wasn't working and in with the new.

Walling off the US isn't going to suddenly make China less competitive to the rest of the world.
Worse, Trump has done an absolutely stellar job unifying said rest of the world against us. Tell me getting China, South Korea, and Japan to all agree on something against us is some sort of masterstroke on Trump's part, and not just a colossal bout of stupidity.
It's incredibly short sighted, because Trump is incapable of imagining not being in a position of power over everyone he interacts with. He cannot understand being counter-punched. And literally everyone is going to do so, often in concert with each other, because they perceive the US as a belligerent nation. Why is anyone going to want to work with us under these conditions?
Cut the beurocratic fat
None of the people Trump has in charge have a fucking clue what they're doing. At least when they're not actively gutting useful things because they work against their own personal interests. Looking at the things Musk gutted first is very telling, because they were often agencies that had legal cases against his businesses.
The man threw out free filing with the IRS. Why? Are the interests of TurboTax and Intuit more important than a simple method of filing for the average taxpayer?
take on the deficit
The man just signed off a hugely unfunded tax cut that realistically the only way it could possibly be paid for is to gut social security or medicare. You could literally cut everything else they're attached to and you'd still have to gut those things in order to cover the huge addition to the deficit he added.
curb record high personal debt slavery
Didn't he just overturn capping interest rates on credit cards? And overdraft fees? What debt is Trump freeing us from exactly?
invest in our infrastructure and manufacturing
Christ, dude. What are you talking about? Trump has done almost nothing to invest in infrastructure and manufacturing. He keeps making gestures towards overturning the CHIP act, maybe largely just because Biden was responsible for it (clearly a very mature attitude for a 78 year old and the President of the US to hold.)
He hasn't spoken much about actually encouraging domestic manufacturing, instead seemingly relying on pricing the alternatives out (which doesn't change those options for the rest of the world, US Tariffs don't make Chinese manufacturing less appealing outside of the US.)
match other countries tariffs in a equitable and reciprical way
The fact that the tariffs numbers Trump cited matches up with the difference between US imports and exports with said countries should give you pause. Because that's not the same thing as a "tariff." It makes absolutely no sense to expect every other country in the world to buy US goods equal to or greater than what we import from them. They're not all the same size, they don't all need the things we make or services we do. That doesn't mean the things they sell aren't valuable to us. You can't tariff a tiny island nation that maybe grows something we like to eat into buying American trucks or whatever. And you're certainly not going to be any better off killing exports from that country until they do.
and become energy independent amongst many other reforms.
The guy who keeps harping about wind farms killing birds and trying to bring back coal at the expense of renewables is going to make us energy independent?
The guy is 78 years old. Check out how long it takes to build a power plant. And then factor in how unlikely anyone is going to want to build anything for the next four years, because Trump makes everything uncertain.
We were heading off a cliff and would not have survived again to rebound like before, especially with China up our ass.
If you can't see how Trump has strengthened China's position in the world, you aren't looking hard enough. Trump is already a moron when it comes to not getting soft power, something he's almost entirely ceded, for free, to the Chinese, but he's even created a convenient adversary that China can use. Hint, it's us. We're the bad guy now.
Good fucking job.

I appreciate the time and care you took with your reply. We do, however, see things very differently. I have been keeping a close eye on things, and I am very pleased with what has transpored and expect the country and myself to benefit greatly. It's not an easy transition, but it was necessary. IMO Lets hope I am right and we will be better off
