Trump is threatening tariffs as leverage for other things like curbing the illegal import of drugs into the US.The inability to see the difference here is what is astounding. There is a MASSIVE difference to having tariffs on one class of goods compared to applying tariffs to ALLL classes of goods. I wonder if you can understand why that isn't registering with you? I mean, find an economist who thinks Trump's plan is a good strategy that will help the US economy. You won't be able to find it, because they don't exist. All it will do is raise prices, because importers (like Walmart or the GAP) will pass on the higher prices to the consumer.
And, it might shock you to know that the US has tariffs on many products that are imported (as does Canada). Off the top of my head, I cannot tell you what they are, but in the past they have included Canadian softwood lumber, Chinese steel, etc.
Now, if you really want to dig deep into hypocrisy, how come when Trump says horrible things about Democrats, he gets a pass, and if Biden stumbles on a word/phrase, the right-wing media falls all over itself to say he called all Trump supporters garbage and it is outrageous. And it goes the same for Harris. She needs to be flawless on everything, while Trump can air jerk off invisible men or blow a mic stand with impunity. He constantly says deranged things in his incoherent rants that are stupid, dangerous or inaccurate. So, please, spare me your indignation. Trump says so much that should be attacked and isn't.
A comedian says something and everyone immediately associates it to Trump and the media loses their shit.
Biden says it directly and crickets.
The leftwing nuts at SNL even made fun of him when he tried to open the door of the truck because he attempted to grab the handle a couple of times...nothing really funny about that...happens to everyone. That's how biased and desperate they are.
btw where is "stepped aside" Biden these days?
