Trump: 25% tariffs on ALL steel & aluminium imports from Monday

[bver_hunter]

In the past the righties have denounced tariffs as being a Socialist / Marxist / Communist Policy.
Now that Trump has imposed it starting right away as he currently signed it into policy, wonder whether he is now a "Marxist"??
He wants to impose more tariffs when there is retaliation!!

We know that when these tariffs were imposed in the past, the costs rose and then they had to get rid of them.
Yet he and his cronies made the fake claims that 110,000 jobs were "Created"!!

It's a really stupid move. If the tariff is on steel but not the finished product then imported cars just got cheaper.

And I'm pretty sure the various manufacturers are already screaming over the phone to Congress.

MAGA is still just learning how tariffs work.

Just to show you how fucked the USA is they actually cheered one of the most putrid maggots on the planet {TRUMP] at the Super Bowl. Trump is probably the most hated sicko on the planet and the USA is rapidly becoming the most hated country on the planet.

Please remember that America is divided. Half the country either likes him or is willing to give him a chance, and half the country can't stand him. In the latter group, we are embarrassed for his words and actions both nationally and internationally.

Yup UAW is going YEE HAA. as are the Mexicans. We should put a 25% tariff on US steel rising to 50% in 2 months to allow Canadians business time to adjust,. Of course we should match the tarriff $ for $ on some other red state products.

No.
Executive Orders can be to clarify how the executive will proceed within the scope of what Congress has legislated.
Doesn't have to be emergencies.

But the power to set tariffs and control trade delegated by congress to the president actually is purely an emergency power.

We discussed this before. Previously, he could try to make a lame argument that it was a way to resolve the "border crisis". A judge would have killed and eaten that argument within 20 minutes courtroom time.

But now, he doesn't even have that sad charade to claim an emergency.

Canada should put a massive export tariff on iron ore exports to the USA and use it to provide a 25% subsidy to steel producers. tee hee. Our iron ore is very high grade and it would really fuck up the US steel producers to switch.
