Yes and I say we can do this!!! Give yourself some credit!! See this is the problem with America today. Everybody is so beaten and so resigned to the fact that we can't do anything when in reality we have all the power to change everything and make everything better. We CAN make America great!! We CAN make the West great!! We just can't take everything for granted. We now have to WORK to make things great! America, regardless of everything, IS still the greatest country in the world (Japan is a close second). It REALLY is. I have travelled to many parts of the world and I can tell you that for a fact. This is probably the America's soul that needs saving, the will to believe in oneself. Biden always touts himself to be savior of America's soul. I think it's Trump who's going to really save America's soul. LOL
As one of many levers, tariffs can work short term. Unfortunately, Trump appears to be leaning on tariffs as the foundation for foreign policy negotiations and the elimination of the US income tax. As much as I hate to say it, Trump will fail, and the US citizenry will bear the brunt. The US banking system, trade treaties, currency values (now floating), and country demographics barely resemble the days prior to the Federal Reserve. It is folly to think the US income tax can be replaced through tariffs! Tariffs are a single lever that can easily backfire. JMO

Perfect incentive for the bible-making business to go local. Why engage someone 10K miles away on the other side of the globe across an ocean in a regime that doesn't even have freedom of religion to produce the holy book of the Christian religion and then ship them all the way across the sea to some small local church in a town of 5000 in Someville, Alabama when you can just commissioned a local bookmaker or better yet open a local bible manufacturer to make the same bible, creating local jobs and save costs, lowering unemployment and inflation at the same time? My god, when Trump is done with his tariff levying, there would be full employment and zero inflation!! US will truly become a Utopia!!
@TheDawn im with you. It sounds good in theory on paper. Let’s see when the rubber hits if it sticks. If we want change, better future for our kids tough choices need to be made now today. A strong President that unites us to be strong is what we need. Stronger communities. Is Trump that guy? @deaddog brings valid reasoning to the table. We are softies made to consume little whining bitches. . I’m not one of those. I super underconsume
you are talking about trump, a guy only cares about profit, aka higher sales price minus lowest cost. you think he cares about alabama and us industries lol.
