    The economy is crashing. Ports are empty. Truck drivers have nothing to transport. Shelves will soon be empty of key goods. The dollar is dropping. Jobs are being lost. People aren't buying anything. There's no flow into the treasury. Our national debt is going up as a result of these tariffs as Americans do without. The global trade continues with the US removed unabated. We're the only ones harmed by this action. No one is negotiating anything.

    So yeah, great plan all around so far.
    Meanwhile China is removing some tarriffs snd msking exemptions. 

    Like I said before, it’s too early. Less knee jerk reactions and more balanced analysis before we see the ultimate results. 

    Nobody like a fight. But sometimes they’re necessary. And when you fight, you don’t do so just to fight. It’s to win. So far, we are seeing other countries wilting.

    Ok Xed and 9secondkox2. You both clearly disagree on a fundamental level and keep turning threads into shouting matches and insults. Report posts you believe need to be addressed by mods, but refrain from responding to eachother for a while. This isn't productive. If someone believes a lie, you're not going to convince them otherwise in an internet forum. This isn't a place to convince anyone of anything anyway. Discuss the topic, share what you think, disagree even, but don't waste your breath trying to change people's minds on such a divisive topic.

    People that ignore reality will ignore evidence, no matter how intelligently and calmly it is presented.
    Wow. 

    I never insulted. 

    Also, there was a ton of educational value in my post as most here don’t understand what reciprocal means. Or even what tarriffs mean. You can cut out the parts where you think I was insulting. But no need to delete the informative parts.

    The elimination of the USA's massive trade imbalance with the rest of the world is a necessity. The USA has been living on borrowed money for a long time and using it for excessive consumption. Effectively, China and other countries lends the USA money to buy their goods.

    It is likely that if Trumps sticks to his guns this rebalancing will be achieved but at the expense of the current generation of Americans, who will pay the price for previous the generations over consumption.

    The rest of the world will not pay this debt but they will suffer as world trade will decrease without American over consumption.

    On balance this probably has to happen but it would be better done with a more stable man at the wheel.

    This. It’s why American tariffs are not only reproach, but necessary. The USA has been getting slammed on the world stage as we have been tariffed to death. As soon as we what they’ve been doing, they cry foul. 

    Easy solution: drop your tariffs and we will drop ours. 

    It’s pure common sense and fair as fair can be. 

    Once the trade-hostile countries grow up and get fair, they will be treated in kind. 

    But as long as they pretend to be bullies, the bully buster will show them what’s up. 

    Best to just play fair and get along with the USA. Everyone will benefit. 

    It’s not right for the USA to suffer for their gain. A level playing field is the goal and it’s a very easy thing to do once these hostile government leaders get over themselves and think of their people for once. They talk “global”but what they mean is just themselves getting rich at others expense. Play fair and everyone wins - if they really care about being good global citizens.

    If Apple can do it, great. Just remember the lessons learned from feeding China for decades. 

    For India, this is huge. Even if many Indian workers don’t want manufacturing jobs, it may be a great blessing for the Dalits, who’ve been treated very poorly due to the remnants of unfortunate caste system in the past. 
    You have been consistently saying that Dear Leader is going to use tariffs to move manufacturing to the U.S. and create jobs here.  Now that the results of the tariffs are the jobs moving to India you are cheering on that as if were the plan all along long? Is the cult now all about MIGA? What happen to the art of the deal and the millions of Americans going to work to put little screws into iPhones? Was this all just nonsense? (it was) The mental gymnastics are just incredible and the cult abides.
    Incorrect. I’ve been “constantly” saying they are to create fair trade. And “occasionally” reminding others that another factor is “encouraging”a return to American manufacturing..

    ‘straw man eliminated.
