You're operating under the MSNBC/CNN assumption that the tariffs are the end goal.
They are not.
What IS the end goal? Causing market chaos by rapidly changing US economic policy repeatedly? Increasing prices for consumers? Causing companies to announce layoffs and shut factories? Causing long time allies and trade partners to look elsewhere for investments, markets, and global alliances? Forcing people to kiss the ring to get relief from tariffs? Please enlighten us.
Why, that hasn't worked for you in life? When people notice you doing something clearly stupid, you respond, "You don't see my end goal."
It's funny that some of you guys, some of the time, like to pretend that you're not Trump Humpers. I guess it makes you feel pretend sophisticated and nuanced.
But you're too stupid to not also occasionally at least PRETEND to understand that it makes zero sense to say anti-Trump = liberal.
Nope, Liz Cheney - and the rest of us - are just died-in-the-wool libs.
I'm simply pointing out that your own approval rating is lower than what you project Satan's would be.
If you think Liz Cheney and your buddies at the Lincoln Project are faring better than the Democrats you're kidding yourself.

Well, as the world burns, we have nothing to fear because Trump is hard at work . . . in Miami at the LIV Golf tournament at his Doral country club. Forget about the Masters. All eyes are on LIV Golf Miami to see whether South African European tour journeyman Dean Burmeister can repeat his win at the 2024 LIV Golf Miami. LIV Golf has been racking up huge TV ratings thanks to its new deal with Fox Sports. Its tournament in Saudi Arabi got a whopping 51,000 viewers for the final round. By comparison, the Houston Open, a lower level PGA tour event only managed to get 4.3 million viewers for its final round.
trump approval rating continues to slide, even before he personally caused a 10% stock market crash.
it's down to 46%.
I'm sure it will soon get to the same 44%ish level Biden had and stay there, unchangeable by anything other than a new great depression or his changing his pronouns to they/them.
The midterms are a long way off and this ignorant hysteria over short term pain will be long gone by November of 2026.
Trump is trying to do what he got elected to do. If it works the Democrats are in for a long spell on the bench. If it fails the GoP will get crushed in the midterms and in 2028.
No one has any idea if it's going to work yet.
I know for a fact it’s not going to work, based on the fact that it’s never worked before.

Golf means no new tariffs. That’s a positive. Now time to revoke a couple of the bad ines

Operative word, the first "your," perfectly reinforcing my point.
Then supplemented with, "your buddies at the Lincoln Project." To borrow one of your favorites, "I couldn't find the Lincoln Project on a map" (or more precisely, I probably wouldn't get closer than the right continent).
But here's what I CAN do: Identify Liz Cheney, a very conservative politician, as stating the absolute fact that Donald Trump tried to steal an election. Or, if you INSIST, at a VERY minimum, lied his a** off about that election over and over again, and to this day.
For you mo-rons, EITHER one of those make her and the rest of us "libs."
Okay, be fair: AFAIK he had a sexual assault judgment but not a conviction. I don't believe he was ever charged.
Of course, that's a distinction without much of a difference, but still.
You Libs have been so wrong on so many legal issues. You repeatedly said Trump was a convicted felon when he was NOT. I am sure you don't know the difference between assault and battery. As well as the difference between oral and verbal. Possibly spend more time on understanding the law instead of repeatedly posting garbage posts on here. Read up on the law! It will do you wonders.
For the ten thousandth time. Trump has been a convicted felon since May 30th, 2024 when a jury found him guilty on 34 felony charges. New York State law is quite clear on this, yet you refuse to accept it. I get that it’s hard to be in the stupid cult and accept that your leader is a convicted felon.
Anyway, now that the judgement has been entered you can no longer play semantic games incorrectly, and must accept that dear leader is a convicted felon.

wild that trumpies will look at the long history of tariffs failing and impoverishing nations and say yeah that's what I really want to do.
wealthy nations do not have high tariffs. For a good reason. They don't work to enrich a nation. Sure, poor nations have tariffs. We should not try to emulate the India trade policy.
Ma'ga is close to socialism - sticking government's big hand in, telling people and businesses how to allocate their capital.
Trumpism is sure closer to actual socialism than Dems are, on big macro policy. Dems don't tell capital where to go and how to allocate.

Genius.
The anti-Trump wing of the GoP is wildly unpopular.
Your ignorance of the groups and people in that wing is your own problem.
YOU are in that group which is less popular than the Democrat party which means YOUR own groups approval rating is even lower than the 29% the Democrats get or even the ratings you give Hitler and Satan.
You don't understand this because are very firmly in the 60% of the population with an IQ under 100.

China controls like 90% of the global supply of inputs into antibiotics.

Guys. Eddy did some graduate school, so he's definitely wicked smart. Sure he's a raging bigot, been wrong about 98% of the stuff he posts here, and lives in a doublewide with his mommy, but trust him this time!

Fun conversation with the evil MIC:
Observer: Hey Lockheed (Boeing, GD, etc.) executives, workers, and shareholders, why so glum?
Lockheed: Foreign sales way down - especially in Europe - because Trump was a threatening a-hole, completely unnecessarily.
Observer: Come on, it's gotta be more complicated than that, right?

They also control 90% of the pandemics, so that seems fair. /s
And we don't need any antibiotics. Keep your blood pure and inject bleach.

Typical false sophistication.
Name the industry that contributes to national security, and Trump knows nothing about it, won't listen to anything about it, and will hesitate not one iota to put his ego and insecurities above its interests.
The midterms are a long way off and this ignorant hysteria over short term pain will be long gone by November of 2026.

Yep. All that unfair trade that led to decades of GDP per capita going parabolic, other economic metrics mostly vastly outperforming those through much of the developed world, and immigrants yearning to be come to the US to be part of the success story. Despite the decline in manufacturing jobs, the re have still been manufacturing jobs in the US left unfilled. Are other aspects of the US economy a problem? The debt and deficits are, but in spite of some assertions (e.g., tank the markets to reduce rates and refinance), tariffs are much more likely to leave those problems unsolved, worsen them, or alleviate them to such a small extent that it will easily be overridden by the other problems caused.

I named an industry that you are wholly ignorant about and that Trump is well aware of.
You're one of the few people on earth more arrogant than Trump.
