And he will do it.
He has to figure out this thing with a boat, a shark, and a battery…
But once he works that one out, China will be paying our taxes.
This basically eliminates almost all taxes on the rich, burdens middle and lower class with higher prices, and blows up budget deficit.
So much for FiScAL ReSPonSibiLiTY
Eat the rich. Tax the motherfuckers.
Oh yes! /c/eattherich@kbin.social
This freak lost a fucking Casino. The place where people just give you their money. A CASINO!!! He is an idiot and the worst “business man”. Con man looking for a new con.
Idiot is an understatement.
More getting other countries to pay for things I see. The hubris I swear.
He only can get one more term, so I suppose he can promise whatever at this point. It’s not like he’s got credibility consequences for lack of follow through at this point.
The swing states and their votes are:
Nevada (6), Arizona (11), Wisconsin (10), Michigan (15), Pennsylvania (19), and Georgia (16).
He needs 38 electoral votes out of that.
Michigan+Pennsylvania+Wisconsin would do it on their own, and they’re all Rust Belt states, so I figure that promising protectionist policy on manufacturing is probably gonna sell well there.

He only can get one more term
Until the corrupt Supreme Court decides to adopt the “unconstitutional constitutional amendment” doctrine and gets rid of that pesky 22nd amendment.
Moot point though because the old fuck will probably die before a third term is even on the table.
SCOTUS wouldn’t rule that. The whole idea of a corrupt judiciary is just a back lash at originalism gaining favor over living constitutionalism. They aren’t ‘evil’ they just don’t have a judicial philosophy from the 1960s.
if you don’t think (at least) Thomas, Alito, Barrett, and Kavanuagh are outright malevolent self-serving sociopathic evil - you haven’t been paying any attention.
Tarrifs on imports?
So basically jacking up prices on all the things made overseas that are cheapest to buy in the US. That affects everyone, especially the poorer people that tend to shop places where that cheap imported stuff is sold because it’s a bigger percentage of their income. It’s gonna affect the middle class the most because they’re probably the biggest consumers. The rich DGAF because well, they’re rich.
Quickest way to put even more people below the poverty line.
things made overseas that are cheapest to buy in the US
Things that are made overseas because American business owners outsourced the manufacturing jobs to the countries with the cheapest labour (and also the least worker protections)?
Yeah, that’s a whole 'nuther discussion besides the tariffs…
What? No, this is the same exact discussion… that is literally one of the primary purposes of tariffs: to give an advantage to local producers.
I think you misunderstand, friend. The ship has already sailed overseas and there aren’t enough “local” producers to make up for the rise in costs faced by the people who shop where the cheap imported goods are and the middle class that consumes the most.
The only advantage is to the government collecting the tariffs on the poor and middle class. Like I said, the rich won’t care.
Yes… that’s literally the point? Tariffs both support existing local producers and are an incentive to move production local.
Horrible idea from a horrible orange blob.
