They can move to the U.S. and then pay tariffs to import the parts, and have a smaller international demand for the product do to retaliatory tariffs and just straight avoidance of U.S. products while making their product in a higher cost to operate area. OR they can build a mine, pay higher lifting costs, higher wages, produce a much more expensive product of shitty quality to keep the price hopefully low enough that they can still have a demand for the product abroad, but everyone will coorelate their American products as shit because they cut corners to try to keep the costs low enough while having higher expenses. So no one wants their product. Or they could not cut corners and make a great product that costs so much that their market shrinks down to inoperable levels and go out of business.
You’re not getting it. He said it in ALL CAPS, so the globally-connected economy doesn’t actually exist. Tariffs punish BAD GUYS and have no effect on GOOD GUYS. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
“Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.”
Professor William T. Kelley, who taught marketing at the Wharton School of Business and Finance when the orange one was a student there (source)
He also doesn't read. Ever. The only book he is known to possess (a gift) is one with speeches by Hitler. He probably hasn't even read that one. He had also real trouble reading the teleprompter during the campaign trail and seemingly ignored it most of the time.
Oh, so immigrants are ok if they're companies?
I thought companies were considered people in the US
Caucasian people though. So it's okay.
Immigrants are OK if they're legal (Musk still needs his foreign workers because "Americans are mediocre and lazy" according to his friend Vivek Ramaswamy) 😂
Immigrants are okay if they're rich.
And white
Preferably Russian and and oligarch.
Or South African
his audience wouldn't notice the issue with this claim
Mainly because they are SO SO SO fucking dumb.
Dude, they did, under Biden's IRA. The one you just tore up.
Jesus, dude. This guy is too old, stupid and evil to lead.
This guy is too old, stupid and evil to lead.
Putin: perfect!
Trump always talks like a dummy who is fed half baked ideas by someone only slightly smarter than he is.
Isn't that exactly what's happening?
He sounds like a toddler who learnt a new word explained to them by their slightly older cousin.
I thought he was against immigration.
Illegal immigration. That's what he's against.
No, I don't like Trump, but I don't feel the need to let people lie about him. I'd rather shit on him accurately, thank you very much.
See- this is a problem. Illegal immigration means one thing, but people hear it and think of a family speaking spanish in the grocery store and assume them to be what 'illegal immigrants' are. People just ascribe anything vagely unknown to them as 'illegal immigrants' and want it gone not realizing that most of the time the people they are imagining are here legally. It's still racism but with a technically safe cover word, but many are hearing one thing and thinking another.
So when everyone is talking about illegal immigrants they could mean completely different things depending on who you talk to.
Or if you're a Ukrainian refugee.
Or they can just stop providing products and services to america and expand in Asia, Europe and Australia
Lol... that's insanely hilarious.... or is it hilariously insane? I can't keep track with this nut job
So he wants me to migrate to the US and start a business?
Only if your complexion allows you to use mayonnaise as foundation.
What if I use it as hair conditioner?
No migrate, just start business è_é
Does he really think businesses pay the tariffs? I doubt it
He knows they don't but he doesn't have to pay them and he couldn't bring himself to care about anyone else.
Are you really trying to find some logic in what Trump says? I think it should already be obvious he has no fucking clue how the economy works.
If we want to be generous with his interpretation he means that if you uproot your entire business (including production) and bring it to the US then you don't need to pay tariffs because you're making it all inside the US. Except anyone with even the slightest understand of the entire production process knows that it's effectively impossible in the timeframe he has forced upon everyone. So we still end up with him having no fucking clue what he is doing.
When your president failed
law schoolkindergarden.Here, corrected that for you
Our president is still trying to make this moron understand that he needs to be less of a bully with his country's friends. She is the only hope, short-term, to avoid severe consequences of tariffs in North America. I hope she's got intelligence and patience for both of them.
Well naturally, if all the companies move to the US, there won't be tariffs because there won't be trade. With the way the US is going these days, I'm wondering if the US might come to the companies instead
The problem are the shit-talkers. There are so many advisers talking shit to Trump and he's just repeating it. There's more shit coming out of his mouth than there is in his diaper - and there's alot of shit in his diaper. Trump may be dumb, but he's still the best politician in america. He reads a room and gets his message across better than anyone. Too bad he's a rapist, misogynistic, convicted criminal. And so easily influenced by Putin and the Evangelicals. If you want to know what Trump is doing an why, look at the goals and methods of these two.
He's not a good politician, he's a good opportunity. A lot over overlap with politics, but very different things.
If the tariffs work, then how are tariffs going to fund the government? Seems like a lie
IF US COMPANIES HAVE NO MATERIALS, THERE ARE NO JOBS.
If the rest of the western powers divest amd braindrain from the US, can they afford to upkeep their nuclear arsenal?
He actually thinks companies can say "hey, let's move all our shit to the US!" and they can snap their fingers and they're instantly here. Like they don't have to buy land, build factories, setup supply chains and work out logistics that would take a long time to do. Fucking moron.
Dumbass didn't learn from the Foxconn shit in Wisconsin lol
Failed law school? He failed elementary school
Walking advertisement for Wharton.
That's not true. You'll get terrified to hell and back by Canada and other reasonable countries
If companies move to the UK there's/actually/ not tarrifs.
This is his idea of a school in the first place.
wow. he's not orange in the photo in the top of that article!
Imagine if this was the "leader" of a third world country.
