I'm answering YOU, retard. You're the one harping on it, incorrectly insisting that India is no longer buying Russian oil when in fact it has doubled down.

And the whole point of Trump's increasing of the tariffs on India IS TO HURT THEIR ECONOMY!  They will never sit still for it - they will find other trading partners. They are already doing so. How could you possibly be so dumb that you don't understand that? 

Their economy is DEFINITELY going to feel some serious pain from Trump's tariffs. They count on US markets for 20% of their foreign trade. They will likely lose about half of that, due to the increased prices of goods from India when AMERICAN CONSUMERS have to pay more for their goods.

Trump is punishing AMERICAN CONSUMERS to hurt India - not to bring back jobs, no no no - but to hurt India. And it isn't about buying Russian oil. That oil is GOING TO BE BOUGHT. The world runs on it - only an idiot with no experience in business could fail to grasp that. 

Sorry, but you cannot even tell a hybrid from an EV. You don't even understand how tariffs work. You're an idiot. Idiots do not run businesses.

Do you deny that India first claimed that they would stop buying Russian oil, and then reconsidered?
Need proof of that fact shoved up your dumb ***?

So explain this idiotic theory of yours, ****!
If AMERICANS are paying the higher Trump tariff, or if India could find new trade partners to make up that US volume, THEN WHY WOULD INDIA's economy suffer at all?
The fact that you're too ignorant to grasp is that Americans WILL NOT BUY higher priced items coming from India as we have multiple options for our drugs, textiles, and jewelry, which are the 3 items imported from India with the largest volume sold to the US.  And when their products are not selling and the US importers stop buying them from India, you WILL see them capitulate and beg to renegotiate with Trump and stop those Russian oil purchases, DESPITE what an economic moron like you believes will happen!

Pharma majors expand US manufacturing amid tariff pressures
9/16/25

Major pharmaceutical companies – including Eli Lilly, Pfizer and Merck - are ramping up manufacturing investments in the US to navigate the evolving trade tariffs and capitalize on domestic tax incentives. Adam Bradbury, pharma analyst at GlobalData, noted: “Eli Lilly plans to invest at least $27 billion in 4 new US manufacturing sites, focusing on active pharmaceutical ingredients and injectables. Lilly’s CEO has commented that tax cuts passed during Trump’s first term were ‘foundational’ to these domestic investments. Pfizer is also considering relocating overseas manufacturing to US facilities, while Merck recently opened a $1 billion plant in NC to boost production of its HPV vaccine, Gardasil.”

That covers our pharmaceutical needs quite well, no?  And it destroys your idiotic argument that Trump's tariffs WON'T bring tens of thousands of jobs to this country as major corporations listed above are spending TENS OF BILLIONS to relocate within the US!

How about our import of textiles?  
Well, since China, Bangladesh, and Viet Nam export the largest volume of textiles to this country, why do we need to pay higher prices for India's textiles?

Do you think we'll run out of jewelry because we stop buying it from India, douchebag?
The US already makes the most jewelry bought by Americans, and there are over a dozen other countries that we import jewelry from so why would we pay a higher price for India's?

I've already proven to you specifically that I've been a business owner, AND YOU ACCEPTED THAT FACT after losing the challenge and now you want to lie about it all over again because I continually kick your dumb *** over your ignorance on tariffs and the economy, let alone thinking that a dope like you can declare how an automaker must identify THEIR cars!
