I don't give out that kind of information here.
And yes, you're one of the dumbest cretins here, proven by the facts that you originally intended to vote for a completely demented and corrupt Biden for president, and when he was thrown overboard by the DNC, you shrugged your shoulders over having your primary vote ignored and you immediately did as you were told like a good little sheep and switched your intention to vote for Kamala, despite the fact that she refuses to answer questions, has changed her opinion on many important policies, was instrumental in failing to close the border and then lie to the country, telling them the border was secure. She lied about Biden being completely competent to the country, lied about her plan to outlaw fracking, her intention to seize guns, and refuses to close the border unless she gets a new, unnecessary law from Congress. She plans to raise trillions in new taxes, pack the Supreme Court with more liberal justices, abolish the Senate filibuster, and tax unrealized capital gains. give free healthcare to 20 million illegals, including free transgender surgeries even for convicted felons in prison, eliminate private health insurance,
abolish ICE, supports the idiotic 92 trillion dollar "green new deal" that she co-sponsored, defund the police, pay reparations to blacks, and is despised by so much of her own staff that 92% of them have quit her campaign!
So trust me, cretin! YOU are easily one of the dumbest people here!

Trump's tariffs have cost the Chinese BILLIONS in lost sales and inflicted huge new costs on them to relocate businesses outside of China that they wouldn't have needed if not for Trump's tariffs.
So go ahead and laugh till your dick falls off, asshole!
Can you think of any other reason why China desperately wants Kameltoe to win?
Yes, in general, tariffs simply steer consumers otherwhere. In the case of Apple or Toyota - two examples of brands with fanatical customer loyalty (though Toyota will never foreseeably be threatened with tariffs) - the cost would be absorbed at least in large part and likely in toto by the customer.LowIQTrash » 24 Sep 2024, 12:14 pm » wrote: ↑ Bad takes from people on both sides.
Tax incidence (burden) falls on the side that is more inelastic.
If consumers desperately want Apple products (which they do, you would be hard pressed to find a more fanatical herd), and Trump passes a tariff on Apple products made outside the USA, the consumer would bear the majority of the burden.
For something like GE appliances vs Samsung or Whirlpool appliances, I assume consumers have more elasticity / are brand agnostic, so it either ends up being a wash (both sides share the tax burden) or the company that manufactures overseas will have to absorb the majority of higher costs.
There is no “tariffs good” or “tariffs bad.”
@Cannonpointer
You're the idiot who doesn't think there have been ANY costs that China has been hit with for Trump's tariffs, when their sales to the US has already dropped by tens of billions in lost sales and they're now forced to build new facilities in other countries which will STILL have to deal with Trump's tariffs, you ignorant slob! That's the kind of ignorance your left with after slavishly swallowing the lies they tell you on CNN!maineman » 24 Sep 2024, 12:06 pm » wrote: ↑ I wonder about the huge costs Ford and GM were inflicted with when they moved lots of their manufacturing to Mexico![]()

Like I said, for a moron who doesn't even know how a tariff works, you sure spew a lot of word salad about the subject!

Why don't you go tell China that their loss of BILLIONS isn't related to Trump's tariffs and have THEM laugh in your stupid face instead of just me?
Ford and GM STILL have plenty of plants in the US, and can retool any of them at any time for the cars they need. What's of far greater concern to every US auto manufacturer are the ridiculous mandates for them to build electric cars THAT NOBODY IS BUYING, despite the huge incentives that Biden the idiot and Kamaltoe the whore force us taxpayer to pay! Your idiots have signed an executive order forcing half of all new cars built to be electric in just over 5 years, DESPITE THE FACT THAT OUR ELECTRIC GRID CAN'T HANDLE IT!
Those of us with a brain just chuckle and shake our heads at idiots like you who actually believe in idiots like your VP whore!

I have never said that China did not have any costs. I simply said that they didn't pay the tariffs like you have repeatedly claimed; the American consumer did.

Where do you get that **** ego?!??!
Now you admit that Trump's tariffs are costing China BILLIONS in lost sales?
Tell me how it's going to cost Americans anything if they change their buying habits and buy from a cheaper source that DOESN'T have the Trump tariff attached to it?
Do you really think most American consumers are as dumb as you to not alter their spending choices when they see the products from China are more expensive?
Use your head, you dunce!

Donald Trump has squandered his inheritance. If he had invested what Fred gave him in an S&P indexed fund, and just played golf all his life, he'd be wealthier than he is today.
I already explained to you how prices for everything will go up when punitive tariffs are imposed on imports from one country.
If you had taking Marketing 101, you'd understand it, but your associates degree in AC&R obviously didn't have that as part of the core curriculum.
Compared to Trump's billions, yes, you're a pauper.maineman » 24 Sep 2024, 2:00 pm » wrote: ↑ A pauper like me? what makes you think I am a pauper?

Are you going to try to make the claim that even after DOZENS of investigations into Trump's tax returns and a left-wing press that's bent over backwards looking for any scrap of evidence that Trump committed a crime, yet you STILL believe something as obvious as tax fraud would have escaped all those investigators?
Looks like you really ARE as dumb as I've stated! You just keep right on proving it day after day!
The fact is that Fred Trump gave additional funding to Donald AS LOANS, and ALL were repaid in full or he would have been sitting in jail right now for tax evasion and fraud.
You know NOTHING about Trump's finances!
Embrace that ignorance!
