Trump does not seem to understand how tariffs work. I admit that before Trump brought them up, I had less understanding.

He keeps saying foreign countries will have to pay them. He cannot make a foreign country do that.

Guess who pays the tariffs?

It is widely accepted by economists that the Smoot Hawley Tariff act prolonged the Great Depression in the 1930's.  After it was enacted, everyone quickly realized the tariffs were having a negative impact on the recovery and everybody Smoot Hawley was voted out in the next election cycle.

It is difficult to understand how tariffs work. I was fearful we would lose our export. Well it turns out our Canadian partner was exporting more to the US than we were exporting to Canada.  A realignment is in place and contractors are specifically requesting that equipment destined for delivery in the US is built in the US to avoid a 20% tariff on the labor gozinta.. So we will get more work to build for the 400 million customers in the US.  There is some danger we will miss out on opportunity to market to the other 7.7 Billion customers on the planet. 90% of everything in our skids is foreign sourced, 20% or more on all of it could price us out of the global arena.

Trump says he is going to put tariffs on Russia to end the War in Ukraine.

Russia is sanctioned and sells less than 3 Billiion dollars in products to the US. Putin might even pay the tariff just to be able to do business with the US again.

Tariffs on Russia do nothing. And we don't need to import food from Ukraine.

Trump does not understand the big picture very well. Putin will manipulate Trump expertly.  Putin is very happy we elected stupid.

How do taxes vs tariffs work?
Taxes are paid by citizens honoring ideas cradle to grave.

Tariffs are paid by non citizens to do business from other countries than the citizens of the country business is being done in.

The government(leaderships) gets paid twice, citizens pay the cost for both revenues and if they object or explain how it is corrupt, they get treated by rule of law as insubordinate, traitors, blasphemy against the greater good intentions of building better tomorrows than genetics sustains population so far.

Most people saving humanity are highly educated idiots that don't navigate space with their own brain and you are a perfected example.
Now I like the idea of tariffs without the taxes on citizenship native to the geographical area of a country. Fair trade since nothing is free. Taxed for doing business suppying citizens with the baiscs of life in seasonal temperate zones can be supplied globally by opposing temperate zones on the same day.

Humans have to design society to flow like actual evolving instead of working against it daily.

Cannot defeat nor conquer time physically or philosophically when living is eternally separated daily here so far.

Please provide any enlightenment you may have on how tariffs and trade wars will impact people.  The enterprise I work for is global  with 100K employees.  Prior to merger we made equipment for several foreign countries. We even made wood fired ice machines for Eskimos.  

My gut tells me that anyone outside of the US will seek to have equipment built outside of the US.  90% of what goes into our equipment is foreign sourced.  Decades of bipartisan free trade agreements has moved almost all manufacturing of key components out of the US. Fixing it is going to leave a mark and the impacts of a compressed time cycle to steer correction could have adverse consequences.

What I don't get is compounding the tax/tariff with mass deportation of the people we need to build factories has the appearance of extreme challenges. That and abandoning a national education strategy that admittedly has made America extremely stupid with poor bipartisan choices has made America so effing stupid that all toothless red hats want to do is jerk of with sex dolls wearing VR headsets and bet on the Cryptopoacalypse. 

We are so stupid we elected stupid.  We are headed to a very bad place. Hopefully we can steer the boat back on a better course in 2026.  We are headed for the rocks and the boat could get split in half and sink,

Please provide information on how you "think" you are more intelligent than people way beyond your intellect range.

You're just an ignorant PEDO=Prog on the internet pretending you are intelligent....I've seen this movie a 1000 times before....you are just a dickhead with a smart mouth....because you hide behind a screen

Each rotation of the planet is still the moment here every ancestor is changing form since shaped their original fertilized cell in series parallel proportions so far.
Tariffs are fees to do business in this country. Taxes are imposed on people paying to believe now isn't eternity for God and by country defended until extinction of every ancestral lineage native to this atmosphere here this rotation and every next been working this way for 7,000 years.
