You have a very common ability to see as far as the end of your nose.
A bigger picture escapes you constantly. Such is a selfish, small, narcissist.

You go have a wonderful life. That's the most important thing. Even if pretending.

What "Bigger Picture", Coozie?

Your fond hopes?

Your faith in Grifty?

You didn't even know why he was putting the tariffs on....

Common knowledge for everyone except you apparently.

Prior to President Trump’s second term as president how many countries/territories imposed tariffs against US goods?   

The survey says...197. Yes, 197 countries/territories including every European country, Canada, Mexico – Zimbabwe – you name it. In fact, literally if you name a country – you'll be right. How come.

Here’s the next trivia question for you... How many countries are there in the world? The answer: 195. Yes, effectively every country in the world plus additional territories impose tariffs against US goods. 

  Do you care to fancy a guess as to where the US ranks in terms of the use of tariffs – even now? 153. As in 153 countries/territories charge higher tariffs than the United States does. At an average of 1.5% - the US tariff rate remains one of the lowest in the world. The median tariff rate worldwide is currently 2.6%, or a rate that’s 73% higher than what the United States has imposed.

That common knowledge is what **** him up BIGLY.

Guess we could go back to having other countries screw us over by THEIR tariffs. People are so used to the status quo and can't see into the future.

Now that we've put numbers to this "screwing"....

I notice that you, once again, eschewed the media which convinced you we were being screwed, in favor of going to AI.

The world's trading system has evolved over decades, and there are mechanisms for resolving disputes.

Only two conditions can possibly apply

Either every US Trade representative since 1950 has been a gormless dupe


or

Grifty has no idea what he is yapping about.


I know which way I'm leaning.....

But in THIS particular case, we are "winning" by the simpleminded calculus of MAGA.....so why?

Answering that question will tell you a great deal about the integrity of this policy.

Everyone's waiting to hear from you on other threads.....are they too toxic for you to handle or is your silence really violence and you're torturing the neighborhood cat or something?

So has every US president in the post WW2 period.

But if your so smart, when will you tell me why we need to do this to a country with which we enjoy a surplus?

I've already told you, Brazil needs a little behavior modification.

The entire point of the thread is to get one of you **** clowns to tell me...

But the best you sheep can come up with is

"This will make things better."

"Brazil need skulin'!"


Why must Americans pay to get his buddy off the hook?

That's a perfectly reasonable question, and not a single cretin will entertain it.

“Let Tina Peters out of jail, RIGHT NOW. She did nothing wrong, except catching the Democrats cheat in the Election. She is an old woman, and very sick. If she is not released, I am going to take harsh measures!!!” Trump wrote on social media. 

It is unclear what action Trump could take. Because Peters was convicted in a state court, he has no clemency power in her case.


  In May, Trump said he had ordered the U.S. Justice Department “to take all necessary action to help secure the release” of Peters

90% of our avocados are imported, stupid. There are no "Americvan" to buy.

The 10% grown in California are mostly converted to high quality avocado oil.

Literally 99% of America';s coffee is imported. The 1% that is domestic is high quality, expensive, and hard to find. It goes fast.

"Buy American" doesn't apply, you geegawing ****. Try to think.

Those are the tariffs I was yowling for back when you queers were still defending globalism with other men's talking points and calling me a comnist.

Bottom line....

I DON'T HAVE TO BUY THE PRODUCTS UNLESS I WANT TO!! I could give 2 crappers about avocados. I do buy coffee. So what if the price has gone up. I went up MUCH MORE under your boy ByeDUMB and his inflation from hell.

Which means, there is NO 'tax' as you call it, PAID TO ANYONE when I buy American!!

That's the reason for the tariffs. Besides, I only here LWMJs whining about tariffs. So take that for what it's worth.

Those new jobs are not going to happen overnight.

Just stop. You don't think the world has enough ****, that YOU gotta generate it?

The tariffs under discussion are not going to produce jobs. Period. Just give the **** a break -stop with the pretense that the REAL problem is that I'm too impatient to let those coffee tariffs yield factory jobs. Derp.

No one is going to suddenly grow the other 99% of our coffee on US soil - and there aren't any coffee factories. So please - no more silly ****.

Every nation has a duty to use tariffs to protect critical industries. Coffee isn't one.

If the USA government has not been doing it's duty, learn how to **** vote. Don't blame other countries and victim-pose like a valley girl.

Put some roasted red pepper oil on that hummus, yum. Pine nuts are great also. Of course those two items are pretty spendy.

Marketside hot honey hummus is cheap, delicious, and scores high on YUKA. It can't be beat - **** guacamole.

I'm no expert but you accuse as though you know something simple that I should know.

Do you believe in a Higher Power?
