Trump, the purported author of "The Art of the Deal" and a self-proclaimed business mastermind...

Trump, the purported author of "The Art of the Deal" and a self-proclaimed business mastermind, has decided to levy ~$17 billion worth of tariffs on Canada, $3 billion on the EU, $4 billion on Mexico and $50 billion on China.

In response, Canada, the EU, Mexico and China will impose retaliatory tariffs in equivalent amounts, so we end up with:

* EU: $3 billion
* Mexico: $4 billion
* Canada: $17 billion
* China: $50 billion
* USA: $74 billion

You'd think a business mastermind would have a grasp on basic math.

So why specifically should I be upset about this?

blimbald blimpth is keeping business in America. LITERALLY HITLER

Good. Fuck them and they can suck our ass. Unhindered and left alone our products will shine above the rest like the days before. No more international kikery.

Tariff them more then. It is inevitable that we will win a trade war against the world. We just have that much bulk in our economy.
At the end of the day, it is the US that holds all the cards.

Holy shit i thought burgers being dumb was just a meme...

Berry compliance
>but it was free trade!
No it wasn’t.. Buy USA.

Yeah, I'm super dumb.
So...can I get an answer to the question?

At the end is a plan made between all these governments to make their people to pay more taxes.

all of that skim was just going to the multinationals to exploit poor labor markets and drive unemployment up in the U.S.

People want to fucking work for a fair living. Free trade results in unemployment in rich countries and borderline slave labor in the third world.

>the purported author of "The Art of the Deal

Nobody, not even Trump, claims that he wrote it, or even read it. When he was shown the proofs all he asked was for his name to be larger on the cover.

so now it's equal, instead of US getting 100% shaft?
and what's the problem?

Tariffs are bad
Trump simultaneously placed tariffs on trade between the US and 4 other countries
Those countries subsequently placed equivalent tariffs on the US

This interaction has left the US with more tariffs than any other player by nearly 50%

You people are so far behind Trump that you can't even see his dust anymore.

>Tariffs are bad
Under every circumstance? Please explain.

tariffs are bad, for you.

America is the new British Empire. Germany and France are stagnating because of immigration and stretching of social programs, Canada was taking advantage of our stupid generosity on NAFTA, and China can float and sputter and mudsuck us all they want, but they are full of more shit than the US. America is the new hegemony. BTFO.

This seems lost on so many people. It’s so simple even normies should be able to understand it though.

and those countries benefit from protection by the US military, while paying little to nothing for the service. let them fight their own wars; physical, financial, political

(((They))) don't want the public to conciously realize this

It’s not bad. People need to quit following the (((free trade))) meme.

You'd think somebody with a gadsden flag would be against redistribution of wealth. Oh wait, they are, you're just an idiot shilling for socialist trade.

stupid leaf, YOU pay those tariffs because you have no resources.
We won't, because we have our own resources.

Same people argue that doing something differently is doing it the same way.

They're too stupid to know what they believe; they only half-know what they're told.

i'm just glad i have a cushy software job. should be nice and cozy watching trumpcucks flounder around like the cockroaches they are while us rich yankees continue to get richer despite trumps actions. delicious.

We do not have the infrastructure to acquire the material though. It will take at least a decade for it to be developed, meanwhile people effected by those tariffs will soon be out of a job and have to wait years to get back on their feet, this is what happen with bush's tariffs. I do not see the next president continuing the tariffs which means all this did is hurt americans.

We are the ones retaliating. You had tariffs for a long time.

Topkek, prices for production will just go up. You must be retarded if you really think multinationals won't move their business elsewhere for cheap labor.

You don't, you need the EU.

>a country that is literally irrelevant thinks they decide what words mean

only 50% of your pathetic country speaks english natively compared to 80% of americans, fuck off leaf subhuman

And now those tariffs got raised, we aren't retaliating, we are cutting our own god damn hand off.

>cheap labor

Which is balanced out by tariffs, making movement out of the country pointless. Next.

>trying to suggest that being bilingual is a bad thing

you are truly a worthless faggot who deserves the rope. in either case, you've been proven wrong in an embarrassing way kiddo. just stop talking. no wonder you trumpcucks are unemployable

The US has a trade deficit with those countries you dumb fuck, we can increase tariffs more than them and benefit. Kill yourself.

So what, do Americans just drop half the word because its too much work to say the whole thing?

Is is consistent thing? Do you say exhausted? accosted? defrosted? holocausted?

>Let's analyze everything at the surface level and let that be that.
>Let's assume tariffs don't influence anything beyond this figure that is declared

Cool

>redd*t thinks speaking french is a good thing in a country with over 250 million english speakers in a world with 3 billion english speakers

Nice projecting there, I think the man who majored in foreign language (((You))) are the unemployable one here fucko

>do people using different dialects use words differently?

I don't know faggot, why don't you try saying about without pronouncing it the same way you do boot

Keep raising the tariffs until we break those deals. Then renegotiate these deals with our old trading partners in our favor, or work with other countries who are willing to play ball. This leftist nonsense that the US has to remain on the bad end of these trade deals is beyond stupid.

>You'd think a business mastermind would have a grasp on basic math.
It's worse than that. Corporations don't pay taxes. They just pass the cost on to you.

I'm honestly curious, America-bro

When it's a hot day out do you say "I'm feeling exhaust today"?

Imagine being this retarded. You know jack shit about how tariffs work and act like an expert, how far up your own ass are you? How about you go learn what a trade deficit is before your dumb mongrel brain act's like it knows shit? We made 2.2 trillion dollars, throwing all that away for 500 billion. Is the epitome of stupid.

Ok, please tell me you're just trolling. Did you even read OP's post? Every single country that Trump had sanctioned with tariffs, responded to the US with retaliatory tariffs on American products. That means the US doen't make profit on the tariffs they have implemented because they stagnate or even lose money on the counter tariffs from the targeted countries. Nothing here is "balanced out" you doof.

>How about you go learn what a trade deficit is before your dumb mongrel brain act's like it knows shit?
Trade deficits aren't inherently bad. We tend to pay them in dollars, so the only thing that they can do with that money is invest it in our government.

Wow that is one of the dumbest posts i have ever read, The US does not have the power to renegotiate those deals or we wouldn't ever have been in this mess you dumb ass. Spiting the whole world only makes them work together against us

You shouldn't. The fact that meme countries are so mad about this means we're doing something right.

>we are cutting our own god damn hand off.
What hand? The amount of stuff we've been selling compared the amount of burdens our citizens have been taking on just to support our industries has been shit.
Almost everything that we buy that isn't food is imported from a country that hates us. Everything is fucking imported for super cheap meaning our own industries have to cut costs and milk us even harder. We could be buying shit from each other in a fair and voluntary society, but we aren't.
As far as I'm concerned, all tariffs are a good thing, whether they be against our products or against rival country's products. Our current economy is a zombie that needs to be put down so something better can rise in it's place.
As long as we maintain the white man's ways and attitudes, and don't decent into savagery like some latin or african shithole, we'll survive.

OK, if you are serious.
We would say:
What does that cost?
That costs a dollar
good deal it cost 2 dollars before (not costed)

as a britbong i wud like to tell u all that there is nothing wrong with "costed"

Jow Forums can't see past skin color and Jewry.
They stumble around this echo-chamber blind, patting each other on the back and affirming each other like Dothraki handmaidens. The shit's embarrassing!
