Dems were wrong about 'Tariffmaggedon'

[QP!]

Fuck off shitstain. You're just another whining little bitch, butthurt that Trump and the Make America Great Again movement has proven that we are superior to you in every way.

Do you call Trump supporters maggots to their face? Hell no you don't, your coward punk ass would be scared shitless to even try. You'd get the bitchslapping that you need.

Magat, please. I would stuff your red hat up your ass and make you beg for mercy.

 

[MAGA]

Trump tariffs are a tax on the American citizens

WRONG. I've already explained how they aren't.

and you admit that in your last sentences.

LIE.

When you look sector by sector you will the metrics for the expected margins with or without tariffs being applied and that is what successful companies operating in the sectors will target to get based on the sale of their product to American's.

So if the sector metrics say companies in Sector Y need to earn X and the cost of manufacture in CHina goes up, the companies raise the prices to cover that. If shipping costs across the sector go up, the companies raise prices to cover that. Etc, etc, etc, to ANY AND ALL COSTS that would impact the target margins.

Tariffs are no different. COmpanies in a segment do not just suddenly say 'we will accept 15% or more reduction in our margins' when they have the power to pass it on to the customers who have no choice when the impact is sector wide, such as all shipping costs going up, or all manufacturing costs in CHina going up, or all tariffs applied equally do.

You are such a moron, and you still have absolutely NO clue what tariffs actually are or how they are actually applied. First off, it's not necessarily true that an importing company takes the hit for the entirety of the tariff (which you claim that they then pass onto the consumer), but for simplicity's sake, let's just assume that they do take the hit for the entirety of the tariff and let's also assume that they ARE the retailer (because that's not necessarily true either).

An importing company paying a 15% tariff to the US Government does NOT reduce a company's profits by 15%. TARIFFS ARE NOT APPLIED TO RETAIL PRICES. Payment of such tariffs would actually only reduce a company's profits by a sliver of said 15%. Here's why:

0% TARIFF: Importing company imports 100 widgets at $5 per widget = $500.00 cost of importing widgets
15% TARIFF: Importing company imports 100 widgets at $5.75 per widget = $575.00 cost of importing widgets

Importing company RETAILS and sells those 100 widgets [This particular price point maximizes profit] at $25 per widget = $2,500.00 profit
Importing company RETAILS and sells only 97 of those 100 widgets [lost some customers due to higher prices] at $25.75 per widget (to "cover tariff cost") = $2,497.75 profit

0% TARIFF = $2,000 profit less import cost.
15% TARIFF = $1,925 profit less import cost.
15% TARIFF (w/ raising retail price to "cover tariff cost") = $1,922.75 profit less import cost.

This company will thus eat the tariff in order to maximize its profit ($1,925 instead of $1,922.75)

My company

I don't believe you.

Magat, please. I would stuff your red hat up your ass and make you beg for mercy.

You would have to get Trumps dick out of it first.

Oh sorry Trump has is dick in his mouth go a head and shove his hat up his ass.

I don't believe you.

My own company imports about 80% of our goods from all around the world, so i know first hand what you do not and that is it is our company that gets the tariff bill and no one else.

We then pass that on to our consumers.

So no matter what Fox and Magat media keeps telling you and the lies you believe, you are wrong, ... and stupid.

We have one item i will use as an example. It is a low margin but high volume item for us.

- manufactured cost we pay is $60
- sales/marketing/customer acquisition costs are $12 per unit
- overhead costs of ~$3
- our sale price is $99
- profit is ~$24

- Tariff additional cost at 30% on the $60 puts it at $78 and would reduce our profit to $6 as WE PAY IT.

We have already raised the price of that item by $18 to our customers and we will keep it there until we are certain of where Taco Trump ends up as we are not just giving up our margin to be nice to Trump.

Just as companies during covid did not just eat the supply chain increased costs and instead passed those on.

Only the most stupid of the "Poorly Educated" that Trump loves believes him that sectors, out of the goodness of their heart will eat the cost difference.

When China or someone else tells you a good costs $100 and then you add a 15% tariff the US seller just considers it like they bought it from their supplier for $115 and then they mark it up accordingly. They DO NOT say 'oh this is a tariff and we just eat those'. It is simply just another cost passed on to the consumer before adding in the other costs and then making your margin.

 

[Into the Night]

So the Great Loony One is going to give us a lecture on Trumpomics.

He doesn't need. Capitalism work, Blat.

 

[Into the Night]

They haven't been put in place, fucktard.

Tariffs have been in place for decades. Trump's tariffs are already in place as well.

 

[Into the Night]

Trump claimed he had deals with 200 countries.

He basically does.

That is such a terrible lie. There are only 193.

...or 195 (the UN number)...or 206 (the Olympic Committee number...or...

Trump has a staff that will do the homework he is too lazy to do.

Trump arranged the tariff agreements, Sybil.

They will look it up for him. He just says shit and his staff has to find a way to defend his dumb shit. So the DOGE kids gave a list of countries that are on the planet and Trump pretended he had deals with them all. They did that badly. Many of those listed we have never traded with. Some do not do exports at all. One was an island with penguins on it.

Penguins are not a nation, Sybil.

I would have been very offended if Obama did something that badly. Trumpys do not care.

Blatant lie. You tolerate and even encouraged Obama's acts of treason.

TACO

Hungry?

 

[Into the Night]

The Dems are like Chicken Little. The Sky is falling.

No. It's worse. They claim the Sky is going to destroy the Earth.
Don't forget the Church of Global Warming!

 

[Into the Night]

FOX doesn't tell MAGA morons that Trump has continuously chickened out of implementing his most painful tariffs, and he has been backtracking away from his global trade war.

That's because he hasn't, Sybil.

 

[Into the Night]

Trump is also offering amnesty to undocumented agricultural workers, after belatedly realizing he was going to crash America's agricultural production.

Evidence, Sybil?

 

[Into the Night]

The Senate has to approve foreign trade agreements,

No, they don't Sybil. They can DISAPPROVE them, but no action means the agreement is in effect.

and what Trump is crowing about doesn't have any details about implementation and enforcement.

Yes it does, Sybil.

It's not a trade agreement,

It's a trade agreement, Sybil. Word games won't work.

 

[FastLane]

TACO

Tell that to the EU

 

[Into the Night]

There have been a few put on and some of the things that they effect are going up already.

The tariffs are already in place, Tball.

IF he doesn't flip flop again

Trump wears shoes, Tball...not flipflops.

and actually puts his huge tariffs on on Aug first when they work through the supply chain the cost of most everything we buy will be going up.

The tariffs are already in place, Tball.

Yes some exporters and countries will eat SOME of the tariffs

They don't pay any US tariffs, Tball.

but most of them will just raise their prices the percent of the tariffs and another percent or two to pad their bottom line and pass them on to the US consumer.

Exporters in other nations don't pay any US tariffs, Tball.

We will have to see what Trump does then wait for the supply chain to catch up

Meaningless buzzwords ignored.

and that is when the shit will hit the fan.

Meaningless cliche ignored.

And then maybe the MAGA will wake up when it starts to really hit them in their pocket book until then they will keep saying the left is crying the sky is falling.

The left isn't saying the sky is falling. The left is saying the sky will destroy the Earth.

Tariffs Are Working, Author Says

Tariffs Are Working, Author Says | News Radio 1200 WOAI | San Antonio's First News

President Trump's tariffs are working so far, according to one author, who says the president used tariffs in his first term and the cost of living went down

woai.iheart.com

You sometimes hear that President Donald Trump's tariffs are causing inflation, or will cause it, or could cause it, but so far the numbers show that US tariffs are working for the economy.

That's what writer and author of the book, "Reshore: Tariffs Will Bring Our Jobs Home and Revive the American Dream," says.

Spencer Morrison says they're economic tools that will slowly get the United States back to a good place of political and economic independence.

"The tariffs are not inflationary, we saw this in President Trump's first term," he says.

"President Trump proposed pretty significant tariffs. Did the cost of living go up or did it go down? Well, we all know it went down."

It's possible that the people who are convinced that tariffs will hurt the US either don't understand how they work or they have a lack of confidence in the power of US markets.

"One in four foreign companies are eating 100% of the cost of the tariffs, and then most of them are falling somewhere in the middle," he adds.
