Our Orange Hog apparently thinks Trade Wars are good....

Our Orange Hog is apparently egging on a trade war, and blustering that we will easily win it.

Barack Obama saved us from a Second Great Republican Depression.
I have my fingers crossed that President Pussy Grabber does not blunder us into another Great Republican Depression.

Fascinating; so Democrats are no longer for tariffs?

House Democrats Want CO2 Tariffs in Climate Plan

Review all trade agreements; investigate China rights abuses
We will aggressively enforce our trade agreements with a real plan that includes a complete review of all existing agreements; immediate investigation into China’s workers’ rights abuses and currency manipulation; increased funding for efforts to protect workers’ rights and stop child labor abuse; new reforms to protect the innovations of high-tech companies; and vigorous enforcement of U.S. trade laws. We will use all the tools we have to create new opportunities for American workers, farmers, and businesses, and break down barriers in key export markets, like the Japanese auto market and the Chinese high-technology market. We will effectively enforce our trade laws protecting against dumping, illegal subsidies, and import surges that threaten American jobs. New trade agreements must protect internationally recognized workers’ rights and environmental standards as vigorously as they now protect commercial concerns.

Protectionism didn't used to be on the right wing menu. Weird.
Personally I am for some protectionism, unless of course it's fucking dumb
and bites us in the ass. So we are going to screw our allies in trade instead of Russia or China
or Iran. Way to go, Orange Hog.
 
I supported sanders and he was no Einstein. His foreign policy was myopic and withering -tying everything to "coalitions".
However he did address income inequality - which Trump is doing on a macro basis by getting wage increases
instead of tax and redistribute.

But I would have been happy with either Trump or Sanders;and Sanders would have beaten Trump.
Too bad Hilary stole the primary, but she is a vicious megalomaniac warmonger, and that was to be expected

Income inequality is the argument of ignorance.
 
Our number one steel importer is Canada. Same for aluminum. Trump does not know what he is doing. You idiots voted for a reality show host to be president, ans we will all suffer through his blunders. Can't you see ? He has lost over 35 percent of the people he puts ion and the turnover is unbelievable. The ones he picked are terrible. Y&ou guys hate the government, so you must love a government by the wealthy and corporations. that is what we have. Carson, Zinke, Ross, and so many others are out of their field and it shows. I hope you rightys learned a lesson.

Translation: whaaaaaaaaaaaaa. :rofl2:

Correct; it was on the left wing menu. So why is it that now that Trump is doing something Unions wanted, he's attacked by the left? Hint: Starts with an "H" and ends with an "E".

Most protectionism is fucking dumb.

So we are going to screw our allies in trade instead of Russia or China or Iran. Way to go, Orange Hog.

So it's only okay when our allies do it right shit-for-brains? You lefties are dumber than a box of rocks.
 
You supported Bernie right? His rhetoric and policies on trade isn't different than Trump's. From a policy perspective what do you have a problem with if say Bernie had done the same thing?
Luke Skypestalker is just full of shit, the Chinese have been dumping steel all over Europe as well.

Luke Skypestalker has a visceral hatred for Trump, even when he does something that Bernie would have done.

Save it for someone on the left who is against protectionism in principal and not me, loser. It's a negotiation, not a principle to me. If it starts dragging everyone down, it's bad, if it balances some injustice considering g balance of payments, exchange rates, monetary policies of foreign governments and help our wages rise while also keeping consumer prices low,I'm good with it on a bilateral basis. If it's foreseeable a retaliation will cost more than the tax on the outsiders, then it's dumb. Far too complicated for youor the orange pig to understand.

Worse actors than our western allies. Dumbasshog

OK here is your chance to show everybody how clever you are, in your own words, what advantages did TPP give the USA? You do realise that Bernie Saunders was again as well, don't you?

Nothing more laughable than a know-nothing lying leftist dumbfuck thinking he knows anything. Dunce. :rofl2:
 
TPP was excellent for our economy because it took a lot of Asian tariffs off of our products. Our Farmers would have profited mightily from TPP. Now the EU is going to put duties on blue jeans and bourbon so he's going to end up starting a trade War.

The impact will be higher prices for consumers. You will pay more for cars, anything that comes in a can, and anything with aluminum or steel.
 

Ha, so basically, you're saying it's just because it's Trump. While I hate Trump, it's obvious you couldn't give a rat's ass about the actual policy. Simply, you just oppose anything the orange clown does even if it aligns with what your candidate would have done. Can't say I blame you. I hate the idiot myself, but at least I can separate my dislike and my objective discernment.
