Congratulations Trump supporters! You are so dumb you just taxed yourselves. Best wishes, stupid people.
Today – “Liberation Day”
Tomorrow – Liquidation Day or Discount Day depending on your strategy.
Indiana Depends on World Markets
The state’s largest market was Canada. Indiana exported $13.9 billion in goods to Canada in 2024, representing 23 percent of the state’s total goods exports.
Canada was followed by Mexico ($7.5 billion), Italy ($6.5 billion), China ($5.1 billion), and Germany ($4.2 billion).”
Agriculture in Indiana depends on Exports
Indiana is the country’s 7th largest agricultural exporting state, shipping $7.4 billion in domestic agricultural exports abroad in 2022 (latest data available according to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture).
https://ustr.gov/map/state-benefits/in
The Orange TURD is too stupid to realize, that while some cars and trucks ARE ASSEMBLED in the United States, they’s made with IMPORTED PARTS form Mexico, China, etc, so his stupid ass tariffs are STILL going to INCREASE new vehicle prices, which will in turn STOP/SLOW DOWN SALES causing the auto makers to reduce production, and start laying workers off!!! I USED to like the jerk, but now, he’s lost his ever loving mind!!!
It is good to see that there are folks out there willing to see him for what he is after supporting him. Thanks for sharing, Matt
And regardless of how many imported parts are in a USA assembled vehicle, if foreign cars are now 25% more expensive, the domestic producers will eye this an an opportunity to increase their prices 10%-20% since it will still be less of an increase. Also, this moves the needle up on used cars, repair costs since many parts are imported, and insurance rates since repair costs will increase. A very dumb move.
Love it, thanks President Trump! I’ll take the short term pain for the long term gain! Some folks can’t think big picture and will do whatever they can to undermine the goals.
And also thanks for making our country safer and getting rid of the violent illegals, eliminating the wasteful spending and cleaning the swamp!
That’s fine, let’s all feel the pain together. No bailouts for farmers. Give them the tariffs they voted for.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-already-weighing-multi-billion-234029209.html
What’s the long term gain James? Are you going to get a job boxing shoes at a new Nike factory for minimum wage?
Keep in mind you’ll need to spend $300 to buy a pair of shoes you’d make, which used to cost $200, so that Nike can still make a profit while paying you the American minimum wage.
Reality is that you and other Americans won’t take those jobs. Even if everyone did, we don’t have a large enough population to work in the factories we’d need to build to make all the goods we import. So what’s your solution there? You’ll either have to force people to have more babies, or significantly increase immigration.
So again James, what’s the long term gain here? How exactly are you gaining anything at all from these tariffs?
We just “suffered” through 4 years of economic growth, lower unemployment, and massive stock market gains.
Now we will “enjoy” tax increases, a recession, and tremendous value destruction in investment accounts, which is no laughing matter for those of us nearing retirement.
All so 47 can say he forced the Fed to lower interest rates (because he induced a recession).
The last three Republican presidents have left messes for their Democratic counterparts to clean up, which they’ve largely done.
I don’t understand how anyone can vote Republican on economic issues.
That’s an easy one, Joe. The economic issues are all a pretense for the real reasons they vote Republican. Racism, culture wars, and owning the libs.
Thank you, Joe, for pointing out what economic statistics have long shown… Democrats are better for the economy than Republicans. Why people have clung to the myth that Republicans have economic wisdom is beyond me, because the actual numbers indicate otherwise. Republicans tend to destroy, then Democrats clean up the mess. Maybe this disaster will finally blow up the myth.
You mean the long-term loss. Even before these stupid and misguided tariffs, people in foreign countries had begun to actively boycott US goods because of Trump’s antagonistic policies. Most US businesses, including farmers, get a lot of their income from foreign sales. Now, the US is simply encouraging foreign buyers to take their business elsewhere, permanently, Meanwhile, US consumers are left with higher prices and less purchase options.
Also, how is the US any safer? Most crimes are committed by US citizens, and illegal aliens commit violent crimes at a much lower rate then US citizens.
Keep drinking the Kool-Aide, but history has always proven how tariff trade wars turn out as happened with the Smoot-Hawkey Act in the 1930’s. The US lost that trade war badly, and it will lose this one, too.
He may be right—that long-term trade deals have not benefitted our country. But:
Leave it to a man who’s filed business bankruptcy four times (or more) to come up with this hairbrained scheme. His business acumen is zilch. And even if he thought this was a good idea–all at once? Not one single trade war in history has ended well.
His huckster/grift acumen, however, is pretty damned good. If only he can figure out a way to grift our trade deals into more-fav favorable status—all at once.
His entire presidency is turning into a Revenge Parade.
Credit to Adam Kinzinger: “In 2018, during the first Trump administration, a steep tariff was imposed on foreign-made washing machines. The result?
The price of laundry equipment in the U.S. jumped by 34%, far outpacing inflation. Why?
Because when tariffs reduce competition, American manufacturers often raise prices too — and consumers pay the price.
Now, this administration is claiming that tariffs will bring back American manufacturing. But we’ve run that experiment, too. During the first Trump Administration, when tariffs were introduced (at a smaller level than now), the U.S. lost manufacturing jobs and businesses.
Numbers don’t lie..
Steep, across-the-board tariffs with no strategy behind them, don’t strengthen our economy — they destabilize it. They don’t lower prices — they raise them.”
Don’t forget that “tariff” is another word for “tax”.
This is the largest tax increase in US history, and it will be paid by people who buy stuff…which is all of us.
It is also regressive because lower income people spend a greater portion of their income. (Those of us with higher incomes save/invest a lot higher percentage of income.)
WINNING!!! On a global scale now!
He we come world wide recession!
There is a rally at the Indiana State House on Saturday April 5 Noon to 4.
https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/event/766907/
Don’t blame Trump for his actions, blame the people who voted for him. He’s doing exactly what he said he would do and if they claim they didn’t know or expect it (like several Trump voters I know) then maybe we should have a minimum intelligence requirement in order to vote. The pandemic caused supply chain issues and subsequent inflation but was unavoidable. This will do worse and is totally self-inflicted.
George Carlin: “”Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
Meanwhile the GOP is working on legislation to keep tax cuts permanent and lower other taxes that benefit primarily the wealthy adding trillions of $ to the deficit
… when what he should do is let the tax cuts for the wealthy expire (and maybe even increase them) and actually make REAL tax cuts for the folks who will feel the burn of the tariffs.
Then again, Trump said he didn’t care if cars cost more. How much do you think he actually cares he’s just socked his voters with higher prices?
Does anyone read the history of the Smoot-Hawley tariff act and its effects on the worldwide economy.
Anyone depending upon their retirement plan had better think about working a few more years, as mine and everyone else’s 401k and investments just went into the tank this morning.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Headline just now: “Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq plunge, Dow drops 1,500 points as Trump’s tariffs rip through markets worldwide”
You have to be a certain age to have studied anything about the Smoot Hawley tariff as one cause of the Great Depression. Sadly, the President seems to have missed that history class.
More winning in Indiana:
“Stellantis announces temporary layoffs, production pause in response to tariffs
“In a letter to employees, Stellantis Chief Operating Officer for the Americas Antonio Filosa said the automaker is pausing production at assembly plants in Canada and Mexico, and about 900 employees at five U.S. facilities—including three in Kokomo—will be temporarily laid off.”
Vice President Vance is currently reassuring us that there will be long term good results from Trumps tariffs.
Vice President Vance is the same guy that supported the reports that Haitians were eating the cats and dogs of Springfield Ohio. In a subsequent interview he conceded that they may not have been dining on pets but said it was good for the story to be out there because it emphasized the trouble with immigrants.
I anticipate that these good long term results will be as hard to find as Haitians that got fat on pets.
Think I’ll load up on Berkshire Hathaway. If anyone can figure out a way to make profits and investment gains out of this mess, it’s Buffett. He clearly learned a lot more after spending two years at Wharton than 47 did.
