As a direct result of all the chaos and nonsense in DC, in the time since the election (4 months), my retirement account is down almost 1% after being up 20% in the full year prior. We are NOT winning.
Votes working yet, Trumpers?
Of course…wine tariffs are targeted revenge on “wine sipping Libs”. Everyone knows MAGA folks drink Miller Lite and bourbon. 🙂
Since Musk is the buying Trump’s wine, why would he care what it costs?
It’s like the world is having deal with a six year old child.
I don’t know what is going to finally trigger it, but I am predicting mass protests this spring and summer that will make BLM look pettey.
If that happens, I wonder if congressional Republicans will finally do something? They are so far sitting back and cheering on an incredible amount of destruction and misery — at some point it may end up backfiring on the party.
It will likely start with the VA and Social Security not having enough people to process payments or to book appointments. Maybe there will even be golf-cart parade protests in The Villages in Florida, the epicenter of MAGAworld.
Nothing riles people up like taking away the old age and disability benefits they have earned and paid for with hard work, blood, sweat, and tears (and in the case of vets, many also paid in limbs, vision, hearing, and lungs).
You do realize that the EU has always had tariffs on American goods? Im ex navy and was stationed in Spain and Italy and never seen an American car driven there. The only thing I saw was a McDonald’s and thats not saying much cause I despise fast-food
The point is we have never been treated fair when it comes to trade but the average American has become costume to how things has always been. Now that Trump is making it public, most donkey party liberals want to make the president look like the bad guy because he wants a fair playing field for American products. Might as well take the United out of our title and just call it Americon cause we’ve been conned for years to think things are normal.
You didn’t see US manufactured cars in Europe? Duh??? They have Mercedes, VW, Porsche, BMW, Citroen, Fiat, and US car companies owning labels like Opel. Why would you take on the cost of importing large US made cars? They make similar and better right there…
We bought, and still buy, their cars. And Japanese. Historically better designed, better engineered, better made, than US cars.
You just proved my point. They can sell their vehicles here but American products aren’t sold there. Even when American products are sold there its hit with tariffs. Yet European, Japanese, South Korean cars have full range to America’s market. Tell me how thats fair let alone makes logic business sense? America doesn’t make large car’s anymore. Yes there’s mid and full size SUV’S and trucks but there’s just as many variety of makes and models of cars as European counterparts. Your point of better design, better engineered doesn’t justify tariffs on American car companies and NONE on foreign manufacturers.
Mercedes, BMW are trash. I owned two BMW’S. 750iL and a X7. The & series are notorious for transmission issues and the BMW suv’s have engine issues. Anyone who’s ever owned a Mercedes or BMW will tell you to never by pre owned and even brand new ones constantly stay in the shop with manufacturer recalls. Over exaggerated, overly engineered sensitive product and over priced.
