All I know is that people where I live in Switzerland are simply ignoring American goods. Part of his trade shit is bringing US food items into the Swiss market, and everyone is avoiding that crap like the plague. No one wants US beef of chlorine spray chicken. The same is true for other goods as well. We are a tiny country, but like Canada, there is a strong anti American sentiment these days and a de facto boycott of US goods. I suspect many other places are doing the same across the globe. I think we can all learn a bit from Canada’s resolve on this issue.

Imagine going to a prestigious law school then landing a staff position in Washington thinking you have an exciting political career ahead of you only to get sent to Office Depot to pick up science fair poster board and print out’s of Donny’s homework.
WTF is this? The fact is tariffs get passed on to American consumers, and or cause loss of business through counter tariffs. No matter what that…. thing Karoline Levitt says.

There are American goods which other countries can buy regardless of price. But then there are other goods were due to price, countries can afford to do without. Now, even the countries who can afford to take in such goods, Trump is alienating. You don’t sell your stuff by arm twisting or threats, you sell by negotiations and compromise. Trump, who has bankrupted everything he’s ever been in charge of, wouldn’t know this though

I would like to see a serious evaluation of how his trade policies are affecting other countries- without the “Americuh bad” rhetoric. Is this negatively affecting business in other countries? By how much? Is there a net benefit to Americans? What are the real numbers without the knee jerk anti-US bias?

lol. The tariffs are paid by American consumers. So obviously the government is getting more money: it’s an increase in taxes. The really interesting chart would be to see the effect on US exports…
