Quote from: Tory Potter on November 13, 2024, 02:33:02 PMI predicted President Trump's victory many months ago. This result owes much to the personal charisma of President Trump. Do not underestimate the power of his personality. My point is that the outcome in 2028 will depend on the satisfaction of the voters and their judgement of the candidates at that time. Unless there is a change in the rules, President Trump will not be a candidate. Thus, enjoy the next 218 weeks and six days. I don not presume to speculate on their mood four years from now.

trump will do such a great job of cleaning up voting to stop the cheating, as well as the economy and govt spending and no wars and exposing the deepstates crimes that whoever trump picks to succeed him will have 8 years easy.

Then the left will have to deal with Don Junior, followed by Baron Trump Etc.

I don't quite understand how the economy is going to perform. I'm not an economist. Today, President Trump announced a 25% tariff on all imports from the US's largest trading partner. If you buy a Ford pick-up that currently costs $60,000, after the tariff is applied, an extra $17,000 will be added. Oil imports will also cost an extra 25%. Granted, the US will build domestic car parts plants, but the added labour costs will still add a significant price increase. Computers and other electronics such as cell phones are made in China. An even larger tariff will be applied against products made in China. Again, the US could build the manufacturing infrastructure to replace them but there again, labour costs will be significant and the time lag between the tariffs being applied and the construction of new factories will mean shortages for years.
The construction will require far more trades people than the US can produce. There is a reason so many consumer products are built in other countries. If they were built in the US, they would be too expensive.
The up shot of my question is how will the new administration prevent surging inflation as a result. I concede that the President-elect has a plan to deal with it but I don't see what it is.
All I ask is for some of you to explain how this will work. I'm just a potter. Enlighten me please.
Happy Thanksgiving.

You're asking for how will this work because you believe the old system did work? Are you forgetting Biden did none of the above and had the worst economy we have had in a long time? Maybe you can answer your own question by asking how can a nation lose jobs to other countries and strengthen itself. Are you underestimating how being energy independent can lead to a healthy economy? Trump proved the more people work here, the less unemployment is HERE, the better the economy became for everyone. Trump had tariffs during his first term, he knew how to use them. Biden torn that economy down and ruined it, are you forgetting that? I ask because I don't remember you asking about Biden's policies when he took office. 

Quote from: Solar on November 13, 2024, 02:57:49 PMHis win had absolutely nothing to do with personality, and everything to do with his Presidency and how the commie left stole it.
Remember, Trump had 4 years of Americas greatest economy in our history. How did that equate with how the left attacked his character endlessly throughout his term?
I guess you'd have to live here to understand it.

Fuck Turdeau, the Bastard child of Castro. Oh, and it looks like Turdeau is in serious trouble with the electorate, they like Trump more than their own leadership.

You fail at understanding the art of negotiations. These tariff numbers aren't set in stone, but they are a starting point to get what Trump wants.
Turn off the media, they're still lying to you, they take a crumb of information and blow it out of proportion.

No shit. Worse, you're in Canada, so you're REALLY clueless about this topic.

QuoteToday, President Trump announced a 25% tariff on all imports from the US's largest trading partner.

What was the condition for him not doing that?

QuoteIf you buy a Ford pick-up that currently costs $60,000, after the tariff is applied, an extra $17,000 will be added.

Oh dear. I guess we'll have to move manufacturing back here. (also, look up this little deal called USMCA)

QuoteOil imports will also cost an extra 25%.

Sorry...

I had to stop laughing to type this reply.  No, honey, we are an oil production powerhouse, and were the number one exporter in the world during Trump.  Lord you are adorable.

QuoteGranted, the US will build domestic car parts plants, but the added labour costs will still add a significant price increase.

Gosh, I guess we have to make a more favorable business environment and reduce regulations.  Also, what happens to the strength of the dollar as DOGE bears fruit and production moves back?

QuoteComputers and other electronics such as cell phones are made in China. An even larger tariff will be applied against products made in China. Again, the US could build the manufacturing infrastructure to replace them but there again, labour costs will be significant and the time lag between the tariffs being applied and the construction of new factories will mean shortages for years.

This industry started moving out of China during Trump's term.

QuoteThe construction will require far more trades people than the US can produce.

Gosh, I guess we'll have to change the education system and how schools teach trade skills.

QuoteThere is a reason so many consumer products are built in other countries. If they were built in the US, they would be too expensive.

I guess we should give up and just be dependent on China forever. Also, we should just ignore human nature and economics and assume our ingenuity and innovation can't improve.

Let's see... how did he do it in his first term? Inflation was at 1.4% when he left office.
