Trump to world companies: Make products in US or face tariff


I am a european Trump supporter..... but this is bullshit and so dumb.

so non US companies should move their production to the US or face tariffs?

This is a joke right?
you can't threaten people to move their business or company to the US

this will backfire on US consumers in a major way.
They will just get hit with counter tariffs..... is DT stupid or what?

DT thinks he can bully foreigners like this?...... no one will be wanting to do business with America, that will be the end result.

he is becoming a blowhard now.

What's wrong with wanting products sold in your country to be made in your country?

reply

so should the other countries be saying the same to Trump?

"We buy from American companies..... but now we want the products made here!"

you see how that works? .... Guess DT does not. SMH

reply

Sure, why not.

If your people can make it, make it.

If you can't, trade.

The world needs America more than America needs the world. This is just a fact.

Which policies of Trumps do you like most?

You claim to have been a supporter of Trump. Ok. What are your favorite Trump policies traits? Why did you prefer him over Kamala? Which Kamala policies do you think would be better for the US?

"The world needs America more than America needs the world. This is just a fact"

100% not a fact..... because the US imports more than it exports, and that is a fact!

NATO's 31 other countries are more powerful than the US, both military wise and economic, that is a fact as well.

And the US have many enemies.... they would not survive alone.

Good Trump policies: getting rid of illegal migrants, getting rid of DEI.
Good Kamala polices: working together with NATO and EU allies.... otherwise none, she and Joe were garbage.

It's not just counter tariffs.
It drives up consumer prices in the US because it raises prices for imports, removes tight competition for American producers and allows them to jack up prices.

reply

right, that as well.........

and the US imports more goods than it exports. so a trade war will hurt the US even more than the other countries.

I thought DT would stop the ukraine russia war.
not start a tariff war with the allies of the united states.... i do not fucking understand this!

reply

What is there not to understand?
Did you ever look up the definition of right wing politics? Politics in favor of the rich?
The rich own the companies producing stuff, they want to pay as little wages and charge as high prices as they can get away with, where eliminating cheaper competition through tariffs is one thing, aside of tax breaks and other measures, how right wing politics helps the rich in getting ever richer, while the middle class pays the bill.

Nike have all their clothing and shoes made in vietnam or china........ does trump want them to made in the US?

reply

Oh no, we'll be taking jobs away from slaves.

Tell me how Vietnam can make a shirt for five dollars without slavery of some kind being involved.

"DT stupid or what"
