I think these "danger" narratives are shilling pieces by folks with globalist issues.

Everyone says tariffs are "dangerous" but in the longer run, this should be good for American jobs, and America in general. Farmers will plant foods they can sell for higher prices, makers will add people to make more things and revenues stay in America. Wages are already rising, and should continue to do so in a tight labor market. There may be slightly higher prices on some goods, but this will sort itself out eventually. Since Trump looks like a good bet to win the next election. Companies should be figuring these policies will be in place for the next six years. These policies will continue to spur investment and growth. The rest of the world can suck it, as far as I'm concerned. They have been bleeding us for decades and should learn how to defend themselves and grow their economies without the USA suffering.

Some cite cars as an example of how prices will go up, but new car sales are in the tank after years of price increases. My buddy just bought a new KIA and got $6000 off the price, and max upgrades from the base model. MSRP has no meaning anymore in the new car industry.

Even old Abe Lincoln thought it was better to buy a shirt made in America, by American workers, even if at a slightly higher price, than elsewhere.

Didn't we lose some manufacturing jobs to Mexico when Trump came in office? Those companies thought they could just Shit on Trump and be a part of the grand scheme to shit on Trump.

Well I hope the Mexican tariffs jump to 25% we're done fucking around. Tell them we're going a different way with this thing. And the Globalists aren't invited.

It Feels Good Man. We've got America back and it is Great.

Yeah, people importing stuff from Mexico hate tariffs as much as they hate American workers.
Why do you hate American Workers?

I remember when Algore and Clinton promised we'd get millions of high tech manufacturing jobs selling computers to China.

As a great former President said:
"There's a saying in Tennessee, or maybe Texas.
It's uh.. uh...
Fool me once...
The shame, it's on you.
Fool me twice...
Uh...
You can't get fooled again."

My freedom boner is erect at the thought of these tarrifs.

Trump is playing fucking hardball here, and not just with Mexico! No, this is a shot across the bow of the globalist oligarch FUCKS who own the media and the RINOs and the Democrat Party and benefit from illegal immigration. He’s saying, “keep it up (the obstruction of immigration enforcement and reform, the Lawfare against Homeland Security, and hindering the border wall) , and I’m going to fucking hurt you.”
Hurting Mexico is just incidental. The real losers of this policy are the globalists who have all their products made in Mexico and shipped to the USA duty free.

I really hope the Secret Service is on their game because this is the kind of stuff that drives assassinations. It’s the ballsiest move he’s made yet, and I hope the rich old fucks capitulate!

Trump supporters are Sooooo gullible. This was just to get the terrible comments Trump made about a US war veteran out of the news cycle. He's a fucking petulant child.

That fake news didn’t deserve one news cycle. Let alone another day.

Grassley, who has supported many of Trump’s previous moves on immigration, said it plainly: “This is a misuse of presidential tariff authority and counter to congressional intent.”

MAYBE, but it sure brought the Mexicans to the bargaining table for a talk about it today.

Quigley says

He's a fucking petulant child

yeah, that's how he obtained the highest office in the land with out ever running in an election before. This is how Trump works and wins. His opponents keep underestimating his intelligence and Shumer and the fake news keep spreading the lie he has temper tantrums. That shit is for the brainless masses.

Translation: "China is losing access to IP of US biotech firms".

As founding fathers intended.

What in the hell will the Liberals do then? They need people disconnected, displaced, dejected, unemployed, hopeless and divided.

Jobs and prosperity is the Antimatter for all of those issues.
