Trump is going to win on all the tariff gambits and negotiations with all of these countries, including China, simply because they need the American market much more than we need theirs.
Trump may turn out to be the preeminent president of this century. He is willing to do the tough things.
The US has a terrible imbalance in trade with Europe, Mexico, Canada, and of course China. Much of this is largely due to the fact that these other countries impose severe tariffs on American products, and so these products don’t get sold there.
What Trump is doing by imposing tariffs is to even the trading field so that the US doesn’t have these terrible trade imbalances. In a real sense, that these other countries are using punitive tariffs on American products forces Trump to do what he is doing.
Trump is a businessman, and businessmen want lots of international trade. Given his druthers, I actually think Trump would prefer entirely free trade — no tariffs at all. But what he will not tolerate are these trade imbalances because, in the end, they make the US poorer.
Trump is known as a deal maker. He sees himself in that light. His book is actually titled “Art of the Deal”. Imposing tariffs is his first move in trying to lower or neutralize foreign tariffs against American products. The second move will be the negotiation with each country on setting up equitable or no tariffs.
Trump is doing something novel for recent presidents — doing things that would actually benefit the country.
The ones who paint Trump as another Hitler-like dictator are as culpable of these assassination attempts as the ones who pull the trigger. Gutter politics.
What the woke crowd can’t stand about Trump is that he can be rude and even mean. Above all, they demand their president be polite. Anything less is unacceptable.
How ludicrous.
They threw vindictive and questionable lawsuits at him, the Left-wing press daily grills, distorts, and defames him, and now an assassination attempt grazed him, but Trump keeps chucking along. 99% out there would have thrown in the towel by now — not Trump.
Even if you are a Left-winger who despises Trump, you have to also admire him.
One of the benefits of electing Trump would be ending the Ukraine proxy war promoted by the US and NATO, a war that has virtually destroyed that country and brought back the specter of nuclear war between the US and Russia, which once again is a real possibility.
Trump was a peace president, as shown by his reaction to Iran shooting down an American plane when the State Department demanded retaliation, but Trump said no — didn’t want war with Iran over a single plane. In fact, it appears that Trump, while endorsing having a very strong military, really disparages the US getting involved in any kind of war, for I believe he sees war in general as a negative relative to economic prosperity as well as human life.
First thing Trump would do would be to end all financial and military support for the corrupt regime in Kiev, and he would make it very clear to NATO that the US no longer supported the proxy war, which means that NATO would also back down from it.
The world would breathe a sigh of relief that the nuclear threat would now subside.
Russia could attempt to reestablish amicable relations with Europe again, and Ukraine could begin to heal after the corrupt regime in Kiev is overthrown.
Trump should make Kennedy his vice president choice.
Remember before Trump was elected that the anti-Trump people put out the scare meme, Just think Trump having his finger on the nuclear button? But then when he was elected, he steered very clear of war, despite building up the military.
Now we have Biden actually playing nuclear chicken with the Russians by using Ukraine as the tool.
We were much safer with Trump, in my opinion.
Country will turn back to Trump because of the stagflation and poor leadership from the Dems. Inflation combined with tax hikes across the board are going to sour a lot of Americans on this administration. Welcome back to the Carter years with dependence on foreign oil and huge jumps in the price at the pump. How long will the public tolerate this? Not long, I believe.
