I want to know HOW this is going to bring back Manufacturing.
Reciprocal Tariffs will kill our exports. Trump gutted the infrastructure spending and we don't have infrastructure for huge new manufacturing hubs. We don't have federal education programs that manufacturing companies need.
These Tariffs and stupid policies will KILL manufacturing.

"There's not going to be any pain for American-owned companies and American workers, because their jobs are going to come back home," Leavitt said. ...

And who are these companies going to export to?
I already know several companies sending jobs down to Mexico so they can export to Asia and Europe without reciprocal tariffs affecting them.

Remember, Trump says these islands have tariffs on us.
I want to know HOW.

He puts ketchup on his steak. That should have been a dead giveaway that he cannot be trusted.

Itchy blames Biden for something Trump does.
Typical MAGA.

You ------- libs never met a tax hike you didn't like - well, except when it actually impacts you apparently.

As a Trump supporter, you can't even defend this.
Pathetic.

Why did Trump hit Ukraine with a 10% tariff on all imports to the US, but not Russia?

We all know why.

They hit this island.
But NOT Russia or North Korea.

They are just making up numbers with currency manipulation and trade barriers to justify the tariffs. China doesn't have a 67% tariff on US goods.

They are just making up numbers at this point. China doesn't have a 67% tariffs on the US. They are blaming Currency Manipulation and Trade Barriers with no explanation to justify the tariffs.
As these countries implement reciprocal tariffs, expect US businesses to offshore production so they can sell from non-tariff countries. Why build in the US to sell to China or the EU when you can build in Mexico and avoid tariffs?
And after building in Mexico, why come back when the tariffs end? There is no cost-benefit to moving back.

It's probably because he's undermining profits.

A massive pandemic or disease outbreak would do that.

Welcome to Dr. Strangelove's world with the pDH - where "we just don't know" is good science.

Thank you for proving you don't understand science.

Like many others I believe universities need to be unbiased and apolitical and that universities, not taxpayers, need to have the major stake in their own funding and viability of courses and curricula and they need to teach to the markets.

Unbiased as in "Teach only the stuff I believe in!"
Teach to the market means we end up with 100,000,000 business educated middle managers and no scientists. Sorry, middle managers get paid more.

#12 Assessor's data base says it has been owned by the US Government.
Let's see the original deed and any subsequent titles then.

Do these idiots really think the Executive Branch IS the government rather than a part of it?

#15 And if the USIP is a congressionally funded think tank then where would the funds come from for them to own a building?

Congress.
Not the White House.

You mean that same working class that voted for Trump because they needed to spend their entire paycheck to live while Biden/Harris were in office?
#7 | Posted by fishpaw
What has Donald done to change that?
What did Republicans in Congress do to change that?

Illegal crossings down 94%
#41 | POSTED BY SCOTTS
Apprehensions are allegedly down according to Trump. Not crossings.
BIG difference.

To rewrite/implment an entire Social Security system in a matter of "months" is impossible.
#20 | Posted by brass30
No, it's not.
It's very easy and very doable.
...oh wait...you mean rewriting it and wanting it to work?
Nevermind. That's impossible.

What do you expect them to do? Send ubers for all of them? Is there some type of taxi service the government should run just in case we have a natural disaster?
I don't remember Texas or Florida doing anything like this during major hurricanes.

Why do you think it only happened this year? You're missing out on just getting shot by the police for no reason? Does that not happen now? It never happened? Also why would you travel to the US on vacation to complain about Israel? I think you don't want that type of person in your country.
Then again you're the guy that claimed foreign tourism was a $9Trillion dollar industry.
And I'll never forget how you ended that post ...
Done. LMAO.

Let's say there are aliens.
Why would they come here?
If the universe is teaming with life, coming here is like traveling 4 hours deep into the woods to inspect an ant hill. There are all over. I can see one in my backyard.
