Trump threatens 'far larger' tariffs if EU and Canada unite to do 'economic harm' to the U.S.
-
Hey dipshit (not OP), the whole point of tariffs is to reduce imports. Of course a, sane person would ramp them up over time to allow any domestic production the chance to fill the gaps.
Why would you want to reduce imports anyway?
“China is sending us cheap cars! What are we gonna do?!”
Idk man, drive the cars and use the money you saved for something else? Seems like a good deal to me.

They are often done to ensure local production of critical infrastructure or to compensate foreign markets from subsidizing their exports

The only person doing economic harm to the US is him.

I agree. He seems to think countries should be paying tribute to the US.
No "seems" necessary. Just look at him and Vance berating Zelenskyy for not thanking them.

I get the premise, it just seems silly. If a foreign company wants to give you steeply-discounted stuff, it seems like you ought to take the cheap stuff and enjoy it rather than worry about being unable to sell the same stuff as cheaply.

I'm pretty sure that was deliberate. Bush didn't want a soundbite of him saying shame on me.
Yeah, it's really a rare instance of quick thinking on his part (relatively)

Ding ding ding. We have a winner
Not that I am doubting this as a tactic but has this been reported in my any large organisations?

Exactly, he doesn't know how to negotiate because a negotiation involves give and take. Trump has only ever known take, take, take

Yet another thing that is beyond our willfully ignorant American Republican's comprehension.
Adults cooperate with others who are open to mutually beneficial cooperation. Babies (and largely seniors past 70 as we become very similar to our sunrise at the sunset of life) kick and scream demanding to get their way the way they want it.

The trump regime’s only purpose is to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.
They are the ones already owning the companies. It's not like the middle class had much of the ownership lol
"The bottom 90% of Americans own approximately 7% to 11% of all stocks. This highlights the significant concentration of stock ownership among the wealthiest individuals in the U.S. ."
Trump is hurting the rich. Which is hilarious because it's not like he has anyone else's interests in mind ahahaha
Oh yeah, his top buddy Putin

Well I really hope we don’t get the conservatives in in this coming election so we can actually help the rest of the world fight back against this piece of shit and his stupid fuck ass country.
Honestly the one silver lining with America's current shitshow is that it turned a near-certain Conservative majority into a likely Conservative loss.
I just hope the rest of the world is ready to help us fight back

No, because it's speculation.
It's far more comfortable to think it's being done for some malicious reason rather than out of stupidity or fear.
