145% price increase = 0 sales = 0 taxes collected.
Pres Trump: No one is going to buy anything that has a 145% tariff and so the government collects $0

Then how are we going to get rich? Trump is saying the money is pouring in.
Is Trump lying?
This is more reality than a comedy skit, although it is hillarious.
The skits actually write themselves.

This is how America will ensure Trump does not accomplish his agenda, which America desperately needs. People with influence will nibble away at the edges of the big picture until the big picture no longer exists.
Guaranteeing America gets what it deserves, more milquetoast progressive/Marxist such as Biden/Harris. We should just go ahead a rip the band aide off, and join the EU now.
The goal is free trade. Despite what the DS controlled media tells people

Brian, you sing that tune a lot, don’t you?
You defend Trumps tariff policies as a way to balance trade. He touts it as a way to rake in trillions. Which one is “America” screwing up?

The media and the left are screwing things up. His agenda has been clear but I doubt anyone on the left is listening to it.
The tariff/tax before Trump and what they are today are far different. Do you not think that a simple 10% import tax will raise revenue? How about other countries that have reduced tariffs? Will this not simultaneously increase revenue for us and open foreign markets for USA businesses?
Finally, the China deal is in its infant stages. The left says we will lose to China. Of course the left (and left media) say this. They do not care about America, they care about what is politically expedient.
Either Trump is right and things needed to drastically change or they didn’t. What do you think?
I didn’t ask who, I asked what. The only the “left media” can do is change a perspective. They will not change the outcome.
My question was, which policy is being challenged, the policy to balance trade or the one to bring in trillions of dollars from “foreign governments” (his words, not mine).
How about they just put a DONATE button on the Treasury Department website?
A 10% tariff on coffee will bring in revenue but it will do nothing for balancing coffee trade. We don’t produce coffee.
I’ll take a wait and see approach. If he miraculously fixes the country’s problems, I’ll be the first to bow before him. You’re already prostrated yourself before him, so I’ll let you have your faith.
I defend him more diligently here because the opposition is more steadfast, ridiculous and emotionally driven. A clearing house of bad ideas. All concentrated into a single group of about 10 active members.
But have no doubt where my faith lies for it is with no man. Trump could croak tomorrow, famine unleashed and bombs overhead and it would not change how I begin and end my day.
It will never happen with constant opposition from within. He is hobbled and I do not hesitate to point out who is doing the hobbling. Which is normally good to have open debate, but the debate is more about mocking and discrediting from a chorus of CCP and leftist controlled media.

Perfect. And other tariffs will balance trade. Can’t do two things at once?
If we could only get rid of those pesky checks and balances, he could get back to “running” our country.

I am talking about the media and the populace. Congress is free to do as they wish. If they want to rein in his authority, they are welcome to do so.
(I guess it is those pesky elections after all)

I never said that or even implied it. But we can attempt to counter the narrative de jour. Expose the hypocrisy and lies. Reject the emotional responses. And hope to inspire an America first patriotism.
It has become increasingly difficult to accomplish this with a populace that has been taught to hate America, its founding fathers, and themselves. And an America that places skin color above all other measures.
But we can try.
