Trump's full interview at the Economic Club of Chicago

@@progperljungman8218 sure. If people would stop focusing on who is saying what, and rather focus on the substance of what is being said as well as what it also implies, then you'd realise that the man wants to bring more manufacturing along with jobs and oh no....cheaper pricing to the USA. You can do it with a carrot or a stick. He's using both if you listen to the plan. Kamala on the other hand likes talking about the difference between equality and equity. That woman is dangerous and her followers are too dumb to realise it.

However, when people can't afford to buy the goods, Everyone, in the US loses". The folks in charge told me, I kid you not, "you're just a woman, you don't understand economics".

There are other job sectors where the West has developed opportunities. Still, many countries now realise the price of those cheap products.

Why didn't Micklethwait say, "Here's some examples when tariffs did not work in America's history. Why do you think it would work in yours?

[@phyzix_phyzix]

The problem with tariffs is that it increases costs because paying worker in the US is more expensive. These costs are then passed down to the customer. The problem with not having tariffs is that less jobs are here in the US for workers. Seems like an impossible conflict but if we look a little deeper we notice that both side share a common goal which is to increase the wealth of Americans. One side wants to do it by keeping costs low and the other wants to do it by creating jobs. The wrong assumption here is that without tariffs you can't create new jobs in America. We can achieve both of those things without having to get tariffs involved. The solution is creating new industries in the US where we are first to market. If we achieve this it will create new jobs and keep costs low because tariffs are not increased.

[@Azranihil]

You introduce tarrifs to save american manufacturing genius. America will never be able to compete with China because of slave labour. Get back to 3'rd grade.

[@moedemama]

The problem is china is subsidizing its industries so they can in turn out price the foreign competition with the goal of driving them out of business and raise back prices in the end. Its an unfair move a country like china can afford but other companies cant afford to loose money in a race who goes bankrupt first

[@777NCM]

We desperately need manufacturing jobs. We can't depend on other countries to keep on making things and giving them to us in exchange for dollars. We've been able to get away with it only because the dollar has been the World's reserve currency. Once that changes, the US is toast unless there is a strong manufacturing base.

[@tinasprocket2812]

WHY SHOULD WE ALLOW OTHER COUNTRIES TO PROSPER OFF OUR PURCHASES OF THEIR GOODS SOLD HERE, WHEN THEY DO NOT ALLOW US TO SELL TO THEM????? Tariffs. Be fair, foreigners. WE have paid for everyone else everywhere else far too long.

[@darylphuah]

what will your new jobs be based on? the usa is quickly losing its foundation. You'll never be first to market if all the manufacturing talent & knowledge is elsewhere. To put it simply, your premises are correct, but your conclusion took a sharp turn You are not going to get wealthy simply by buying cheaper goods. Having to buy cheaper goods is the antithesis of wealth. The moment you head in that direction, its just downhill.

I study economic policy. Your take is very rational for a layman but does not accurately reflect the reality of how Trump/Biden admins have effected the economy. The cost of living increases have in large parts been due to factors outside of the control of the president, while what the president has done to create inflation (mainly stimulus packages) has been done by both admins. Trump’s economic policy is very irresponsible and deceptive, would recommend reading the wharton (trump’s own school) analysis on it. The short of it is things may improve during his term but at a large future cost. Economic equivalent of giving your child ice cream for breakfast to make them like you then abandoning them once they develop obesity.

It’s disappointing that you’re too scared or unwilling to question information when it aligns with your bias. You accept everything Trump says without question, while dismissing Harris immediately. An educated and intelligent person seeks the truth, regardless of the source, and only forms an opinion after thorough research and due diligence. For example, you hear Trump say, “tariffs are great!” and take it at face value. But do you realize that after those tariffs were implemented, countries responded with retaliatory tariffs on the U.S.? “The tariffs angered trading partners, who implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. In June 2018, India planned to recoup trade penalties of $241 million on $1.2 billion worth of Indian steel and aluminum, but attempted talks delayed these until June 2019 when India imposed retaliatory tariffs on $240 million worth of U.S. goods. Canada imposed matching retaliatory tariffs on July 1, 2018. China implemented retaliatory tariffs equivalent to the $34 billion tariff imposed on it by the U.S.” If you’re unwilling to question what you hear out of fear that it might be wrong, then you should just sit down and shut up. You don't deserve to have an opinion.

Tariffs are paid by us in the States. So you aren't saving us a dime. And you could start "rebuilding" by bringing back the auto plant you chased out of Warren, Michigan. All those jobs lost...

[@bigboyh6424]

This is true on paper, but not true in reality. in reality, the companies pay the terrifs with lower profits. What this assumes is that if there is a 20% terrifs that the company can raise prices 20% without losing market. This is crazy, because the company would already be charging the max amount already. So instead of a 50% margin, they have to take a 30% margin. As a result, prices didn't rise when Trump put terrifs in place. Additionally, inflation didn't happen. What happened in reality, those businesses took lower profits and jobs stayed in the US. This is far more important for national security in many industries to keep business here.

As a former prison guard in Canada, the cost [TO THE PUBLIC] per day to house and feed inmates WAS $175 PER DAY IN 1998. But the following article is a quote. How much does it cost to house a prisoner in Texas? By the numbers: The TDCJ budget For the 2024-25 biennium, TDCJ has an $8.5 billion budget, making it one of the largest state agencies in Texas. The per-inmate cost varies significantly by facility, but it averages to $77.49 per day per inmate.Jun 5, 2024 Therefore what is the cost to house illegal immigrants in Texas? $78.00 per day x 365 days= $28,750 per year x 10,000 illigals= $284,700.00/per year....
