Economists warn that Trump's tariffs could cause tech prices to skyrocket

[WhoCaresAnymore]

You want to know what I think is pretty weird? Anyone who will actively vote for the SAME administration that caused all this mess. I have come to the conclusion that a majority of Americans are either politically ignorant or lack common sense. It's alarming actually that anyone would be okay with what is currently happening in our economical/political landscape.

You can’t change the woke-virus mind set. Why bother.

Was it woke people, or Trump and his supporters who tried to overthrow the government on January 6th?

Is it woke people, or Republicans who don't think it's weird thst and old man wears orange make-up?

Uninformed and closed minded. there were so many feds mixed in. so a guy wearing horns claiming to be a shaman scared you? Pelosi refusing to have the national guard at the event at Trumps request confused you as well. He’s been being set up by the deep state since day one. Oh, I forgot. You are a socialist and like big government.

Why don't you think it's weird that he wears make-up? An old straight white man, but always wearing make-up. Democrats see that and think he's clearly a crazy old man. Why don't all you Trumpsters think it's weird?

because it's a cult, it's not what people think when you say the word but the principle remains the same; isolation and stream line all communication to one source. He says it's not make up, it's not make up. You say he's crazy, he says you're crazy. Who are you going to believe, your lying eyes or the word of your leader who promises to make everything better for you.
People in cults never think of themselves as in a cult, they believe they know something you don't. They have the answers to all the problems and they all come from their leader. Now go back and re-read these posted comments. trump is not their candidate, they have no platform outside of racism and if he loses than it's rigged; he is their leader.

Another question for you to avoid.
What did the Biden administration do that caused this "mess" that other nations would kill for?

You can’t change the woke-virus mind set.

Did you know that's called a reflection deflection?
You see the garbage in yourselves, and then claim it's the other side.
And yes, you do sound just as pitiful as any other MAGAt making those claims.

Oh, I forgot. You are a socialist and like big government.

And we wont forget. You are a budding fascist that thinks social programs suck because the money they use could be used for tax cuts for your overlords.

He says it's not make up, it's not make up.

If it's not makeup, he is sticking his face in a Chinese wok.

Oh, and his tariffs from 2016-2020 caused the same rampant inflation that is predicted here? Inflation (the rise in the costs of goods and services) skyrocketed to a massive 1.9% I don't know that the US can stand another 4 years of such economic blunders.

What on earth are you talking about? This is completely divorced from reality. Inflation was low through DJT's presidency, beginning to end. It was while Biden was president that it hit 9.1%. That's right, not 1.9%, which isn't bad. 9.1%. Virtually everything you buy now costs approximately 27% more than it did when DJT left office. Inflation rate is additive.

These facts are trivially easy to verify.

True that inflation happened while Biden has been president, but inflation was caused by covid issues, not presidents.

Biden has been doing a good job dealing with inflation, which is why it's lower in the US than in most other places.

Claimed DJT's tariffs caused bad inflation, proven wrong, now presidents don't cause inflation, it's outside factors that cause it not presidents, but Biden is doing a good job with inflation.

Comical.

The Fed brought down inflation by hiking interest rates, which caused the economy to contract. DJT didn't cause the inflation, and Biden had almost nothing to do with the recovery.

Wow. Ok, what the hell is wrong with you people?
That has been proven right long ago, and discussed in depth right here.
The trumpanista ability to ignore imperial evidence continues to baffle and amuse America.
Good God, MAGA, get a grip. Ignorance is not a problem until it becomes willful. That is you.

Oh, and this too. Your entire statement is 100% opposite of the actual facts.
And MAGA wonders why people point and laugh at them.
Against my better judgement, because centrists and the left are HELPED when people like you speak, I will help a little.
Biden played a major role in reducing inflation. You could say he wanted to do an inflation reduction, with an act.
Start researching to help yourself. You need it.

Comical.

Yes, you are. (MAGA in general, of course)

Inflation is a global issue. I know that's like, really hard for you to understand.

Trump lies so often, no one can keep up. Here's on of his most recent lies: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...on-over-debate-comments/ar-AA1sEPjb?PC=EMMX01

So I just read about that this afternoon. And I checked just for peace of mind for those comments in the debate and yeah, he said them. With many millions of people watching.
Damn man, that is going to cost him.

I see you didn't follow the fact check I linked to. Good job.

The US economy is the keystone. The rest of the world economy moves in trailing fashion with the US economy.

Funny, now inflation is a global issue. First, DJT created the bad inflation, oops, that was totally false, so move to 'yeah but Biden did good in bringing it down' (from a 40 year high), to now 'but really it's global'.

Ever heard the term 'moving the goalposts'?

 

[Kirby1]

I see you didn't follow the fact check I linked to. Good job.

I never claimed inflation was 9% when Biden took office. That figure is wrong.

That doesn't really mean anything tho, inflation was a result of covid. It was worse in other nations, and Biden did a great job keeping it lower in the US than it was globally.

I assume Google works as well for you as it does for me, yea? Look up global inflation numbers and then come back with your claims.

Covid was indeed a global issue, and the cause of inflation.

How blind are you?

My reply was to ScavengerPC, not you.

You claimed the inflation was caused by DJT's tariffs. The post is still there, you can't really hide from it.

As I said, global inflation follows in a trailing fashion the US economy. So goes the US economy, so goes the rest of the world, right behind. As with all things, there are exceptions, particulary if you include non-first-world economies.

Here's a graph that shows it.

Inflation is top of mind globally. Comparing inflation across countries, however, is a lot easier said than done. In this post, the CEA introduces a new

Actually, my apologies, it was SRB who said that DJT's tariffs caused the hyperinflation, not you; fast and furious tendentious topics aren't helpful to even-tempered discourse.

Well thanks. I see then that you too didn't see the connection. You posted no facts.
Facts are below. Again.

The US economy is the keystone. The rest of the world economy moves in trailing fashion with the US economy.

Except after COVID I guess. Because our recovery has been much faster than the rest of the worlds. Unfortunately, they couldn't keep up.

I'm sure the point has always been that it was a great contributor.
Anyway, I'm linking Forbes because they lean very right. Though I found it with dozens of other articles explaining the same things. Read them.
Im also purposely linking one from a few years ago just to show you how long we have known about this. Except you.

Trump’s Tariffs Were Much More Damaging Than Thought

Research on the impact of Donald Trump’s trade policy finds to the extent a president manages the economy, Trump managed it poorly.

I truly believe you know that I know the difference. I was just hoisted by my spell checker.
So if you meant that as just a zinger, then I apologize.

This is so easy. Split the country. Let one side have the liberals, one side conservatives. We will see who comes crying to who when crap hits the fan in this world. We know it will. History proves it.

I'll stick with people who are armed, own power tools, carpenters, plumbers, electricians. People who know how to survive.

I'll leave the DEI and Woke people alone to take care of themselves.

 

[Shaitan]

I read daily articles about how Trump is dangerous and potentially the most dangerous thing that ever happened to mankind since Sabertooth Tigers in 3 languages.

I have no doubt that if I cared to read news stories in 6 languages then the number of "Trump Dangerous" articles would increase proportionally.

The amount of anti-Trump propaganda reminds one of the USSR PRAVDA and the Soviet Union.

Unless his stance on the USSR/Russia and Ukraine would be akin to the "old" Republican ones (think of Reagan, Bush and all the other Americans that fought tooth and nail against commies), I would definitely be glad that the mad woke lefties crushing the EU are destroyed.
However, considering the US will possibly retreat from Europe/NATO and give Russia a HUGE boost by stopping the US aid to Ukraine, I pray that he's not the future US president.
As I'm neither an American citizen, but I live in the marxist EU, I shiver at the idea of Russia taking over Europe

Mate. NATO is a money sink for the "New World Order". The US can't fund this crap anymore. We have a lot of work to do on our own country. Our Debt is killing us.

Don't just tell everyone that it gave you a boo boo. Explain why it is "BS". If you can. (You can't)


Always amazes me how some think criticizing a person running for President is derangement.
So, what does that make MAGA in regard to Harris?


If you don't like reading politics that hurt your feelings, every Techspot article gives a quick breakdown of the areas of the article on the front page link. This one says "Tech + Politics"
And at the top of this article first page the topics show "politics".
You MAGAs are not the victim. You are the whiners.

First of all lets see what democrats do "blame Republicans for doing what they are doing"
Trump will use the CIA, DOJ and FBI to attack his opponents 7yrs of Democrats doing is proof they say your doing something they are doing.
When demonrats accuse Reps of being whiners and you look at all the video evidence it shows you ONLY Democrats whine.
Dumila Harris has a 60min interview and mentions Trump 96 times, the democrats are obsessed with the fact they cannot come up with anything original, copy paste party...dumbocrats
