Interesting.
His answer I have never forgotten: âFirst, allow universal school choice; second, expand free trade; third and most importantly, cut government spending.â That was long before Barack Obama and Joe Biden came along.
Uncle Miltie said those things and I highlighted one thing he said but was not mentioned again in the article. And here comes âTrump the Tariffableâ. Which is going to feed inflation if he goes thru with it. As far as wasteful spendingâŚis it cheaper to BUY Greenland or is it more economically attractive to wrest control via military action? Same thing for the Panama Canal.
There arenât too many problems in America that canât be traced back to the growth of big and incompetent government.
A-fucking-men.
What did Trump have for breakfast this morning?
Just pointing out that an âexpertâ doesnt seem to agree with Trump and the article doesnât address how addressing spending but ignoring free trade will help.
The tds runs strong in this one.
That is exactly why Trump talks tariffs, trolling or not because WE donât have free trade. In most deals we are being disadvantaged or taken advantage of. Trump is a businessman not a social man. He looks at these âdealsâ we made and like some of us who owned and ran businesses he scratches his head and wonders WTF?
You really should be on board. Theses âdealsâ benefit the few elite in this country and it needs to stop.
Lefties were obsessed with Trump and ignored what was happening in the country over the last 4 years, which helped get him elected. Lefties are going to whine 24/7 over the next 4 years about the man, Iâm not sure what theyâre hoping to accomplish, Trump canât run in 2028.
Youâre just bringing Trump up in a thread that has nothing to do with him.
The linked article talks about what Tump should do when he takes office.
IT does. And âfree tradeâ was mentioned by Uncle Miltie but ignored by the author.
Define âfree tradeâ
NAFTA - TPP and the other treaties that were to keep the playing field level, and an incoming president promising across the board tariffs on Mexico and Canada (despite the âreplacementâ for NAFTA that he negotiated in his last term)âŚswinging the tariff hammer at Germany if they donât buy oil from us and now threatening tariffs against Denmark if they wonât sell us Greenland. Iâm pretty sure âfree tradeâ doesnâtâ mean tariff the hell out of every other country.
I"m actually wondering if his magnificent negotiating skills didnât fuck up his world when it comes to Canada and Mexico - they raised the limit from 65% of the components of goods that had to be sourced from any of the 3 countries to 75%. in order to avoid tariffs. And if they are meeting that, I wonder if he can slap an additional 20% on willy nilly.
Those donât make the playing field level. They put us at a disadvantage. It crushed union labor in AMerica.
While I donât like unions, I respect the right of people to organize. NAFTA should be revoked.
TPP wasnât free trade. Which is why there was opposition and it was never ratified.
Unions were against NAFTA from the start and threatened to not support Democrats that voted for it (guess what, they supported them anyway).
Trump renegotiated both of them. Why
NAFTA was a great Republican idea that got implemented because a the democrat âreached across teh asileâ and signed it. But today Republicans can only say âlook who signed itâ. But waitâŚthe bestest negotiator to every walk the face of the earth renegotiated it soâŚlook who signed it.
Just to clear things upâŚitâs not called NAFTA anymore. According to our board expert, you, Trump made some major modifications and it is no longer NAFTA - itâs United States Mexico Canada agreement. Negotiated by the greatest president in the history of our country, Donald T Rump.
