Everyone will buy cheap Russian oil. Tariffs are a useless trick to hide the Epstein list.
lol, if the Epstein list is soooo important and is allllll about Trump, then why didn't the biden administration release "the list"?

Hmm, maybe because releasing the list would NOT have damaged Trump, but would have damaged the other side who had the power to release it for several years?

Hello DwnUndrTrdr.

Unfortunately, you are correct, it is a sign of the times. I expect more from not only President Trump but also from all the elected officials with their use of foul language.
Also, disrespecting any of the elected officials( no matter what country they are in) by calling them all sorts of names isn't right either. The scriptures plainly teach that we are to respect those who are over us. The highest is God himself. We will all be held accountable for all we have done while on earth.

So it is ok for Trump to arm-twist Ukraine into making a deal to mine, but it's not ok for India, an oil-dependent country, to buy cheap oil for its people? This is why the world will eventually stop trading with the US and opt for another currency to trade in because the US keeps over-leveraging its strength in a dictatorial way and makes itself less trusted.

It is because even the Democrats and their wealthy donors are on the list. DUH!! The list will expose Trump, Democrats, Republicans, and many wealthy folks. You can't be that naive to believe there is "no list". Why in the world was Maxwell sentenced then? Trump himself said a lot of lives would be destroyed if the list were released, and he was not talking about the victims. And victims' names can be redacted easily. What does common sense tell you when he says these things?

Attack Trump for trying to stop a war that India is helping to fund?
So are you a Chinese bot or a Russian bot? Clueless either way.

As to everyone who keeps saying US people will pay all the tariffs, that’s mathematically ridiculous and there is zero evidence for that. Definitely some costs will be passed on for certain things. There will be a one time increase in costs, but you can buy alternatives if possible. Also if faced with a tax increase that would cost you $10k a year vs. tariffs that might cost you less than $2k per year, which would you prefer? The tariffs are guaranteed better deal than letting the taxes go back to where they were.

you don't understand how tariffs work , you also disregard the trickle down effect of lost revenue. If you think he's doing this because India is buying Russian oil your sipping koolaid( I agree they shouldn't be) that's his excuse not his reason

I'm tired of the fighting and the opinions meant to sway others opinions when then original is deriving from uneducated, un-informed mouths & minds.Even if we dont go to war with anyone over the next 20 years, we are on a financially unsustainable path as a country.
Idc if we gotta charge the world 10x more tariff fees than normal, its us or them

WTF does Trump continually say the Country of Origin will pay?? Even a quick AI search returns this...

Tariffs are taxes imposed by a government on imported goods. While tariffs are paid directly by the importer (usually a domestic company bringing goods from abroad), the cost often gets passed along the supply chain. Here's how it typically breaks down:

1. Importer Pays First
The company importing the goods pays the tariff to the government when the goods enter the country.

2. Costs Passed to Others
The importer may then:

Raise prices for wholesalers or retailers,

Or directly pass higher prices to consumers.

3. End Result: Consumers Often Pay More
Although the government collects the money from the importer, the final burden is usually shared:

Consumers pay higher prices for imported goods.

Domestic businesses that rely on imported materials may face higher costs.

Foreign exporters may see reduced demand if prices rise too much.

Example:
If the U.S. imposes a 25% tariff on imported steel:

A U.S. company importing steel from China pays the 25% tariff at the border.

That company likely raises prices on products made with steel.

Consumers or businesses buying those products ultimately feel the price increase
