This guy, a J6er who lost his bid for a U.S. House seat in West Virginia of all places, is a total idiot.
...As is anyone who believes that products in the U.S. aren't impacted by tariffs either directly or after companies hike their prices because they no longer have more affordable competitors.

I ALREADY STATED 2 DAYS AGO, I TRACK CARS ONLINE.
PRICES WENT UP STRAIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD, BECAUSE PARTS THAT ARE USED COME FROM OVERSEAS. PLUS, AMERICAN DEALERS ARE ASSHOLES & ARE CASHING ON FUCKING CONSUMERS FOR MORE $.
WHAT A DUMBASS.

Perfect for a twitterdiscussion, these idiots. But they are the reason MAGA still supports Trump.
Unless they started to THINK.
And bringing manufacturing back to the US involves more than monetary assistance. There are numerous reasons much of what we buy is from other countries. Mainly cost to produce.
Why are these people always so bad at grammar?
I’d like to know just one American company that produces anything and does it with ONLY American made supplies or parts.
Just one.

None of the crap they sell is made in the US.
Wall Street is a leading indicator & they indicate shi* is about to get ugly

Without these parts, H-D can either go back to the dreaded AMF-era or fold biz.

"christian white pride nationalist terrorists" have used in the past.
Almost all white pride far right cucks have done & read & share them w/likeminded idiots.
That's not even a "partisan" statement. That's a "I thought about it for a minute" thing.
“affect” (verb)
not
“effect” (noun)!
Aaaugh sorry I can’t help myself !
(*U is a stylistic choice)
My threshold for idiots is at an all-time low these days!
Using “effect” as a verb (correctly) requires a command of the English language waaaay beyond Derrick, who probably hid in the boys bathroom smoking in 3rd grade when the Scholastic book club fairs were going on.
The SaskParty really knows how to make life better for all of us ❤️
Millions of products are "assembled" in US, from parts that are imported. i.e. if a food ingredient is imported, and changes form, powder to liquid, u can claim USA Made.
The stupidity is off the charts, clearly dumb shits in DC and trump is pathetic.
I hate the stupid.
Two problems:
a) Hawaii produces far less coffee than the US consumes
b) These people have obviously never bought real Kona and have no idea -how expensive it is-.

Either way, you pay more.
When import Aluminum was tariffed 10%, the price of both imported and US Aluminum went up 15%! Explain that!
Has Manufacturers in Mexico Canada and Italy in the EU.

If Honda and Ford both cost $30,000 and you put tariff on Honda and it now costs $35,000 - guess what?
Ford goes - hey we can charge $33,999 and still be below competition.
And that exactly what they do.
All econ models begin with "All other things remaining equal".
Economist understand - just models - not reality. Is learning tool. Other factors always change in response.
trumpers think model real.
Buyers were willing to pay premium above list price to buy Japanese cars.
Tariffs raise the price of everything, and US stuff is still going to have to compete on quality and price.
most things have raw products that will be tariffed.
aluminum, steel, rubber.
plastics? not sure, but would think so.
what else is anything made of?
food, sure, buy local, but not sure how many berries are grown in wisconsin in the winter
like the equity lords are going to be so generous
Increasing market share requires a shit ton of work and capital for something that be gone next quarter.
Keeping the same volume for an additional 25% is pure profit with no additional work.
And that ignores the fact that the producer him/herself is affected by the general rising prices caused by these tariffs and needs to raise prices
Example: When I was in prime car-buying age, American(/Canadian) made cars generally sucked ass. You wanted a good car, you paid a bit more and got JP or DE.
Cheaper US cars didn't cut it.
As celebration items.

way to blame Biden when they’re broke.
Increased cost of imported components for US manufacturing = upward price pressure on consumers.
Then also all the other things that can be inflationary due to direct or indirect responses of foreign parties & changed trade flows.
what exactly is even still made here?
After all, if voters did know then they (probably) wouldn't have voted for someone who literally campaigned on raising prices.
It's not just products with imported components that will go up.
bauxite.
Also, in this late stage capitalist economy, prices have less to do with costs than they do with consumer willingness.
The corporations will charge as much as the market will bare. Unconnected to cost.
I disagree on cost, though. Companies that use aluminium will want the lowest cost, and that would be imported unless you skew the market with tariffs.
