me.

My point was that tarriffs are getting blamed for problems Unions are causing.

Whaaaaat?

Can't we just leave the money printer on?

It worked for Obama. Well maybe worked isn't the right word.

Hoo boy. Don't bother trying to explain it.

 

[EasternVol]

@EasternVol see! I called it!

Nailed it.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Nailed it.

I actually do have a few problems with unions. However trying to blame all this tariff stupidity on unions is pure gold.

As do I. Seeing up close how the UMW helped kill the goose that laid their golden egg helped shape that view. But it's not unions' fault that factory labor elsewhere is dirt cheap or that Trump's a dumbass in matters of international commerce.

Not really.

“The Philippines will pay a 19% tariff”

ETA: Murphy were you commenting on me not being clear (which is what I responded to from my inference of your post) or Trump’s usual tweet psychobabble was incoherent? If the former I clarified, if the later I agree. Lotsa words with no real substance. Which has been the norm for these deal announcements

Trump's take on tariffs is nonsense.

Ah got it. Agreed.
