It's the economy, stupid.

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Big trade deals are beginning to come together. Japan and The Philipines are big pieces. The hand wringing over the tariffs causing inflation is not coming to fruition. I acknowledge I was unaware as to have complicated these trade arrangements are.

You might want to read this description of the "deal" you're cheering for. It's effectively a 650% tax increase on Americans that buy products made in Japan. That increase is what this trade "deal" is.

And he talks about inflation as if it can be turned off and on instantly. The "deal" trump got is, in effect, just an increase on Japanese imports from less than 2% to 15%....so now something that cost about a hundred dollars last month will now cost you about $115 on something from Japan. The fabulous "deal" ie merely a 650% increase in the tariff rate from what it's been for years. The result is that Americans will pay 15% more, at least, for Japanese products. Winning! If you hate America

The reflexive ease with which SoupySales swallowed Dementia DonOLD's dishonest version tells us everything we need to know about MAGAts.

”TDS" is one of the dumber things ovine Trumpettes are screeching in obedient lockstep. DonOLD is POTUS and an obsessive attention-seeking whore. Of course we pay attention, as does whiny clown SoupySales. Plus, we're ALL commenting on this "deal" that DonOLD is LYING about according to Japan. Thus, the ”TDS" is as much SoupySales' as ours. MAGA fails logic, maturity and honesty, again.

Yeah, when supplicant trumpeted this Japan "deal" as something to celebrate, I couldn't fucking believe anyone could be so goddamn stupid. The ONLY thing the "deal" does is raise the tariff rate on Japanese imports, which results in Americans paying more for Japanese products. What kind of dumbass thinks this is a deal, much less a good deal? I can't understand these wingnuts.
