It's the economy, stupid.

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

... Lutnick’s misleading framing echoes similar falsehoods pushed during Trump’s first term, when tariffs on China were repeatedly described as “paid by China” despite economists and industry experts pointing out that U.S. consumers bore the brunt.

The blatant ignorance of these people is astounding. Tariffs have always been a tax on the importer. It's not rocket surgery.

Relevant because of the new 35% tariff on Canadian goods going into effect? Or, they just decided that DonOLD was due for a non-Epstein smear with Congress on break, nttawwt. :twisted:

These are the 10 wealthiest states in the U.S. by income
Did your state make the list?


2. Maryland :clap: :clap:

7 blue, 2 red, 1 purple (VA). No surprise.
I wonder who will be fired over this? And will it serve to increse the lying and whining about states controlled by Democrats? I'm pretty confident; after all, lying and whining is pretty much all they do. LAW rules. LAW is how they roll.

Pairing these numbers with a "cost of living" scale would provide a better comparison by state.

Well, trump's big beautiful tariffs started at midnight. How long will it take for the cult to have their eyes opened to reality about how he promised to lower prices but instead deliberately caused them to drastically increase? They have swallowed all the LAW up until this point. Now they will have to choose between reality or engaging in LAW with themselves.

It'll probably be more than that for a lot of cultists, especially if they are among those who buy trump's bibles, tennis shoes, watches, and other foreign made gimcracks. But I have faith that many of them will blame the increase in prices on everything on Biden and or Democrats. Being stupid is a stubbornly difficult habit to overcome.

Sounding skeered and looking for a scapegoat.

He forgot to blame the Fed.
Tariffs are having a huge positive impact on the Stock Market. Almost every day, new records are set. In addition, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are pouring into our Country's coffers. If a Radical Left Court ruled against us at this late date, in an attempt to bring down or disturb the largest amount of money, wealth creation and influence the U.S.A. has ever seen, it would be impossible to ever recover, or pay back, these massive sums of money and honor. It would be 1929 all over again, a GREAT DEPRESSION! If they were going to rule against the wealth, strength, and power of America, they should have done so LONG AGO, at the beginning of the case, where our entire Country, while never having a chance at this kind of GREATNESS again, would not have been put in 1929 style jeopardy. There is no way America could recover from such a judicial tragedy, but I know our Court System better than anyone, there is no one in history that has gone through the trials, tribulations and uncertainties such as I, and absolutely terrible, but also amazingly beautiful, things can happen. Our Country deserves SUCCESS AND GREATNESS, NOT TURMOIL, FAILURE, AND DISGRACE. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

So, translated, "it doesn't matter if what we did was illegal and harmful to the economy, it would be worse to undo it, so just let it go."

He and The Heritage Foundation have also cooked up new jobs numbers for himself and Biden after the recent anemic official reports.

That's how I read it. But his advance lying will not change what's about to happen over the next couple of months with prices at the stores. I guess it remains to be seen if the cultists will be stupid enought to still believe him. He may as well pardon Ghislane Maxwell now.
