This fellow seems pretty on the ball:
Eh, not really
Singapore has a negative view of the situation because we are now charging them what they have charged us for decades?
It’s funny to hear all the affected countries talk about trump “destroying free trade” (him included) when it was never free on our side.
In all fairness, I have no problem with any country setting those policies and doing what’s best for them, I do have a problem when we decide to do the exact same thing and then they start talking about how unfair it all is and start acting like we have no business whatsoever doing the exact thing that has been done to us for 40+ years.
Things are gonna be tite for a bit and there will be some teething pains but the US industrial base and manufacturing has been hollowed out over the years and we have to make some changes. The world will have to make changes too. I’ve heard politicians talk about china eating our lunch with the trade policies for decades and none of them ever did anything but talk. Like trump or hate him, you gotta admit he at least had the balls to put it all on the line and swing for the fences to do what he thinks is best for our country.
He is not a talk shit and do nothing but talk guy.
We cannot keep things on their current path, we will go bankrupt, the only plan anyone else had was to keep on the current path and fleece the taxpayers till it all comes down..
If trump brings it all down, I’d rather go down this way than to keep repeating the same tired shit that got us here in the first place.
The rest of the world is gonna have to make changes, might as well start figuring out how to work that out rather than pretend we had free trade and act surprised when we finally have had enough with pretending it was free with them.
We are done with that shit. Dam the torpedoes, full speed ahead…
