So you don't believe the facts they offered?
You believe the surplus China has is $1 trillion?
You believe other countries not the American consumer pays the tariffs?
Amazing

Didn’t read it. CNN and facts…lol.

I mean wtf is going on we got Ron vara going on national tv lying about the ten year yield on a daily basis like people can’t look that up for themselves and we have rfk going straight vaccines causes autism crusade again.

No matter who is in charge the last decade or so it’s been a fucking circus. Obama and bush were jokes but I’d take anything to have one of those two back in office over the clown shows we have had recently

That's so perfect. Watch Fox and NewsMax and you believe Trump when he says there's a trillion dollar trade difference with China.
You'll believe other countries pay the tariffs, not the consumer.

Perfect example of people who don't research facts and voted this guy back into office.
I'll go with his VP (and others) that said he was unfit.

I didn't say any of those things.

There's a reason why it's a theory and why governments have not used it as a justification for trade policy. It's ignorant. Doesn't take into account the actions of other large countries at all such as ya know selling bonds that would cause our economy to collapse.

Oh ok. Thanks Professor.

I said I did a refresher on it. That is all.

Real quick Ville. Are tariffs still in place? If so, you may want to check your logic on bonds.

You do realize that’s the real reason he backtracked on retaliatory tariffs, correct? Not his made up “negotiations”

So, tariffs are still in effect and we had a good bond sale this week?

How did bonds do when retaliatory tariffs were threatened, which is what your theory is based on that you just read up on.

How’s the dollar doing brew? Still think Rand is wrong? For how smart you think you are, you have a lot of trouble seeing what’s right in front of your face.

11% down since trump took office. This is awesome

So, yes. Thanks for clarifying. It's not my theory btw.
