CardinalBacker Posted March 4 Report Posted March 4 Well, my 401k has officially fallen below what it was worth back when Biden/Harris were running things. At least it took a couple years for him to wreck the economy last time…. He’s less than two months in and already crapping the bed. LumRaiderFan 1 Quote

Big girl Posted Friday at 06:05 PM Report Posted Friday at 06:05 PM Didn't he pause the additional tarrifs for Mexico, because he respects the President of Mexico? Quote

Imposing tariffs are a last resort option. The threat is the main thing. The reason why Trump is backing off is that the President of Mexico has came around to what Trump/America wanted. Fair trade, better border control and help with the cartels. I'm sure there are more. But, you have to have the weight behind the threats. Everyone knows Trump doesn't play. America first! Again -- who can actually be against this?! @mat baddog 1 Quote

Again -- who can actually be against this?! @mat I understand the tool of tariffs but he’s changing every week totally jacking up the market and other industry relations. It’s a temporary halt until April 2, then he’ll do it all over again. Quote
