It’s hard to say if the president truly knows what he’s doing. But there is a precedent for the US causing short-term chaos and reaping long-term gain, says economist James Meadway
You read the place where I said I’ve already addressed it, and failed to notice that part, and only noticed the part where I quickly touched on the TLDR of what I’d already addressed in more detail previously. Is that what happened?
This definitely sounds like a reading comprehension issue. Slow down. Read! It is good for you.
I’ve read all 19 of your comments in the two threads. Apart from the points about Treasury Bills and manufacturing capacity, you keep saying you have another analysis there but the rest of us are not smart enough to see it. It’s incredibly obviously a naked emperor.
I’m fine with many many points of view, including pro-Trump ones if they make sense (one random example from recently being that he seems genuinely surprised and angry that Russia broke the cease-fire instantly). My complaint with this article is not that it’s pro-Trump, it’s that it is horseshit.
There’s also this:
He literally thinks (or thought, at one point, I don’t know if he still does) that the country doing the exporting pays the tariff. He put 50% tariffs on Lethoso. That’s not underestimating, that’s just facts.
Other more coherent people have written about his motivations, the source of his tariff ideas, all kinds of stuff. You can do analysis of any of his ideas and the goals (if any) behind them without agreeing with any of it. But this article’s thesis is more or less “he’s trying to devalue the dollar to set right the balance of trade, and it might work” and that is a bunch of sanewashing and horseshit with some additional fantasies about how well Reagan’s stuff worked out thrown in for good measure.
You’ve given your argument before that Trump is “one random guy”, and it’s erroneous to focus on him when talking about tariffs or talking about this article. Still want to stick with that? I merely ask for information.
I mean apparently it defeated you lol. Like I said, I’m trying to help you with your reading comprehension and research abilities apparently.
