Trump is incredibly dumb or senile

Here's the reality:

 

Almost zero job growth in 2025. Half normal job growth in Jan 2026.

 

Highest rate of manufacturing job layoffs since covid.

 

There is no indication of "future" job growth.

 

The revenue "raised" by tariffs came directly from the pockets of American taxpayers. Ironic, since MAGA always yells at Democrats for raising taxes.

 

It's estimated that the Trump tariffs cost the average American household $1000 in 2025.

 

I don't think we can stand much more of these "amazing" "accomplishments "

 

So yes, quite dumb. Trump truly doesn't understand the most fundamental aspects of how tariffs work: namely, who pays them. He thinks that when he slaps tariffs on Canadian goods, Canada pays them. Dumb!

 

Now scream at me, insult me, call me a liar, etc. etc. That will not change reality.

 No need to "scream" - the nonsense you posted here "screams" loud enough.

The Supreme Court did him a favor when they ruled his tarrifs were illegal. He could've gotten away from an awful policy and blamed someone else for it not working. 

 

Instead, he tries to illegally institute more tariffs. Nobody likes the tariffs Democrats, independents and even a lot of Republicans.

 

Is he dumb or senile?

 And you apparently do not comprehend the end result of imposing tariffs. These are the negatives - Increased Consumer Prices: Tariffs commonly lead to higher prices for goods, increasing the cost of living and reducing consumer purchasing power. Higher Costs for Business: Companies that import raw materials or components face higher expenses, which can cause them to raise prices on finished goods or reduce production.--- These are the Positives - Protection for Domestic Industries: By making imported goods more expensive, tariffs can help local manufacturers compete, potentially shielding them from foreign competition. Reduced Trade Volumes: Tariffs are designed to reduce imports, which can lead to a decline in international trade and, sometimes, a narrowing of the trade deficit. Retaliation and Trade Wars: Targeted countries often impose retaliatory tariffs, leading to escalating trade tensions and reduced export opportunities for domestic firms. Government Revenue Generation: Tariffs generate revenue for the government, with recent studies showing significant income collected from importers. - the overall effect is to balance trade, bring jobs and manufacturing back to America, and to rely less on foreign products. These changes do not happen overnight, but when in place, America sees long term benefits.
