Is Trump's tariff war a mad genius?

[Faisal2202]

this is something the world has not seen in over 75 years.

It is indeed a global trade war, where governments are earning more, it is the responsibility of citizens to demand governments to publicize the usage of these extra tariffs they are getting, maybe in Turkey the president come up with some way to relax people even with higher tariffs by reducing taxes from electricity bills, maybe.

As without managing things, wars can start if went for the long term. What I think is, governments are smart if smart and educated people are there and being heard (most importantly) with them inside, things can become more easy. But if I speak about my country, things are upside down.

Each country will have to struggle on their own by the time global trade war happens. Its sad for a country that has less trading partners due to few products they can export. A country with less resources are often the ones that plunge to its worse.

But those countries that have been in the worse condition long before this trade war, I think they are used to it anymore. People starts eating just roots of palm trees to survive but they still going to be less affected by the trade war.

Well I used to be a history buff and it all looks like very hard times are coming.

For some reason whatever it is the musky trumpeter wants to tear down the USA government and remake it into his idea.

I kind of think we USA and a lot of the world will suffer over this.

It pretty sad to see what a person wants and gets can affect billions of other people in a harmful way.

I see it hurting a lot of people all over the world.

Oh yeah, 2008 will be a thai massage with a happy ending compared to what's next.
This on top of the thing that we got used to far better times than back in the 2000 era, but this will probably be a test for the new generation to realize how good this life they called shitty actually was and hw bad things can really get.

I don't know what's going on in Trump's head, but it's clear that these decisions are not in the best interest of American citizens, especially the middle class, as they are likely to bear the consequences of these stupid decisions.

Even wealthy industrialists won't be happy because their products will stagnate in global markets as a result of the imposition of additional tariffs. It seems that the only ones who will benefit from all this are the US governments, which will receive more money from the higher tariffs.

But in the end, everyone loses. This will not benefit American citizens or the American economy.

It can be good for the US citizen when the government makes money. Its going to restart the industrialization again in the country once Trump bring back the jobs. By that time, the hardship will allow people to learn and work tirelessly 

The hardship will always make men stronger mentally. The only we have to worry is avoid getting caught the wars of European countries which Trump may not get involve.

Yeah I get this idea,but it's the other ones they are adding on.

I WOULD LOVE TO  HAVE A RabId dog bite every Trump supporter. And see how many don't want the rabies vaccine.

Bruh, just stop idolizing this guy before you lose any common sense.

Trump is trying to stay away from European "wars", while threatening Denmark with the annexation of Greenland as well as trying to do the same with Canada. Trump, who just ordered strikes on Yemen and wants to turn Gaza into a casino hotspot after deporting everyone, is staying out of wars?
Use logic for god's sake!

@Stompix, but Big Dony will make crypto big, and the US will be a crypto wild west where everyone can do whatever they want, provided they pay into the donation boxes of those who are now in power. I don't know what's going on in the minds of the people who still believe, but I honestly don't know what was going on in the minds of those who voted for that man.

As of today, we have another 10 000 people laid off in the healthcare system, the show continues...

You don't believe in the plan? 
Shamefully copied from Reddit:

Let me tell you something, folks—BITCOIN. WOW. JUST WOW. The profits? UNBELIEVABLE. Some people are making so much money they can’t even count it. They call me up—"Sir, I’ve never seen numbers this big, sir." And I say, "Of course you haven’t. Because we’re winning. We’re winning BIGLY with Bitcoin."

Some people? They didn’t believe in it. LOSERS. TOTAL DISASTERS. Sad! But the smart ones? The best people? They got in early. They held. And now? They’re rolling in so much Bitcoin, they’re swimming in it like Scrooge McDuck. I mean, it's just stacks on stacks on stacks—absolutely TREMENDOUS!

And the haters? Ohhh, the haters! They said, “Bitcoin is a scam.” WRONG. “Bitcoin is going to zero.” FAKE NEWS. Meanwhile, it’s at $60,000, $70,000—maybe more! Maybe a million soon! Who knows? Because when I look at Bitcoin, folks, I see ONLY UP. Straight up, like one of my perfect buildings. Beautiful buildings. The best buildings.

And the government? Oh, they hate it. The swamp doesn’t want you to win. They want control, folks. They see people getting rich, and they CAN’T STAND IT. But we know the truth—Bitcoin is about freedom, it’s about winning, it’s about absolutely crushing it like nobody’s ever crushed before.

So if you made Bitcoin profits? Congratulations. You’re one of the greats. A true patriot. And if you didn’t? Well… maybe, just maybe, it’s not too late. Because Bitcoin? It’s going to the MOOOOOON—and I mean a beautiful, luxurious, gold-plated moon. 🚀🚀🚀

Back to reality, the orange madman is going to send us back to 2008 if we're lucky, and if not, hello great depression, nice seeing history re-writing itself.

I don't know if you're joking or not, but I don't see any benefit to what Trump is doing for American citizens.What jobs will Trump bring back? And how will manufacturing in the country resume with all the high tariffs that will hinder imports and exports?

Yes, the only thing that's true here is that it will cause a psychological crisis for everyone, whether ordinary citizens or industrialists. In any case, there's no need to worry, because it seems there will be a lot of psychological crises that they will have to get used to during the Trump era.

I can't remember who said it whether its Elon or Trump because the goal is for America not to be dependent on the products form other countries. The Chinese and all other countries may export products or not, but US will survive and most likely the need to develop products will encourage people to build and produce.

The advantage is still with US regardless of what other countries will do. However, US citizen will also experience hardship.

Look not a fan of Trump and typing this in the USA may end up getting me in trouble.

There is logic in annexing Greenland, but not Canada or Mexico or Panama.

Greenland can't defend their area against the inevitable Russian invasion.

So USA has to buy Greenland or give Denmark a ton of nukes.

If you were the USA which would you rather do?

My crappy little town in NJ, USA has 65,000 people and is 70 square miles.

Greenland has 56,000 people and is 600,000 + square miles.

As the North Pole and Greenland ice is being deliberately melted as I type Greenland will be an open space subject to invasion by Russia.

Do I like Trump's way of talking about  Greenland nope, but I do know Greenland will need a plan for prevention of invasion If not the USA then Russia so here's hoping a sane one is created.

no matter how much we like a politician, i really do not think we should idolize them to the point of turning blind to their mistakes

there is no perfect politician and we should be able to point out these mistakes for much more efficient governance

the very best example of trump trying to "stay away" from european wars is him meeting with ukrainian leader was it just this month or last month? i believe usa is trying to give some help to ukraine against russia

Phil, the logic in annexing Greenland as a precaution of a Russian invasion is like fortifying Salt Lake City against a Mexico invasion.

Russia has no deep water capabilities, it can't project force over a sea, the threat to Europe was always its immense tank and artillery arsenal, that's why the plans were to establish buffer zones. If by magic Greenland is occupied by Russia it can be done with only one thing happening first, the Scandinavian countries being invaded, and at this point Europe is so fucked up that Greenland is your last problem since now they would have a shot at the whole great Britain and Iceland too.

Second thing, why worry so much about Greenland and an invasion through the Atlantic over 4000 miles when you have just 100 miles of sea between Alaska and Russia? If anyone would like to invade North America, how would they do it?
Crossing the Atlantic with a fleet with no aircraft carriers and just two blue water battleships or ferry troops over 100 miles of water that can be protected by SAM missiles and bombers from land ?
