The 4 Biggest Consequences of Trump's Disastrous Tariff Plan


For starters, the decision could cripple the U.S. economy

President’s Trump’s crusade to alienate the United States from the rest of the world continued on Thursday, when Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross announced the imposition of a 25 percent tariff on steel imports and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and the European Union. The tariffs were initially announced in March, but temporary exemptions were granted to our allies in the hopes that a mutually beneficial deal could be struck. It couldn’t; the exemptions were lifted and now the U.S. appears to be entering a world of needless economic pain.


International allies, nonpartisan economists, business leaders and others have roundly condemned the decision. So too have Republican lawmakers like Orrin Hatch, Bob Corker, Ben Sasse and even outgoing House Speaker and reluctant Trump critic Paul Ryan. "I disagree with this decision," Ryan wrote in a statement. "Instead of addressing the real problems in the international trade of these products, today's action targets America's allies when we should be working with them to address the unfair trading practices of countries like China. There are better ways to help American workers and consumers. I intend to keep working with the president on those better options."


The metal tariffs will have a notable impact on American employers and consumers, but even scarier than the tariffs themselves is what they signal could be coming in the future. Trump on Wednesday suggested a 25 percent across-the-board tariff on imported automobiles, and reportedly told French President Emmanuel Macron he wants "maintain his trade policy until no Mercedes models rolled on Fifth Avenue in New York."


The tariffs imposed Thursday also throw the future of America’s participation in the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) into flux. Trump has expressed a desire to tear up the deal since the 2016 campaign, and no progress has been made as to renegotiating it to Trump’s liking. Judging by his similarly unpopular decisions to remove the U.S. from the Paris Accord and the Iran nuclear deal, it’s now a very real possibility that the president withdraws the U.S. from NAFTA if the trade war he just created were to get worse. "The United States has been taken advantage of for many decades on trade," Trump said Thursday in a statement, referencing NAFTA. "Those days are over. Earlier today, this message was conveyed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada: The United States will agree to a fair deal, or there will be no deal at all."


Trump's Tariff Decision: The 4 Biggest Consequences - Rolling Stone

Trump has spent more visiting Mar-a-Lago than Mueller has on Russia probe
President Trump has spent more in taxpayer dollars on frequent trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida than special counsel Robert Mueller's office has spent on the Russia investigation so far.

"A.P. has just reported that the Russian Hoax Investigation has now cost our government over $17 million, and going up fast. No Collusion, except by the Democrats!" Trump tweeted Friday.


But that number is dwarfed by the amount required to pay for the president's numerous trips to the "Winter White House," which Washington Post and Politico analyses have estimated to cost taxpayers on average between $1 million and $3 million per trip.


As of Dec. 26, Trump had spent 39 days at Mar-a-Lago in 2017. Trump took his 17th trip to the property in April, according to Town and Country magazine.



The figure also comes in spite of Trump's frequent attacks aimed at his predecessor, former President Obama.


Trump, who has been criticized for his frequent outings to Trump properties, particularly golf courses, has invoked his own criticism of Obama's golfing trips on numerous occasions. Trump surpassed the pace of Obama's golf outings, making 56 total trips so far compared to Obama's 37 at the same point in his presidency, according to Politifact.

Wow, someone found a dictionary and maybe a thesaurus. Lol
Honestly, insults are not the way to come across as an intelligent person.
If you disagree with someones opinion, present an opposing opinion or simply don't read this thread if you are unable to present an opposing opinion.
There is absolutely no need or reason to make it personal.

Giuliani calls it 'unthinkable' that Trump would pardon himself

Why would you need a Pardon if your Innocent ? Unless your Guilty.

I don't disagree with him, I think he's terrible waste of life. I think the world would be a better place if he wasn't there. He is the type of person who sails through life taking advantage of the poor while having no concern over the price of his white privileged comfort. But he pats himself on the back and pretends to be good, because he thinks his daily shot of liberalism somehow excuses him from paying attention to real suffering.

He is the pinnacle of a diseased mind and moral bankruptcy. He is the reason bad men are able to do bad things... because as long as he has his pacifier (his seat of liberal judgment) he sees the status quo as the only worthy thing in life.

His interest in Trump's tariffs is only in his own comfort. That is ALL he cares about.

Last week my drain pipe clogged and I spent three hours pushing a twenty foot auger through the pipes and pulling from that pipe the foulest matter you can possibly imagine. But everything that came from that pipe is more worthy of praise and honor than SalesServiceGuy.
