I've been hearing a lot of bitching from the media and democrats about Trump's tariffs. The one word you NEVER hear from any of them is "reciprocal". In other words, Trump is tariffing all the countries which have had unfair, one way trade tariffs against the U.S. for decades.
If any of these countries don't like the tariffs, all they have to do is remove their own. Instead, many, like China, are doubling down and acting insulted, as if receiving the same treatment they have been giving the U.S. for years is an insult. It's like a long time bully acting outraged after his long time victim finally gets sick of it and punches him in the eye. Trump is the first president in memory to stand up to the Euros and Asians when it comes to trade.
I was wondering why that was so and started thinking about an old saying "follow the money". I wonder just how much money both the democrats and republican politicians got paid to sell out the working man for all those years they did nothing as terrible trade deals and one way tariffs caused U.S. manufacturing to crumble while an unsympathetic media and those same politicians told all the laid off workers to "learn to code".
Trump got all this shit dumped onto his lap, and is actually attempting to do something about it rather than ignoring the problem, as all the previous administrations, both republican and democrat have.
So I'd like to say to the media, democrats, and republicans who have ignored this issue for decades and are now complaining about the ONE person in office who is attempting to deal with this, fuck you and fuck off.
Yes, there will probably be inflation as these shithole countries(including many of our so called "friends") fight tooth and nail to keep the status quo, which is them fucking over the U.S., but that will eventually end when a taste of their own medicine becomes too painful for them, or manufacturing returns to the U.S.
Don't blame Trump for the pain, blame all the assholes in politics and the media who sold you out.
