It should scare you, too. I was talking to one of my industry reps this morning, talking about Trump’s tariffs the first time around. Said cost of each shipment of their imports from China went from $2,000 to $30,000. Guess who wound up paying.
Buy American.
Why? What does that even mean? Does an American product have to be made with 100% American parts and each American part have to be made with 100% American components and each American component have to be made with 100% American subcomponents …. How about labor? Does it apply to all labor production and assembly, too? Do all the other countries get to do the same thing for their country? Should the concept of imports and exports just dissolve?
Don’t over think it.
What scares me is all the unvetted illegals and fentanyl pouring into the country. We've lost three kids of close friends to fentanyl and had a couple of friends thankfully escape with only minor injuries in car wrecks with drunk illegals. If Trump placing tariffs on Mexico gets them to help reduce both I'm all for it as you should be.
Neither of us should choose a boneheaded option like tariffs and trade wars as the cure for the fentanyl crisis. But I understand. You’re for it because it’s what Trump told you he wants, and you’ll accept and approve of anything he says he wants. You’d probably smile with pride as you watched him grab your wife or daughter by the pussy.

No big deal right Dan? Just another dead American at the hands of an illegal who shouldn't be here in the country.
Sure it does Dan. Under the Biden Administration the Mexican government has allowed and encouraged the Cartels free reign to facilitate illegal immigration. Politicians in Mexico are beholden to the Cartels much like our politicians are beholden to the wealthy élite in this country with the exception the Cartels are responsible for killing untold numbers of Americans each year. But all that is good with you as long as you have cheap goods.
Trump is playing a game of musical chairs, and you're lapping it up like a dog. You don't solve one crisis by creating a different one.
I've never had a problem admitting when I'm wrong. If you can't admit when you are wrong, you learn nothing.
End tariffs and the US Nationals who make the billion Rayovac double A and triple A batteries every year lose their jobs. Economics 101 is not a long suit for Hamas Dan.
Apparently Mexico's President has already said the caravans will stop. Amazing how easy it is to secure the border and save American lives, when you want to.Trump vows 25% import tariffs on Mexico and Canada amid border feud
President-elect attacks ‘ridiculous open borders’ and says he will sign order to impose tariffs on US neighborswww.theguardian.com
Trump said the tariffs would remain in place until the two countries clamp down on drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants crossing the border illegally.
Libs let the economics of their politics rule their lives. They cry about how Trump's tariffs could raise the price of iPhone made in China, and cripple the economy. But US sending half a trillion to the Ukraine never gets their attention.
If we ever have lunch together, as I hope we some day will, we can compare our understanding of Economics 101.
This is arguably the most intelligent thing you have posted on this board. You hit the nail on the head about Libs and economics. Regrettably MAGA economists seem to be as clueless as those that advise the Libs.
Wow, that's amazing! Trump, in your own words, has already secured the border! Who'da thunk it?
All that is well and good, but it doesn't need to happen at the expense of the businesses that make our economy the best in the world. As I said earlier, Trump is "solving" one problem while creating a new one.
You got that right.
Really want to twist the knife a bit more, especially for Mexico start taxing any remittance to Mexico at 25% also. That shitbag government only suvives because so many of it citizens receive USD subsidies from relatives working in the US. If you can prove your a US citizen then waive the remittance fee, otherwise as they say in Poland toughski shitski.
