Current Events > Donald Trump to China: Want to avoid Tariffs? Make goods and products in the USA

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1127210559059972099
Such an easy way to avoid Tariffs? Make or produce your goods and products in the good old USA. Its very simple!

Does this clown not realize that labor costs in the United States is 4-5 times more expensive than in China? The money from tariffs does not go straight to the US treasury as this buffoon believes. It's consumers who pay for tariffs when they pay more for goods in their local retail store.

If Mr. Conservative Donald Dump wants manufacturers relocating their factories to the United States, how about cutting spending? How about lowering the minimum wage? How about not spending any more money on social security, medicare, medicaid, and the military? Why not abolish social security since it's practically useless?

Wow that OP went off the rails quickly

Because those would be bad ideas

It's bad enough with all the flip-flopping, but now he's blatantly lying. Yeah he is supposedly having great talks with President Xi, but the tariffs are still in place.

It's consumers who pay for tariffs when they pay more for goods in their local retail store.

Alternatively, let's buy more American goods.

Honestly I'm not a Trump supporter but the fact he's standing up to China is nothing but a good thing.

I don't think Americans realize how big a threat China are.

They are going to be the world's Superpower in a matter of decades and if we roll over now, the more powerful they will be.

I don't get why the west seems blind to what China is doing.

A lot of British people don't consider themselves European.

I remember when I was in London once and they had one line for "British" and one for "Europeans" and I was like "Erm... you do realize.... You know what never mind."

It's a terrible thing, the reason why jobs are being shipped overseas has to with the US government artificially increasing labor cost in the United States by raising the minimum wage, adding all sorts of regulations such as environmental laws and anti-discrimination laws and payroll taxes. In China there is no payroll taxes, there is no environmental regulations and the minimum wage is extremely low. So companies save money by producing goods outside the US such as China. For example sometimes when you get customer support from Amazon, HP, Microsoft, it's an Indian person speaking English.

And Trump's tariffs against China backfired, all it does is raise the price of consumers good that we buy since most of it is made from China.

Neither China nor any other sovereign nation pays tariffs to the United States. Rather, they are collected by Customs and Border Protection from importers manufacturers, wholesalers or even private individuals.
Goods manufactured in the United States using Chinese parts will be more expensive now, as will retail items that were made entirely in China. The vast majority of those higher costs will be borne by consumers, economists from across the political spectrum agree.

Trump knows nothing about trade, economics, or government he is a complete buffoon. And the person I quoted was an economic advisor to Joe Biden.

I think the tc is saying, just keep fucking us because why not?

Getting rid of the minimum wage, having a free market in health care, and abolishing social security would not make us a 3rd world country.

In 2018 it cost $4.3 trillion just to fund the federal government, and the budget deficit was at $1.3 trillion dollars. We have to cut spending, we have to deregulate, we have to lower taxes.

Trump lowered taxes but he didn't cut any spending, so those taxes that Trump cut which were used to pay the federal budget, we are now paying it through inflation.
