Political Weirdos

"Trump is saying things that are moronic. That's not because he's a moron, he's only pretending to be a moron. That way other world leaders will think he's a moron who is too stupid to be reasoned with, so they'll cave to the demands of the person they think is a complete drooling numbskull. In summary, Trump is publicly pretending to be a moron, but really it's a genius strategy." This is like the exact opposite of occams razor. I literally don't understand how a grown adult writes all of that without immediately realizing how stupid it is and deleting it before posting on the Internet.

Oh, it's that Dilbert fucker isn't it?

I'd like to remind everyone that Scott Adams believes if you want something hard enough the universe will warp itself around that desire to fulfill it. If this had even a shred of truth to it I would have willed this man out of existence by now.

Yeah, I'm not reading that much Scott Adams word vomit.

Wow, even Scott Adams says Trump is full of shit.

So, there's a couple problems with tariffs.

First, they violate trade agreements that we're signatories to. That means that we get sanctions, and those sanctions cost us money.

Second, tariffs get passed to the end user. Yes, yes, in the very long run, high tariffs make it more profitable to build a manufacturing base domestically. In the long run. And assuming that the next administration doesn't sweep the tariffs away. In the short run, it's higher prices for consumers, because the increased cost gets passed along. In the long run, well, high tariffs are a shaky foundation to build a domestic business on, so it's unlikely that anyone is going to want to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in domestic manufacturing when it can all be made unprofitable and you can lose your investments, all with a stroke of a pen.

Yeah, we need a domestic manufacturing base rather than importing everything. Tariffs by themselves aren't going to do that.

By this logic, someone who believes the bees control all reality is the best president, because they can negotiate better since they profess obvious lies

Vote for me in 2028 the bees command it

There's a good Behind the Bastards series in this douche nozzle.

LMAO!!!

I've observed this effect. Stupid people will dig their heels in and draw lines unreasonably and therefore are better at negotiating.

All the tariff will do is increase the cost of goods to the end consumer. It won't help anyone other than the federal government.

It’s kind of like a link to breitbart. I’ll allow it this once, but.

when did difficult negotiations become synonymous with beneficial?

the more attention parties have to put into a negotiation the less beneficial it will be in either direction. lawyers will suck up anything worth fighting for.
