World leaders do not take Donald Trump seriously at all. They laugh at him. They always have.





^^^^ This is the time that the United Nation's General Assembly laughed at Trump ^^^^


.... after one of his wild boasts. Regardless of what high esteem you wish to believe Donald Trump has .... the reality is that he has never been anything but a source of ridicule around the world. He is a joke. Nobody respects him.

The widgets made in America already cost more, so now that's the only option and you still have inflation because you effectively removed the cheaper alternatives altogether. In this scenario, we end up with higher average prices and no tariff revenue.

And it's not just "cheap Chinese ****." You have in your head cheap finished products. Steel is an input good. China makes good steel which we then put in our cars in American manufacturing plants that employ Americans. It supports American jobs. You raise the cost of steel, you raise the cost of American cars...you raise the cost of everything in America made of steel.

We used to produce a lot of steel here. Since we don't, I guess it is about cheap Chinese ****.

Shockwave in Washington: WaPo Editorial Board Endorses 19 Trump Nominees​


View attachment 714692

In a surprising shift, a liberal outlet’s editorial board issued a mass endorsement of 19 of President-elect Donald Trump’s judicial nominees— a move that has so many Democrat bureaucrats resistant to his picks. While the liberal-leaning newspaper has often been critical of Trump, this endorsement highlights his picks' quality and sound qualifications, many of whom have been praised for their expertise and commitment to the Constitution. The decision also signals a potential turning point in the broader political landscape, as even some traditionally left-leaning outlets acknowledge the lasting impact of Trump’s legacy.


The Washington Post’s editorial board published a detailed chart demonstrating a readiness to assess nominees based on their qualifications and potential performance rather than adhering to partisan biases. Despite spending the past eight years attacking Trump and warning about his so-called threat to “democracy,” the WaPo acknowledged that the incoming president deserves recognition in forming his administration.

The liberal outlet deemed 19 of the 23 individuals “acceptable” for the perspective roles, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R), who is being considered for Trump’s Secretary of State; former Attorney General Pam Bondi, who would head the Justice Department; and former Gov. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.), who would lead Homeland Security.

On the other hand, the editorial board viewed Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s pick for the Director of National Intelligence, and Russell Vought, the president-elect’s top choice for the Office of Management and Budget, as unfit to serve in the incoming administration.

Correct. There are two types on non-right wing groups here on VN:

1) People that believe there are no tariffs on any goods coming into the USA
2) People that have recently found out about them but scream at the sky because Robert Reich said tariffs were bad

You are looking at it in a vacuum, the printing press further causes inflation.... matter of fact, that is the primary driver of inflation of the money supply as the private sector is no longer creating new credit at a fast enough pace.
You are oversimplifying the current and future problems that exist, and picking one component to fit a narrative.

The financial system is a con, a fraud, a scam.

I say impose tariffs, and get rid of personal income tax which is the legal way imo of implying income tax i.e. corporate profits. Let them pay the bills by printing, which is what is happening today i.e. inflation of the money supply by the government sector.

All of this is on borrowed time right?

Right now you are simply printing the money, there really isn't much of a difference i.e. the private sector can no longer keep up with the equation which will require more and more government deficits and spending.

Humans have limited to no ability to keep up with the equation i.e. eventual collapse, rinse and repeat. Once you attach interest to your medium of exchange, borrowed time. This cycle went into overtime in the 2008-2010 range, which will require the equivalent of God like power i.e. unlimited power to sustain going forward.

What happens if it was all a lie? How can you grow the money supply exponentially long-term? The whole crazy right and left winger stuff doesn't address the fundamental problem which has no solution other than collapse i.e. reset. My guess is reset within 2-20 years unless someone has God like powers.

The only thing these clowns can do is... limit the amount of impeding supply growth i.e. production.

I think he gets to deal with them every day. You may be unaware, but I believe he has received a very dire prognosis. We will have to disagree, as I do not believe it is our place to do as suggested here.

Of course there are other factors with inflation, and I didn't say otherwise.

What you say doesn't matter to this conversation. We're talking about what's happening, not what you'd like in a perfect. Our leaders will never get rid of income tax. However, we live in a world where our leaders do lift tariffs, so I'm gonna keep fighting for that, and you keep hoping for something that's never going to happen.

No you are not discussing what is happening, you are speculating as to what might happen and you are not providing any real connection between cause and effect to where one can have a discussion.

Heck, just enjoy the thought that the Murderer will most likely be removed from the White House in the not too distant future.

you keep hoping for something that's never going to happen.

Actually, I can't (edit) say I am hoping for it.... I would give a thumbs up to it. None of this is going to save the system, that's not possible other than short term.
