I worst thing any country,in the world can do is to retaliate on the the Trump tariffs.............

Resistance is futile ..Save your country and make a deal ...quick..

One of the central claims of free trade itself—that production migrates to wherever it’s most efficient.

This will never change..........as long as the country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state

You are not rude ,,,just misinformed......

As most people know who are following this thread...........The US does not trade with Russia and Belarus and that they were under sanctions..... and because there was no meaningful trade with the 4 nations ..... that why they were not included ...

General Motors (GM) plans to expand production at of light-duty trucks at the automaker’s Fort Wayne Assembly Plant in Indiana, one of its plants in Indiana thanks to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign-made cars.

On Wednesday evening, Trump announced a 25% tariff on all foreign-made cars to protect the nation’s auto industry from unfair trade competition.

President Trump bringing back production to America..

Russia, Belarus ,North Korea  and Cuba are not subject to the Reciprocal Tariff Executive Order because they are already facing extremely high tariffs..

Trump's tariff plan includes a 10% baseline tariff on goods from all countries, a dramatic shift in current U.S. trade policy.

The baseline tariff applies to about 185 countries in all,

Trump said he is imposing additional tailored tariffs on about 60 countries that contribute the most to the U.S. trade deficit and have placed the most barriers on U.S. exports.

"In many cases, the friend is worse than the foe in terms of trade," Trump has said.

The U.S. had an overall trade deficit of $918.4 billion — an increase of $133.5 billion — in 2024.

China, the latest import tax of 34% comes on top of a 20% tariff on Chinese imports that the second Trump administration already put into effect — so the total Trump 2.0 duty on China now stands at 54%.

Now ,that tariffs are starting to kick-in..Things could get reeeeal hairy out there...

I Pray ,,,President Trump knows what he's doing

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), whose net worth is estimated at around $250 million... Her husband, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, has made highly profitable investments in major companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Netflix—often coinciding with legislative developments. Hmmm!

With a federal workforce is about 3 million people as of November 2024, excluding the Postal Service and the military.

So, getting rid of 10/15% of them shouldn't be a  major concern..

According to Musk and DOGE officials, the number of firings is minimal, with most federal employees leaving voluntarily or temps ..

Less than 0.15% of the federal workforce had received a "Reduction in Force....

You are smelling yourself............

The U.S. Constitution, is a “living document” amended 27 times to balance stability and societal progress.

 It can be Amended ...so can amendments they have been repealed,in the past..

Repealing an amendment, as was done with ending Prohibition, requires a proposal by two-thirds of the House and Senate, or by a constitutional convention by three-fourths of the state legislatures (or 38 states.) Then three-quarters of the states have to vote in favor of ratification.

Many things are possible is you apply the right method ...

I can ID with Trump in this statement ..he was in his 50's..when I was in my 50's ,,if my dick even touched my thigh I'd get a chummy..

Side note : I have known some ugly chicks who had some great poontang..

You got that wrong ....again ..That's you saying that,,as in " we are 100% still better than you " in your above post ....

We're better than you ............... We're better than you....   

We're better than you ............... We're better than you....   

Of course,that is true...

However,some hands are cleaner than others..
