So anyone who supports Trump's policy on tariffs is stupid until they make the decision to educate themself on the topic; because if you support Trump because of his tariffs, you are supporting rising costs of living for yourself and no matter how you want to slice it, that is stupid and especially stupid if you don't have much money to begin with. |
Yes, targeted tariffs can be okay but Trump is too stupid for that. Trump's trade war with China was widely considered a complete failure and severely hurt American farmers, this dumbass bankrupted casinos, are we really going to trust this dude to go wild with tariffs on everyone? He has called for an across-the-board tariff of 20% on all imports into the US and on top of that he is suggesting to replace income taxes with tariffs which is impossible, it is stupid to believe that tariffs can replace income tax and yet Trump is suggesting it.
Tariffs would need to be so high but that would just result in imports to America collapsing and therefore less tariff revenue and no income tax, which results in less public spending, how the heck will America pay for their military, infrastructure, police force, healthcare, energy, etc. The rich would benefit the most from this whilst the elderly and poor will die and America's national debt will increase by a crazy amount. It is not mathematically or rather, logically, possible for tariffs to replace income tax.
