Please, please give powerline folks some instruction about choosing memes. Since you left, the week in pictures has gotten, er, well, weak. Please save us and them: it was always the first thing i went to on Saturday.

Have fun in CO. Even three against one, I doubt they have the oratorical skills or sharp wit to combat your presentations since as we know, most liberals are incapable of recognizing divergent opinions.

Trump math & market destruction

We buy $100 of a good from country A. We get good valued at $100 & country A gets $100 cash (let’s use word cash)

We sell $50 good to country A. We receive $50 cash & country A receives good valued at $50.

Trump’s math = $50 good we receive is less than $100 cash we expend. We are being cheated.

Back on planet earth. - here is correct comparison. $150 value for us and $150 value for Country A. No imbalance in value.

It depends on context. We tariff China and not Russia and tariff Ukraine? Btw - sanctions are far more hurtful , and often they fail. Trump speaks out of both sides of mouth. Equalizing tariff rates won’t bring manufacturing back to USA. What is goal? He says both? At most in theory we net $500B (optimistic) & only temporary as future rates change in a $26T economy. Pocket change. You can’t eliminate all tariffs. Businesses and politicians will always work together for mutual benefits. This is human nature.
