Given all the world is in a panic about the declining stock market which the Global media is blaming on Donald Trumps New Tariffs, a friend knowing I support Donald Trump asked me if this economic downturn and chaos had shaken my support for Trump?

@TWikiriwhi
You would have voted for Trump. Would you now regret doing so?

What follows is my reply… I believe this is an important topic worthy of a Blog article.

I said…
Trump said he was looking at Tariffs before the election so he did not breach any election promises. I commented at the time that I generally support Trump for POTUS over the Corrupt and incompetent Kamala Harris. That was a no brainer.

I was surprised that Trump won… I guess his victory was too big to rig this time… and there was heavier scrutiny going on for 2024 than 2020… yet the sane half of the world have been wondering what diabolical plot the Globalists and Dems are plotting to destroy his presidency. Last time it was Covid 19 that was used to thwart the economic miracle of his first term.

Like Julius Caesar… Trump was surrounded by enemies posing as his friends… looking for opportunity to put the knife in. They tried to jail him and assassinate him. They slandered him and labeled him a felon… yet he still made it to the White house because of the overwhelming support he has with the American people.

Many Observers such as myself predicted the Globalists and Bankers would seek to collapse the economy this term… and blame Trump. So with this in mind I am not so quick to swallow the MSM narrative that the drops on the stock market can be wholly attributed to Trumps Tariffs. I believe The Bankers/ Black Rock/ the WEF / Soros are up to their ‘Puppet master tricks’ moving their billions about… creating market uncertainty, etc… and of course Just like the Dems have been encouraging violence and angst against Tesla … to punish Elon Musk for assisting Trump in dismantling their tower of corruption… they do not give a shit that they have put the peoples retirement funds into Tesla stock… so that millions of elder Americans now watch their Retirement funds tank as a result of Tesla stocks decline… Satan Laughing spreads his wings!… by such means from the shadows the evil powers are able to undermine Trumps popular support. 99% of this being their manipulations rather than Trumps Tariffs.

People are easily duped, esp when feeling a pinch themselves.

The Globalists are hell bent on trying to start World war 3 which would be another massive set back for America and Trumps Administration. He wants peace and stability… a quick end the The Ukraine War while Zelensky and Europe (and the WEF) are all agitating for an escalation)… No mention of what affects that might have on the Stock market aye????
Globalist Machiavellians tell their controlled media to blame everything on Trump!

And you buy it!

Of course Trumps Tariffs are having negative impacts on the US and the world. Just as I had already declared they would.

They are also having some beneficial results for America that will kick in and some point, yet the Media does not point this out… does not remind people of many of the unfair trade practices/ tariffs other countries were using against the US or that Trumps Tariffs were an attempt on his part to renegotiate such arrangements that were skewed against America.

Ie Trumps tariffs were supposed to be temporary.

But then I herd the moot that He might try instead of removing such tariffs as have been put on imports from New Zealand (10%) that instead he was thinking of chopping income tax. This would act to relieve Americans of any extra taxes they pay on tariffs, and fund the US Gov via import duties rather than income taxes. Which is how America used to function… with zero income tax until the early 20th century.

This idea would offset his tariffs burden on citizens and make the cost of Goods made in America cheaper, both on the domestic market and for export. (yet still many negative aspects of having tariffs would remain)
These are massive changes to an economy and in trade relations… yet we might understand Trumps bold moves are due to the ticking clock on his administration… before he leave the Whitehouse for good.

It’s ironic because in times past Tariffs were a preferred tactic of the Left! With the idea of protecting The employment of their own nation’s workforces from facing outside competition, yet we now have the Left bawking at Trump for seeking to do this very thing for American workers. If Trump started quoting Karl Marx they would still call him a Nazi!

If I was an American voter would I vote for Trump now?
Given the alternative was Kamala Harris my answer must be Hell yes! Not because I’m impervious to Trumps faults… But because just how close the Western world came to being overthrown by Globalist totalitarianism …. had she become president.
She is a total Sock Puppet.

America’s debt and the Global economy have been teetering on the edge of collapse for the past 15+ years.
Do you remember them talking about ‘the fiscal cliff’???
It is not a matter of If… but when… this mega collapse was going to hit… because none of the world powers seemed willing to make the painful changes necessary to stop the ship sinking.

Trump and Elon had done the Math and realised *they must do something!*.
They decided they would not carry on playing the game under the rules the Deep state and the Rino’s and Dems had created and that was leading the world into ruin.

They decided they would take on the corruption and dept knowing full well what a nest of vipers this would stir up… and that there would be some economic pain while they performed their surgery… The end result being a reduction of spending, a reduction of Dept, a reduction of Corruption and waste, and a more vibrant US infrastructure and economy. And a purged and purified Justice system. And an end to Woke and Climate slavery.

They have a first class team to help them do these things…

Yet they have a dedicated Ideological enemies who control the media and are hell bent on controlling all of the Narratives… all of the time… and using this they dupe billions into turning against what Trump is trying to do. … and you lap it all up… like… post… and share.

Myself I’m still on the Trump Train… Toot toot Bitches!

There are countless reasons why Trump’s Tariffs are not smart. Go read Adam Smith’s ‘Wealth of Nations’.

One of his delusions is this theory of the so-called ‘trade imbalance’ between the US and other nations.
The Idea being Other countries are selling their goods in the US marketplace, but not buying American goods in their own. This is partially correct, and yet this does not equate to the *negative Impact* for America he assumes, because… and here’s the kicker… the imbalance exists in the form of Cash… eg US Dollars which the other nation will use in trade deals with other nations …. they accept the US currency… and ultimately… no matter how many times that money is exchanged between other nations… that money will be used to buy US goods!
*balancing* Trade. That ultimately is why everyone accepts US dollars… or any other ‘preferred currency of exchange’.
Trump has stated he is jealous to ensure the US Dollar remains the Global currency of trade, and yet his Tariffs actually work to undermine the US Dollars dominance in global Trade.
