It does not matter what he says. His acolytes simply don't mind or care about what he says. It is truly a cult.

Another insane idea from an insane person.
He does not understand that tariffs affect the BUYER, not the seller.

[Suliso]

Of course, but the tariffs are meant to discourage buying from a certain seller and encourage buying something else or from someone else.

Manufacturing is moribund if not dead in the US. Clothing, lots of food products, protein and vegetable, are imported from overseas. I wonder who is going to be discouraged from buying what. It's one of the right wing ideas that sound good in theory but in the end hurt those who are least able to afford the price hikes.

[ti-amie]

None of these will be asked but good points being made here.

If it was elected, I might be amenable to jailing publishers who couldn't publish the truth about him.

I don't think this is true. Of course low end manufacturing is not there, but US produces a lot of stuff otherwise.

[ponchi101]

But the idea is ridiculous. You are basically saying you will impose 100% tariffs on the EU, Japan and China, none of which uses the dollar as their reserve currency. Their own currencies are reserve currencies.
He simply does not understand markets. And we know he is a lousy business men.

[Suliso]

His idea is nonsense indeed. I just commented on tarifs in general.
