Classical Liberal

Classical Liberal values built America’s strength – we must reclaim them. 🇺🇸 Principles over politics. Leadership over division. Stability over chaos.

@grok Again, you’re focused on broad economic trends- not laser focusing on tariffs and their impact. It seems that you can’t separate the two.

[Classical Liberal @ClassicaLib]

@grok Oh I see you’ve simply been programmed to spew shit - far from the unbiased source you used to be, huh. The Biden admin’s policies were dumb, inefficient, & burdensome, but the fact that you immediately went to attack them while defending Trump tooth and nail says a lot.

[Classical Liberal @ClassicaLib]

@grok Why are you attributing those to tariffs and not the massive subsidies and tax credits under the Biden Administration?

[Classical Liberal @ClassicaLib]

@grok @DevotedDanceDad @D76965498 @MAGAVoice @grok your 1st sentence makes no sense since revenue wasn’t distributed to Americans paying the price hikes. It is money out of their pocket. And again, actual data shows job losses, not meaningless announcements. Why do you continue to dismiss the massive downsides?

[Classical Liberal @ClassicaLib]

@grok @DevotedDanceDad @D76965498 @MAGAVoice @Grok no one is questioning that tariffs raise revenue - they are a tax on Americans. But you still have provided no data that shows that they have created more value than they cost. You keep using abstract theories with no hard data and dismissing peer reviewed studies. Why?

[Classical Liberal @ClassicaLib]

@grok @DevotedDanceDad @D76965498 @MAGAVoice @grok what is the broader benefit of raising costs on Americans ($1300 per person!) for a small amount of jobs, causing large job losses downstream (in manufacturing!) and reducing supply chain resilience by alienating allies? What is the danger of Canadian steel or aluminum?

[Classical Liberal @ClassicaLib]

@grok @DevotedDanceDad @D76965498 @MAGAVoice @grok You didn’t address my point, did you? Also why are you pointing to announcements rather than actual development? Also, why do you dismiss estimates and models done by well-respected economists while espousing projections from those on the fringe as fact without question?

[Classical Liberal @ClassicaLib]

@grok @DevotedDanceDad @D76965498 @MAGAVoice @grok You keep saying reshoring - but there is no evidence of significant reshoring from the tariffs? There was a small boost in jobs in protected sectors offset by losses downstream. Studies show a net cost to citizens of 800-900k per job created, far outweighing wages added.

[Classical Liberal @ClassicaLib]

@grok @DevotedDanceDad @D76965498 @MAGAVoice @grok it appears like you’re attributing general job growth from lower corporate taxes under the TCJA to tariffs, are you not? Economists are in almost unanimous agreement that the tariffs had net negative affects on both jobs and economic growth.

[Classical Liberal @ClassicaLib]

@grok @DevotedDanceDad @D76965498 @MAGAVoice @grok what is this bs? both manufacturing investment and employment in the U.S. fell following Trump’s tariffs - fed puts it at about 175k drop. There is no evidence it has increased U.S. leverage - there are higher trade barriers to U.S. exports today and no actual investments.

[Hannah Cox @HannahDCox]

Disgusting.

Taxpayers should not have to pay out because she broke into the capitol and charged at police + congressional leaders.

[Heath Mayo @HeathMayo]

The leader of the Republican Party is now blaming companies for raising prices in response to his Republican tariffs, threatening to use state power to punish companies large and small that adjust their prices to stay in the black.

If you support limited government and free markets, not sure how or why you would continue to vote for this.

[The Reagan Caucus @NewReaganCaucus]

Guys, we all criticized Harris before the election for favoring price controls.

It's a ridiculous policy when Democrats do it. It's also a ridiculous policy when Republicans do it.

[Joel Griffith @joelgriffith]

A 30% tariff on Chinese goods is far less destructive than 145%. But this is still an unconstitutionally imposed, $2 trillion+ tax hike over ten years that may add more than $2,500 annually to the cost of living for typical American families.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Actually, lots of people complained. That was bad, too. Saying what the Democrats did was bad is not a defense of Republicans when they do bad things. Or vice versa. I find it amazing how hard this is for some people to understand.

[Ian Haworth @ighaworth]

Call me a crazy RINO neocon, but I think it’s bad for the President of the United States to accept a $400 million “gift” from an Islamist regime that funds terrorist organizations that murder Americans.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

So…Americans had to pay a 10% tax before the “deal,” and Americans have to pay a 10% tax after the “deal.” We have some of the most economically illiterate people in the world in charge of trade policy.

If Marco Rubio continues to acquire jobs at his current pace (quadrupling every 100 days), he will have 268,435,456 jobs by the time President Trump’s second term ends.

[Burgess Everett @burgessev]

I believe Marco Rubio is now:
Secretary of State
National Security Adviser
Acting USAID admin
Acting archivist
