@TrendPolCa Trump is religiously committed to tariffs and retains all power on them through Jan 2029. Congress will pass bills on it. Trump wonโt sign them. Status quo. Trump had an incentive to make a deal before the election. That had expired.
@kykhan5@reieurope The Dems arenโt close to 2/3 in the house or the senate. The parties are pretty locked in against each other. For example, the current Republican senate wasnt able to pick off enough Democrats to get to 60. To break a veto is 67. They only have 54.
@Victori49569624 There is zero chance of getting 3/4 or 2/3 in the house in senate. The republicans couldnโt peel off enough Dems to get above 60 on anything. They are not going to get 67 on the other side. The parties are pretty locked in.
@SobonBet@Dave_Hebert Cheap products doesnโt equal a robust economy. 3.4% GDP growth, low unemployment, tens of thousands of new manufacturing jobs and trillions of new investment dollars does.
@veroderugy@Dave_Hebert Cheap products doesnโt equal a robust economy. 3.4% GDP growth, low unemployment, tens of thousands of new manufacturing jobs and trillions in new business investments do.
@jnoisecat How did he play the tariffs correctly. Everyone else made a deal and kept low rates. Canada didnโt and now there is no incentive for Trump to give them a better deal.
@DougSaunders Canadaโs strategy baffles me. Trump has some political incentive to make a better deal for Canada before the midterms. Now that incentive is gone. He still absolutely controls tariffs until January 2029. They chose symbolism over outcomes.
@RepDonBacon Cheap products doesnโt equal a robust economy. Inflation is stable. Trillions of new manufacturing investment, tens of thousands of new jobs, low unemployment, 3.4% GDP growth say the strategy is working.
@thatjenmonroe Inflation is low. Gas prices coming down. The Trade strategy added tens of thousands of new manufacturing jobs, low unemployment and 3.4% GDP growth. Cheap products doesnโt equal a robust economy.
