Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will

[TU Curmudgeon]

After scanning the news I should modify some comments I made earlier. Apparently Trump public threat has had a more immediate beneficial effect than I anticipated. Rather than getting strident and unyielding pushback it appears that both Canada's and Mexico's leaders bent the knee to the US.

Canada's Justin Trudeau has indicated he is willing to renegotiate security concerns,

Certainly, and when the US government can provide some actual evidence of some actual threat that can actually be reduced, Canada will be more than willing to see what can be done about it. Until then, expect some real "NAFTA2" level "wins" on the part of the US government.

and Mexico's president followed suit. Contrary in part to Trumps claim that Sheinbaum Parado has agreed to "effectively close the southern border' she has confirmed her "excellent" conversation with Trump and agreed to stop the migrant caravans from reaching the US.

That's strange. I mean

"Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has sought to clarify details of a conversation she had with US President-elect Donald Trump, after the two leaders offered differing accounts of the call.​

​

Following Wednesday's call, Trump said Sheinbaum had "agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border".​

​

This prompted Sheinbaum to say she had merely reiterated Mexico's position, which she said was "not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and people".​

This is, of course, only the opening positions of both parties and in negotiations I am sure Trump will expect more, especially from Mexico.

In any event, Trump demonstrated to Biden and Harris and the Democrats that this situation never had to be - had Biden the backbone or desire to stop the flood. It also demonstrates the insincerity of the administration on this issue.

Yep, as disconnected from reality as the first half of the post.

Not rocket science here. All economists know Trump will own his own personal inflation. All these dumb ****s that voted for him will be singing a different tune next spring.

PIFFLE. Evrewunknoz that any downturn in the US economy will be the result of the sinister plot of the Deep State and its fascist allies who call themselves "Democrats" but who are really communists in disguise.

At least that will be the officially approved, Donald John Trump {PBUH} endorsed, real, true, actual, truth as reliably revealed ONLY by the real, true, patriotic MAGA news sources.

America elected the dumbest president we have ever had.

Mr Trump is NOT "dumb", he is merely uneducated and ignorant.

The MAGA culties too stupid too understand the reality here either.

They understand that they are to be instantly laudatory of whatever the latest version of the currently operative, officially sanctioned, truth-of-the-day is.

Nobody will be paying for Trump's tariffs because there won't be any. Good grief people are gullible.
