    Maybe lets wait for those tariffs to be actually imposed first before losing our minds over it.

        I’ve found life to be slightly less stressfull when you stop worrying about this that you 1. can’t do anything about and 2. likely wont even happen.

        The world was supposed to end in 2016 when he got elected and I bought into that. It didn’t. I’ll be a bit more sceptical this time around.

      As a small business owner I will likely have to completely shut down if/when tariffs are imposed, so yeah, this isn’t about paying more for a video game for many of us.

        I’m still waiting for the wall to be built with Mexican money. Just because Trump says he’s going to do something doesn’t mean he actually will. I don’t care what liars say, I care what they do.

          He did it before and he’ll do it again. The last round of tariffs was backbreaking and this one will be worse.

          I work for a small business and we’re still doing okay but all those tariffs get passed directly to consumers. If it costs 7.5% more to import something, it will get sold for 7.5% more.

          And that is the low end of tariffs.

      Fool of a president previously imposes tariffs and you expect him to not do it again? How dumb are you?

        How dumb are you?

        I could ask you the same thing for expecting me to answer to a question that ends like this. Now you just end on the blocklist with the rest of the incivil jerks.
