Discussion: Trump Sticks It To 'Stupid Trade' By Flaunting 'Made In America' Products

Trade analysts say the United States has not pursued such aggressive trade policies in decades.

Yeah … there’s a reason for that.

What a master manipulator! How fiendishly clever, to stop people talking about your criminal conspiracies by making noise about the policies that are merely disastrous.

I assume nothing from the Ivanka collection was showcased?

Nor were many of the other “Trump” products. Wonder how much of a tariff Ivanka, inc is having to pay (best guess…zero)

Trump sure is opening himself up to ridicule by doing this…all his campaign stuff is made overseas, as are his campaign support hackers.

What sucks is that all of the effort by the Obama administration to save the auto industry is likely going to be undone by these tariffs…that’s going to be a huge blow to the economy and hurt a lot of people. I wonder if they will finally realize that Obama helped them with his policies, and that Republicans have hurt them.

Dear media (and everyone else) – update your language. “Tariff” is just an antiquated term for “tax”. The dynamics of the conversation will change rather quickly if the narrative is:

Trump has raised taxes by more than $100 million and is threatening to raised them again by another $500 million (while Republicans do nothing).

Corporations & rich insiders get GOP tax cuts. The rest of us get a border tax on consumer goods, higher prices, stagnant wages, cuts to basic services and babies in cages.

Thanks Trump. #MAGA

None of those Made in America products were Trump branded. Does he really think people aren’t going to ask why none of his or Ivanka’s crap is made in America?

I’m a little late to the party, but I was wondering just who we going to trade Stupid for?

The F-35 program, for one, has huge amounts of “industrial offset” (i.e., foreign value-add content) in order to sell it to the foreign countries who demand a piece of the pie.

I’m betting the window sticker on an F-150 does not claim 100% US & Canada content. Anybody looked at one recently?

Nobody wants him.

Exactly!!! Maybe we can tie a big red bow around him and give him to Putin.
