Trump Tariffs – Is it the big issue the media is implying?
I’m not so sure. Is it just another reason to dislike Trump?
“Strange old world. Innit?”
The left-wing socialist media is up in arms at DTs latest outrageous behaviour of imposing tariffs on goods imported into the USA.
But what is he doing that is so different from every other country?
Virtually all countries impose tariffs of some sort already on imported goods to protect their own economy and home-grown businesses. The UK does it, the EU does it. Every country of note does it.
So why the big furore? Isn’t it more a reason to have a go at the controversial DT?
If you don’t agree with him, it appears to be just another reason to pile in. However, I’m not sure many Americans think the same way as the global media.
The global stock markets have fallen about 5% – more than any other fall since Covid – Wow.
But surely, they will recover. They usually do. Time will tell.
The socialist media celebs are pouring their hearts out with indignation.
Why should they worry? The fat cats they despise are surely just getting their comeuppance.
The call for reciprocal tariffs on imported USA goods is purely a political knee jerk reaction, which would ultimately result in consumers paying more. An action that is not worthy of any right-minded thinking individual.
DT has a reputation for impulsive action. There is no good reason to mimic him and to implement tit for tat reprisals.
The UK should take advantage of the situation. As the UK has only 10% – rather low compared with other countries, and the EU – they should seek to entice the businesses hit by other countries to sell their goods here. Plus, to take advantage of the benefits while importing to the USA. If you have a good product, the consumer will buy it, especially when compared with the other increases imposed on other countries.
So, what should we all do? Well, as usual, we have no say in matters, we just have to accept things and get on with life.
Let be honest, RR has not helped us much in the UK and I guess she will be quite pleased that the attention has moved away from her incompetence. Well, at least for a short time.
In the end, the poor old consumer pays for what he wants and gets regardless of what the media says.
