How messed up are Trump Supporters?

Canadian government subsidized Canadian paper manufacturers, giving them an unfair advantage relative to US paper manufacturers.

US imposes a tariff on Canadian paper to level the playing field.

Why is that deplorable?

Your country never gets to lecture us about  unfair advantages and you bastards keep tariffs too . And if Trump thinks were bending to his bullying he's mistaken .

There is a difference between talking about politics and political tribalism .

I understand and am OK with the pendulum nature of American politics. That seems to be a big difference between me and you guys.

Tariffs have fuck all to do with that .

Yep, as they have for 40 years for the bottom half of earners.

If we limit immigration and encourage people to consider certain trades instead of pursuing expensive but useless college degrees, maybe that would change.

Yeah that the stupidest economic plan ever.That's literally something that someone who knows nothing about meta economics would say.

You're a troll, and we've all seen this shtick from you before. Bye-bye.

No he just spanks you every time and now you take your ball home

Yeah, when someone says "predictably," I take that as a prediction.

Pointing out a state of time is not a prediction as Khem pointed out

Even if the trade between the US and China completely shuts down, the impact on the Chinese economy will still be too little to cut significantly their long term growth prospects.  China is still expected to remain the primary source of the growth of world economy, contributing maybe 30-40% of the total world economic growth. Or maybe 2-3 times as much to world growth as either US or India.

The difference is the added demand from that growth will now be satisfied by japan, South Korea and Europe, rather than the US.

If the trade with China shuts down, that doesn’t mean america’s Overall trade imbalance will significantly improve.  Much of What China can sell to America at much lower prices than America can produce, others can also make much more cheaply than could the US.   And American demand for those would not reduce, so Aamerica’s Trade deficit with India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other countries somewhat behind China on the industrialization curve will now balloon to replace the trade deficit with China.

What is more, having been pissed off by the US, European countries, which are not strategic competition with China as the US is, will now likely relax the restrictions on sharing sensitive military technologies with China which the Europeans had wanted to do since 2005 in order for their native arm industries to profit from Chinese military buildup.   Previously European countries have kept those restrictions in place out of  solidarity with the US.  Now that solidarity is gone with the wind.

It’s not every day when a country can make not one, not two, but three large holes in its own foot with one shot.

Asked if Melania Trump’s parents obtained citizenship through family-based immigration, sometimes called “chain migration,” their lawyer said, “I suppose."

Why didn't anyone complain about other countries' tariffs on US goods before Trump started his?

America has always had tariffs and subsidizes industries and thus it hypocritical for him to complain about tariffs and even more so to then put more up . 

Seems like Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Nope as no such syndrome exists

[Amarok]

One more observation isn't it funny how Alpha Fail  chides people for supposedly supporting an outdated industry when he supports a president who want to keep dying industry alive at the cost of other ones . Of course he's only doing it to defend his failure president.

Trump Defense Derangement Syndrome?
