You can always choose to not buy products from other countries, you know.

Depending on what you're in the market for, that's easier said than done. I've been trying to find products that are Made in America whenever I shop online, and a lot of the time, it's pretty slim pickings. Hopefully, that will be changing soon.

Nope, not easy, but always worth trying

Like coffee? Electronics? Clothing? Cars? Even the stuff that is made here has parts or machinery made in other countries which trickles down from the lightbulbs to the trucks that transport things. Did you see the pricing estimate of what it would cost for an iPhone to be made here in the US? This is inflation that will cause a ratchet in pricing that won't go down to the original even after Trump removes these.

A very simple solution, don’t buy an iPhone.

LOL -- can you name a phone produced in the U.S.A.? If there is one (which is doubtful), is it made from more than 50% American parts?

Does your life require a cell phone attached to your ear?

"Like coffee? Electronics? Clothing? Cars?"

Yes, yes, yes, and absolutely YES!

You do realize that you just admitted what's really going on, right? You admitted that dems are told what to consume by their overlords in the dem party party leadership and the tiny minority upper crust elites. I don't know about you, but I don't like politicians telling me what to buy, and from where.

That hardly sounds like freedom.

"Even the stuff that is made here has parts or machinery made in other countries..."

Okay, you're getting there, albeit slowly. If the demonrat elites actually cared about American workers, they would applaud Trump for bringing manufacturing back to our great country. But they aren't. Stop and ask yourself why? (hint: take a look at it from a globalists' perspective)

These tariffs are not just aimed at countries, they're aimed at companies. If these companies want to bring down the cost of their product (i.e. compete fairly with American made products) they need to build their factories here; use US made components. Move their R&D here, etc.

Since WWI, administration after administration has allowed US jobs to be shipped overseas, and allowed other countries to hit us with HUGE tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers while we impose none on them, or small amounts like 2%.

Trump didn't start this trade war, but he's going to finish it. And its US workers and consumers who will benefit the most.

I get it, I really do. Over reaction by US and foreign markets has us all a bit on edge. Especially the top 10% who own 93% of all stocks.

But these things take time. It took us a long time to get in this mess with trade and a nearly $37 TRILLION deficit. It can't be fixed overnight, which doesn't fit well into the 'instant gratification' mentality of our current culture.

So, a little patience will go a long way. Countries are lining up to strike trade deals with us now. Although you might not know about that since the media will either not report it, or barely report it. Dig deeper Octavia, and open your eyes to their lies. I've been telling you that for years now.

You can still buy baseballs made in America…Rawlings isn’t the only place on the planet that they are made.

Who said I hate the MLB ( I very seldom watch it, but that doesn’t mean I hate it) since I was thinking what you said about no T-ball. Those kids can play ball without having to buy their equipment from foreign countries.

Fear mongering?

Chicken Little syndrome?

Is that all the swamp creatures and RINOs have left?

(hint: the answer certainly appears to be YES)

Why do you hate American products so much, pl?

I love it!

Whichever country that last guy represents, will get the WORST deal that Trump can imagine!

I think that guy at the end of the line is the trade negotiator from China...

Octavia, since we haven't exchanged ideas in a while, I think you must have forgotten that my view of bold statements without fact, to support one's opinion, are just like... and everybody has one.

How did the US get money to operate the govt before the IRS was invented to steal it from us?

very true. good point.

That isn’t what was said. You know it, I know it, the entire audience knows it, but you still seemed to think that it in someway means what I said isn’t true.

Good grief, I'm Octavia...

And fwiw, didn't you mean 'form complete thoughts'?

Meh, only marginally better.

This is not the same Octavia! I know the real Octavia user, and this is not him. This is someone else who decided to use the same name just to troll the whole website into thinking it is him.

if you really knew small-minded, ill-informed, hateful, racist Octavia...
then you would know that he is a she...

The character the name is based off of is a she.

But I actually met him IRL, he and I met up at a convention in my hometown, and we've hung out a few times since. He's a really cool guy... when he's not arguing politics!

CNN’s Harry Enten Shares Latest Poll On President Trump: “He Ain’t No Lame Duck… He’s a Soaring Eagle!”

Yep. His numbers are higher *since* announcing the tariffs.

Nobody who leans left will hear that from demonrat the bought and paid for media though, that's for damn sure.

still posting links to articles written by those who have the most to lose when American workers and the middle class succeed, hey pl? (that's the top 10% who own 93% of the stocks in our markets, btw... in case you were unaware, which would seem like a safe bet...)
