Glorious day, looking forward to returning to the era of waking up to headlines like "President Trump does <thing>, thousands seethe in anger". Biden was fucking boring.

Thousands were seething at Biden daily. We just weren't allowed to be public about it. Thats why Trump really won.

I will be cautiously optimistic until him and Musk flood the country with young, male poojeets.

The Attorney General shall administer and effectuate the immediate issuance of certificates of pardon to all individuals described in section (b) above, and shall ensure that all individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, who are currently held in prison are released immediately. The Bureau of Prisons shall immediately implement all instructions from the Department of Justice regarding this directive.

I further direct the Attorney General to pursue dismissal with prejudice to the government of all pending indictments against individuals for their conduct related to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.

You forgot one of the most important factors for the decision for tariffs/autarchy: jobs. Which will in turn generate tax revenue and support the local economy. And if some particular economies outside of the US (the german one especially) suffer for it, due to retarded and corrupt decisions (through lobbyism), then let it be so.

I'm done with the current state of affairs in our country and I'm rather willing to suffer financially for a few years, instead of getting more and more rights taken away from me and having to play pretend for freakish pedophiles in dresses and being told that everything will be alright from incompetent, despotic retards.
Fuck it. Accelerate until the last citizen of this shithole will realize how bad things truly are.

The US is doing the right thing.

So, what tariffs do is injure the consumers within the toothbrush business, who are prevented from purchasing from more efficient competitors at a lower price. Also injured are the more efficient foreign firms and the consumers of all areas, who are deprived of the advantages of geographic specialization.
In a free market, what would happen is that the best resources will tend to be allocated to their most value-productive locations. For instance, you wouldn't produce oranges in Antarctica. Blocking interregional trade will force factors to obtain lower remuneration at less efficient and less value-productive tasks.

So, the problem with this is that not all countries excel at specialization.

If another country can produce goods for cheaper by paying their labor absolute bottom tier wages, then the consumer country must act in its own self-interest and protect its own workforce.
People are not just empty consumers, they need jobs to consume in the first place. More production = more jobs.

Additionally, this doesn't cover the nature of strategic industries, i.e. metal working or ship-building. The loses a strategic advantage against its enemies in Russia or China if it loses its ability to staff and develop strategic industries just because some 3rd world wagies will do it for cheaper oceans away.

I'm guessing the six actually punched people and did not very MAGA things, but they're all going home.

I do love Trump making the foreigner correspondants keep repeating their questions, I know what he's doing and I like it.

Genuine question with executive orders, the fact that I agree with a lot of what Trump’s doing aside is it not a glaring system issue that a President can essentially rewind a lot of what the last guy did?
Like, it’s good now but you never know what’s up a few years down the line.
