In reply to the discussion: Some Trump Voters Already Regret Their Decision Amid Concerns Over Tariffs, Job Cuts, and Rising Cost [View all]Farmer-Rick
(12,397 posts)9. Do people not understand how tariffs work?
Yeah, it will increase the price of everything (if it's a blanket tariff)
But in about 8 to 12 years, foreign factories will seriously consider moving their factories here to avoid the tariffs. If you notice when all those free trade agreements were passed and when we had the crash in 2007. That took about 12 years to seriously impact employment.
So, my guess is Pedo Trump is planning on being president for about 12 years.
But tariffs do work to bring in jobs. It just takes quite a few years
