I didnt do nuffin.

I apologize for the rape and pillage of the United States of America

>>25772435 When was the last time you took advantage of an American? I sold a vinyl record to one last month.

USA EAT SHIT

>>25772445 yes you did

There is a reason Trump is resorting to tarriffs to address our trade deficit problems. It's because the solutions other countries use don't work for us. Normally, a country facing long-term trade deficits like we have would devalue their currency to make their products more competitive domestically and internationally. This doesn't work for the US for the very reason thirdies claim the US has some unique advantage: The Dollar's status as preferred reserve and trade currency. The dollar is basically the standard that everyone values their currency relative to. When the dollar supply goes up, every other country increases their money supply to match. This is what Trump is alluding to in the quote.

>>25772495 what a strange looking dog

>>25772568 I don't geddit. I'm not clever enough to understand this post

>>25772632 Because the dollar is used to trade, when the dollar is devalued others devalue their currency as well, thus keeping the dollar at a devalued level is harder

Like Pissrael that has over 30% tariffs on the US. Everyone can put tariffs on the US but it can't retaliate, huh. Go figure.

>>25772645 I see thanks for dumbing it down for me

>>25772645 Basically the rest of the world, collectively, has more control over the value of the Dollar than the US Government does. Arguably, given our trade deficit, the Dollar is consistently overvalued. Our trading partners want to keep it this way to maintain a competitive advantage.

Excüseh

Isn't this a true rape?

>>25772692 Damn, I'm not opening my brokerage account. Until like 2027.

>>25772568 America getting back more than you give is a problem for who? It's foreigners getting ripped off on trade. America's totally capable of running an extreme welfare state because the Feds can get a free lunch from foreigners but doesn't want to. Foreign demand for dollars can be regulated and foreign dollar holders actually can be taxed in a lot of ways. Taxing American imports is just retarded and hurts consumers/businesses using cheap imported materials/etc. The issue is how all the globalist institutions like IMF/World Bank were setup by America to promote free capital movement and the natural result is extreme imbalance... Keynes said that would happen but the alternative is sorts of organized managed trade that blumpf isn't building institutions to create, Trump just is trying to flip America into surplus from deficit but trying to everyone else into permanent trade deficits won't work >This is what Trump is alluding to in the quote. No he's not, you're sanewashing >>25772681 >Basically the rest of the world, collectively, has more control over the value of the Dollar than the US Government does. No it doesn't, foreigners trying to pump dollar can't beat the Feds if they really want to devalue.

>>25772704 What happened to the finn who kept spamming his shares? I'll tell you what happeneds, he took screenshots instead of taking profit

I'm sorry for raping pillaging and plundering the USA

Trumps wants this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Import_substitution_industrialization But the world moved on ever since, US is too dependent and integrated to the global market and supply chains to address that. They would had more luck trying to foster a revolution or civil war in China to stop their factories on it's tracks than try to turn back the dials and made all to be "made in USA".

>>25772782 There's no fundamental reason for the US to be consistently running trade deficits with all that our economy has going for it. The problem is that our currency is overvalued and we can't do anything about that because our trade partners won't allow it.

>>25772934 There's no fundamental reason to care about a trade deficit in the first place.

>>25772949 trade deficit is rape

>>25772949 If you want to have a well-rounded economy with employment at all levels, there certainly is. As it is now the American worker is losing income to foreigners who then use it to buy up assets here. That's why the stock market and real estate markets do well while working class incomes stagnate.

Raped, yes, but with love, with love!

Why aren't europoors and japs buying Ford F150s?

>>25773039 >the American worker is losing income to foreigners For the trillionth time, wages are higher and goods are cheaper in the US than in any country you're thinking of. And middle class incomes in the US are far from stagnant, in fact the gap in purchasing power between the US and the rest of the world is *increasing* over time.

>>25772934 >There's no fundamental reason for the US to be consistently running trade deficits with all that our economy has going for it. Yes there is. American is rich and Americans like buying cheap stuff and getting deals. You could stop buying and importing stuff and save more but America running a surplus is what's really impossible. How the hell are you going to sell more to the turd world than you buy? >The problem is that our currency is overvalued and we can't do anything about that because our trade partners won't allow it. You could literally spend more money. If America bought even more the dollar would decline. That's all you need to do, the government could deficit spend on some mega projects like high speed rail and the dollar would weaken. Much better than taxing imports

>>25773370 Our apparent wealth is financed by selling assets and debt and magnified by an unnaturally inflated currency. This is not sustainable. Previous administrations were content to kick the can down the road, Trump is not.

US has not much to offer that i want to buy. How is that rape?

>>25773355 You cant even find parking in a regular sized car now imagine having a F150. Sometimes i see Ford Rangers here and they stand out already. Also gas prices.

If you refuse to fuck a dirty whore that is now considered rape.

Dont care

>>25772445 Germany must pay for this!

>>25773964 Ford Ranger is a good truck. But it’s funny as it’s like the smallest one in America. And there is considered yuge over there. What’s the point of WW2 if energy prices are so high? And especially with no Russian gas depot.

>>25774064 My slightly lifted S10 is shorter overall and narrower than the average SUV. People who bitch about small pickups have never really compared one side by side with everything else on the road.

Interesting. We saw Versailles syndrome from a country who lost the war but was not obliged to pay reparations or follow any demilitarization requirements. On the contrary, the USA helped it to get all Sovok nuclear weapons. But now we see Versailles syndrome from a country who won the 20th century. I never saw so much ressentiment from American based on fucking nothing.

>>25774077 It doesn’t get good gas mileage. And not lifted you get what, 18 miles to the gallon? Which isn’t good. I don’t give a fuck about the size of vehicles. I just don’t like road infrastructure. The one silver lining of global homo is bike lanes are actually better. People can’t afford nice cars anymore anyways. And cars in general take up too much space. Why do people need a big SUV to drive 3 miles a day in the suburbs? When it snows it’s nice sure. But this is like 20 days of the year at most as far as snowed streets. Seems like a waste.

>>25774064 >What’s the point of WW2 if energy prices are so high? thats exactly why we went to the oil fields in caucasus region but hitler got distracted by a city with stalins name in it

>>25773933 >Our apparent wealth is financed by selling assets and debt >Previous administrations were content to kick the can down the road, Trump is not. Then why is he signing a budget proposal that increases the deficit by 2.8 trillion and why did he revert the trend in lowering budget deficit inherited from Obama during his first government?

>>25774118 It's a stock 2000 S10 ZR2, the factory off-road package. Yeah, it's never gotten better than 18 on the freeway. >>25774141 Because he's trying to cushion the short-term economic impact of the disruption caused by his tariff policy. Any positive effects will take years to develop.

Sorry for 61% rape :(

>>25774209 Actually no, the budget plan is long-term and set to increase continuously until 2034 with a debt to GDP ratio increasing from 117% to 125%. This is at the same time as he is pursuing every inflationary policy the office of the president can possibly engage in, which will push the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates, thus adding at least another half trillion in sheer interest payments on that deficit, which itself is set to go from 5.8% to 6.8% within the decade.

>>25774230 Source?

>>25774247 https://www.crfb.org/blogs/house-budget-allows-least-28-trillion-deficit-increases

>>25774253 So a budget proposed by the House and under review with potential positive economic impact which you failed to quote and which does not include changes to tax income like the new tariffs. Not that I expected much.

It wasn't rape. The USA was asking for it.

>>25774322 >under review Bruh yeah it hasn't been signed yet but it's what Republicans want. They are literally proposing an increase to the deficit. >does not include changes to tax income like the new tariffs That's only gonna make it even worse because of the recessive impact of tariffs which means lower revenue.

So sorry

>>25774346 It's clearly still under debate and the numbers you quote don't take into account the stimulus effects of the spending. The revenue from tariffs goes to the federal government boosting tax revenue and lowering deficit.

Now its our turn to do the raping, Russia's turn too.

>>25774322 >>25774394 >It's clearly still under debate Any minor details to be set aren't likely change the core idea which is that the government is pursuing a big deficit increase. >and the numbers you quote don't take into account the stimulus effects of the spending. The revenue from tariffs goes to the federal government boosting tax revenue and lowering deficit. Tariffs are taxes and taxes are inherently recessive. Every GDP forecaster has been revising its numbers down and some even predicting a recession. This after Jerome Powell freely gave Trump the keys to an easy ride having achieved a soft landing, which he immediately wasted.

>>25774466 >Now its our turn to do the raping, Russia's turn too. You're both literally raping yourself, it's hard to watch and sad

Chile and Mexico = stronk Rest of LATAM = USA peasants getting destroyed by Drumps

>>25774503 >argentina getting destroyed you love to see it LOL
