I can’t afford this Trump economy

"We demand fair trade policies that put working class Americans first, protect jobs, and reduce taxes on the American people, not trade policies dictated by a president's whims," the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) said in a policy statement.

"The ILWU stands strong in the fight for fair trade policies that protect American workers and sustain economic growth. We refuse to accept policies that destroy jobs, inflate costs, and sell out the working class. We call on every worker, every union, and every person who believes in economic justice to stand with us against these Trump tariffs."
"West Coast ports have already witnessed a dramatic decline in shipments from Asia as a result of the tariffs. According to a recent study by maritime research platform Sea-Intelligence, the number of canceled voyages booked for the period April 14 to May 11 rose from the equivalent of approximately 60,000 containers in late March to 367,800 in the second week of April."


 
What’s comical to me is how we’ve angered the rest of the world economically against us. I might’ve been able to see a world where America led the rest of the free world in a trade war against China. Even then, I don’t think it would’ve been easy to win or beneficial. However, it’s just so amateur to see Donald and his worthless administration attempt to wage this trade war against China while also waging a trade war against Canada, Mexico, and the rest of our allies.

anyone else tired of teevee presidenting?

Dictatorship 101
 
Just imagine for a second a Democrat saying this. Like seriously, Trump and republicans are held to zero standards. This is a major problem guys.

I don’t understand why you liked this video. He seems to be downplaying Trump as a threat and insinuates that America’s decline is merely sped up with him. Which is odd. What decline? America’s economy prior to Trump’s inauguration was the envy of the world. Wealth inequality being an issue, but that’s more related to domestic politics than anything wrong with the economy. And it’s not like China’s economy was overtaking ours. They have struggles with their middle class and aging workforce. Ironically, our edge comes from immigration, something trumpers are trying to kill off.

Cultural and military power? I don’t see where the decline has occurred. So what American decline is he referring to?

I look at Trump as a major and unique threat, not something that was inevitable or a continuation of previous Republican presidencies. He drives our society to be crueler. He dominates the headlines everyday. He makes trade policy on a whim, like a king. He’s sinking Ukraine and NATO. He’s demanding our economic president and future. He’s ruining alliances. He’s ruining lives daily with his disappearing people, collapsing our own education, health, and scientific institutions. Lastly, he’s a mega constitutional threat, as he has no loyalty to the constitution and zero accountability from his cult and Supreme Court.

I don’t think downplaying him does us any favors nor does acting like America was already in decline paint an accurate picture of what actually has happened. Had Harris and a Democratic congress won out, Ukraine would be well stocked, NATO wouldn’t be threatened, our allies wouldn’t be planning to defend themselves against us, and our economy would be just fine. Sure, eggs might be a lil more expensive than we would’ve liked and housing is an issue (but it’s more of a state’s issue than federal government). Wealth inequality fixes, gun reform, and universal health care would still need to be legislated. But it’s not like the constitution or world order would’ve been threatened. Unlike now, where it’s violated on a daily basis.
