Trump tariffs and the economy | Forum

#1

While DebateArt was still in operation, I engaged in a debate challenged by Moozer325 back in May regarding the Resolve: "The Tariffs imposed by Trump in his second term have had a negative effect on our economy so far."

Moozer was Pro; I was Con. He made the debate a very short term affair, with consideration for "a negative effect" from only beginning of February to mid April, during which time, the Market [Dow] took a brief dive, recovered, and exceed the level reached before the dive - all in a few weeks. Considering the longterm investment the Dow is supposed to be observed, and not merely in days, I felt the effect was negligible, if measurable at all, since in days, the Dow had recovered, and still is. And that was my point then and now: the tariffs have turned out to be a blockbuster in investment. If you're still around, Moozer, even under another username, what do you think? Anypne else is welcome to chime in.

If the stock market tanked, then you would say the tarriffs are good because even though rich NYC goons lost profit, the American worker benefitted.

You're not worth arguing with; you're too predictable.

”You’re too predictable.”

Do you mean like hating Dems?

You don’t know me.

@fauxlaw

You hate anti Trump politicians, and anti Trump = Dem while Pro Trump = GOP, so yes. I stand by that statement.

I do not "hate" anyone. That, to me, is unacceptable language by accusation. I am somewhat in opposition to Trump, and voted for Cruz in the 2016 primary, and voted for Trump in that fall election because I knew Hillaryous Balloon Girl was fond of, and wrote her senior thesis on Saul Alinski, whose 1971 Rules for Radicals was a progressive [a communist who is soft on one's self] primer, and for Trump in 2020 because I've known since 1973 [Biden's entry into the Senate] that Biden was a useless lapdog of Robert Byrd [KKK grandmaster], and for the same reason in 2024, except dumber than than dumbest. And Kamakazzi was beyond dumbest. I've known of her [also being from CA] that she was worthless as a city [SFO] DA, let alone state AG as the lapdog of Willy Brown [CA Democrat of years of nonsense].

So in 2016, you were anti Trump and in 2020 and 2024, you were pro Trump.

You don't like the word, "hate"? Fine.

You oppose all anti Trump politicians in 2025 and support all pro Trump politicians, correct?

As I said: you don't know me. You act like every choice is binary. Nope, join the real world. You have multiple choices, and think binary. I have multiple choices, and try to find more.

@fauxlaw

Are you left wing on any issues that Trump is right wing on?

Still binary. Let it go. Do you think everyone thinks only in terms of left and right? It's a 360º circle, not 2, yeah?
