Ich habe eine frage bitte, or I have a question please, about tariffs

Guten tag alles, I am wondering about something and perhaps some of you can help me?
An orange that escaped the locked ward of the insane asylum and then made his way into the oval office somehow,
has just paused tariffs AGAIN. He is making a claim and unfortunately our media can not vet it as he won't share the information with them.

He says i think it is 70 plus some nations are approaching him looking to make a deal. But he is refusing to name these countries. Has there been anything on the news or in your media where you are about this? That indicates weather they are calling Trump, seeking a deal on tariffs? Where are you located?

Thank you so much for your time. I am very curious about this as Trump, has a long history of chronic lying. So I would like to know if there is any merit to his claims. Again thanx so much for your time and I am soooo sorry he is doing all this crazy shit. We were better served when he was stuck in the locked ward of the mental hospital.

Since his election, Trump's decisions and words have never seemed so absurd. We wonder if he's stupid, crazy, manipulated by Putin, or all three at once. He seems to want to make Putin his friend to counter Xi Jing Ping. In this case, he's very naive. He wants to force China to bend by imposing customs tariffs that would stop all trade between the two countries. He seems truly reckless. Above all, he has no moral values. Everything for him seems to boil down to power struggles and financial transactions.

Interesting views.... Thanx for sharing. I have always found him absurd actually and quite icky. I would argue in favor of stupid and crazy and will raise you narcissistic. I too think he is manipulated or controlled by Putin. Hard to view it any other way all things considered.... I mean how many tariffs did he put on Russia??? Yeh. I rest my case on that point. I think it goes back to childhood and failing to please his daddy. All those bankruptcies etc.... I think he wants to make a tv show where he wins capitalism. He can't win if Xi, maintains any power or ability to claim equal status in the world of business. He finds Xi, therefore very threatening. Xi, tried to work with him over his last term. Bought him basically. But this time the price has gone up and Xi, is not interested in continuing to pay by giving Trump's daughter trademarks and Goddess Bia, knows what else.... Soooo he seems to be drawing a line in the sand. I can't say I blame him. Naive? Ignorant might be a better term. Yes, he strikes me as truly wreckless also. I fear for so many people who are not going to make it because of the choices Trump is making. I fear for the children that will be born to mothers unequipt to care for them in a society that has cut all aid to the people that need it most, because of Trump and Elon.... Yes, I agree. It is all one big pissing contest to see who has the biggest.... errr.... hands for him. He doesn't seem to realize real people are going to suffer because of him. He seems to think he is making a tv show, The Real Leader Of The Free World, even as he strips this nation's people of freedoms.... ooor The Apprentice Oval Office. Where everyone kisses his ass to stay on the tv show. But there is something deeply troubling and that is Signal Gate. No one lost their job. I don't think he can fire most of these nutbags he has brought in. For whatever reason, maybe they purchased their positions outright??? Maybe they too are russian assets that Putin forbids him to fire???? I really have NO idea. All I can do is throw my suspicions against the wall and wait to see which sticks. I am generally not a conspiracy theorist.... But ummm.... Trump, should have fired someone under the rules of his reality show and yet he has not. So there is something behind the scenes maybe we don't know about?

I didn't vote for him. My hope is that when Dems take the house back he is immediately impeached. But I don't think Dems have the fight for that... I mean, have you seen Schumer??? Ugggh, not really that much better. Still, an improvement to the current.

But where are you and has there been any talk of your country making contact with the orange dip shit to kiss his ass in an effort to reduce tariffs? He says over 70 countries have called begging to do that. Then he refuses to say which countries. Which means our media can't fact check his claim and ummm, he is a 34 time felon so it seems prudent to me to try to check every last claim he makes as he can't be trusted to tell us the truth. So is your media where you are talking about going to him to ask for a better tariff deal? If not, what are they saying in relation to this orange locked ward mental hospital escapee?

Thanx.

it seems like you are afraid to just call him by name. (like Voldomort in Harry Potter)

His name is Donald Trump, a convicted citizen who could still become president with his money.

He who accuses everyone of fake news but does nothing else himself.

The problem with media in every country on this globe is that they spread colored news.

That is no different in the Netherlands. But what I read is that he often has to go back on his statements.

By increasing the import duties for non-American products, the value of the dollar is currently plummeting.

By hitting the Chinese hard, 125% import duties, the import duties for American products in China are increased.

As a result, the American economy is experiencing shortages, because the industry in America cannot absorb the shortages in this short term.

Also read that due to his gender policy, there are far fewer tourists. Also read that a number of Donald's loyalists are leaving. Also read that vaccination is coming back now that measles has broken out. Also read that Putin is opposing Donald by working together with China and Korea. Also read that Europe is becoming more of a unit now, which means Donald can no longer play countries off against each other.

I hope for the people of America that all this does not lead to an internal war, because that only brings losers.

New:

US President Donald Trump exempts several electronic products from import duties, including smartphones, PCs, computer monitors and memory cards.

hahahahaha Nope. Not afraid. I just really don't like him or his name. Other options of things to call him amuse me more. He is a 34 time felon who yes used his money to get his orange arse elected. You are correct about his fake news fetish. He DOES with some frequency and alarming regularity have to go back on his verbalized insanity when it is pointed out as insane.

Yes I understand how tariff wars work. I am in an educated blue state. You know, the one where we dumped a bunch of tea had a tantrum and declared independence over 200 years ago now.. Not so long after that we founded Harvard. Today we in fact in this state have excellent education compared to the rest of this nation anyway.

Actually last I heard the China tariffs were up to 145 % from our end on them and theirs were up to 125 % on us. Yes I know what will result. Shortages massively higher prices for most junk. I am aware most here can not absorb the shortages.

Yes, I am NOT a fan of his stupid gender policies. As a result of them I now fear for the welfare of members of my own extended family. This state, was also first to legalize gay marriage. San Francisco was after us.

Glad to hear about Europe. I think that is a wise choice they are making to be a unit.

Honestly I worry about that too. I feel the same way. Whatever we do about this orange bag of turds, it must be done without the use of any violence. Because you are correct, there are only losers then. I reserve the right to mock him mercilessly however.

Thank you so so much for sharing. I do appreciate because our media is being severely impacted so knowing what you are hearing is very useful for me to know.

Good night Amanda ! How are you ? I understand very much why a majority of american citizens have voted for Donald Duck as he is often called in France and brought him back again to the White House in Washington : the strong and very hard inflation that the Us is knowing since the end of 2021 is one of the main reason for such a vote and specially for some people who were not great fans of Maga s ( make America great again) movement before. I used to write recently on Penpal to one person living near San Francisco Calfornia and I heard this week on the radio the comments of a french man living in New York, they were both complaining about the outrageous ( as they said ) cost of life in such places : the french man said that you have to be a billonar if you expect to live in Frisco or Ny now and he gave us the example of the price of just one orange there , he meant that for the same price you can buy a pack of such a fruit in Paris which is far from being the less expensive city in Europe as everybody knows !

The promise Donald Duck made to his fans during his last presidence campaign was to give more money to Americans by abolishing income tax in the Us for all of them who are earning less than 150 thousands dollars a year and he always said that such a plan would be made thanks to the massive increase of tax customs rights on foreign products entering in the Us and by the way, Donald Duck is just trying to practise the same policy as former American présidents used to follow during nineteen century and beginning of the twentieht but his main problem now is that World s business has very much changed since Teddy s Roosevelt time !

My kid sister is doing ok. But a billionaire she is NOT. She is affording NYC just fine. So I have to take that information about the cost of an orange with a grain of salt. That said the 4 most expensive cities or areas to live in include NYC, Boston, DC, and San Francisco. I did NOT put that into any particular order. I don't think the cost is really that far off from the others in any one of them. I live in the Boston area. My sister is in NYC. It is expensive to live in these areas of the country compared to other areas. But a billionaire? Nonono not necessary.

Next thought I had is Donald Duck? hahahaha I like it. Sometimes I call him something similar just more rude. Donald Dumb Ass. The french really are too polite to our orange felon freak show.

How am I? Good, just making brunch. Bran muffins with raisins made with self milled whole wheat flour, maple sugar, and raisins, and of course bacon. I do bacon once a week on sundays. Usually breakfast is just some fruit and nuts and a slice of whole wheat bread. But sundays I get fancy. How are you doing?

He DID claim he would lower prices. Mainly on eggs. Which I of course didn't believe, cuz I am a farmer. I may not be a market farm but ag science and issues are mainly the same either way at least to a point and the egg issue happens within that space. Soooo I knew there was nothing he could do about egg prices because the problem is the culling large factory farms are being forced to do due to the bird flu. So it results in shortages. Add to that pandemic inflation that we would soon have been past but not quite yet and yeh, it was expensive. I however didn't care too much since I don't buy eggs. I put my coat on grab a basket by the door and just walk out to my coop where it is free to get eggs, with the dog in toe in case I run into a bear.

Ahhh he promised to lower taxes for the billionaire class. I don't recall him saying anything about those making less than 150 k. Which in this country in most areas 150 k is a rather large salary for most. Last time he by and large only lowered taxes for billionaires and the super rich. That was my understanding of his plan this time around as well. Unfortunately, his tariffs have raises the cost of living alarmingly. Plus he plays with them as if they were a lego collection. Which creates problems and uncertainties. It isn't helpful and just drives costs of living up higher. It also drives out business. Then there is his insanity surrounding China..... It is quite frankly madness.

But he makes claims that other countries are coming to "beg" him to fix the tariffs for them. He won't tell the media which countries they are. He is a notorious liar. So I am wondering if you know anything or are hearing anything in your news where you are about this. Is your nation going to ummm "beg" him? I should think not. France I would think would have more strength than that I mean you are after all France a powerful nation in your own right. But you are also part of the EU. So I would again assume EU will handle this collectively and not through begging and ass kissing??? So who is begging him about these tariffs??? I can't imagine there are enough Asian nations to get to 70 something even if you throw a handful of Afrifcan and even middle eastern countries in too. So who is begging him? And what are you hearing about this begging? Anything?
