screenies from tiktok and instagram have little substance here without proof

The case is that companies importing Chinese goods are gonna get shafted by the 60% tax, and people shafted by that. The economy lost 2.7 million jobs under him last time and you dumbf**ks think he's the one good for the economy? Dems have had to repair a post-Trump and post-COVID economy and idiots blamed them for it.

Why buy Chinese trash when we can make it here keep the money and have the jobs in America?

   Unemployment was never better across all categories under Trump, it was the left that shut the country down for covid, He advocated for keeping it open.  Repair?  Is this what you call build back better lmao skyrocketing inflation is not something you should brag about

Exactly my work bought 4 chinese LDV cars in January as they were cheaper and they are all garbage and constantly being sent back to the dealer for repairs and they sit there for weeks as they have no spare parts , I told them to pay more and stick to the  Honda's we use much better and safer.

 

And each one has different , faults , right front brake  burnt out , brake lights staying on , airbag sensors faulty , interior door panels falling apart the list goes on and on

Appeal to your very informed opinion, then? Appealing to authority is only a fallacy when neither you nor them can back up the claims, eg "Doing X is wrong because the law says it is wrong." Not "doing X is wrong because of this moral argument this author presents." Or appealing to an unreliable authority - e.g. somebody who spews 30 lies per hour. But I'm sure a random person is more well-informed about economics than a majority of economists. If you could explain to me why the source is wrong I would appreciate it. 

SonofCoul [2848284]

According to your own article 1/3 of economists claim it is wrong.   You made a lame post with no evidence and are asking me to provide sources to discredit your lack of an argument?

Quartemioric [3375600]

Could you provide the exercept please? If you mean 1/3 disagree you're correct, but that's a minority, and as the article says only 12% believe Harris would be worse for inflation. And yes, tariffs are bad when Biden does it.

SonofCoul [2848284]

So they are wrong because they are in the minority?  What about spending our dollar in America and on America is worse than buying cheap Chinese crap?  What's worse, paying a bit more and keeping the money in America or sending our money overseas to enrich nations that hate us?   Piss on china
