This. Neoliberal globalization has enriched the Western elites at the expense of the Western middle class, while creating a small, emerging middle class in places like China as a side effect.

How is that clear?
All i see is rampant profiteering.

BUT it was packaged and sold to the American people as a way to reduce the cost of living!

free market, remember?

e- thanks again boomers.

If you folks really can't get behind what i'm telling you.

Look up pictures of china in the 1960-1970s,
they were still using bicycles and carts.

Then usa empowered china under the guise of cheap labor.
Look at china now compared to then.

yeah great plan guys n gals.

e2- meanwhile in USA 1960s-1970s there were big beautiful American made muscle cars.
Housing was plentiful, food was inexpensive, EVEN despite the 70s poverty.
Then reagan showed up, pumped money into the usa economy, which the boomers grandchildren have to pay for.

The grandchildren are paying for it now.
no more housing, no more muscle cars.
empowered china.

Oh it's very clear and transparent.

How did making himself billions of dollars off a scam coin help america?

arnt you some big time ranch owner in australia. always REEEEing bout trump sounding like some rich elitist

Trump cost me $112,000 in a single day, i have every right in the world to point out what a putrid scumbag he is, shove it.

shrieking lefties act like this is the only time ever ever ever the stock market went down "sky is falling sky is falling"

In simple terms, Donald Trump's tariffs are primarily designed to encourage people to buy products made in the U.S. rather than importing them from other countries. The idea is to make foreign goods more expensive by imposing taxes on them, which would, in theory, make local U.S. products more attractive to consumers because they would be cheaper in comparison. The goal behind this is to boost American manufacturing. By making imported goods more expensive, U.S. companies would have a better chance of competing in the market, thus encouraging businesses to produce more at home and, hopefully, create more jobs. This approach is often seen as part of a broader "America First" economic strategy, focusing on reviving industries that had been offshored over the years, like steel, automotive, and manufacturing.

just dumping this here for full clarity.

in practice: everything is more expensive now.
