Donald Trump Tariff Proposals

The “Peace” President Has Bombed Seven Nations In His First Year Of His Second Term!

Donald Trump is obsessed with his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize, so much so, that he, willingly, accepted the “gift” of the prize from Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela, who he is unwilling to support as the new President of that nation, despite her party’s victory.

This is outrageous and obscene to the extreme, weird and loony behavior on the part of Donald Trump, but he has no shame!

At the same time, he has managed to use military force and bombed SEVEN nations in his first year of his second term:

Venezuela
Iran
Iraq
Syria
Yemen
Nigeria
Somalia

And now, Trump is threatening military action to seize Greenland, thereby posing a danger to Denmark and all of NATO. And now, he is threatening new tariffs on our NATO allies, upping the ante of crisis in an alliance which has managed to protect the peace and promote unity for 75 years.

While one can certainly consider the 7 nations that were bombed as, in many cases, “problems”, who gives the United States the right to use military force to impose its will?

To the civilized world, including our NATO allies and friendly nations elsewhere around the globe, the United States under the leadership of Donald Trump has become the “lawless” nation, creating a crisis atmosphere, and a threat to world peace.

This can only encourage Putin and the Russian Federation, and Xi Jinping and China, and Kim Jong Un and North Korea in their own “spheres of influence”, to continue to take aggressive actions, making the world much more unsafe!

Trump Tariffs Leading America Toward Recession And Inflation: Stagflation!

Today, April 2, is the day that Donald Trump will reveal the extent of his Tariff “Wars” against the world, including not only China, Mexico, and Canada, but also our NATO allies and nations we are allied with in Asia, as well.

An economic disaster is ahead, as economists have warned against such lunatic action as putting tariffs on all kinds of economic activities.

History tells us what happened when Herbert Hoover imposed tariffs in 1930, despite admonitions by hundreds of economists, signing the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, which helped to make for the horrors of the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Economists now predict that America will witness a severe recession, as more Americans lose their jobs, not only federal workers who are being fired enmasse, but also ordinary Americans who will suffer from lower economic activity, causing bankrupties of businesses and massive layoffs in many industries, as sales decline rapidly.

But also, it is predicted there will be high inflation, with the excessive increase in costs of all kinds of goods as other nations raise tariffs in reaction to our raising of tariffs.

So we are likely to have the worst possible combination of high unemployment and inflation, which is what is called “stagflation”.

This is what Donald Trump is bringing us, when he promised lower prices on “Day One”, and the stock market just had its worst quarter since the height of the COVID 19 Pandemic in 2022!

With his Rose Garden speech just concluded, Trump is causing a major decline in the stock market, which will be fully revealed on Friday!

High Tariffs On Major Trading Partners Will Devastate The American Economy!

If Donald Trump follows through on his threats to add a 25 percent tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico, and 10 percent on Chinese imports, it will devastate the American economy in short order.

Besides worsening relations with our three major trading partners, it will cause massive rises in prices on all kinds of goods, such as:

Clothing
Furniture
Household Appliances
Toys
Food
Automobiles
Travel Goods
Smart Phones

It will worse our relations with our neighbors, and destroy the USMCA trade agreements, promoting distrust with both Canada and Mexico, who share thousands of miles of boundaries, and undermine our relationship with China, our leading rival in world affairs.

It will be destructive of international relations, and of American economic progress, which had advanced under Joe Biden, despite the inflation problem.

If Americans voted against the Democrats on the inflation issue, they will get a rude awakening under Donald Trump, as we will have similar situation as we had in the Great Depression due to Herbert Hoover and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930, and the Panic of 1893 due to Benjamin Harrison and the McKinley Tariff of 1890.
