She was going to fix the economy!

The economy is doing slightly better and there are no quick fixes.
I would trust Harris with it since she would have listened to experts instead of Turd Lump, a 6 time bankrupt loser, who wants to impose tariffs which will actually increase prices.
All we can do is hope and pray that he does not follow through with this plan.
If he does then expect a blue wave in the midterms and a Dem. POTUS in '28.

You think that tariffs is going to be a good thing when those will increase prices?
You'd better hope and pray that Turd Lump does something different.

The original proponent of tariffs was
James Madison.
They do three things:
Add money to the treasury
Protect our domestic industries
They can be used as bargaining chips.
You're so ignorant on this subject. You obviously drank the Marxist Kool-Aid again.

While they increase prices that will be passed onto the consumer.
It happened before with Turd Lump and it will happen again should he do it.
Did the Trump tariffs lower prices for American consumers?
By Gabriel DeLuca Vinocur·November 14, 2024
No
The 2018-19 tariffs increased prices for both imported and domestically produced goods.
The tariffs required U.S. companies to pay an additional fee to import many foreign goods. Some companies passed on these fees to consumers by raising retail prices. Domestic producers responded by raising the prices of their own goods, which became artificially more competitive.
The U.S. International Trade Commission found that in 2021, the tariffs increased prices between 1.7% and 7.1% in the ten most affected sectors. These include apparel, car parts, furniture, and computer equipment.
The Biden Administration has kept or increased the majority of Trump’s tariffs, particularly on China, citing continued unfair trading practices.
President-elect Trump has proposed a 10% tariff on all U.S. imports and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods. The Yale Budget Lab estimates consumer prices would rise by 1.4% to 5.1% with a cost per household of $1,900 to $7,600.

Bullshit and fake news, cesm!
It won't happen because the offending countries will get their fecal matter aggregated, and stop either cheating in trade or letting illegal aliens into their countries. The tariffs are a bargaining chip. Further more, this will bring companies back to the USA creating thousands of new jobs to help the economy. Are you really that ignorant?
And btw, the stock market agrees as the Dow hit
44,736.57
today, a
new all time high
. And
59%
of the American People approve of the job Trump is doing on the transition.
Meanwhile, please enjoy more NFL Players doing

The tariffs Trump has proposed would likely have a far broader and more negative effect on the economy. They would almost certainly lead to an immediate increase in prices. They could also spark a trade war in which the US and its trading partners enact tit-for-tat policies to damage each other’s economies.
Monday evening, Trump threatened to slap 25 percent tariffs on goods imported from Mexico and Canada “until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!” (The realities of fentanyl trafficking and migrant flows are more complicated than Trump’s post suggests.) Trump has previously proposed tariffs of up to 60 percent on goods imported from China and has suggested smaller tariffs, 10 to 20 percent, on goods imported from other trading partners like the European Union.
Trump’s tariffs, if enacted, are a recipe for inflation, according to economists. Right now, importers are reliant on the availability of cheap, foreign-made products, particularly from China. If they can’t find equally cheap, high-quality alternatives, prices will rise. Any policy to mitigate the effects of that could take several years to have an effect.
In a second term, Trump and his team seem poised to use tariffs as a threat, no matter the consequences for US consumers and businesses.

Bullshit, cesm! They are tools to get other countries to stop being ASSHOLES! Wise up! And besides,
prices are already coming down:

If this was true,
They are tools to get other countries to stop being ASSHOLES!
Then how can that work when the costs of tariffs are just simply passed onto the consumer?
Tariffs hurt no one but us.
The consumers.
Unless or until you show me proof with an article that backs up your claims that tariffs somehow bring prices down, you are full of ****.
I showed how they did not work last time Turd Lump was president and how they won't work again.

That is not true. Once again you have demonstrated your woeful lack of understanding about tariffs, international relationships and bargaining.

Why should anyone feel like bargaining when all they have to do is pass the cost onto the consumer?
I hope you are right and I won't mind being proven wrong.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens and how this plays out.

You have
NO idea
how bargaining or international negotiations work or
The Art of The Deal.
And yes, I AM right! I know that because President Trump did such a
spectacular job
in his first term. Then Dementia Joe and Kuntrag came along and destroyed everything. That's why she and Tampon Tim
(aka Elmer Fudd)
LOST!

You're right.
I don't.
Feel free to explain it to me or show me how it worked to the contrary of this in Turd Lump's first term where his tariffs raised prices and AFAIK there was no bargaining or "Art of the Deal," that resulted from them.

If you don't have any counterpoint to prove you right then you're just trolling as you always do.
Then Dementia Joe and Kuntrag came along and destroyed everything
How so?
Again show me with proof and not just your crackpot trolling opinions.
That's why she and Tampon Tim (aka Elmer Fudd) LOST!
Among the many reasons they lost is because of the lies and wrongful blame Turd Lump kept throwing at them to fool you into not realizing that inflation is slowing down prob. because of the work Biden did for that.
Turd Lump is actually getting a pretty decent economy just like last time.
If he carries through with his tariff and mass deportation plans then expect it to get ****ed up.

Just more trolling from the crackpot who knows nothing.
Maybe I should start calling you Sgt. Schultz or just SS since we do have a fascist about to be "president" again.
