Interesting read on tariffs - the big picture


Recommended Posts

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/04/trumps-right-on-trade--europe-has-been-free-riding-for-too-long-f.html

 

Look, I do not like all these tariffs, I do not like trade wars, I do not like the presentation of Trump. But when it comes down to the fundamental point of saying to policymakers in Europe, ‘Look at what you’re doing and this is not sustainable and look what happened the last time we had these imbalances,’ there is actually a fundamental point here,” Lonergan said.

The author fails to take into account the damage trump, his presentation, and his tariffs are doing to the American brand. Even if all tariffs were removed tomorrow, he’s done so much damage to the American image that America Inc is going to be a hard sell. A great metaphor of this is his own hotel chain. Room rates at trump hotels around the world have dropped up to 30%.

What negative Nancy fails to realize is these tariffs will bring folks to the table. Just watch.

 

  • European officials are considering holding talks on a tariff-cutting deal between the world’s largest car exporters, according to the Financial Times.

What the hell are you talking about? Our brand is our consumer power. All the niceties and holding hands is nothing in comparison. America Inc could be mutilating puppies for sport and that wouldn’t change.

Huh? This is about balancing trade. Part of this is producing a product that’s attractive overseas. Very few American vehicles sell well in Europe because they’re boring. Trump’s sewer mouth is not only killing his own hotels but the American brand as well. Have you not noticed? Most people in the world see trump as he really is. I don’t find it surprising that in a world that’s on fire economically, trump’s hotels are nose diving globally.

I don't think anyone objects to correcting imbalance, however to jump down the hole without looking seems to be idiotic.
