konata88The press is reporting things like it'll cost the average person $5000 more per year because of the tariffs.
Where are they talking about US jobs saved or jobs returned? Where are the USA companies that still have made in USA products, especially clothes? Like sock companies or boot companies or vitamin companies?
Am I missing it or where are the non-political voices of industry saying - about time the playing field got leveled. Where are the 'main street' people shouting back against this MSM tide.
I'm tired of the left spouting their one sided shit about this. Vance and others are going a good job but need captains of industry and factor workers and the people of main street to strongly voice support. Now is not the time to be quiet.
I'm on a budget, but if it costs me $5000 per year so that my neighbors stay employed or get employed making made in USA products, hell yea.

Oh bullshit, more fake news MSM scare tactics. I don't recall them complaining about the massive Biden/Harris inflation costing consumers thousands and that is a fact.

snwghstI’m going to step on my dick and ask
Who here actually believes the Cabinet heads are competent to lead the departments they have be nominated and put in place for?
Let’s be real,
Except Rubio. I don’t think any of them
Please convince me otherwise

Oh please. They have only been at their jobs for what 2 months maybe and being blocked every step of the way already in many cases by activist judges not to mention still trying to weed out traitors/leakers in their ranks trying to sabotage them.

Why would I bother trying to convince you of anything? I voted for Trump to burn leftist policies from our government, and so far him & his team are exceeding my expectations.

Guess you weren’t paying attention to the last four years under biden.
Trumps cabinet heads look like rocket scientist compared to the biden fruit cakes. Things are going to be just fine.

Interesting. May I ask, what triggered you to suddenly be so upset about the Trump administration? What's the straw that broke the camel's back? I see you have exactly 2 posts in this Trump Year V thread, one is something about Tesla, and this one trashing Trump's Cabinet as just a bunch of incompetent fools. Except Rubio.

You are the accuser. You need to make your case convincing us. There is no us convincing you, because you already made up your mind, despite this entire thread, being 99.9% positive on Trump, is explanatory enough.

I believe in every Trump year thread, I've included this quotation and for the first time, I'm going to include it in response:
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
Convince you? Are you a grown legal age man? Why should anyone try and convince you, when you well know that there is no other alternative? Are we or those who voted for Trump and his clear mandate responsible to convince you? He clearly, over many months and dozens of public rallies clearly stated what he would do. He and JD clearly stated their agenda, both clearly endorsed the cabinet. They made this extremely transparent.
We voted, and supported and even more gave them the mandate to do so. So, yes, this is the cabinet we wanted, with the caveat that if they do not perform, because we are in the new era of merit not DEI, Trump has the wide berth to select his advisors, and most importantly execute the plan he has told us he would.
And in less than 3 months, he and his cabinet certainly have. He clamped down on the border, he shut funds on Ukraine for a peace agreement, he is hammering Hamas/Houtis/Hezbollah, he is making all of our "allies" fulfill their commitments, he is balancing the trade deficits, he is uplifting what it really means to be an American by setting up what it means to be an American. And shining a light on the ridiculous department level spending of USAID, the transfer of funding from illegals to citizens that truly need FEMA, to getting men out of women's spaces and sports.
In DOD, to focus on being lethal verse being inclusive. Forging alliances with countries that make us better, instead of being their both bodyguard and sugar daddy.
From Trump's chief of staff, to press sec, to sec of def, sec of homeland, AG, Dep of Ed, SecState, Dep of Com, Sec of Energy, Sec of HHS...pray tell us better ones

downtownvThe Art of the Deal in a short, simple explanation
It goes like this:
Identify your counterparty;
Identify your end goal specific to that counterparty;
Stake out a position well beyond your end goal for the negotiation;
Often, the initial position staked out by Trump seems outrageous and without any rational basis. It is crucial to keep this facet in mind;
Stake that position out loudly and forcefully;
Gauge your counterparty’s response;
If they come towards your real goal, respond in kind; if not, continue the process until they do;
Repeat until the counterparty arrives at your goal.
This isn’t complicated. It isn’t hard to understand. Trump has laid it out in detail in multiple books, including the best-selling “The Art of the Deal.”...

Link?
The New York Times reported:

Which is the number I've heard on the TV news.
Then there's the other end of the spectrum:

That would take a balanced media committed to presenting both sides fairly....that'd be nice.

He put establishment people in the first time, starting with Mike Pence and working its way down from there. What did that get us? It's time to think outside the box. There is progress being made. How about you give them a little time before panicking and throwing them under the bus?
